Not my English Springer/Clumber mix who’s supposed to be on rest for a back sprain vaulting over the 32 inch dog gate because my Dad showed up.
Why Magnus why?!

I don’t know if anyone else has this relationship with their art or if I’m just silly…
I want people to see my art and enjoy it
But…
I do not want to be perceived.

Nothing like ordering a shoe, that’s for a wide fit, but because you have a thick foot not just wide you can’t get your foot in the shoe.
Back to the drawing board-it was for glass work- gotta protect feet too! And I don’t want my tennis shoes or slippers with shards.

My dog has managed to pull his back again, but this time a different set of muscles.
Meds and rest should do the trick.
He’s a spaniel, they don’t know how to rest.

Vet appointment at 10:30 am.
My vet and his staff are awesome.
Not looking forward to the chaos of X-rays and the cost of this visit.
This could also be arthritis, the start of IVDD (all spaniels have this marker) or even a weakness left over from Blasto. Who knows! Hopefully we’ll know soon.

This year couldn’t just let me be with the dogs could it?
Beginning of the month Magnus pulled a muscle in his back- we got meds and he had crate rest.
Today out and about, he missteps, and rolls himself into the muddy sump pump water outlet.
I bathed him immediately. Cause MUD.

Welp- today I was working with a piece of glass that I guess is more prone to shards and slivers than any I’ve used before. It honestly is like the most annoying paper cut ever.
Enough to make me consider cut resistant gloves or something to that effect.

The big day job work project is officially APPROVED.
And that means it’s off my plate and I’m back to my regular work schedule.
I can sleep soundly tonight.

I miss having access to a glass grinder. It’s legit the biggest thing I miss from the local place’s courses.
Putting that on the holiday wishlist. They aren’t ridiculously expensive- I just don’t know where to put it.
(Local studio is no more sadly…)

I lucked out with my ankle. It just needs strapped up, iced regularly, and some anti-inflammatories.. oh and Rest. Yay RICE method.
I might just lose my mind with the rest part though. I do not do that well and the glass sitting waiting isn’t helping. :/

Today has not been my day.
Water heater replaced (yay hot water).
Got the glass stuff out- was having a grand ole time. Chair gave way (no loose bolts- the wood failed) and dumped me on the floor.
My left ankle (that I broke last year) and knee took the brunt of the fall.

And the water heater saga continues! They are sending someone out today to look apparently, so maybe hot water tonight or tomorrow?
Love it when things in the house break. It’s the roulette of “is it a 80-200 dollar expense or a 1000+ dollar expense??”
Both suck, but one is so much worse.

Maybe tonight when dogs are settled I can glass prep.
I at least have a plan and linework now so hopefully I’ve stepped beyond the white canvas paralysis part of getting started.

Aaaaaand the water heater has just crashed on the house. Lovely.
What I wouldn’t give to install a tankless heater or the instant geysers family has in the UK. Can’t afford that though. :D
Wheeeeeeeee! Today’s plans have been derailed.

Maybe… maybe, considering my day tomorrow is light work wise, I might get the glass stuff out and start nipping some scrap for a mosaic or something.

Started our behavior modification training with Ruby today (she is possessive of toys and only toys) and by the end of the session she was willingly offering up the toy for the trade game.
And now she is doing the “exhausted from play but fighting rest” bit.

We went back to training to be unfamiliar people and dogs for Canine Good Citizen training.
And SURPRISE! The trainer opted to use Magnus for the ‘passing an unfamiliar dog’ part of the test.
And he was absolutely perfect in class, and I am so so proud of him.

Ahahahahha my glass supplies have been found!
They were buried in a closet at the back with a whole bunch of other stuff piled in front.
Now the issue is, where in the house is a safe place where dogs won’t risk shards in paws.

The relief of a large project moving from you into the next phase is something.
I am exhausted, but other than minor revisions once it’s through proofing? It’s done.
3 weeks.
Last year it took 3 months.

Actually decided to be a “good photographer” and charged the big camera and dug out the tripod just in case round 2 of the Aurora shows up tonight.
Forecast suggests it might, and it’ll be a test of the big camera since I haven’t attempted any moon/stars/sky photography with it yet.

My neighbor text me like “hey! The Aurora is outside!” And sent me a photo, so I went out in the back yard in 26°F and froze my butt off… I could See them without the camera!!
I’m super far south so… this made my night!

I spent all night last night rendering some rocks on a ridiculously large canvas in Procreate because apparently that is what my artbrain has deemed it wants to do.
