I am still on here off and on, yet mostly just lurking

Ever since opening the restaurant it has quite literately become my life with spending 12 to 14 hours a day there 6 days a week. It has not left me much energy to focus on my artwork nor my photography skills which is really depressing at times because I have all these ideas just waiting to burst out of me. I am really thinking that after this summer I will take steps to alleviate the work load and quite possibly, if things work out as planned, will be heading to Mexico at the start of next year to spend about a year with my in-laws. This will be far away from any city or town and will grant me the privileged to relax and enjoy life a little and spend more time on what I cherish the most........my art!
Then after my Mexico excursion it is quite possible (more than likely) that I will be moving back to the New Jersey shore area once again. It is not my preferred place to go, yet the circumstances involved will allow me to live a little more stress free and free more of my time up, again...for my art. And I think my restaurant would prosper more there with the larger population than it is here in my little home town of nothingness LOL
So....just busy :/
