Hi people,  I am finally back from the dead, having had a bout of pneumonia & pleurisy, cat scans and a sick mother.  But all is looking up now.  My mother (90 years old) had a 104 degree temperature and was rushed to emergency.  Heart fluctuations and a terrible urinary tract infection almost had her in a coma.  But as of today, she has turned the corner and is so much better.  We all thought she was going to die for sure.  And having Alzheimer's only made it that much more confusing for her. 

I had the dreaded pneumonia and it hung on for a very long time, with pleurisy complicating my recovery.  The Cat scan also showed I had early emphysema as well.  So now I must quit my cigarettes.  Boo hoo  I know my daughter will be happy to see me not smoke anymore. 

But today was a fabulous day, full of unexpected joys - such as selling 6 paintings!!!!!!!!!!!So thrilled.  It certainly helps to have connections in this business.  I have a huge inventory of works, dating back to 1981 and when I invite people up to my loft for a tour/show event, I usually get results.  But today was over the top and I am over the moon. 

So now I am richer than I was this morning so that can't be bad.  Let's see what tomorrow brings!!

More later
