    I’m on vacation this week, which means that I’m kind of taking a break from most things, including posting on social media, so … even though I’ll be enjoying the beginning of the spooky season before us, I will not be doing livetweet sessions until next week. I’m continuing #horrorpalooza2022 with a movie I saw…

    The last 16 months have been … intense, we shall say. But. I did it. I finished the hardest undertaking I have attempted and managed to make it through to the end. I’m still not entirely sure how I was able to complete such a rigorous program, but you know what? I’ll take it. Happily.…

    For the last year, I’ve been in this full-steam-ahead mode, mostly because of nursing school (only 58 more days … how???), and having moments of doing nothing, or simply existing without producing something, seemed like such a waste. Even routine self-care, like washing my face or brushing my teeth, was this pointless thing that took…

    So I’ve been medicated for bipolar type 2 for months now, and it’s been great for the most part. I’ve dealt with situations that would have broken me for weeks, my road rage is under control, I can focus … the list continues. I kind of feel like I may be existing in a more…

    I used to use colored pencils exclusively when I was a kid, but for whatever reason, I stopped? I can’t really remember what caused me to drop them, and I’m pretty sure I still have my stash of pencils at my parents’ house … hundreds of pencils. I should probably look for them, yes? I…

    Back when I was doing my Bubblegum Crisis challenge, I was a little disappointed in the lack of fan art, and although what I did find was spectacular, I kinda wanted to try my hand at it. This is the first result:
