On the personal front, you probably don’t know my back, neck and right arm (and I am a rightie) have been in incredible pain often for months now. Susan has been great about massage, but the pain has been entrenched. It seems related to the shingles I had last year … the pain come back to haunt me! My doctor and I decided that I would try going to a gentle chiropractor (I have been before). He likes to work every day if possible .. that, obviously, takes a lot of time … partly why I am behind on commenting.

The other thing – that is great! – is that I am working on a design for hire for someone that saw and loved my work on my site. This sort of design work (for using on textiles, paper merchandise and such) is something I have wanted to pursue. So I am working on a relatively short deadline to see if what I come up with is wanted. I haven’t done much of the design work for a couple of years .. so it is fun getting back in the groove. I think I have now found my groove … whew!! I always worry. Clearly, I have to put that kind of potential business at the top of the list. But I will get back to you, and in the meantime, thanks for sticking with me!
