The mermaid, the ass,

the bird and Jameson

One morning I woke up reluctant to swing my hurt foot out of bed, reluctant to get up at all, why would a mermaid leave the sea? So at the breakfast table I drew this page in blue ink.

During another morning I thought about my doctor's instructions from more than a week ago that I'm supposed to rest. That has meant not doing some of the things I usually do - and an adjustment to my typical ways. I've never been someone who ironed tea towels but I do other extraneous efforts that perhaps aren't really necessary. So I drew this sketchbook page to remind myself that it's okay right now if things aren't “just so".

Earlier I finished a new painting that I've titled “Ass Over Teacup”. More details over on my blog… but here's my ass. 😉

Also, I just visited the doctor again got a new cast - which I've named Jameson.

The doctor tells me again, very firmly, to stay off the foot and rest.

So I'll elevate my foot at home and read…

I hope your week will be as restful as possible and remember it's okay to not iron the tea towels.
