Copy Cat Copy Cat and Update

 
 Ann at SnapEditScrap sketches, I do the copy cat in my style. Ann drew the happy girl I drew this


I got carried away and drew the one below signed Nevermind and Ann drew these faces


 I drew these and am ashamed so I did this just for fun, from something I sound somewhere else

 I don't know where I saw this, but I saved it and did this. Just Because I could.
then she posted these two yesterday 

UPDATE ON THE THREE OF US.
Beau is on antibiotics, and antacids, and is back to normal. Bob is having a reaction to I THINK Allegra, and my new Lexapro has calmed me, but now I do nothing, not even blogging. But I do DRAW and Sleep, nap and nights, and have not cried a single time in an entire week, no anger fits, or stomping things I drop on the floor.
Slight nausea and some ringing of ears at night. I will see the doctor again on Feb 23
WE ARE EXPECTING HARD FREEZE TOMORROW, IF I POST AND DON'T READ YOURS TOMORROW ITS BECAUSE THE PIPES BURST. FIRST TIME IN MY 41 YEARS HERE THAT WE HAD A HARD FREEZE WARNING.
fingers crossed it is not going to happen...

I think it's wonderful that you have this procreate that brings you so much joy. And we enjoy seeing all the things you do with this program. Glad Beau is better...bless his, he has really had a time with his issues. Thank you got some meds to help you Sandra. I have taken this med for several years and now I only take 1/4 of a pill. It has really helped me and I hope it will do the same for you. Prayers that NO pipes have frozen...We are very cold around here as well... Our heat stopped working late yesterday evening, but it finally came back on last night...We will have to have it checked out Monday...Take care my sweet friend.

I'm glad you're feeling calmer and Beau is better. I hope Bob's reaction is not too extreme and he soon adapts.
Fingers crossed that your big freeze is not catastrophic.

Good to see you're keeping up your drawing. Hope your pipes won't freeze and that you, Bob and Beau can all get your medication right! 💕

Mari said...

I love all your drawings and am glad you're still doing them. It's a good thing to bring you joy.
I've so thankful Beau is doing better and that you are feeling better too. It takes a little time to adjust to that medication.
I sure hope there was no hard freeze!

I always enjoy your fun art! Dang, I sure hope your pipes don't freeze and I hope the ones in the house will be okay too LOL! Thanks so much for the updates. Big hugs from all of us.

Hello Sandra
Sounds like a good news update, I am glad your and Beau are doing better. I guess Bob needs to stop taking the Allegra.
I enjoyed all your copy cats, faces to me are hard to draw. My favorite are the happy girl, the dogs and the fish. Stay warm, It is super cold here. It was only 3 or 4 ° this morning. I feel like I am living in the Arctic lately. Have a great weekend.

I'm soooo happy to see you here, and realize the three of you are okay! "Miss Catastrophizing" here was growing concerned. It's 29* and snowing in Coosada. Love you, but I'm just not feeling strong enough to drive to Bradenton this morning (lol).
Love your drawings!

PS - Our meteorologist says we don't need to drip faucets unless temps stay below freezing for 12 hours or more. (Nevertheless, we turned ours on last night.)

Sorry have not been around some health issues with hands and feet. Broken pipes and my heat is not the best but they are getting me a new heat figure. Reading you have not been well but now you are your old self. Yes we have thieves in Bakeries, Jewelry stores and medical places.

My Mind's Eye said...

So happy Beau is feeling better...now to get you and Bob on the same path
We always leave water faucet dripping during the night when we have hard freeze warming...
Hugs cecilia

Glad the meds are working and that Beau is doing well. I hope and pray that you continue to improve. I hope the weather reports are wrong and you don't get that hard freeze. We are used to it here and prepared for it. I feel sorry for my Southern friends. xo Diana

NanaDiana said...

PS-Love all your drawings. You do great work!!!!

Sparky said...

Your sketches are so cute! You really are talented. I like them all but especially the doggies.
I'm so happy the med's are working. I pray that y'all will keep getting better.
It's supposed to feel like 8* tomorrow!!! Sunday School was cancelled but, so far, there will be Church. Y'all stay warm and safe. 🥶
Love from the frozen "North". lol 💓

I enjoy seeing all your art and I'm glad it helps you relax. It's good to hear your new meds are helping. The side effects might subside after a while. I think a few others have mentioned but I want to emphasize to keep a trickle of water going in your faucets during the freeze. I hope you all are okay after this cold spell.

Where I work, when it gets really cold, we are told to run a pencil thin stream from all the taps on the outside walls, and also to flush the toilets every hour or so...
Glad to hear that Beau is feeling better. Sorry that allegra isn't good for Bob, maybe try Zyrtec? (Cetirizine) I hope that your medication side effects wear off, and maybe you can gradually cut back on it so that you don't feel so foggy.

Prayers for all of you!

The last thing you need is burst pipes. Fingers and toes crossed it doesn’t happen, but if it does get creative and draw it for us!

Ann said...

I love all your copy cats. It's always so fun to see with the pictures of mine that you copy.
I sure hope the pipes don't burst. Stay safe and warm. You can try letting the faucets drip. Open up cupboard doors where the pipes are so the warm inside air can help heat the pipes

CheerfulMonk said...

I'm so glad Beau is feeling better, and that you are getting desperately needed sleep. Fingers crossed about the pipes, and I agree with Ann about letting water drip to keep them from freezing. ❤️

Tigger's Mum said...

I LOVE the 'nevermind'. Really expressive. Pipes freezing in Florida?! Hell will freeze over next.

Ginny Hartzler said...

You are so good at depicting different emotions on faces. Maybe because you have gone through so many so intensely. Well, here's some good news. Phil tells me that Burmese Pythons are not native to Florida. And a hard frost will kill them.

DeniseinVA said...

Good to know Beau is doing better. Sorry about Bob’s reaction to the meds. All your art keeps you happy and keeps us happy too. These are great. This is what I wrote to you on my blog after you commented. ‘I will be sending you lots of warm thoughts to you all, and hope your Florida pipes will be okay :) Are you leaving a slight drip all through the night? We have also been leaving our cupboard doors open to expose them to our heat in the bathrooms, all where pipes are exposed’. And this I am adding here. I nearly walked into those open cupboards so you’ve got to be careful for you and Bob’s safety and I guess Beau would be able to get inside so that’s not a good idea. I remember one year our pipes froze at the point where they came into the house. We phoned the plumber and he was too busy to come out straight away. He suggested attaching a hair dryer to a long extension cord and using it to heat those points outside. That actually worked. Good luck and sending hugs and prayers.

I like the different face expressions you put on the girl. The dogs are cute. Yes I thought the teeth were cute on the dinosaur and I liked her fish. Glad you have fun doing that. I'm glad Beau is doing well. Sorry about the issue with Bob's Allegra and I'm glad the Lexapro calmed you down but it's not good that you don't want to do anything. Glad to hear that you haven't cried. I've been crying everyday. Mark is so tired of it. Hope your weather doesn't get too bad. Take care.

I'm glad you are still drawing. Prayers for all of you, it's been a hard winter for many who simply are not used to it.

Chatty Crone said...

I think it's wonderful that you can draw and it brings you so much fun. I am glad Beau is better - he has had it rough. I am glad you got some meds - you will eventually even out and not feel so flat. Your body is adjusting. Prayers that NO pipes have frozen...our area is freezing too. Take care of yourself.
