this is a foot

April 9, 2011May 23, 2014 kaitmastersLeave a comment

For homework this weekend, we had to draw this foot. I really really do not like feet. I think they are ugly and weird looking. God, why did you make feet so strange?

Is Friday Introductions still a thing? I say, sure it is! . I’m a part time artist and full time community support specialist. Somewhere in there I also find time to be a #Myastheniagravis and rare disease/disability awareness advocate. . It’s been almost a year since my husband and I packed up our truck (and our dog) to move from Columbia, SC to the beautiful PNW. . 50% of my weekends are taken up by myasthenia gravis treatments, and the other half you’re likely to find us up in the San Juan Islands with family. This photo is from our favorite place to hike, Mountain Lake on Orcas Island. . Fun fact: today I’m launching the third annual art + handmade auction benefitting the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America. I also went to bed at 8:30 last night because planning and organizing events is tiring 😉😂💕

I think we should play a game... I’ll send a surprise painting to the first person who can spot the dog hair in my watercolor palette 😂

Any other artists literally hold their breath until they know artwork has been safely delivered to their wonderful clients? I just got the best message from my dear @wendyzookphotography letting me know these safely arrived today so I’m over here doing a little happy dance!

Warning: this is a long one. . I disappeared from here for a bit. Realizing I hadn’t taken any true vacation days since January, I planned to take off Thursday and Friday for a 4 day weekend. I haven’t painted, but I’ve cooked and baked and worked in the garden and drove our truck for the first time since January. . I’m glad I had preplanned time off because this week was hard. Two entrepreneurial icons died by suicide, and we were all reminded that depression and despair does not discriminate. We were shown that we need to do a better job of checking on our friends and loved ones rather than waiting for them to tell us when they’re feeling like the world around them is too much to navigate. . Friday morning was also the day I woke up to news that the DOJ believes that with the end of the individual mandate, protections for the 130 million Americans living with pre-existing conditions are unconstitutional and no longer defendable. And for the 50 million Americans living with serious disabilities, this is yet another roller coaster of emotion wondering what it means for our lives. As someone whose life has regained a sense of purpose because of the access that health insurance (begrudgingly) gives me to expensive and life saving treatments, I was crushed to read the news. As with times past with proposed healthcare changes, I devoured every bit of news I could around it. . My husband and I have spent a lot of time talking through what it means for us if and when I become uninsurable. It means no more IVIG, no possibility of biologics like Rituxan or Soliris or immune suppressants like Cellcept or Imuran. It will mean some scary things and hard decisions for us. . I’m going to hold tightly onto the days that remain, with hopeful expectation that others will come to see that broken bodies are valuable members of our society too. I’m also going to take more time to enjoy the quality of life I’m afforded right now, knowing all too well how soon it may become unattainable. . This week has been the reminder to hold your loved ones closer and not take your days for granted.
