   Mamma the Mecha
Sorry I've been away, but mving the left hand started to get painful. They put another splint on == it surrounds the thumb and goes 3/4 upper the lower arm, but I have a litle suppor t,, hopefully this will begin to heal. It slows me, but doesn't stop. For drawing, I guess I'll be trying computer generated using a trackball (and right hand-- I'm left handed). I thank my friends who help to keep up some frustration with this. Hey Milkcat-- thanks for encouragement! Ozy J, I always look for your thoughts! Balinese, hoping you are finding warm sunshine! Wolfy, hoping there are many colours for you to write! KamyiaUsagi-- whishing you sweet things in life!
When you can't write or draw, sometimes the thinking machine works overtime. All I could see was the clutter in the house I couldn't fix, things at work I couldn't complete fast enough, and nighttime of pain waking me up! Not a good time, and no fun. Well, at least pain is lessened-- I slept last night. I'm hoping I can find a way to put the wildflower picture on my site. That was such an unexpected uplift-- I love the wildflowers, because they are simple-- they have no demands, they just exist-- to give pollen and nectar to bees, and dance in the wind and give colour to brighten the world a bit. There are apricot an persimmon trees budding in my yard. I would love to get an orange or lemon tree... We don't have cherry trees like out in the East. Cherry trees are so beautiful and graceful. My husband went back East n business, and he went to Washington D.C. He called saying how sad it was there-- we had lived in Maryland for a while, and loved going to Wash D.C to the Smithsonian, and walk the Mall area near the Washington monument. People would be doing various things, picnic, children playing, its like America's backyard. Now my husband said, there are fences, gate, structures surrrrroounding some monuments with access denied. It's sad that these things have happened-- I only hope and pray that things change, and people can get along better, using their thoughts and not fists to work at issues. If they have to fight, how about a boxing ring where leaders or generals duke it out? Ah, but Mamma does have her fantasies..
There goes one of the parrots... the little one is named Dr.Who after the Britich sci fi series, he's yelling "I'm Dr. Who !" to the world-- usually for attention. He has learned how to make a kissing sound, and if he sees a man and lady hugging or holding haands, ,he makes the kissing noise like a naughty little sister or brother. Well, some errands today. AT LEAST I CAN OPEN A SODA BOTTLE MYSELF!
During the frustration, and trying to resolve some grief, I talked with my friend who does some work at fashion shows. She suggested maybe a big change and new haircut. My hair is short, looks like someone put a bowl on my head, and its was just straight with bangs. I took the challenge (walked out the first time), and now it is ultra short, and spikey (little spikes) It feels very cool, and if I get too hot, I can pour water over my head, and its dry in 3 minutes. Things are moving , slowly. I'm puttig up a new avatar because it's a first attempt at computer graphic. I had a small pencil sketch, guess I'll see how this turns out.

Balinese, I wish you sunshine days and many new beautiful places to see, Milkycat I wish happytimes with your kitties, and a bouquet of smiles and good times, Ozy J-- I send you laughter and wish happy new discoveries, Wolfy-- I hope there are bushels of colours and art in your life, as well as friends. And KamiyaUsagi== dance hard and fast with your pencil-- keep writing. (Silver Falcon, I love your story--, ,and Thrush Battersea-- hello Crunch, from Huggles) Nekos--- just gotta love them, so graceful, so resourceful ! Well,off I go , spikey hair, brace and all. Time for cool jazz to help with chores.
