Every Day in May – #3 & 4

The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!). Today I’m tired [...]

Every Day in May Day 2

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group. EDM 31 – Draw something you collect. I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the [...]

Every Day in May

I’ve decided to participate in the Every Day in May challenge. I’m going to try to create something every day. I already try that, but with family in town and my treatment yesterday, I’ve lagged behind. So, I’m committing to do it this month as much as possible. Some members of the challenge are choosing [...]

Chicago Report and Passover Preparations

This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time! First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, [...]

CreativeTherapy

This week’s catalyst for CreativeTherapy was “The best part of today” I created my entry using the drawings I did while I was with Angie on Saturday. It’s always the best part of the day when I’m with Angie. When I’m not, the best part is the meditative act of drawing. As a result, the [...]

Saturday art

Today has been a great day! I woke up feeling great and excited for the day. For weeks, Angie and I have been planning to join in the International Sketchcrawl and we did it! We finally got to spend some time together and I was able to get out of the house! Today was the [...]

Watercolor Pencils Class is Over

Well, today was the final day for our watercolor pencil class. I’m sad that it’s over, but I really enjoyed the class. It was challenging and rewarding. I will definitely continue to use the lessons from the class. The most important thing: I am completely convinced that I need to continue to practice my drawing [...]

Friday Drawing

As usually happens after my treatment, last night and today have been worse for me than yesterday was. I’m not surprised. It’s my usual flow. This morning I felt awful and sat in the den and stared at shows that I had saved on TiVo for just this reason. Dave left for work and I [...]

Recovery and Drawing

Today I’m in recovery mode, but I was determined to do some art. I was not able to do any yesterday, since we used my dominant hand yesterday for my IV infusion. The infusion went well once we finally got a vein that would take the IV. That took about six tries. Clearly, I was [...]

Wednesday Update

This morning I am waiting for the visiting nurse to come and start my IV of my monthly treatments. I’m happy to be doing it in the privacy of my own home. I really feel better when I know I don’t have to drive or be driven both ways. We’re also expecting my sister-in-law this [...]
