Ok, so real talk...
I've been doing a fuck ton of suppressing myself these last 6-ish years
These past few months I've been getting back to myself.
TL;DR: trauma, grief, suppression of self.

COVID isolation didn't help things, but by that point I had already isolated myself anyway.

-Real Talk Warning-

It has been brought to my attention that I have some form of C-PTSD.
I have a lot of unresolved childhood trauma.
Dissociation, memory gaps, etc.

I hardly ever remember dreams anymore.

I think I miss dreaming.

Am alive!
Had flu!
Not fun!

What is fun?
I just ordered 4800 LEDs that may or may not be getting mounted to my ceiling and run off one of my controllers.

That sounds fun. Let's go!

Real rollercoaster of emotions this con.

We laughed, we cried, we drowned our sorrows in a lot of vodka.

All things considered, I'm happy my first con back as myself could be @furfest.org

Thanks for the good time.

Legit lost my slice of pizza before even getting badge.

I've decided it must be intended to be a game of finding the missing slice to the whole.

Philosophical? Spiritual? Metaphysical?

Are you my missing slice?

Going to MFF this weekend?

Keep an eye out for Zetta in 1 of 3 styles of harness.

Stop him for a hug!
Ask questions!
Check out the gear!

Ask him about the (soon to be) 4800 LEDs on his living room ceiling that will run off the same hardware he is carrying around!

Worried about the bag getting flagged so made a little demo box using the original hand-assembled PCB and the silicone seal test LED strip

Bag: through no issue
Zetta: flagged for additional pat down screening

TSA agent at the bins:
"What's that? Oh that's cool."

Zetta:

Okay, so the USB adapter for a raspberry pi will put out 5V at 5A
This should be enough to run my 4800 LED ceiling project.
Now ... 16 rolls of LEDs... 32 point star on the ceiling.

Living room is gonna be a rave showcase room

3 harnesses with boxes, 2 collars, 2 leashes, leg add-on replacements, Bluetooth speakers, chargers.

I have a feeling TSA might give me a slight hassle, at least until I show off some business cards and demo everything right there in the TSA check line.
Or I'll be in a dark interrogation room.

Little 4 way USB-C cable inside a pack of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries at Costco.
It can charge 3 of my boxes at once on my 18w brick. (1A each charge rate)
Sadly it's sharing power to the USB-A and USB-C ports so I can't also charge my phone...
Will use the AA and AAA somewhere...

Find spare material to make leash (or two?) in said bags.

I had a dream.
Which, is really rare for me to remember even having dreams.

Vague, but something about McDonald's and Chicken nuggets.

Now my brain is trying to draw some connection to finding myself and the ability to dream.

Chicken nuggies... 🤤

Work shopping some hook and loop for slight adjustability at some key connection points.

New X design

Allows the leg strap add-ons on the current MFF 7-point build to be modular

Will update with some better photos once the harness is on the fursuit it was measured for

Set for LAUNCH!

I had my first real therapy on Sunday.
Initial paperwork and diagnostic criteria
One key concept resonated

Burnout Syndrome
A concept of Active and Being mind states
Being stuck in Active (work) for so long and suppressing the Being

Thinking of furry and pup spaces as my Being
Be more Being

Got a battery for the multimeter.
Power testing puts my 600+ LED and 6+ hour runtime estimates in the ballpark of EXTREMELY conservative.

TL;DR: there's enough juice to rave all night.
Also run+charge via power bank or swap 18650 batteries.
Either way, the power ceiling is HIGH.

A lot of fun! Pups, fuzzies, and everything in between!
We got in a bit early to get some action shots before it got bumping.

All the pieces are in place, time to start building!

This one will have plastic buckles and stainless steel hardware due to a nickel sensitivity of the wearer.

Testing layouts and some application of heat shrink for a little extra protection!
