So I have my first sinus infection since January 2014. I had a very unpleasant encounter at an urgent care Saturday but I managed to get and start antibiotics. Still feel terrible. Calling my actual doctor in the morning.

Animated from a recent small piece ✨

SCAMbetter? Am Worse.

*sigh* and it has already devolved into just another firehose of doom on my screen and assault on my brain here. I guess it’s another app getting left on read then. 🤷‍♀️

Needle in my hip today. I am supposed to take it easy and wait for the schedulers to call and set up my next fun fun spine injection. Yay 😭.

Made this one from a photo of my star lamp. I managed to regulate myself from frustration to calm today. I am still in a lot of pain but I see the spine ortho tomorrow. Hope he helps.

Also I am listening to the most astonishingly perfect book for this moment on Libby.

Okay so while my BlueSky experiment continues to be mainly focused on original content and art, sometimes you find a thing that simply must be shared. This… is one of those things 🤗 You are all now safe from the Butt Bandit 👍 www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna27912...

I got this friendly little fellow on a visit to Costa Rica in college. Guess I am moving my little glitchy stuff over here now too.

Okay so there’s this little clay pot with a nightlight in my bathroom and the hue cycling LED that hasn’t worked since 2016 has just started working again. 😳 What’s that about? Here’s another part of my lights collection.

So Gonzo tried stealing my whole dinner and managed to get a chicken tender. I got it back and gave him his bath, and then tore it into bite size pieces and let him eat it 😂

I am thinking about evolving into a production designer for my next chapter. I taught it for years. I had to fight to make it an elective, and all the students who took it had fun mostly. Ziggy hated the Greenway film but I love her horror movies and beer blog! The Shermometer wants me to shut up

Yes it is still Fuck Zuck Saturday Here. I have one of those cats that wants in and out of the bedroom and that’s fine in summer but in winter I keep the bedroom door shut so it stays warm. So I have been using Gonzo’s mattress for balance exercises

So when I bought the giant dog mattress…fell and hurt myself. Fuck you Bluesky, with your character limit. THIS Is why I never used Twitter back when it was Twitter. Forcing me to limit my writing to a quotable bytes lacking context is bullshit. *sighs+ FucK tHiS pLaCe Let’s Take Back LiveJournal!!!

Gonzo just wandered off the edge of the bed again and he getting a bath and haircut for his vet appointment Monday! Shhh we’re not telling Moomba she’s going too!Gonzo is asking for more food. Which he is getting 🤷‍♀️ Moomba napping

Welcome to Fuck Zuck Week! To be perfectly honest I never used Twitter and while I have an instagram I forget it exists most of the time. I am treating BlueSky like a place to create a better narrative not just in my work but in my life. I had a scan today which wasn’t fun. Glad it’s over.

Watching Gravity Falls for the first time which is funny because I adore Kristen Schaal. Should have done it sooner but it was nice that I saved it.

I also have a sad and treacherous filking addiction 🤗

Trying to exercise positive energy here. I dreamt this morning of someone I loved, who I won’t cross paths with again and I just lingered in my dream enjoying his company and presence. Wonderful things are finite but we can still dream. Another of my favorites. Acrylic on canvas.

The majority of my BlueSky posts are my own art and ideas from my journal. I have other outlets for the world news and the dank memes and the terrible things. Joining this space presented the opportunity to do something different and practice a perspective I definitely needed. Here’s my dot dancer.

This is one of my favorite of my paintings. Acrylic on Canvas with mirror tiles that twinkle as my stars and nebula projector lights it at night. I really need to get back to my creative process but it’s been a stressful and exhausting time lately.

How it’s going.

Well I tried here’s the solstice sun.

Encountered this lovely bird on Hilton Head Island in January 2024.

For some time I have been searching for my next thing. I didn’t know what it looked like yet but I had this certainty that when I found it, I would *know*. I love that moment when struck by lightning and you see the shape formed by the pieces 🤗💕✨

If ifs and buts were cheese and nuts you could bring some fruit or wine and we’d have a great time. ✨

I’m all aglow

This is my favorite ten minutes out of my day. I fry to always start my day with it. youtu.be/K9KLZ8C9DrY?...

Haha Moomba has the zoomies 😂

Moomba had a snack and she is napping in her favorite spot 💕

As much as I love these socks, if Moomba did that I would be chasing her off the piano so fast! #sockdreams

I have been working through some stuff this week and I’m emerging out the other side 👍 I am trying to keep this a happy outlet where I post original content 🤗 Check out my lovely window film, the sun coming through this always makes my day better. Holding your joy is always an act of resistance.
