My official once-a-month, I'm-still-making-no-art update

So yeah. 

Every time I think I'm about there, my hands laugh at me. 

Which is a little creepy. 

I think exercises and therapy have been helping...of course I screwed everything up last weekend because I HAD to clean my apartment and change out some water in my fish tank and my hands did not like that at all. 

Also, I'm on a few week hiatus from therapy because at $25 copay per session, twice a week...that's like $200/month.  And with kitty vet bills and Verizon screwing me over again, I ran out of money. 

But still doing my exercises. 

I've gotten to do a few brief drawing sessions. 

When I say brief, I mean 5 minutes. 

A couple weeks ago, my OT assigned 5 minutes at a time every hour and a half or so, which proved to be  a little too much.  So I took a break and tried again last week, doing two per day. 

Then i spent the weekend ruining all my progress, so I've been waiting until my hands were feeling better, but may give it a shot today.  We'll see. 

I seem to be in a holding pattering regarding RSI on the left side, which means I have to dawdle at work to keep from pushing beyond mild irritation into not having any working hands left. 

I fluctuate between determined focus and deep depression. *sigh* 

ANYWAY, here are a few 5-minute sketches (woo-frickin-hoo) that I have done. It's almost like making art only not really at all. 

various soggy cat doodles -- five minutes (or so...I pushed it a little too far on these) each. 

Batman - 2 five minute sessions -- 10 total. 

Until next time, kids.  

Maybe I'll be able to draw again some day.
