There are various signs here as of late, showing us Springtime is certainly on its way. From blades of green grass poking its head out from the dry, brown grass to the tiny buds bursting forth atop the trees. Although I'm a lover of snow and Christmas, I'm more than ready for Spring to arrive. So, what a better way to usher it in than by painting some bunnies this week!
I've so much catching up to do out here in bloggie-land. I've had every intention of doing so but have failed. Between custom orders and dealing with a lot of shoulder pain, radiating down into my arm again from the car accident, I'm tired by the time 8:00 in the evening rolls around. Sadly, if this amount of pain continues, I'll be forced to return to my pain doctor to determine what should be done for relief. Tonight, I'm curled up in the sofa with the mister and a hot water bottle on my shoulder to alleviate some of the (almost) constant pain today.
Anyway, enough of me. I'm planning to simply rest most of the day tomorrow here on the sofa and look forward to catching up with everyone.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. :D
DeleteI hope your arm feels better, maybe when the weather changes it will help.
ReplyDeleteYes, it would be good. Pain can make one cranky, too. :(
DeleteCute bunny illustration, Alexandra, but no good about your pain. :( I sure hope you feel better soon. I may have mentioned this before but my daughter was in a car accident some years ago and, after a year of doctors and physiotherapists, she was still suffering terrible neck, shoulder, and back pain due to severe whiplash and soft tissue damage. She ended up going for acupuncture and noticed an immediate improvement after the first visit. I think it only took one more visit for her to be practically pain-free. It was amazing! Just thought I'd mention it in case you are interested in trying it out. Rest up and take care. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Serena. And not sure if you mentioned this or not. Not a needle fan but may certainly have to try it. :)
DeleteEverything about the bunny is so appealing, his round little shape and arms at his sides, bright clothes. Like a little kid waiting for his picture to be taken. I hope you find some pain relief. It's difficult when there's no let up.
ReplyDeleteAwww...thank you very much, Barbara, on my bunny. :) And yes, pain can cause so many issues and difficulty not being a grump at times. Oh dear me. lol
DeleteAh your bunny is so sweet,gorgeous! Sorry to hear about your pain,nothing worse then that is there when you can't get any relief from it :(
ReplyDeleteHugs

Donna, thank you very much. He's a cute bunny, no less. :D Thank you on the pain relief as well. xx
DeleteOh my, that does not sound good, Alex. I keep my fingers crossed that your shoulder gets better in a hurry, and I hope without a(nother) doctor's visit.
ReplyDeleteThere is no sign of spring here yet or maybe I'm not seeing it, because we did have a few very warm days. I am very ready for spring, too, and your bunnies are so cute and very timely.
Thank you very, very much. I've had a little relief today with the shoulder pain, so that helps. :)
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your arm and hopefully another day of rest will help alleviate the pain. Beautiful bunny, btw. Springs and love are both in the air! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to Spring. :)
DeleteSuch a cute bunny! We had one in our driveway the other night and he seemed paralyzed in the car headlights as we pulled up - we even got out of the car, exchanged a few words with him before he took off like a bolt of lightning!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your pain my dear - perhaps you can get an injection, which I feel is better than pills. Worked for my back/leg problem and has lasted almost a year - I am SO thankful and keeping fingers crossed it continues!
Love to you both and Brendel.

Thank you, Mary. They're all over here and Brendel certainly loves to try and track them down. lol Thank you re your thoughts with my pain. It's not been as intense today, so hoping it will let up for awhile. xx
DeleteI love your bunnies. Just the sign of spring that I needed. I hope that you will take time to take care of yourself and get some rest. Your fans in blogland only want what is best for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Ginny. The bunnies are hopping about everywhere here the past week or so. xx

DeleteSending you hugs and hope you can get enough rest to renew your energy. Constant pain can be so difficult to carry on with mentally, so I hope you can get some remedy soon.
ReplyDeleteYour bunny illustration is just wonderful and full of character with a hint of mischief.
Thank you for all of the hugs, Juana, and understanding the challenges of constant pain. Thank you on my bunny. He's certainly up to something, no? :)
