a funny story

Okay so here goes. Sometimes it is good to laugh. Let it be clear that i am not saying that Alzheimer's or dementia are funny. It just so happened that a funny thing happened to me.
When I was about 23 i lived with my mom and grandfather. My grandfather was a gentle, quiet man, but as he got old he began to start doing some strange things around the house. He had dementia i know he was not trying to harm me, he just wasn't thinking clearly.
Our house had been built in the early 1950's, it was old. The shower in my bathroom was like a broom closet; small, dark, and fitted with a frosted glass door. As i was in there one day, my grandpa walked into the bathroom, i told him i was in the shower and to go away! but he said " i'm coming in" and he wasn't kidding, he was already in his towel. I held onto the tiny metal handle of this old door and i screamed "mom" "mom" "MOM" as loud as i ever have. Luckily she was close by and charged into the room. "DAD! what are you doing?" she said, shocked to see him there.
"I'm gettin in the shower" (obviously) he said plain as day. "Well Jenny's in there right now"
"I know I'm getting in with her!"
What!? Here I am holding this door shut, one hand on the top of the door and the other on this little handle. My mom was funny, she was like "No you are not getting in the shower with her!" She was getting mad, thanks mom.
Finally she was able to talk grandpa out of the bathroom, and I was out of that shower so fast!
I chuckle even thinking of this now, it was so bizarre. And the funniest thing of all was my grandpa hated to take showers! He would go a long time before my mom could convince him to get in. This is a story that makes me laugh now and I needed that.

my newest painting

this painting has been a long one to finish
i went about 4 weeks with out getting any work done, i had "painters block"
i guess all creative are vulnerable to this. remind you i have 2 days a week allotted to paint.
i didn't like where my painting was at one point and not being able to get it past there tripped me up. i have some feelings that there are unseen things at work here too, i can feel them pressing in on me. i got through it and have been painting again, i am getting closer to being done with this painting.
this is angel #4 in my series. i'm thinking of calling her "dawns hope" .

i couldn't sleep
too many thought on my mind
invigorated,
drained
restless energy spilling
finishing my list
thinking about it

reaching 100

i am working on my 100 things about me list, i am really surprised how challenging it is for me to come up with these.
i am at 75 right now and i think if i were including the deepest darkest things then i would be done.
but since i am insecure about somethings still and i don't know who is reading this, i think i better keep those bones buried for now.
i thought it would be a breeze to do 100.....uh ha. i am pondering some deeper things to reveal and bring to the light. i mean doesn't everyone want to know i am a size 6?
