Taking deep breaths to calm down. I need to leave the house, and not look like a mess. Why does maintaining the appearance of being put together keep getting harder and harder?

I’m still learning how to draw fog. Next I need to learn to draw rain. Looking to manga and floating world to teach me how to draw rain. I’m going to have to sleep with these books under my pillow. That works, right? RIGHT?

Working on a “quick” 8 x 8 piece that I’m 19 hours in, and maybe 2/3rds done (realistically half done).

Crawled through this day with zero short term memory. Not sure how I not only managed to got through the day, but made it home with *almost* everything on my grocery list. Also yesterday and today: I mended 36 holes on one sweater. 36! That’s a $159 repair.

Relating foreign language to singing is my way of learning pronunciation. There is rhythm and cadence to learn along with the vowels and consonants. I’ve immersed myself in Japanese music since I started attempting to learn it.

A couple of 3-4 word passages and a couple of breathing phrases away from being able to sing shinunoga e-wa. You have to be well prepared to sing karaoke.

I know it’s obvious, but drawing and inking in an 8 x 8 v. a 12 x 16 is kind of a relief knowing it’ll be finished in a couple of days rather than a couple of months.

I think I ate too much cheese. I didn’t even think that was possible. Feeling extremely demoralized. Send something? I’d normally ask for tacos, but those contain cheese.

Dragged my exhausted body to the sewing studio on my day off. I only managed to cut out 3 bras, and partially sew one. I’m counting that as a major victory.

Tomorrow’s goal: cut out and start sewing 6 bras. I have all the lace with more coming. The idea is to make a pile, so I can not think about doing it again for at least a year. Maybe 2. I have some French lady in me; I’m bringing her out.
