Being sick....and creative

I hate being sick. Especially when it means being naseous and feverish. I have no energy, none at all. I spent over 4 days in bed - doing nothing. I know my body needed the rest but I so wanted to be creative and do odds n ends around the house. Get rid of stuff, file stuff. Sure it is boring stuff but it needs doing anyway and has been sorely neglected.

On the positive side I have been painting more. Which makes me happy. I painted a Valentine's Day card for my boyfriend which he prominately displays in his bedroom. And I painted my mom's birthday card. I would like to get set up so I can have a better area to paint. I have been using my computer keyboard tray.

I am almost done with my sickness. A cough and slight cold still persist and might stay with me another week. But I have a good amount of energy coming back.

Hope you're well enough soon to get back to doing some art. Rest and relax for now, you will be back to yourself in no time!

When your health and energy are zapped, it's pretty darn hard to get going creatively.  Now's the time to maybe let some ideas bounce around in your mind and then you'll be ready to spring into painting when you're better.
