The months of February and March, have been a mix big mix of emotions, and this is why its been a few weeks since I posted last. Not only has the weather been some strange, and I think we have so far had every weather condition thinkable all in one. First it snowed, and it looked and felt like winter, then it has gone back and forth every day, then one day we had bitter cold winds (-9c) and the chill just went right down to the bones... But that same evening, we ended up with severe thunderstorms and hail and now today its sunny and it will be +16c and they are calling for sunny and +23c for tomorrow.
So besides from a unpredictable weather conditions, I have spent a lot of time home with my daughter who has been sick a lot. And if we have not been home it has been us going to different doctors appointments, and we are still trying to figure out what is going with her. As most of you know, my daughter has severe autism and even though she can talk a bit, she cant tell us everything about how she really feels. She can tell us that she feels sick and that her head hurts, but other than that its other clues that we have to go by. She rather stay down in bed and lay down on the sofa, she doesn't eat normally most days (and she loves food) and shes not able to go out or to school (and she also loves school).
So I haven't been able to do too much when it comes to art, even Lindsay doesn't draw like she always does (I love watching her drawing), and the few times that I have been able to sketch a bit, it has been while we sit in a waiting room and while Lindsay layed down. In my note book I sketched something I thought of in between jotting down medication charts and some personal journaling, not sure why a seed pod came to mind, but I like how it turned out and I think I'm going to work on it later and use it for a design (maybe try out fabric printing).
Then when we were in the ER for over 10 hours and Lindsay was sleeping, I sketched a bit of the things around her room we had finally been given after sitting 5 hours in the main waiting room (sandwiched between screaming and couching kids and stressed out parents, ugh)... Then I started to think about summer and fresh air (anything but hospital air), so I drew a picture of the action on the beach. I think I have all these different topics just pop up in my head due to lack of sleep.
Not all has been about sickness and appointments, there has been good days in between. But one of those low days and when we came home late, I checked the letter box and there was a letter from PAMO and what a wonderful letter it was. Totally made my day!!! Lindsay went back to bed, I brewed my self a big pot of tea and sat down to read what Pamo had sent me. She had created a fantastic Zine and its hilarious, she has a great imagination and the whole story is brilliant.

Pamos website here Thank you Pamo, thank you so much. I totally love it and you sure made my day, hugs!!!!
And like I said before, we have good days in between and today is good for Lindsay, she is again head ache free and she ate some breakfast. We are now going out to the back yard and sit on the deck and enjoy the warm weather and watch the last bits of the snow melt away.
I think its safe to say, spring is here and its the weekend, so in between catching up to work that has to get down in the house (we are doing some repairs and soon getting some renovations done), we are just going to take it easy. Yep, watch winter melt away!!!
