Having a better day.  The weekend went well and I am still doing well today.  My abdominal area seems to have settled down.   More brain changes have occured.  My eyes are not focusing together; this has happen before about a year go and then they kinda matchup in focusing a few months later.  The eyes not focusing together makes seeing fuzzy and jittery.  I can find  a focal point espically when i try to draw.  My brain cannot figure out where to set the pencil about the paper and connect what i see to where the objects should go in a perspective.    My depth perception is shallow and that comes out in my art work.  It appears my left eye is the one causing the focusing problems; its depth perception is shallower than my right eye.  Several times a day I will be going to do something and I go to the wrong room; i realize this when i get to the wrong room and have to redirect myself to the room I intended to go to.  Tiring out quickly is also an issue. I tire out long before I am ready to quit.  But with less to no pain I did not tire out in tai chi this morn.  I spent some time signing some art this morning and that did tired me out. This past weekend We went to one of my favorite parks and I sketched while there.  I tried to sketch the log cabin but my mind could not figure out how to draw it.  It is a basic box shape  with a lean-on porch and an high wood shingled roof; but i could not figure out the angles. I did manage a nice sketch of a pile of flat bottom rental fishing boats on the bank beside the small lake. While I was sketching the pile of boats one or two were carried off by soon to be fishermen.  I had the jest of the outlines so it was not big deal.  I can draw with or with out an object and it will look fuzzy either way, grins.   My sis called and told me she loved the paintings I mailed to her.  She loved the flowers but wondered what they were.  I said they could be called mums. Take care my dear friends.

Your eye issues sound so very frustrating. I only have focusing issues when I watch television. It is hard to imagine how you cope. But you do, and wonderfully, especially where your art is concerned. I admire you and your tenacity when it comes to your painting. Keep it up - you are an inspiration.
