It's Been Three Weeks

 

While staying off ALL devices, I watched Bob and Beau sleep, while I went through Zen Color and device withdrawal symptoms. I took photos of Misty and Mister, my ducks that visit 2 or 3 times a week, at  8 am for eating grass seeds, and dunking in the oasis, then fly a way.

 they quack at the door and eat and run. I feed Tommie T the Turtle that lives in the pool, 
 her turtle food is delivered by Wal-mart with our groceries. I took its photo, just in case you need red ear slider food I am absolutely bored out of my mind, memory is going, going gone, its not that I don't have plenty to do, its that I  can't do the things I want to do... I am never caught up with THINGS to do, I just need to do device take me away, and I can't. I still have to type one finger and stay away from devices with keyboards. 
The door latch on the sliding glass door broke in half, I burst into tears. When I finished the pity party, I went online, found what looked like it would work, drove to Home Depot, backed up in the aisle into a basket behind me and fell into the display walls, nor harm Physically. 
I came home and Bob and I yelled at each other while I installed it, I did get it in and it was easier that I thought, the tears were a waste. Bob was telling me how to do it and I was following the directions that came with it by looking at photos. Nothing new, we have never done anything together that did not require yelling.



I broke down in the middle of week three of not touching devices and used AI to make above kittens out of a previously colored Zen color pic.


I spent 15 minutes a day color these beautiful cats with left hand and stylus


and both of these AI only took 2 minutes, with only 5 or 6 taps trying the new Chatgpt that came in email... Above is son Dan's Chloe the mastive and Bandit the cat and below my beloved Beau, I took him for his annual all by myself and did not fall down.
( I fell again in the backyard, caught my foot in a long pieces of grass, crashed like a tree, could not get up, it took me 15 minutes to think of scooting on my bottom to the side of the pool, put my feet on the steps and jack myself up with the handrail)
thus goes the boring life of the Truly MADsnapper

PS, I did manage to draw an Copy Cat from 2 of Ann's drawings, it took 3 days of 15 minutes at a time... I miss you all

Copy Cat Copy Cat

 


Ann of SnapEditScrap draws a sketch a day, I copy what I see in my mind.
These are from weeks ago.

I added an old pic of bob and Beau, to a photo I took while walking Beau and asked the question why did Ann's Chickens cross the street? 😂😂😂😂

All of these but the last one were drawn while sitting at the bedside in hospital/rehab home over 26 days. I have no energy to find all the things I copied but wanted to post them.
I will be  posting erratically and visiting the same way. I NEED to blog. 
The reason is,
I never have "nothing" to do!
No, this is not bad English.
What this means is, there is never a moment and for the past 5 months, since Bob stopped walking, that I have nothing to do, as in Every moment of every day has so much to do a lot of it doesn't get done.
I am going to force myself to stop and post a blog.
Bob is worse not better, but I will not be reporting that. I do not believe he will ever get better but will get worse. 
We do have appt with Neurologist Tomorrow at 11:20.








Since Bob came home 30 days ago, I have been unable to draw. This week Ann posted this and I was able to sit and paint on iPad. 

What Ann drew, and what I saw, drawn this week for the first time in 30 days
