In Pain

So I havn't been able to exercise or anything for days because this small pain in my lower back on my spine keeps getting worse. I've had this pain for a few weeks now but for a while it was minor and I figured I would just exercise through the pain and ignore it. In the past few days it has become exponentially worse. It is especially bad when I am walking. This morning I woke up and also had severe muscle soreness on my left lower back. This is all very upsetting! It seems like there is always something keeping me from being athletic. It seems that as soon as I found the motivation, got into some sort of shape, and increased my aerobic ability, I got injured and now I am forced to take a haiatus. It's so annoying! All I want to do is run free and feel spry and healthy and now I just feel like an old lady.

In good news I had the day off from work yesterday and I accomplished a LOT art-wise. Here I will show you a sneak peak at my artwork for the next show at Positron Gallery. The show theme is Eschatology.


I made my first mosaic!

The center of the eye is a mirror.

I also spray painted a decorative birdcage to look like stone, and inside of it I made a little diorama habitat for a solitary skeletal dinasaur. This is a view from the top:

I'm very happy with my progress!

I'm going to Colorado in a few days, I hope my back is better by then because I was planning on doing a lot of walking and hiking.
