An intro!
I'm Naomi: whimsy-seeker, crafter, painter and embroidery artist. I also quad skate and play games. I seek whimsy and will usually overthink (why do I feel like I'm writing a dating profile?).
Interested in therapy and the arts which is where I'm planning to forge a path.

Sat here drawing clown frill ruffles on a pigeon and having thoughts about AI and how threatening it is in so many ways. I am drawing this creature with a pencil and my hands and my eyes. But I'm finding myself nervous about how it looks, in case it's mistaken for AI. Cont 1/2

Thought I would be really clever and get my desk set up for my first day back at work tomorrow after sick leave.
Swiftly followed by spilling two glasses of water directly into the drawer my laptop lives in. Amazing, ten out of ten, let's pray it still works in the morning.

Being reminded today that my anxiety truly is "off the wall" at the moment and that time is required. I hate when other people are right (but also appreciate it because I cannot be trusted to be right atm 😂)

Traitors Celebrity starts tonight and I am so excited 😁😭 Traitors is the show I am always most excited about, I haven't been this excited about TV since the early X Factor days (I was a child).

Spooky season! The #blobtober prompt for days 3 - 6 is Skull, so behold: skulls.
This was difficult but very fun! Silly spooky guys.

October art challenges are often a lot of pressure (for me) but I love this one from buttercat_paradox over on Instagram.

Next blob coming over the next couple of days.

Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn

Listened to Taylor Swift's new album, quite enjoyed it. Some good bops. I'm not a big music person so it's not unusual for me to be a bit eh about new albums but I have a good time doing laundry to it.

Day 7, last day of pre-planned holiday and three weeks after losing my dad. Just arrived home (dates are weird when it's technically tomorrow). Thoughts: I'm tired. Everything is tiring.

Day 6 of being on holiday while processing three-week-dead-dad. Thoughts: it's so weird that time is just like... continuing? It was one week, then two, now three. Just bizarre.

Day 5 of being on holiday while processing losing my dad. In almost exactly two hours it will be three weeks since he died. Thoughts: talking about it feels very self indulgent today. I feel fine, so why do I need to talk about it? If I talk about it I'm just being dramatic etc.

Part of being on holiday is accidentally ordering a bottle of wine for the same price as a small glass in London (wine glass is huge, bottle is slightly smaller than regular)

Day 4 of holiday after losing my dad. Thoughts: asking for what I need is hard. Asking for what I need is really useful. Had an afternoon alone after therapy to Feel Things, it was nice.

Day 3, two weeks post dead dad, on holiday processing etc.
Thoughts: was really torn today on whether to go out and do things or stay in and allow sadness. Difficult to do both, it's either Doing or Being. Went out, was lovely, feel the need for some Being time.
