I'm talking now
I'm sorry friends, all my holiday plans I have been forced to change, yet again. I developed a deep skin infection quite fast on my lower right leg after bumping into an old injury that was never fully healed up. By the time I could get in to see the Nurse practitioner it was in serious shape. I was told it was Cellulitis, and I should have gone to the hospital for intravenous antibiotics. I was quite surprised, but asked if I could just try a day or two of pill form meds before making that kind of decision. She relented. So far, I have avoided the hospital, and the infection is healing, but I don't think this infection is going to heal in just a few more days. I feel quite lethargic, with a slight temperature, and constantly nauseous. The icky tummy feeling is what I am battling in trying to get anything done. It's the type, and strength of the meds that make me feel bad.
So my Christmas plans are shot, and I have been delayed this long now in finishing up my few updates to my teddy bear calendar. My updated teddy bear drawings are needed because of faded coloring as some of the drawings are up to 7 years old now. I must need a new way of doing holiday art works. I have had such a hard time with realizing my dreams because of my health, and disability. What I don't understand is why do I have these issues right when the holidays are close, and I have all these cool holiday things I want to do, and share. I'm not the poor, pity me type. Being in a wheelchair has made me much stronger in spirit, and more determined in realizing my hopes. I am a fighter. I don't give in, at least not when I know in my heart I can do this! So, what's the problem?? I do need to change something, and I'm not sure what at the moment that is. All I got at the moment, ---> fantasizing my limbs are cyber robotic super power charged I am woman hear me roar!! With powers of good health, and vitality through my super human blood!! Yeah, I like that fantasy. Happy Holidays= Hanukkah, Kwanza, and a Very Merry Christmas! Love-Hugs-Peace Janet

I can't believe it's been an entire month since my last blog entry. In that span of time it seems, that the whole world has changed, is changing. I went out to do a bit of holiday shopping yesterday, and it was quite strange to see so little traffic, so few people doing anything. Lots of help standing around in the stores.
I have been sidetracked away from my art work plans for the Christmas holiday, which was to have my teddy bear calendar available for orders, and a new Christmas greeting card design. (Also, having my site ready to begin sales of my original works.) The greeting card design I would have shared in my printing site for orders, but now we have less then 2 weeks before Christmas day, and a busy time coming before the date, and the rest of December. I may as well shine that project off for availability anytime soon. I am continuing with the calendar. My teddy bear art had been stored away until I could find a way to purchase prints for whole calendars, and now that the art works are out, as I am getting them ready to make into calendars, I have had to add color onto the entire 12 works, mostly to regain the brightness they were before putting them in storage. I should have sprayed them with a fixative to preserve their color, but I was not planning for it to take another 5 years to afford the prints. Local printing wanted a large price paid for 50 calendars, and net service printing businesses were not willing to negotiate a lower price. I'm going to try a new publishing site for people that want to sell books, art, photography without going to another source or forking over large sum of cash just to get started, by using a method of printing brochures, posters, book and calendars per each order. That might be a workable way to sell my calendars on line. The printing site I regularly share my work on for printing, and purchasing does not print calendars, and that was a goal of mine for quite some time. Side note: I have frame service pending on Impatien Dreams. It's not cheap to have works framed professionally. I'll certainly let ya know when that is finally happening. Have a great days!
