Having To Dial It Back --- UGH

I'm a little frustrated today. I'm realizing I can't draw every day. (Imagine extreme sad face 😞) Due to the damage to my muscles and tendons I am finding I need to give the muscles in my arms at least a day off -- maybe more. 

Drawing relaxes me. When I can't do something or go someplace I can draw. It gives me joy and I find pleasure in just putting pencil to paper. But, I am finding after drawing for just a little while, my shoulder, bicep and elbow is not just fatigued but screaming at me to stop. 

Soooo I need to take at least a day to let my body recover from the task of sketching.  lol Sounds pretty extreme I know, I mean how taxing is drawing? Right? Apparently right now for me it's too taxing. 

So beginning this week I am putting myself on a strict schedule. I'll sketch one day and rest the next. We'll see if there is any improvement in my pain levels.  

So I've dusted off the couch, added plenty of pillows, and stocked up of Iced Tea. It looks like I will be catching up on my reading and netflix.

On another note here is another sneak peek.

Free Printable Sample Page

I have had a few requests for some sample pages from my Coloring Therapy 1 Notebook/Journal. Good idea I thought, but a definite disconnect between the idea and the practical application. It has taken me a little bit to figure out how to go about it. Still not sure I'm doing it correctly. If this does not work if you leave me your email addy on the right bar I will be sure to email it to you.

Please enjoy this FREE sample page from my new coloring book on Amazon!! Coloring Therapy 1 a Notebook/Journal.

Please be sure to share when you finished coloring my page. I'd love to see it.

Sneak Peek

Sneak Peak of a Coloring Book coming soon

Or how I spent my rainy weekend.  John was out of town Saturday. He left at 5 a.m. and returned at 6:30 p.m. This gave me plenty of time to “play”. 

My next coloring book is coming along slowly but nicely.  I find my hand cramps quickly now and it’s quite shaky if I’m fatigued but, if I take breaks often I’m able to draw.  So I diffused, made myself a warm comfort drink and sat down to put on paper what I’ve been carrying around in my head. Of course it’s not exactly what’s in my head but I’m happy enough with what I was able to get on paper. I'm finding I need to be flexible. What used to work no longer does. Fibromyalgia = adapting, adjusting, coping. How did you spend the weekend?

    

I’m working of putting up some freebies for you to enjoy. Look for it soon.  If I forget (brain fog) please feel free to remind me. I'd love to hear from you.
