Christmas break is over aaaaahhhhhhhhh !!! Both kids are back in school today woohoo. I was a little worried when my alarm went off this morning because I have it set to the radio and the only line I heard was "busses had to stop running last night." before I shut it off. So I got up and checked the school district website and sure enough two school were closed today but not my kids schools :D
I finally got MOTIVATED and cleaned up my workspace last night and decided to gesso some canvas for a swap I am working on and while I had my paints out and a pre gesso'd 8x10 panel I decided to paint my word of the year "MOTIVATION" I had a good time and this turquoise, yellow, white, red colour combo seems to be a favourite of mine lately and I seem to be into dots and circles too, something about the circle just seems to go with the word of the year idea.
I am off to drink more coffee and maybe paint some more tomorrow is my first day back at school and I start fist thing with drawing 2 :D
Oh in other news the sleep lab finally called and I am picking up my little tester machine on Thursday to get tested for the sleep problems which is good....it has taken forever, of course the lady said she can't get me an appointment to discuss the results until February.

Heather, Love the canvas!
What prompted me to write though is your comment about the sleep study. I spent 20 years waking up tired, frequently with a headache. Doctors tested me for EVERYTHING! Till one day my GYN told me to go for a sleep study and voila! I've been using a CPAP machine now for 3 years and feel like a different person! It's made a HUGE difference in my life.
I would recommend a sleep study to anyone who has any combination of these symptoms: snores, gasps while sleeping (your partner will notice this), wakes up tired, has frequent headaches, wakes several times in the night, has trouble staying awake through the day, has twitchy limbs. There are so many times I wished someone had told me all this!
Good luck with your testing! I'll see you at Inspired!
Tiffany
