Lol
Since we spoke last (uhhhhh…3 weeks ago?); the
following happened.
I was at work, and all of a sudden, I started getting vertigo. My desk would rush up at me every time I sat down or looked away from the screen, I was sweating and nauseated, and when I got up to go the bathroom I was staggering around like a drunken sailor.

I had broken my glasses that
morning, so I thought it had something to do with my vision being borked. I made an appointment to see my opthamologist
that afternoon, and left work early.
I went home, lay down and tried
to make the world stop spinning – got up later to go to my appointment and
ordered my new glasses, and then went back home to bed.
The next morning I woke up with
the same symptoms.
Same thing the next morning, and the
next and the next.
By this time it was the weekend,
and I was fully expecting to go back to work on Monday. But on Monday morning I was no better, in fact, I was worse - with an ongoing fever added to the mix. I
tried to make an appointment with my family doctor, but she wasn't available
until the next day, so I called in nearly dead for two more days.
The next day I went to my doc and
found out that I had a severe ear infection; hence the vertigo, nausea,
imbalance, fever, etc. She told me that I would need another TWO weeks off work (!)
and sent me home with a fistful of prescriptions and a "stay in bed"
order.
I'm now back at work. I'm not quite
myself yet (I still get dizzy when I get up too quickly or when I roll over in
bed or get out of bed); and I had a bout of quite severe nausea and fever yesterday, but I'm more
or less okay.
In GOOD news since we talked
last, I sold "Starling in Hawthorne" and received two commissions. Yay!
For whatever reason, I tend to get most of my commissions in February/March; I
work on them through June/July; take the summer off, and then try to get back
into an art practice in the fall.
This year, I had hoped to get into a regular
studio practice and never mind the rest of it, but my commissions started
coming in early. I'm not complaining – and perhaps this means that I won't get
any in March (although I hope that doesn't happen!); but this is why there will
be a lack of posting over the next little while as I try to catch up/get going/produce work!
I'm also trying to make a gift
for a friend – the original plan was that I would dash that off over the last couple of weeks of
January, but now that needs to be put on the back burner and stuck in - maybe at the end of this month?
So… see you soon? I don't know. I
hope so! :) :) :) I was enjoying talking with you all of you again.
* P.S. amazed that my all day lipstick really did last all day! It's Colourpop - an American brand out of California with a very friendly price point. If you like make-up (I LOVE it lol) check it out! :)
