I have committed to posting 31 times in the month of May. The Thrills and Spills that we will share... Follow the yeller brick road...

Tomorrow is my yearly physical. Because I am psychotic, I'm always terrified that the doctors are going to decide THIS is the time that they keep me... (I have many irrational fears. MANY...) Therefore, I will be spending today working on art (aside from the birthday party that I'm going to for my grandson's half-brother... Families are complex but provide unlimited opportunities for entertainment and intrigue!) Hopefully, this will bring my blood pressure down enough that the medical peeps think I'm "normal enough" to hang with the humans!
It's funny to me that I often force myself to do these "one-a-day" challenges (I've done "freewriting," and two NEOCITIES months, and numerous HIVE versions...), because they usually devolve into chaos and anxiety. However, the drawing that I did above (in PAINT) would not have come into being if this challenge hadn't been self-imposed upon me (by a REAL JERK, I might add...) The drawing is super-simple, but I like it. The colors and the semi-abstractness... Yeah. That's fun stuff for me...
Still have my AUTHOR FESTIVAL coming up in a couple weeks (at the Longview Public Library here in the Pacific Northwest), AND I just found out that there is a TEZOS CON coming up in SEATTLE at the end of JUNE! That's close enough that Mariah and I can take the train or drive up to catch the dang thing! (Apparently, there was also one last year in Seattle, but I was out of the loop and missed it! Silly me...)
