I Like Thursday # 360 a short list

 

a close up of the painting
For this week's list of likes.... I started with my only painting this week. I wanted to learn to sketch birds by creativecove, and decided to sketch them on top of a painting of flowers like lisianthus. 

When dh and I were courting, he lived in MA and I lived in Fl... he regularly sent me flowers, lisianthus because I fell in love with them up north. 

I tried two birds, and on my own tried a praying mantis and a hummer, 

I'll include in this week's post, a vascular surgeon, an MRI to rule out bone infection, and a podiatrist who all saw me on short notice, fitting me in. Thank you for prayers. I am only a little closer to healing now that each one has done their best but if you have a prayer left in you, I need God's healing to avoid surgery still.... another week then another visit and reevaluation to come, and another week on two antibiotics at once.... my poor stomach. 

dh and I missed our anniversary with all the struggles, now married 29 years. and my extreme crankiness is temporary hon.... and my husband takes his marriage vows seriously.... in sickness and in health....

anyway, I try to distract myself from worry with TV 

Netflix Grace and Frankie, Outlander, Firefly lane, and silly summer show on peacock Love Island

I'm also loving the new version of Real housewives of NY fun people, on Bravo. 

Books on audio and ebooks 

looking at my pretty boy Milo

I look good right? I like my new haircut, thank you pawrents especially Mama who sees me as one of her art projects, BOL!

my outside toy box is now full of not-poodle-approved toys 

I've been left home alone 4 times this week.... I smell something is going on with Mama but I can't seem to help her....

here she is feeding me on the back patio... my preferred way of dining. That white thing on my ear is a sun spot on the camera, I look paw-fect

I do like to lie on the big bed with her when she needs to have a rest, she's not sleeping well which wakes me up but I go back to sleep.

please visit these people to see their lists of likes for the week

Hope you can find a solution to your health issues! I often diagnose myself on Dr. Google, which my doctor tells me is not a good thing. ;)
Sending you prayers and good thoughts . . .

So frustrating to not be getting to the bottom and this is turning into a journey. I'm thinking about you and wishing you all the strength you will need to see you through...so happy you have two faithful companions by your side.

Helen said...

I'm going to be painting some little songbirds today. I may need to look at yours for a guide!

Thinking of you, LeeAnna, and hoping you find some answers and relief. Happy Annuversary to you and Drew! Sometimes it's "in health" and sometimes it's "in sickness," Mike and I know about that. Milo, you look fabulous! Take good care of Mama.

Cloudia said...

I hope you and Milo both feel wonderful very soon. You certainly are in my prayers. God bless you Aloha

Oh, Milo, you must be so worried. Mama hasn't left you in alone in years. But your haircut makes you the handsomest poodle on the block. Happy Anniversary, LeeAnna and Drew. That's some dedication from Drew, finding Lisianthus isn't easy. Hoping the antibiotics do their thing and bring you some relief.

Happy Anniversary you are so very fortunate to have two such loving, doting males in your life. Love your painting. I took a cute pic of a hummingbird today. I will e mail it to you.

I've been thinking of you all week. I'm glad Milo and Drew are taking good care of you, and the 29th anniversary hardly counts 🤫 next year is the big one! I'm happy you're accepting prayers, cuz I'm sending them up every day. And, while our politics don't agree, your art gives me great joy and your little doodles are often my wallpaper. Take the best care of yourself and blog when you feel like it, Thursdays or not. Love, Annie

I’m offering up prayers and healing thoughts, as are all your friends! The birds are wonderful on the pink flowers! I don’t know anything about lisianthus, but I’m going to look it up! Wish I had a solution for the upset tummy! Makes taking medication difficult! Feel better!

Rosemary Dickinson said...

Happy Anniversary! I hope you feel better soon. I'm sure Milo is snuggling with you and helping you to feel better!

nestki said...

What a beautiful piece of art with double the beauty. I love the way you combine media. It's a great idea to take something you've already created and create something else with it. I'm so sorry about the antibiotics and tummy ache, pain and all, but on the other hand I am encouraged that you are getting some treatment and some decent attention from specialists now. The ball is rolling! I'm praying for results and this ordeal to be over in the best possible way.

piecefulwendy said...

Thank you for updating us on your health, LeeAnna. I will be praying for you! Your painting is lovely!

Annie said...

I’m sure your gorgeous Milo helps you feel better. Let’s hope the Drs find a way to help you very soon.
Hugs,

I love the birds on the flowers and the story of your courting. He's a keeper...and I am sure very concerned to get you some help as is Milo. Prayers continue for you, my friend.
