Post Christmas Doldrums

 It seems to Fio that she's done so much work on her new lodgings--bedroom and studio--that she should be able to relax and enjoy herself, but NOOOOOO! Her closet is still a childish mess and the studio seems to get more crowded every day.

It's always so exciting to decorate for Christmas and a real hassle to take it everything down--and this year, to add to it, Fiorella can't find a box big enough to store all of her collected decorations.

Now that your girl's home care nurse has released her, she's without a friend to talk to. Covid has kept her from making new friends in her neighborhood and, since she isn't driving, she can't "Get around much anymore." DANG! Nothing to do but sneak out at night and paint pictures on the sides of her neighbors' houses. Anyone want to put on a black mask and join her?

Speaking of painting up other people's houses, Fio once had a student who wrote an essay about how he and his pals would paint all sorts of designs on freight cars. As an artist, your girl thought it was interesting, and as a teacher, she felt honored that he trusted her enough to confide what was a crime at the time--and still may be, for all Fio knows.

What has Yours Truly been doing lately to combat the post-Christmas blues, you ask? How about gathering oak leaves from the sidewalk and yard, then making a falling tree design down the front window of her studio. Try it--you'll like it. 😊
