Koi pond plus a buñuelo plus a green heron plus text: February15th to the 19th 2025
My birthday to 2nd day on the job

15th Happy birthday to me! Keri and I spent the day looking at places for my brother to do his next phase of recovery.

The first place had a grand piano, an ice cream bar, a koi pond, and a full calendar of activities. The next place smelled like someone used knock-off Yankee candles to hide-a far worse smell.

Keri made the day sweet with coffee breaks and dinner out
at Luna’s. I ate far too much.

16th I had my first exercise in a week- a chill 3 miles at Vasona park. Had a good conversation about "luck" being the confluence of opportunity and willingness. I’m having to unlearn my conditioning to refuse help and say no. I’ve managed to visit Mike every day - sometimes twice.

He's now progressed to wearing clothes instead of a gown.

I feel more optimistic as little by little he seems like his old self.

17th More looking at places for Mike but also we hired house keepers to give Mike’s house a deep cleaning. Everything scrubbed and dusted – shining floors and porcelain. Nine hours!

One of the places we visited had a "respite" program that is per diem and includes everything. Small place with a view of the green foothills. I think we found it! I felt I could breathe.

Text: But that was short lived. I saw a text that Mike’ s appointment with the orthopedic surgeon was the next day- also my first day at work.

I called a million different numbers to reschedule but it was after hours on a holiday.

18th I got in touch with the social worker and moved the appointment. In my first meeting with my new boss, I explained my current reality. I have a ton of PTSD from ex emplover's mishandling communication being complete assholes when I had some horrible life events (including my brother's suicide). My new boss was refreshingly kind. I’ll take it. The company sent a Windows laptop. I spent the morning making it work with my peripherals and the afternoon in compliance training.

19th I needed to go to the bank to make them aware of my Power of Attorney status - they said they had a "different" process and even though I had a notirized POA in my hand, their process could take 5 days.

But what about paying his bills?

The banker said those checks would probably bounce. Moral of the story? Don’t bank at Chase.

Not too many drawings this time. I hope to get through this and be daily again but I’m tired and being another person's advocate etc plus starting a job…well…it’s a lot.

More soon.

Sometimes simple is best. A quick face sketch on a ripped piece of packaging paper, that I have stuck in my journal.

Open art journal. The left side shows a loose sketch of a woman's face. It is drawn on a ripped piece of packaging paper, which has been glued into the journal. Across the page there is some handwritten text with paint splatters in blue.

I haven't drawn for ages. But yesterday was so lovely: we museum animators made lots of mistakes (spring?), swore and giggled like schoolchildren, cracked silly jokes, and enjoyed the sun and the visitors. Someone showed me a crocheted frog and in the evening, I had to put my mood on paper.
Of course, we were shocked by politics but we shared stories about the heros who resist and talked about more creative ideas.

A big, cartoon-like friendly frog with big eyes and a smile sit's on swimming leaves. In the background tulips in front of a sunny yellow sky. Sky and water has doodle structures. Page of a cheap art journal, drawing made with the cheapest felt-tip pens for children.

6 days into #the100dayproject and I’m really enjoying my little happy place sketchbook.

In past projects the pressure of sharing every day helped to keep me going, but this year’s simple intention to create a moment of happiness in my day, has been enough. This feels like some profound realization, even though it’s so obvious.

Anyways, here’s a little phoenix, because I needed a reminder today that setbacks are okay and I can always keep coming back.

Sketchbook open on a small wooden tray that serves to hold brushes, pens, paints and water in place, while keeping everything on my lap.

The sketchbook is open on a page with a simple, but dynamic watercolor sketch of a phoenix. The colors are warm and bright, the shapes simple, with lots of flow. Next to the phoenix it says “I WILL RISE” in red letters.

I've been dutifully adding layers into my art journal today, and feeling like it's so hard to judge how my art is progressing because of the million different directions it feels like it's going.

I'm choosing to trust the chaotic process and seeing where it leads me.

#ArtJournal #AbstractArt @artshare

A layered swirly abstract with a pink, green and white base with a black swirl covered by lavender paint with white swirls over top. A lot of circular movement in this piece.

Valentine’s card plus a latte plus a hummingbird next plus a pizza and soda plus text: February 14th, 2025 V-Day

I was up early -partly because I'm having a hard time sleeping peacefully and part there is a lot to do.

I had to make calls to visit places for next phase care

I did find time to make Keri a card.

Also time for a latte before mikes PT.

And time to notice the humming bird nesting peacefully and safely under the eaves.

"A" met me at Mike’s house and we automated the lights and thermostat, cleaned closets, and discussed other ideas to make the house safer.

Keri gave me a cute and silly Valentine’s card and we went to visit Mike to send him off to sleep.

We had aspirations of something posh, but relaxing at the Garret with a pizza was perfect. More memorable than many outings. It's a love holiday. I felt really loved.

Key ring plus Mike getting his PT plus text: February 13th, 2025

Stress can make simple things into complicated nightmares. Like holding onto a set of keys.

Yes, the keyring with all the keys to my brother’s house went missing. Despite assurances from my loved ones that they would turn up I called a lock smith to let me in.

I couldn’t find another key inside so I replaced the lock. It was a reasonable thing considering the circumstances.

Later, the keyring was discovered in my bathroom wedged between the toilet seat and the tank.

In other news I sat in on Mike’s pt. Mike is very
resilient and tough. I see now how hard the PT/OT people have it because most of the clientele can barely move and seem very far away mentally. I won’t be there next week to cheerlead and help.

I see the tired, polite expressions of the staff.
energy goes where energy flows. You must show up.

Working on improving faces and hair, some areas that could always use brushing up on. I really wanted to focus on trying to simplify as much as possible while retaining recognizability, to which I felt relatively successful, though I do wish that this paper played better with my watercolors

The line art of three feminine faces are arranged on the page. A very simple pinup figure appears in the bottom right

I often won't use a #sketchbook until I've ensouled it by giving its cover a personality. I've had this one for over 7 years and had barely touched it, so I spent a couple of hours the other day meticulously gluing and embossing these scrapbook cutouts I've had laying around for gods know how long. I feel like this one is finally ready to be fully delved in to

Daffodil plus text: February 12th, 2025

I’m reminded again and again that one of the most powerful remedies against gazing at the horrors of the world is to focus on what is real right now.

Mike’s future is still unwritten.

But so many people are good at what they do and are being helpful to him and to me.

I’m doing things like cleaning Mike's room and doing his laundry. I show
up and cheerlead him through PT/OT and make him promise to do his part. Keri visits him and supports me. Val is getting benefits sorted.

"A" does a little of everything.

I’ve forgotten to eat more than once this week. I forgot to drink water yesterday but self-maintenance is critical. After mom passed away my gallbladder rebelled and needed removal. I got a kidney stone too!

It all matters. We need more ability to see our small worlds - not just our crisis but potently our joy and good fortune. Even when life brings waves of difficulty, we have each other.

If you ever feel like your #pathfinder game needs to be a bit more #cursed consider introducing a migrus to your most chaotic player. They're the absolute worst!

#art #traditionalart #watercolor #artjournal #illustration #oc #forevergm

Various (unfortunately) inked drawings appear on the page depicting a sphinx cat with the head of a human (the berries and cream little lad) in different poses in a semi realistic style. One drawing depicts the same creature dancing alongside an elf with the same face in the style of adventure time

Realized I forgot to post a few weeks. Going to skip last week (the prompt was landscapes, I attempted gouache, it was HORRIBLE) - this is week 4 & 3 (prompt: a flower, and an object floating).

Both are done with carbon ink + winsor & newton watercolour travel paints.
