As I type this, I yearn to do some painting. And yet, I know that I can't do this today. I'm in a loaner wheelchair from HME. It's crap, and my body doesn't fit into it properly. Still, it's better than nothing, I suppose. I just don't dare paint in it because it's not mine, and I know I'd get paint all over it, which would never come out.

Plus, I'm going to New York with Lenny on Tuesday to attend the Disability Studies Conference, so I need to do a lot of things to get everything ready. I'll have to prepare my employees' payroll so they'll get paid while I'm gone. And, I have to get enough food and necessities for my husband Rob and our two cats, Hershey and Rascal.

I'm going to miss Rob and the two cats, and having my daily Iced Caps at Tim Hortons, and doing my art every night until the early hours of the morning. But, I'm very excited about going to New York! I've never been been before. I'm dying to see the East Village and all of the art galleries. It's going to be so cool!
