Woman with Tamborine by ~Mugwart-the-orc on deviantART
Finally got the sketch book out again... it's been way too long. However I find myself just staring at the blank page more than I used to. guess I need to get inspired or something...

feeling rather down lately. Last Weds. I ate with the hubby at a sea food place and I've had tummy trouble ever since... at least I hope it is only tummy trouble. When it hits I also get rather nasty pain under my shoulder blades and have trouble breathing also. I'm not sure which is worse, feeling hungry and trying to find something that will not set it off or eating then getting the bloated, don't feel good cramp accompanied by the back pain and possibly even vomit. *sigh* I really don't want to go to a dr. but if this last much longer even stubborn I will have to go. Mom has been diagnosed with a hiatial hernia, wonder if I've developed it also? Self diagnosis is so scary and makes me feel like I'm a closet hypochondriac.

Not much is getting done here around my hovel. I'm still spending way too much time sitting in cars with the eldest or sitting at home feeling bad. Pray for me, ok? things have got to change.

I actually started a home exercise program. I've been doing it for a month now, and I haven't lost a single pound. *sigh* Is it age? Have I started eating even more? *sigh* I really don't understand... I guess as long I stop GAINING weight then it is worth it, I hope. I just know that I can't afford to replace most of my wardrobe again this year...

Dental appointment today... root canal on one tooth and an extraction on another. The side of my face feels like a chipmonk hording food. Only ouchier...

Crazy Lady is getting out of jail. Life gets more interesting... *sigh* Not much more to be said there...

Did manage to work on the project for church this morning before leaving for the dentist. While I love doing papermache, It is not something to be done right before going somewhere you don't want glue hanging off of you. Still a long way to go before it's done tho... those Large Banners are actually easier!

well, gotta take my pills and head for bed. Night all....

I am still having trouble with migraines but they seemed to have eased up a small bit So I get to post a picture I painted last week. Can you tell it is getting to be con season when thoughts turn to large amounts of playing DragonStorm? The warpspawn are coming out!

Other things in my life: still writing that blasted story, my mother came for a visit, and still working the crappy job. Let's see, anything else? Maybe later...

just a quick stop by to let every one know I'm still here, headaches and all. I do wish the weather would stay put for awhile... this warm and sunny one day while cold and rainy the next is driving me up a wall and making it hard to get anything done. The only thin I have accomplished in the last of couple of days, between naps to try and keep my migraines from growing into major problems,is one last painting. Now I gotta get started on other things like house cleaning....
Some day maybe I will get good at painting if I practice enough but I never seem to have enough time for everything thing I want/need to do. *sigh*

Mom has taken a turn back to her pre-surgery health and once again I'm scrambling to get out of work, deal with things here in Ohio and get to Indiana to take care of her.  I'm getting sick and tired of that freight train - it's never the light at the end of the tunnel I see but just that freight train coming in for another round. *sigh*  Worse, Hubby is out of town this week, I have a full week of work (some part time job, huh?) and am supposed to be getting my eldest ready to fly off for a mission trip with the Church youth to Costa Rica.  She leaves Saturday so of course this is when things go hey wire.  Please excuse me but I'm tired cranky and.... I see that freight train yet again.  I know my mom does not mean to be sick but the timing just is plain awful.  Right now I don't remember a time when I actually felt like smiling.  I'm ready to run away from home and join a traveling band of Das Karr circus performers.    Prayers for all of us, IK?
