A lot going on

Hi. I know it's been awhile since I've really posted. Okay, so I'm not gonna post a lot tonight either. I am tired and achy but I took a friends advice and just did art this weekend.  Nothing amazing or anything but it felt good. Okay, mentally it felt. Physically I got so stiff sitting on the floor that I still can't move well.

I am taking a writing class this fall. It's a "life stories" non credit class that I found. So, for this writing assignment I had this weekend I wrote about the moment my husband told me that my stepdaughter was beaten. It was really cathartic for me to write about every of that five minute period between when he told and when he went to meet my stepdaughter in the hospital. It felt like art in itself, but in your face, blunt art. It was hard. But good.

Well, now that I'm on the mends I'm gonna try catching up on my blogs. Keep creating!

Sick

Hey friends,
Sorry I haven't been posting. I have been sick the past week or so, in and out of the ER...my new special place...errrrrrr.......... So, art news and stuff is minimal. I am still invested in this and am still going to work hard. Just a little frustrated trying to get healthy.

I start my writing class on Wednesday so please cross your fingers that I am not in searing pain by then! I've also missed two Arabic classes. It is really frustrating and disheartening to be so motivated to do something and then have to miss out because of my own bodily limitations. I missed a lot of work and don't have enough money to pay my car payment, or to buy to my Arabic book. I'm am angry and not happy with myself at the moment.

I feel like I finally got healthy mentally enough to get on track, to do what I couldn't do for so long and then my body fights me. It's always fought me but I thought I could push through it. But I can't. It sucks.
