almost a month

since i fell due to my broken painting chair..... dec 14/15 was when i fell
i am still having trouble
in the midst i had a few hard swollen lymph glands under my right arm  too- which now seem to have calmed down
i am doing pt exercises as per the rheumatologist suggestion
i can't paint yet
i am not a happy camper
however.....i DO have an appointment with a printer (barring unforeseen issues) on tuesday

and my new chair arrived monday jan,5...... bernie put it together the 6th
or maybe the 7th
i tried to paint but realized my arm is not ready yet

typing on the laptop kills it too
now both knees are in trouble since that fall as well.......
the right never recovered from the fall in april.....so it's really really not a happy camper

and i am almost helpless.... which i despise- i couldn't even pick up the ice pack i dropped!
i ended up in tears of frustration.  well shit yeah....it's almost a damn MONTH
and i am so not used to this
but it's obvious i am going to have to figure out how to change how i work cause i think this last fall was a warning shot over the bow.......

now the printer...... i am going to be doing ONE painting as a print edition.......
i was hoping for the corn but it maybe the wood ducks or another painting
i have to get prices and proofs etc
but the idea is to print one painting...... presold as a kickstarter.....
to fund the chair, the scanning/printing of the painting, and to find the scanning of the next painting (and depending.... i sure could use more brushes and a few new paint tubes....not to mention paper)
i figured kickstarter again as this way, if i don't get enough buyers.... no one is out money but me for the scanning and the artist proofs

and i was considering a limited run of 10-15...... i know susan suggested i have a second painting as a stretch goal...... but what i would really like to do is keep it small enough that i can pick up the prints, and go directly to the post office with them (having put their shipping stuff together prior)
so that they don't come into the house at all..... this way no contact with bird dander in the air......or cat dander in the air..
(susan pointed that out. bless her a thousand times over)

ok so maybe this enforced month off was beneficial ....... as i was so bored and upset i found the printer!
