many things to think about

Today, Monday, I rose at 4:00AM to get to the Hospital because Jake's tonsils are being removed this morning. It went well, He is a little trooper...He hated the shot in the butt, I think it offended him as much as hurt...then he was really out of it, but still awake and carried right into surgery..He woke up in recovery and I could hear him crying and Melly and Albhy went in with him and I saw him later when he came out of recovery...He bravely ate two popsicles so he could go home...(that or a glass of water) and then he fell asleep at home.
Yesterday I took him to the zoo to see the birds...we got there after the bird show started but he got to see a lot of it. Then we waited around for the next show but it was cancelled because it began to drizzle...so we just rode the tram and Jake got to engineer (front seat) the elephant train at the zoo. A nice day (Sunday)
On Saturday Don took me to the brewery where they were having an Art Walk. I saw a lot of ok stuff, but also some really inspiring things. One collage Artist in particular...I wanted to buy one of her pieces but I got over it...too expensive and where in hell would I put it?...I came home all inspired, though, and I dug into my stack of unfinished work and found something I had been working on and forgot I even had done it. I decided to turn the black and white image I had pulled as a proof into a decal which I will apply over silver or gold leaf and then paint into. I put a couple of coats of gel medium on it and it is cooking along while I did the zoo and the Hospital...It feels good to be working again...why do I go away from it? a mystery. Anyway, I need to go see Jake right now and I will post again about the Art to come...
