A week of breakdowns

5 03 2008

Last week was like the black hole of productivity for me. Let’s see…

  1. Our plumbing conked out, which meant we had to get our pipes replaced by way of a now huge hole in our guest bedroom where the ceiling used to be.
  2. We discovered the starter on our car died after we came out of the grocery store with arms full of groceries.
  3. My internet connection has been refusing to cooperate (fingers crossed for this post.)
  4. I have what I *hope* is not turning into bronchitis!

Still I did manage to eek out this painting, which brings to mind the lovingly tended gardens of Tuscany. Ah, la dolce vita. Life is, after all, on the whole very sweet.

Jennifer,

Canned heat had a great cure for all that stuff.
take a mouthful of sugar. drink a bottle of turpentine.
If that doesn’t work. Drink dirty water and sleep in a hollow log.
It does not appear that it has effected your painting.

Bleeding: Love your handle. Thanks for your compliment! Your blog has transported me. I’ve not been to Sicily yet, but now it is on the list!

Rick: How about killing two stones with one bird and drinking dirty turpentine? My head might fall off, but at least that would eliminate the head cold.

Thanks for your comments. (Sorry, no external links in the comment area.)
