For those of you who were b*tchen...

THANK YOU, I love you! And... ok, I got a doc's appt on Monday. Calling the eye doc too. Hush. Already on it, lol.

This afternoon I went out to the RV to look for art supplies that maybe grew legs and wandered out there or maybe never made it inside from this summer. Specifically on my list were elmer's glue-all, clear tape, super-glue gel, my big box of sketch paper, stencils (hand made & mass produced) and more paint pens and stray sharpies.

I'm wanting to make several sets of coaster tiles for some Christmas gifts and I have different ideas in mind for each set: Map/Travel, tribal, script, poetry, artsy and silhouettes. I wanted to sit and sketch out some different ideas for each theme etc. so my main reason was going out there for the big box of sketch paper. I love the big box of sketch paper and I'm going to be so sad when we run out. It's a huge box (HUGE) of heavyweight (heavy) pin fed perforated accordion printer paper from the late 80's-early 90's. Sometimes I run across this stuff at sales, etc and I scoop it up if the paper is good. It's great for everything, templates, sketching, crafts, kids' doodles etc. The current big box was actually a box and a half and is now a little over 3/4 full and has lasted since April. Hopefully I'll come across another box this spring before we run out again. We always do :)

So I sent my son to the store for Coke as I had an intense craving and I just couldn't wait until we go grocery shopping tomorrow. I needed my "fix" tonight, it was all I could think of, so strange, lol. I figured I'd go look in the RV while he was gone and be done before he got back so he could help me if I struck lucky. He was gone less than 10 minutes and sure enough, I had an armload and a half of stuff I'd gathered and I still had to send him back out for some sketch paper that I'd forgotten that was one of the main reasons for going out there, lol.

I've discovered through trial, (much trial) & error or maybe just "fluke", I don't really know for sure... I've discovered that I can't go outside for very long. I get cold and don't realize it until I come in and have stiffened up so much that I can't get out of my chair etc. and must (MUST) take a nap. Immediately. Whether I want to or not.

It sucks. (well duh, I know) The pain is incredible. Quite fresh, not the same old acheybreakycreakyfuckingouch. It's at a whole new level. I just go down for the count and that's it for the day. Or morning. Or whatever. UG!

Later gator, I'm off to crash...
