When will I learn?!? I’m an ER nurse … this means I’m a pretty superstitious sort – and yet … It looks like I’ll be slowing down in my studio after all … I’m receiving a thermocouple error on my production kiln. (Which means it’s not running – AT ALL….) I’m hoping for a simple …
So – I got my Tetanus/Pertussis immunization shot on Monday morning, and have felt like road-kill all week … sore muscles, achy joints, headache, my arm is red/swollen and John tells me it’s now including my forearm area … I’m either reacting to my shot or I have the Plague … While I’m glad I won’t …
At the end of the day – a good story: Tunie had her pups on Thanksgiving day … 2 boys and a girl. On Saturday she went to the vet – she wasn’t eating, had a fever and I thought I could still feel ‘something’ in her belly. She had an emergency section, as she …
Since Tunie is still very pregnant and sticking very close – she gets up every time I do, the poor little heifer … now is a good time to sit at the computer. We just might have Thanksgiving babies … how wonderful! And – John surprised me with a new gift … It’s awesome! And …
Oh My Gosh! Who snuck that full-moon weekend in there without warning me?!? Lordy, this past weekend was tough! And, to make it so much MORE fun … we have officially entered the next round of the (never-ending) ‘flu season’. Yesterday is an achy, feverish, nauseated, coughing, sniffling BLUR for me, as my MANDATORY flu shot …
Might as well – since I can’t sleep. I’m on puppy watch – as my York, Petunia (Tunie) is due any day now … so, I tinker and surf and organize and plan and … everything but sleep. Had a work in-service yesterday, brushing up on my OB skills since our local hospital decided to …
So starts the countdown … for the holidays. Since I’ve decided to turn my little hobby into a business of sorts, I didn’t realize the additional ‘stress’ I willingly added to my load. Hmmm … crazy me. But it’s all good. I can handle it. I love stress. Yep. Sure. Thanksgiving, craft show, Christmas shopping, …
Feeling a little blah this week … maybe it’s preparing for winter hibernation (mine) or mentally preparing to acknowledge another birthday … anyway, not much in the studio by way of creativity. It’s been a busy week too though – DARN SANE meeting (people suck!), appointments, airport runs, voting, lots of emails and phone calls …
The first round of our dichroic pendants and badge reels is in the production kiln for fire-polishing. I am hopeful we’ll have some new finished pieces by the end of this week! The large blue blank is slumping in the coffin, along with a couple of wine bottles that needed texturing and the blue/yellow spoon rest. The studio …
So, I’m making some progress – finally feel like my head is no longer sharing space with the virus tumor (Yes – it was a tumor, liquefying my brain – or so I whined to my co-workers on Sunday). Anyway – the head is mine again – so the insomnia returns. It’s ok … I’ll …
