My Saturday afternoon into the evening was spent in the ER. Yup, I am very clumsy, have a shirt to certify it. I got up to answer the phone, not knowing my foot fell asleep and well my first step was taken on the back side of my foot. OUCH!! Seriously...OUCH!! During my fall, I re-discovered the often forgotten wonderful world of physics, the painful way. As I experiencing a Chariots of Fire moment while falling, I noticed the marble top coffee table looming toward my noggin', being a veteran at taking falls I managed to make my dodge roll and landed myself on the couch, precariously close to the coffee table...Peanut Gallery had to come home from work to take me to the ER...it was a lovely shade of purple and swelling...After hours...and hours of waiting in a germ-ridden ER and more waiting in the X-ray hall of doom...I came out with a fracture, sprain and soft tissue damage. Go me! I really messed myself up. I can now feel and move my toes...that's always good. I'm still "Hop along Cassidy", but it's getting better. Sadly, I wasn't able to be up at the PC for any extended period of time, this is actually the longest I've spent up here. All for you, my minions!! It's not too painful right now. That being said...my clumsy ways did pay off, or at least I hope they will....
Having being grounded on the couch by Peanut Gallery (which by the way is the most amazing man ever...I'm one lucky gal) I got quite a few rough sketches done. Some almost sickeningly cute, others depressing...but I have quite the pile to scan in...when I am able to stand and go back and forth...which the doctor in the ER said 10 days...I think it may be sooner, though. I haven't been able to digital art since the fateful Saturday...but at least I was able to do some sketches and read....oh lots of sleeping...to make sure I stay OFF the foot.
I'm hoping to do some let the canvas talk digital art today...since I can stay up here a bit longer. Either way, all that work I put in just in case I get blocked REALLY paid off...I totally forgot about the just in case I hurt myself...usually it's not this bad. A broken toe here, a bruise on the hip there, a little nick from a knife over there...I am such a total klutz. In hindsight the accidents I've had are hilarious...because most of them are odd...and almost impossible...but during not so funny. Right now the foot thing, not funny, but when I get through it all, it will be. The only real bummer I wasn't able to workout. I think by Wednesday I'll be able to do a modified workout...didn't realize how much Yoga and Pilates require weight on your feet. So, I learned something.
Arting will commence at full speed when I'm at almost full speed...and I will continue to add to the pile of rough sketches...I'm having a ton of fun with...and having ideas of how to turn them digital. It'll be a lot of good sketches to grow and learn from. So there's my silver lining...my lemonade, if you will...
On that note, minions...I am off to rest the foot. I hope you all had an amazing ER-free weekend...and the week flies by...except hump day, which is when I'll see you next...filled with share my Facebook page to get to 200...we are getting there. The special sketch is waiting for all of you...For now, I bid you an adieu until the day that is hump.
