I’m moving this week?

Seems as though I’ll be moving here to a new location in Tucson this week. Sure looking forward to it. I appreciate efforts by Primavera Org, and Alissa Zetlmaier at El Rio Health – Cherrybell to get me housing. I wish that everyone was as effective in doing their job. Saw my friend Christeen out and about and enjoyed telling her about my good news. All that I need is a place to work on my art and I’ll be quite productive again.

Last night I was written up for having a water bottle in the dorm where I’m staying.  I apologized but I broke rules and I could go to another orientation as I did last Thursday evening and have the “write-up” removed. This fellow here does not do “remedial water bottle”. Will have to go on being an H₂O Outlaw. I have been told to carry a water bottle with me all the times as my kidneys produce lots of calcium oxalate stones in the dry desert. Surgical intervention on those stones was in January. I would direct those who issue the write-ups to kindly notice the mistletoe attached to my coattails.

I’ll keep working on my Marcel Marceau Impression and stay out of trouble. shhh.

tomorrow

I think I’ll be moving this weekend to a spot in South Tucson. I’ve heard of it before and prior to voicing an opinion I’ll have to give it some time to see how it really is there. It is along Old Benson Highway.  I’ve been well taken care of since last September and have mentioned some of my “sheltered existence” in earlier writings. It was fortunate I was there when I took some big hits healthwise. Could have been pretty serious (for me at least) if I just went to sleep. I had friends around me that looked out for me – like Bill and Charlie. I owe them a debt. My Caseworker, Stephanie Robles, did a fine job in getting my SPDAT info where it needed to be and that was the key to this Rapid Re-Housing opportunity with Primavera.org.  God bless them all.

About to reboot my Artistic self that has been hard aground since last September. When you are sitting proud on top of the world – working nearly 24 hours a day, living for the weekend, paying dues for being married and raising a couple of children, you never imagine that they’ll all attack you and drain the blood from your veins someday. You’d expect someone to have your back – not be planning the most damaging shot into it. My family is like a Cicada shell jettisoned onto heavily traveled cement years back. Ground daily into fine dust that even a forensic detective would have a hard time finding with a microscope. (Like my love for them). Those people? They have to see themselves in the mirror every single day. Perpetuate a lie from Mommy that they apparently believe. Inbreeding on the Ex-Wife’s side. Check that DNA. (Theme from Deliverance) Hey, please… Prove me wrong. Not my problem. Not at all. I miss my late brother and my parents but it stops there. Even my friend in New Jersey has gone silent. Lots of dead people there in the East. I miss the paintings in the Brandywine River Museum. Wish I had one of those paintings. I will. I really will. Starting fresh in the Sonoran Desert. Ready to enjoy most minutes of most days without guilt or remorse. Done the best a man can. Hand me my pen. Thank you.

Thank You so very much! Patronage…Yay…

An Angel bought one of my drawings of the Sunflower from FineArtAmerica/Pixels.com on Sunday. I appreciate the purchase and hope that you like it a lot. Brightened my week for sure. Thanks. Going to see a whole lot more as soon as I get my new place. I promise you. The compulsion is certainly there. Pens, paper, pencils, and a drawing board. Can’t wait. Looking for an apartment in Tucson. Desperately. A view maybe. Not too particular – just clean and in working order.

Second Chance Rentals disappeared? Apartment hunting in Tucson, Arizona

I was looking forward to seeing some listings with eviction “forgiveness” in Tucson. I was taken to the hospital last weekend with a major diverticular bleed. Was on standby for transfusion, endoscopy with cautery. Thank goodness I stopped bleeding. A doctor thought I lost about four pints of blood. My level of exhaustion is indescribable. My heart is racing and I nearly pass out when rising from a chair. Orthostatic hypotension due to volume loss. Last Friday morning I was hitting a BP of 75/60 and holding onto the walls… My knees were buckling. I didn’t like that at all. Tucson Fire/Rescue brought me to the Banner UMC hospital on Campbell. They are very good and professional. Whether the construction crew in the parking lot lets the ambulances in or not… Lots of IV fluids over the weekend brought up the blood pressure but it is up and down

When I checked my email, second chance said that they weren’t doing business in the area any longer. Strange. I wasn’t in good standing when I left my last Apartment due to my heart attack and blood clots.

Still in search of that Apartment to get settled into and start my drawings again. I desperately want to draw every single day. Please send me an email or text message if you know of a clean one bedroom place that is available for immediate occupancy here in Tucson. Thanks very much. Either write BucksArtist@gmail.com or text me at 5203385609. Appreciatively, Bill

 

On the Move in Tucson – An Artist hunting for a new Apartment. Maybe with a view. Want a quiet neighbor?

Good Afternoon everyone. Moving in an upward direction. Kidney surgery is behind me and I’m feeling so much better now. Need to locate an Apartment in the next week or so and get in before the extreme heat gets here. Probably a one BR to separate sleeping from the work area. I’d look at a 3 BR or Studio to see it though. Maybe with free WIFI? 24/7 Blues music and Art. Ready to go find a drawing board and chair for traditional work and maybe upgrade my digital as well. Ready for comfort and quiet as I bring out the best in me. Bumpy fall & winter but I’ve made it through this far and I’m in search of an Agent from Manhattan to represent me and my drawings.

Need a comfy leather chair or two and hassock with a love seat and sofa. A place with some nice light and the ability to look outside without some creep looking back in at me. Know a place like that in Tucson? Write me or call me. (bucksartist@gmail.com) or leave me a message on my cell. 520 338-5609. Coffeemaker and a coffee table.

I am getting back to normal after last July’s health crisis. The Bill that you know and like has returned after Heart Attack, Clots, Kidney Stones and a general reformatting. I feel quite good. Much stronger. Been reading lots of James Patterson books and have gotten my stuff together. Nicer out by the day with good things to look forward to. Yes.
