The Gypsy on Adventure

When I woke up this morning WGB gave me 2 Dozen roses...I think I scared him with the vertigo!

I still havent' figured out where to put my Ikea frogs!

This afternoon we took a long walk around the neighborhood and ended up at our fav little Mexican Restaurant, so I don't know how good the walk did me...I gave myself a treat! I had a strawberry Margarita! I think it has been a good 2 years since I had one!
YUM

WGB said he was the designated "walker" snort! Silly boy!

However, with so much going on with my vertigo, I didn't have my wallet today! I couldn't find it! I scared myself...I finally found it at home after I went to class. Friday Art class...I am going to miss not going! I am enjoying this so much! Christina power teaching by herself today... LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this class!  Teaching Fonts and Font spacing. A trick is to put the first letter in and then the last letter and then you can squeeze the other letters in and it is more evenly spaced! GOOD trick! Trying to remember grammar school and how we did our letters... I tried to draw the scissors with negative space. So far I suck at this! Grin But I will embrace IMPERFECTION! Layout and Design class, Various ways to show off our subject...To tell a story...A fun class to REALLY start SEEING what you are looking at...

ZINES came in! I am SO addicted to zines! Snort If you DON'T know Alma, you don't know what you are missing! She is an inspiring multi-media artist with a huge heart! I just LOVE Alma!  almastoller.typepad.com/almastoller/

Just a great day!

Home early today. So I get to work and BAM fast as you can say, I have BLURRY Vision and I feel like I am on an acid trip from the 70s, ehem, not that I would know, ehem, but have heard! Funny things on the side of my eyes, like waves moving!

Friend looks up Dramamine! YUP Can you say SIDE EFFECT? Call your doc immediately...

I call doc wait 2 hours and call back...she says stops the meds! DUH now what the hell do I do with the BLURRY VISION AND STUPID SPINNING and wanting to THROW UP?

I have a sentence for you...Mrs. I went to medical school...YOUR FIRED! Just like Donald says!

Yup on the look for a new one!

Embarrassing I was walking sideways trying to get out of the building and one of the guys says, YOUR NOT DRIVING! I am taking you home! Well when  cop tells you that...you must listen and NOT argue!! What a day!

When I woke up (because I HAD to stop the spinning!) I decided to do my home work! Not bad for being so dizzy!

My girlfriend Mary is back in town for a few days, we had dinner tonight at Sundance Steak House! YUM and great place to share our lives!

We got all caught up and I am RELIEVED that we were able to talk, she is an RN and she made me feel a lot better! NO the things under my arms are NOT AGE SPOTS!!! They are a rash from the razor burns like I thought! AND she said most of my symptoms match the thryoid meds being off! AND the anti-depressant IS for the hot flashes! She used the same one! But I think I will pass for now since every thing is SO outta whack!

We laughed so hard...because I told her how suddenly I just felt like I was falling apart...including a scab in my nose!!! SHE has the same thing!!! dry stuff...my doc gave me some cream for it! We laughed so hard that we were both experiencing the same things!

"Getting old isn't for sissy's!" Bette Davis! FOR SURE!

It was awesome to have a wonderful meal and wine with a friend in real life that can make you laugh at yourself and comfort you at the same time...my soul is soothed!

Thanks to all of you here AND here in the flesh...the crisis has been averted! Snort! Thank you for hanging in there with me and letting me whine!

Here is part of my friend Liv's posting from yesterday! I was just telling him that I tried to walk like John Wayne, but almost fell on my ass with this vertigo! Snort!

Gypsy - you know me and my attitude. It's the same as your essentially. Spit in the eye of life. It's time to call on your inner John Wayne.  OK so I'm goin' down, but ah'm a-takin you down with me
Embrace the excuse, no, I mean the licence to let go at people who deserve it. Lots of folk confuse anger management with anger suppression and repression. Harness it: that's what "management" really means. You've kicked ass these last few years. keep doing it. To hell with "reasonable behaviour". Work out what's reasonable and then work out what kind of malice you can get away with!

Ack...after I took my photo right before I was going to go to work, it hit hard and fast! I just couldn't go in during this stuff and lucky for me I had a doctor appt today...not that I am happy with her! Grrr! Seems I have VERTIGO! No reason why, and doc doesn't know how long this will last! Grrr!

I really should not be driving either...and she didn't even ask how I got there or how I was getting home!

My friend Dee gave me the best compliment of my life! That MY eyes reminded her of Liz's! She sent me these two photos and said they SO remind her of my eyes! Ha!

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.  -- Michael Jordan

My head is still dizzy AND I am nausious...doctor tomorrow afternoon, I came home early I just couldn't take it...I finished the color on one of my homework pages, and even got brave enough to put it in the teachers group on line! Ooooo! brave!

It has been a month since Lucy's funeral...maybe that is causing my upset stomach, being all in my head...or broken heart.

Another lazy day spent by the fireplace watching Vampire shows...still watching Dark Shadows! Oooh! its getting good! So Fatty and I just spent the day on the couch! Being lazy! : D

I am completely disappointed in my first hat! Sigh...I totally followed the instructions I AM SO DAMN DISAPPOINTED...ruined my beautiful Noro yarn...so of course I was thinking of my Lucy all day, and what a moment with her would have gotten back on track and we both could have laughed until tears rolled!

Some times all it takes is a word said badly to make me SNARKY...Up from my 3 hour nap...just sad...unmotivated...overwhelmed...
Some times I think I just need to sleep things off...cut myself some slack and NOT think about things so much. Just a crappy day! All is forgiven...MOVE ON! LOL

"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." -- Robert Louis Stevenson -Most of the anxiety is gone...I hope they totally go away! I am not sure what is going on with me, really, I think it must be getting off those anxiety pills this week...I could have slept all day, I am exhausted! AND my head is flippy! Seriously dizzy!

I love my WGB Just for me begging! He is growing back his mustache...and now he is getting compliments from other women! And even the guys! Hum...maybe I should be jealous now! Giggle  Today at work I was given a Red Fleur today...just because...from Duncan! It is a beauty!

Our Teachers Gay Kraeger and Christina Lopp! are so much darn fun! They are showing us how to make shiny on our pages. Explaining layout and placement.

So we drew on see through plastic with a washable pen and then sketched it onto water color paper...teaching us how to see perspective of the size of items we draw! AMAZING! Love this class! The person in my sketch is my teacher Christina, and I asked her not to be offended!

I took a photo of one of the beautiful buildings I love in Los Gatos on the way home, and I want to sketch it out...I just love it! I get SO inspired in this class!! Homework! Draw glasses with drinks in them... Martini's, hot tea, water, like this...3 of them!

I am SO happy today...La la la dancing in the kitchen! Happy happy! Art makes me REALLY happy! I even went out into my garden and watered and cleaned up the plants! Don't you love my overalls? How cute are they! LOL You can see me holding on to the chair because my head is so dizzy...I had to pull over on the freeway coming home because of it...I hope this goes away soon! But today, it cannot take my joy away!

Today was SUCH a SPRING like day! I had Spring Fever! I SO wanted to be out and about! So WGB drove me to pick up my grandmothers digital frame and thumb drive and to Michael's for the Mermaid Angel book I have been wanting...

I got some feed back from SuziBlu, I love Suzi suggested the changes ON my own drawing to help! My chins are too long and my mouths too big...
