I used to run. I was in an accident. I spend a lot of time in hospital. My mother is in the hospital. My mom had a heart attack.
I am an artist. I have a cat named Charlie.
I called the hospital and checked on my mother's health. Oh yeah? How is she doing today? She is doing better. She has a lot more energy today and was able to get up and walk around. I am very thankful! Oh that's great news! I'm so happy to hear that she has more energy. I'm sure that was a relief. Are you going over to see her today? Yes, I am going to head to the hospital later today and bring her some dinner. I think she is a bit tired of the food at the hospital. Have you created any new pieces of art lately? Oh I definitely understand that. I've heard hospital food is not the best. I'm actually working on an abstract painting right now with Charlie as the inspiration.  That sounds very interesting. Do you have a studio that you paint at? I don't have an official studio, but have turned my garage into a studio. It has a couple of windows, so the lighting is much better than you'd expect. I converted it last year and it has worked out really well so far! That is great, I am sure Charlie likes having you at home while you work on your paintings.  Do you have a piece that is your favorite? He really does! I have a couple favorites - I did an oil painting series of Yellowstone on a vacation a few years ago and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Have you ever dabbled in art? Wow, I would love to see that, Yellowstone is beautiful! I use to sketch and draw when I was younger but as I got older I found I wasn't as interested, probably because I am not very good at it. You should come over some time and I can show it to you. I can understand losing interest in drawing, you may enjoy painting a little more. It's a great outlet for frustration, creativity, etc.
