Happy New Year!!!

I know this is a bit belated but my new year started off in a way I didn’t expect. At the beginning of 2021 I was excited about the different projects and content I had come up with for the new year. As I started to get to work on implementing my ideas my health took an unexpected dive. A little over a week ago I was rushed to the ER via ambulance because I ended up on the floor in such severe pain I couldn’t walk and could barely move.  After talking with a nurse from my insurance company she recommended I go to the emergency room. 

I was really nervous about calling an ambulance. I was worried that what I was going through would turn out to be nothing more then muscle spasms (which I have suffered from before) and it would be a very expensive trip for nothing, I was nervous about the fact no one would be able to come with me because of the COVID rules and I was also a bit scared about the possibility of catching COVID at the hospital. 

Between the pain and my parents encouragement I dialed 911. Ultimately, I’m very glad I did as it turns out I needed emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder. 

Full recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks but I’m slowly getting back into life. I’ve been able to work on new songs and get some of the new kinds of content up on my socials. Starting with the picture above.

As I mentioned in a pervious post I’m a fan of miniatures. I’ve been a collector of miniatures things since I was kid. Whether it was miniature decorative boxes, miniature sets (I still have my polly pockets), miniature statues, miniature pumpkins at Halloween and the list goes on and on. This little hobby of mine continues to this day. There’s just something about the small size of these items I find really cute. As a previous post mentioned I’m even working on building a miniature bookstore. 

So when I was scrolling through Facebook one day an ad popped up showing me this miniature zither. I was soo excited because it combined two of my loves: miniatures and music.
