Mood d’jure: Bummed Out

I’m so tired of physical setbacks. I broke my foot in December. Foot surgery in February. Six weeks in a wheelchair. Four weeks pushing a walker. Physical therapy. Going to the gym to build up muscle and to regain strength. Fell off my tricycle, bruised my tailbone, bruised my abdomen, major scrap on my shin for which I should have gone to the Emergency Room, and I’m regressing. I feel like curling up in a ball and sleeping for a month or so.

I noticed I’ve got some blooming cactus in the back yard, so I grabbed my camera.

We’re in a multi-year drought and we’ve lost cactus.

There was more to photograph, but I am limited on how much walking I can do, and I had reached my limit. Which is one of the reasons I’m frustrated and bummed out.

I did some fabric designing this morning.

I put nine new designs in my Spoonflower shop. You can find my designs here: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/deb_thuman
