I’ve reinjured (aggravated old injuries?) my dominant hand to the point of restrictive braces again. I cannot be trusted to not over do it. Will they give me drugs despite clear imaging showing damage? They will not. Puritans do vex me.

This has considerably slowed painting, gardening and general chaos, but it shall not stop me!

It’s coming along slowly, but it is coming along. I can only do about 10 minutes a day, but that’s ok, it gives colors a chance to dry. Y’all have to help me come up with a clever title. 🥳

I wanted to try and paint a little, despite my hand being a burning ball of fire, which….rude, and somewhat biblical. If I start spouting commandments, we could all be in trouble.

My last painting, the seamstress chalk really changed the color of the oil paint, so I thought I’d try graphite this time. The sketch is kinda hard to see though, even when I’m 6” away. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Still, silly and fun, and I actually have a plan this time, so yay!
