A Dream is a Wish The Heart Makes

thank you for spending your time with me,..I have been ill for several years, my childhood onset rheumatoid arthritis kicked up and I was bedridden for much of the past 5 or 6 years and this is how I entertained myself, taught myself to do layers then thusly composites starting back in 2010 with PaintDotNet which I still mostly use. I've done most likely over 3000, lost count but also have severe anxiety and concentration problems from Post Traumatic Disorder due to all the tragedy seen as an ICU and CVICU Open Heart nurse for 17 years, ravaged me. I have 4 gorgous kids and 7 grandkids and a loving but absent-due-to-work travels husband, a caretaker and parrots and a sweet dog to keep me company. This blogging, my facebook (kathy.boulier) and my new opera site where my new things are, www.my.opera.com/flapper1 keep me busy. I do post of Pictify as icu109, did up till late last June on DeviantArt as icu109 but had a breakdown early last July and got so behind don't know if I shall catch up there...it is very labor intensive, DeviantArt, and i have lots of watchers, groups and friends and when I am mentally under the weather I can barely keep up with Opera. So now my main site is flapper1 but so many of my blogposts and albums are here, and Andreas kindly said they shall stay put, I do visit fairly often. Thank you for your friendship, I am alone mostly with my puppy, my kids are Michael who is married with a boy and girl and a LT Colonel in the USAF stationed in DC and I think he is a spy lol...then Lori, just did a blogpost here for friends only, was just published, she and husband are doctors at Northwestern U in Chicago and have a boy and girl. then Sara just got married in Sept, her wedding pics are up here, the bitchy blonde babe, is in management and so is her hubby, at Best Buy 2 separate stores, here in Michigan and live about 20 minutes from me but I can't get out much...and they so busy. Steven my baby has a gorgeous wife and 3 boys and lives about 2 miles down the street from me so I see them fairly often. The caregiver is an older black southern gentleman from Alabama, his dad was the Honorable Lucius Black from the Alabama House of Rep and his mom Mildred a notary and retired schoolteacher and an author in her own right. Urey is the oldest of 3 sons and is a friend of ours so when Karl my husband had to go out of state to work 4 years ago, Urey got the suite at the back of the house, has his room, his own bath and sitting/computer/music room. He is a sax player among many other things. Pain in my ass is one lol. Best go take care of things, nice to have a new friend~ love kat...visit me on facebook, I go there on occasion as well, cuz all my friends from Lew Wallace HS in Gary, Indiana congregate on FB. So do my favorite artists and musicians. Go to my about page and you shall see my very fave things like TIMO from Stratovarius. enough words, getting antsy...best kat
