Waiting is the worst.

It's been a while since I fractured anything. It happened at a bad time on top of a bad time.
Waiting to heal so I can walk normally again is agonizingly slow. Still, I need to let it heal so I can participate as a pallbearer next week.
Sitting at my desk doesn't help as I've no way to prop my foot up to keep it elevated at rest. So...I have gathered all my loose stacks of sketches into a mega stack. It's almost three and a half inches tall. I thought I was working through the stack, not thinking about the multiple sketch spots I like to work in, with piles of sketches at each place.
I'm going to be sorting them at some point by subject/topic . . . (Many with sketches on both sides making a new sorting problem in itself. :P ) That will be a heck of a chore in itself. With many concepts mingling with others. I am an eclectic artist to pin down on a particular subject content.
Needless to say, Once I am done with family care needs, the funeral, after funeral family care and planning for memorial services in another state...I am going to be diving into these sketches. More sketch stack polls will happen. Possibly even done as live sketch session events. (I've been bouncing ideas around my bored brainpan while I'm mostly riding from place to place to offer what little help I physically can do.)

I am not going to be able to celebrate my Bday in the manner I had hoped for. At least not on or near or in the month of my Bday. I am working to plan something with friends and family in Sept. An event to have some much needed silly fun again.
Art is my soul. Art is my reason to live, to get up everyday, to seek and experience anew enriches my soul. Being away from it hurts. The outreaching kindness and support from the communities I have here online is a salve that helps heal.

Some of you have been kind enough to donate to my ko-fi or directly into my paypal to help offset costs I already can not afford. Keeping my bank happy enough to not charge any overdraft fees for auto pay bills. I was able to buy back my wedding ring from a pawn shop again. You have all made a big difference in my soul. Thank you.
Times are tight right now too. I get that as much as anyone. Many of you have only been able to send a message of support. Those are eagerly savored at the low moments. You all keep my soul aglow. Your words mean a lot to me. More than I can properly express myself.
