I had a “Mum” night – no art to speak of, just sticking plasters and sympathy!

Well, no art yesterday, and not even a photo sorted to post…

As soon as I finished work I had to take Mum to the Emergency Dept at the hospital, 1/2 an hour away. We didn’t get home till well after 9pm and then I had to feed us all and get Mum settled for the night.

All is well though. They did blood tests etc and she’s okay. I had made some changes to her medication on Thursday and Friday cos we were having problems, and our Doctor wasn’t available. The A&E Doctor agrees with the changes I made – as we said, after 8 years of nursing Mum I have a reasonable understanding of how much of it works 🙂

So, back into the art today with a vengeance!!

Today was a test – the puppy had to go to the vet. I took Mum for a semi-routine cardiac appointment at the hospital. The cardiac nurse went “omg” and sent her to the emergency dept. They went “omg” and transferred her by ambulance to Base Hospital 1 1/2 hours away. Then she spent over 5 hours in the emergency dept before being sent to the ward. She’s exhuasted and so am I.

But the commitment remains unbroken – even if it is another scrapbook page to relax with.

Okay, so I have been a bad, bad blogger. Mum’s health dramas have got in the way something shocking. She’s on the mend again however.
But no more excuses: enough already!! What follows is the promise I made to an art group I belong to. Here’s the promise, now hold me to it… LOL

Have a great 2007 everyone.

I’ve been reading what artists say happens when they make a firm commitment to doing a piece of work a day. It changes things in all kinds of ways. I don’t normally do any new year resolutions but this time I am. You guys are my witnesses and can slap me senseless if I start making excuses 🙂

I WILL make 1 piece of art a day, every day, for all of 2007.
Conditions: can be a painting, collage or whatever.
must be between 4×4″ and 8×8″
must be put on my website each day
no excuses accepted
