One a (week)day: Day 135 – Metro

Piece number 135 (09/06/07). For people not familiar with the DC area, this is the map of the DC metro. So my whole day was spent either on the metro, waiting for the metro, on the bus, waiting for the bus, or just waiting. I had a doctor appointment today (which the doctor was running an hour behind) and I had to take the metro and a bus to get there. It turns out I will be having a fairly minor ‘procedure’ on my pinkie in the near future – though it should help with the pain. It was pretty hot outside and I got pretty wiped out.

— Q&A –
From garth (http://www.artofgarth.com/) “Cut paper, it feels so familiar and welcoming. Very nicely done. Doesn’t your hand hurt after creating one of these?”
Some days are better than others. My hand tends to feel a lot worse when I first wake up. These do hurt my hands, but even when I do not do an artwork my hand hurts. It has had some issues for quite a long time – though I am working on getting it better. Right now one of my fingers only has 38% of the strength of a normal person, I think my highest finger has 68% strength of a normal person – which both numbers are improvements. Even with these low numbers I can close the lid of a jar or bottle with an amazing amount of force, my husband generally has to use pliers to open anything I close.
