Something about Sunday

Another Sunday morning. Getting ready for work, thinking about my friends who have the opportunity to go to church each week. I didn't always go, but I certainly liked having the option. Haven't been since Easter. The last Sunday I had off, except when I was in too much pain after my broken arm. Maybe someday I'll have the choice again.

Well, I was put in charge of the monthly ASA meeting on Tuesday night. I guess it went okay. We got a lot accomplished. New officers, new committees yet to come, lots to think about.

I finished the painting of my friend's cat, Rocky, I had started last week. I like it, what do you think?? It was such a sweet photo she had taken, and after all I love to paint cats. It just seemed the right thing to do.

Off to work soon. Suppose I better find some clothes and prepare. I fell last night while turning off the heater at work. Fortunately I was sitting down at the time, so I didn't have far to fall. The bad part was the concrete floor, and the fact the chair flipped over and kind of threw me on the floor. Today my shoulder is sore, and so is my back (which popped in at least three places). Today my back is not so bad, but my shoulder hurts as does my neck. NICE!!! NOT!!!

Thursday Night Slump

Well, finally back to post after a couple of hectic run my butt off days and nights, I am taking a little me time. Worked Tuesday afternoon like usual, then ran home, fed dad and ran to art class for open studio time. Made it home and worked on a couple of jewelry items. A pair of earrings and a bracelet from beads matching a necklace I recently made, then a wire wrapped goddess pendant for me. All done in varying shades of purple. Think I have a run on purple lately.



It is so cold here, I hope we can afford the heat we have used this month. If anything happens to dad I will be destitute. Have started my SSA disability application again. Started it in 2005, but lost my log in info, so had to start again Monday night.
Tuesday night at open studio I worked on laying out the mural I am going to paint at the glass foundry. I have a vision in my head if I can just get it to translate to the wall I will be fine.
Yesterday I went to open studio in the afternoon and worked on it some more. I didn't get a whole lot done, but the vision is getting clearer. Maybe I will try putting the basics down on the computer, then blocking in on paper.
This morning I finally finished my Valentines for my artsy/beadsy friends. I went to my cousin's house to wait for the VA rep to come help him fill out his paperwork for getting his illness service connected. That is the first step toward helping him out financially, and getting him to feel better about his life in general. Then I dropped off his bills and mailed out the Valentines to everyone except one special one that needs a box. Will have to go to bigger PO to do that. The little PO in Otis didn't have any mailing supplies. Then on the way home I stopped and picked up sandwiches and cheesy tots at, as Cassie says, Gurger King. Dad and I devoured them while I waited for Tess. Took her to the store and back home, then headed out for art class. We painted cats tonight. I love painting cats. They are probably my favorite subject matter, well, I like painting chickens and frogs, too. I have painted at least seven different cats. Some realistic cats and some whimsical. I have had a great time painting them all. I think I will be able to finish it up next week. It is done from a photo taken by my friend Gwen in Texas.
I am so tired, I haven't sat and read a book in weeks. I think tomorrow morning I will do just that. Tonight I am going to play some brain games on the computer and will head off to bed. (Just typed bead, I think I have jewelry making on the brain.) Good night!!
