for your feedback and comments on my last post. I know it was self indulgent and I thank you for the time you took to indulge my self pity. I appreciate it and you all made me feel much better about everything, though the boyfriend thing is a task I must take upon myself.  Love you all.

Two of my pieces made it into the exhibition but I didn't even place and Dr. Rhodes (the Juror) told me out-right (he was my Art History teacher in college) that he didn't like my Fairy Paper and that I'm too old to do that sort of thing.  I feel that I am too old but I don't know what to do, I want to make things that mean something but nothing means that much to me and I fall back on what I know I'm good at. I feel like giving up.
I'm unhappy at work, I can't even place in an art contest, my boyfriend of seven years wont even propose to me.
I know I'm just rambling and feeling sorry for myself. Sorry.

I have been working on Holiday commissions and  Christmas presents for my family and friends feverishly (yay alliteration). I also cleaned my art-room the other day. It is so neat and tidy now, it makes me happy. Now to organize the sewing room. Sigh. But I want to finish one of Mitch's presents first.

I was off today so I worked on a commission and I was going to mow but the lawn was still wet. I finished one commissioned piece. Yay!
I also finished a fun piece for me.
I always forget how much I enjoy watercolor.

About two weeks ago I felt weird.  Then It changed to a sore throat and sinus congestion/infection. Then it moved into my lungs. For a few days I felt like there was some improvement but over the weekend it felt like my throat was producing phlegm lovely word).  I knew when it was almost time to take my cough syrup because my coughing and lung congestion would get worse about a half of an hour before hand. This morning I called by Asthma Dr's office but he was off til Wednesday. On my way to work I ended up calling my primary care physician who had me make an appointment for this morning. Surprise, it is bronchitis. I'm on some Prednisone and a Z-pack. I work at a call center so she gave me a note for today and tomorrow to give the antibiotic time to work. I hate being sick, I get so bored but I don't have the energy or drive to do much. I did color that mermaid pic, I'm proud of myself for that. Plus the medication gives me a stomach ache for a half hour even if I eat.
