Chromebook Tab Amnesty today, woooooo!

I was supposed to do a lot of art over the last two weeks. homework for the art class I am taking at mission college with Jeff.

adhd makes it so a lot of the time i have to basically stomp my way through planning A Thing.
right now i am writing a list of the steps i need to take and goals i want to try to complete today.

* make a shared folder for photo references
* move already-downloaded references
* go find and download the rest of the face references
* then put THOSE in the shared folder too
* pick two nose-mouth models and draw them
* pick one shot of Michael Sheen as Aziraphale to try to draw a headshot.
* draw that headshot
.
.
.
profit?

or well, be able to show some homework in tomorrow's Zoom meeting with Prof. Rivera.

uggghhhhhhh

it's funner and easier playing Animal Crossing or reading fic.

I did do a minorly effortful public artistic offering. the full moon was yesterday, and wednesday night i offered single-card tarot readings to facebook friends. Powered through something like 40.

(thank the gods for the Osho Zen Tarot app and screenshots)
Sometimes reading tarot can be very effortful and exhausting, I just decided to tread lightly, take the first impression, and run from card to card to card, holding focus on each individual just long enough to make and interpret the reading.

I think it let me use the leftover energy Ive had hanging about myself as I always do when it's hard to find purpose or to focus on my own behalf. I can usually focus for others. And Wednesday/Thursday being the Supermoon it just felt like I was riding that energy straight through the whole process. took less than two hours, I think.

okay. time to get back to work on collecting all my photo references.

more later!

Ten things makes a post.

1. Jeff and I started to take a drawing class together at the local community college. Third class was today and I'm really liking it so far!

2. Things are going better for me and him re: my own headspace and also re: the old resentments and unhappiness we've both been lugging around. He actually suggested that I should go ahead and make the appointment for couples counseling, and that he'd go.

3. Also, there's a new man in my life. He's patient and kind and he thinks I am adorable, sexy, curvy and kind and he tells me so using both his words and his body. I like him a LOT. And he's been really kind, sweet, and patient with me while I needed it. (Our last date was hot, and I needed that. Amazing.)

4. My brain is bad at scheduling and remembering scheduling, but we're going to try to see each other again soon. Yay!

5. Also on the my memory isn't great, Kaiser wouldn't do anything further on ADHD evaluation, so they signed me up for a memory evaluation. Which, okay, yay? Except it's in the geriatric department, so I Feel Some Feelings about that. I'm only FIFTY!

6. ALSO I need to get fitted for hearing aids, this tinnitus is driving me nuts... Also some other hearing related bullshit, dammit.

7. I made bread from scratch! And it was tasty and Jeff and Joanne liked it too. Jenn's recipe and technique, I like this!

8. I'm going to open DW in a Chromebook tab next time I open the laptop so I can come read about y'all's lives. I've been failing in that regard of late and I need to do better.

9. The drawing class we are in gives me faith that soon I'll be able to tackle some of the fanart I've wanted to make for AGES as gifts to authors I love, and THEN I get to learn how to post images on AO3, and after THAT I get to learn podficcing and digital art techniques. Which maybe Jeff will know more than me and can give me tips like I can give him tips with pencil and paper art.

10. I have so many stories to finish! I have so many story fragments and works in progress and while I love writing, it is HARD Work and I am DISTRACTIBLE. *sigh* I can do this.

I can do this.

PS the cat is cute as ever and says hello and "mom if you're going to sit there I'm going to groom you *lick lick lick*"
