One of the most recent collabs I've had the pleasure of doing! This was done for @aradiacollective 's (free) summer zine last year, appropriately titled "Summer in Aradia!"
The characters come from "XII: Of Magic & Muses" (and its sequel, "Of Rogues & Remnants") by @batichi , who also drew the entire thing. I simply colored the whole dang thing! :blobfoxartist:
Summer said that if I had the time, she would love to take a field trip. She has been pretty patient with all the medical ups and downs around here lately, so I agree she deserves a change of scenery.
My husband didn't feel up to walking in the cold wind, so we bundled him up in his recliner with a blanket, hot chocolate, day old banana chocolate chip muffins and a movie and we headed to the beach with a promise to be back soon.
We had the place to ourselves, and Summer was in heaven. She started out playing and hiding in the long grass. Well, sort of hiding.
We had a blast, and both got some much needed exercise. #Summer#DogsOfMastodon
So happy that "Watching The Sun Set" earned second place in the 5/21 Fine Art America juried contest "Cardinals - Photos or Traditional Art Only" held by the Cardinals Group. Many thanks to contest administrator, Debbie Youll, and to the jurors. Congratulations to the other winners!
I am sitting here telling Summer the newest chapter in my health care saga.
My daughter felt strongly that I should get a second opinion on my thyroid diagnosis. So yesterday, I did the fasting blood tests again and gathered up my imaging results and sought out a more informed opinion from a doctor who knows me and my medical history.
This morning, that appointment happened.
It turns out that the doctor who decided that my thyroid was atrophied and put me on medication was wrong.
I am in excellent health for my age. My thyroid is small but just small normal. Because I took medicine she prescribed, I am grossly over medicated.
I was actually fine all along.
Summer offered a third opinion. She thinks I should file an official complaint.
I think Summer is right.
The silver lining is that I lost 18 pounds while I was going through this strange health odyssey. #Summer
