Janeys Journey

Hi Mac

My PC died.  Everything in it's time I guess.  It's been on it's last circuit for about a year now.  So I've been off line for awhile this time not voluntary.  I went to Best Buy to scope out the PCs and when I told the sales guy about how I was an artist and such he said oh you need an Apple.  I said I prefer bananas (lame I know).  He showed me the IMAC and I looked under the table and all over and it's amazing.  All that stuff in the monitor - motor, memory, drive everything.  Amazing.  I've been trying to learn this thing and now I have to load up the scanner software and I just bought the Apple version of elements.  I have a ton of drawings to post.  And I'm working on a new zine. 

And I might be on jury duty Monday.  The last time I was called for jury duty I had an abscess.  Sitting in the dentist's chair moaning about not wanting to do this and how I'd need a dr's note to get out of it.  He said "I'm a doctor". So no jury duty.  Now it's time to do my civic duty and serve. 

And no more personal trainer.  I'm on my own now.  I'll probably continue to go 3x a week - MW and F.  My leg still aches if I walk too much or if I sit too much and I limp at the end of the day.  Even though there's no more swelling, I'll always have some circulation issues.  Sometimes my foot gets bluish color and I hold it up and the pink color comes back.  Joining the Y has certainly helped.  Funny isn't it that I'm in better shape after the accident then I was before.  Maybe I can't run but I can walk and I'm a very lucky person.

Home Sweet Condo

It looks smaller then it is. That's a big sofa - 90". More thrift store art on the top shelf. I took the verticals off because they were just a mess and I don't have neighbors really sincethe apt faces the golf course. Those are all Ikea metal shelves. 2 of them fit perfectly into that window frame. That's a cb2 arc lamp and the standing lamp is from Ikea as is room. Thrift store side table and garage sale pillows. No rugs in the apt since Gertie seems to think that anything vaguely rectangular and on the floor is a litter box.

 

All thrift stores except for the 2nd from the right.  That's mine.  The cabinets are Ikea PS and rocker is maybe 10 yr old wicher a friend painted for me.  I took the doors off one of the cabinets after I realized that remotes don't go through metal.   The wall behind this is the kitchen.  Front door to the left and dining room to right.  Little collection on the red tray and the Buddah's are all flea market finds.
