I feel this in my soul (mine was just under 10).

Last watercolour painting of :kittenkimiicon: and I studying over the summer break!

☔🌦️

Is is just humidity? I found it horrific coming back to wet Auckland 30'C compared to the dry Texas or Colorado 40'C.

That's always a pain. Some of mine ended up being vestibular migraines, it's chilled out a tonne since I got on preventer meds.

About 5am usually, if it's earlier than that I try to go back to sleep :'D

You can't just drop these with no lore 👀

When you are interested, Matti B's brushes are what I used and there are often sales.

I use a bunch of brushes from The Big One and I'm seriously considering the plant/foliage brushes also.

I have had this as my iPad background since I first saw you post it. I have no regrets.

It takes a little while to get into the new workflow, but other than a few weird iPad OS issues, I find it's pretty intuitive after a while.
There are also some great brush packs if you're into that kinda thing!

It's so unhinged I don't even know, lol. This is one of those "bro, are you ok?" posts.

This is fine :3

Excuse me it contains FISH, I need at least 10 right now.

Gaye.

Cat Jesus confirmed. All hail the messiah of catte.

What is this rock you speak of?

I wouldn't wish this on most of my enemies, the inflammation, nor the pain and day-in-day-out fatigue. I started referring to myself as an invalid because boy howdy when you can barely get out of bed and feed/water yourself for weeks it sure feels like that's a good descriptor.

Eugh, that's absolutely no fun. It doesn't sound like my pain is as high as yours has been/is most of the time, and thankfully I've found a medication that works once I got diagnosed (Crohn's and chronic migraines), so aside from the occasional codeine my lingering symptoms are the fatigue.
