Well, I submitted my artwork to OHG for them to use as they wish (Zazzle site as well as other projects). I will post it in my album here.
I did have one painting in mind but this morning I changed my mind. Since OHG is MS related one of the ones I did over the weekend really depicts the difficulties us MSers have. I took spackling compound, let it dry, and then took a Dremel to make designs. However, I had no grip strength, coordination, and tremors so the Dremel took over most of the control. LOL I then painted it and put little drops of water in various places just for fun and little special effects. DD16 liked it so much she wanted to do one. However, she didn't want to use the Dremel. So I gave her a . . .I can't think of the name of it . . .however, you use it for doing clay work. She got a more precise and much better design using that tool. I have one prepped and ready to be "carved" out and I am certainly going to use the same tools DD16 did as opposed to fighting with the Dremel. lol |
i posted a couple replies but its by the artwork doesnt even show up on profile page
I like it tk its intersting intriguing and my first thought was of the florida keys the water down there looks a lot like that,hopefully the new weapon of choice works better, i did not even know where the dremel took over artistically and where you left off, ya did good |

there wasn't a single part of me that wasn't bothersome yesterday !! :eek: a series of ice-pick headaches in my right ear, (stab, stab, stab, ouch, ouch, ouch !!) my right hand is all wrapped in gauze from a reaction to mango peel (like poison oak rash) itch itch itch, *itch *itch *itch !! try using a mouse with a bandaged hand... ha ha ha. or try switching the mouse to the other side, and using your left hand. more ha ha ha, the cursor skitters all OVER the place, and scrolling is impossible. my belly hurt bad (clutch, clutch, moan, moan, run to bathroom, hurry hurry !!) so, I couldn't EAT for a whole day, and missed mi esposo's gorgeous masterpiece, the Galantine, which he worked on for many hours. *sniffle sniffle - whine whine* both legs were all tight and stiff, with ankles all swollen and achey, wah wah wah !! and my lower back was hurting, low-grade, but definitely getting my constant attention... twinge, wince, twinge, wince oh, and to add insult to injury, my face is breaking out in ZITS (at age 51 ?? how can this BE ?), and I'm having hot flashes galore. now I ASK you, how FAIR is that, to have Menopause and PMS simultaneously ?? plus, I still have no computer (waiting on capacitors, arriving "soon") so I have to use hubby's and with my diminished capacity, the learning curve is abysmal... see, it's NOT a Mac... so, it's kinda like trying to drive an automatic, when you've only driven a manual all your life, lol !! oh, and I have a whole bunch of bug bites... itchy, twitchy, witchy !! because I hurried outside without being fully covered, to referee a noisy dispute between my birds. my geese were disagreeing with a mother chicken on who exactly should be in charge of her little chickies... see, the GEESE think they know everything, and try to take over, and run the show, and then, LOOK OUT! 'cause mama chicken disagrees. so, all in all, yesterday was a LOUSY piece of *%#*, and I hereby consign it to the dustbin of history, forever. fortunately, with my cogfog, I'll probably forget yesterday, by tomorrow :D it wasn't a day of colossal pain or anything big, just the accumulation of a whole bunch of minor stuff, which I couldn't tune out successfully for very long. luckily, I have a will of steel, and a constitution of adamantine, and made it through to the end without breaking anything, or having a fight with hubby. I mostly lay on the bed, reading Thom Hartmann's great book SCREWED - The Undeclared War Against The Middle Class - and What We Can Do About It http://www.alternet.org/workplace/41192/ it's an absolutely RIVETING book, and I recommend it HIGHLY ! so, I fell asleep at 7 pm yesterday, exhausted, and guess what? it's 2 am, and I'm wide awake. but I'm grateful, my tummy doesn't hurt, my back doesn't hurt, the icepicks are asleep, and the benadryl cream is working on my hand... so, VOILA!! I'm almost HUMAN again, :p now Trish, aren't you sorry you asked ?? :grouphug::hug::grouphug: |

it's not a flare - I hardly ever get those any more, since I'm SPMS. it's just a collection of residual deficits (Sharon Stone's visit), and pseudo-stuff (the leg spazzes), plus getting old, plus picking mangoes without gloves, plus getting bug bites, plus tweaking my back doing housework. not a good combination (wah wah wah) but glad I could make you smile you along the way. and where ELSE would I find sympatico people who REALLY understand what it's like ?? :grouphug::D:grouphug: and yeah, baby bro, I'm goin' back to bed now, I promise !! :D:hug::D |
hugsssssssss Cayo....
hugss to all....on way to work...check in later..hugss,sarah |
Good morning all :) There's an air quality alert here today due to humidity. So I am staying inside with my lovely A/C and keeping track of how I do today.
I'm going to try to take a pic of my last painting today so I can start on the next one. Of course, not sure when I'll get it up. I know how to point and click the camera, but the downloading the picture into a computer is my hubby's expertise at the moment - LOL. ~~~ Frank, my sign language is a little fuzzy, but if I'm right, it said "good morning". Learned a little as a kid because the teachers at school taught us some because there was a girl at our school who was hearing impaired. Kinda cool to watch the teacher incorporate it into what she was saying from time to time. Kay, oh my. Sorry you had a rough day. Hoping it improves. :hug: TK, too cool about the artwork. :cool: Barb, don't feel bad about hiring someone to help ya out. Do whatever you need to do. :hug: I've got someone I can nag for free, and he's starting to help out on his own too, LOL. |
Hope you feel better today Kay, ugh at PMS and premenopausal...Aunt Flo is here for her monthly visit and thankfully she has been pretty tame this month.
Fought all day with my mother yesterday, left me with a headache, exhausted and crying most of the day,my mother has always been extremely emotionally and verbally abusive to me, too bad I have no other relatives to go live with temporarily! Today taking my resume to a clinic here in town and going to buy groceries and school supplies! |
Kay - I am not sorry I asked. I am glad as you were able to vent and that is awesome. I do hope you felt better after you got it all out. I also hope that today will be a much better day for you.
Fin - Let us know how you do. I know that yesterday I did better and the humidity was down to 33% here. It made a difference. Stay nice and cool today and drink lots of iced water, tea, sodas, whatever as long as it has ice in it. That little bit helps. Renee - Sorry about the living arrangement. Keep in mind it is only temporary and you will be out on your own shortly. Good luck with your job prospect. Saying prayers for you.:hug: ~~~ I am gearing myself up for lots of battles this week. Remember when I had to take DD16 to the hospital? Well, I got a bill!:eek: She is on, or so I thought, one of the public health programs. Well, somehow, she got dropped when the state switched programs. She had NO insurance and now I am going to have to pay the hospital bill regardless. I talked to them yesterday and they gave me the number for the program (Kids Care) that dropped the ball as well as the guy was going to send the info over to them. I called yesterday but got that standard message that "all operators were busy serving other customers, call back at another time." UGH!!! On top of that it is going to cost me over $200 to register her for a public school. I don't have $200 to register her. If I can't pay, I can't register her. It is so stupid!!! So, I am gearing up for that battle come Friday when all the seniors have to register. Every year, something has come up when registering her for school. This year will be no exception and I am sure, as I had to do her freshman year, I will be in the superintendents office on Friday after the school gives us a hard time. UGH again!!! It's crazy. It is no wonder we are ranked as one of the bottom states for education. I think we are 47th or 48th. :rolleyes: Ok, I'm done or I'll go on and on about our poor education system and the lack of organization. We did get a new superintendent this year so I am hoping that some positive changes will be made. Have a good day everyone. |
