I’m seriously under the weather still. I went to a Halloween party last night. Bad move. I was pretty miserable feeling for the whole night. I shouldn’t have gone, but I missed my friend Anne’s birthday party a few weeks ago because I was ill and I didn’t want to let her and Stuart down again. Stuart is my hubby’s best friend and he is Anne’s boyfriend. We’d do anything for him and I felt pretty bad about missing the last party, so I refused to let illness get me down. I really should’ve listened to my body. It was a great party, and there were some fantastic costumes, but boy did I feel crappy, and now I feel even worse. I really didn’t need makeup to make me look like death. I was death warmed up! My hubby kept telling everyone I was a trooper, even though I just wanted to curl up into a ball and die. The things you do for friends! I’ve added the pictures into my Photo Gallery under Friends.
I’m supposed to be finishing off my final bits and bobs for college, as I have to hand them all in this week coming. I don’t have an awful lot to do, just tidy a few things up here and there for presentation, and also finish my final paintings, but I seriously don’t think I can do anything today. We’ll see how I get on. I did a bit more work on my bitumen painting yesterday and it’s progressing nicely. It’s to be handed in on Friday, so I’ve plenty of time. Ideally, I’d like to have it completed by Monday but we shall see how I’m feeling. Here’s the progress so far:
I also brought my large painting home to mount onto card, and I think it’s finished. I may touch up a little here and there but not by much.
Hey Heather.Sorry to hear you are not well. Hope it’s not H1N1. Take care of yourself. I love the bitumen piece. Your big one! It’s changed again! It is awesome and reads really well, now. It’s like you’ve joined the pieces and parts so it flows together and on through,now. I enjoyed watching an abstract take place step by step. Thank-you.
I doubt it’s swine flu Leslie, though one of the girls I hang around with had it 2 weeks ago. I’m not particularly worried about it. Normal flu is supposed to be much worse. I think it’s probably stress related. I’ve been working at such a frantic pace for the past 8 weeks that now I’m more relaxed my body is probably reacting to it. I haven’t worked in over a year due to ill health, so it’s probably just taking its toll on me. I’ll get over it!
I’m glad you like my big piece. I’m so pleased with how it’s progressed. It’s probably the longest I’ve ever worked on a single piece. I have to work on my other pieces today, but it’s just a matter of tidying them up. I’ll try to get my bitumen painting finished in the next couple of days. I really want it to turn out well.
