Doodles.
Once I was able to finally get the right medicines, inhalers & pain relievers, I was able to get some rest, but for those in-between times when I wasn't sleeping, say between midnight-2am, 11pm and 1pm and sometimes at 6pm, I would feel good and then I would doodle.
I have been on the couch for almost three weeks and next to me I had my journal, a pencil, a pen and an eraser so that if I felt like sitting up, I would and I'd doodle.
sometimes I would just pencil in something and close up the book. Sometimes I would add a little ink over the pencil lines
and sometimes I would not open the book at all.
After getting the right doses of the right things and felt like I wanted to lift my head from the pillow, I'd grab the pen and color away...
and I kept going
till I hit a bump in my road and then I'd lay down.
Now, I took all of these photos this morning BEFORE I started taking my first of 6 days of Steroids
:and now I am back on the couch because after I took the steroids, I put ear plugs in my ears and started doodling again, and whoops...my world turned to the left, and then to the right and whelp, I am on a merry-go-round of dizzy, so I am going to close it up and sit down.
and note to self: if I grow a mustache and big muscles, you'll know why.
Your pages are beautiful! Here's to no mustache and muscles. . . ;-} (I hope you feel better soon.)

OH MY GOOSHNESS!!! If this is what happens when one is sick... Sign me up quick... hehe. Stephanie... Take extra special care... That's some strong medication but hopefully gives you back your strength and health quick smart.
ps: I so want to learn how to doodle like that - and practice, practice and practice... It looks so amazing and I'd love to add that to my stitching and quilting projects. xoxo
