#mild productivity

It's nice to have salvaged "Mirrorsight" cover art. By which I mean I re-scanned it after giving the original a much needed facelift.

It's definitely one of my favorites from the series.

#illustration #crosshatching #graphite #horse #equine #cover art #fantasy art #pegasus #black and white #traditional art #this one made me so sad when I first found it again #i know that makes it not the original anymore but I would rather be happy with an updated piece #it's mild differences in cleaning up the hatching and adjusting tone/outline #it just makes for a better final product #“you can't make a living drawing horses” #“okay” #funny how things work out #anyway I should have prints available of all cover illustrations by the end of the month #so if that's your thing watch this space

Some (late) holiday photos of the boye~!

#cats #holiday #OUGHH....... barely could even get these edited and posted... my mysterious sickness flare up has been sooo bad the past few #days.. I didn't even go to the usual obligatory family christmas I was supposed to attend (!!! health issue/medical mention in tags below) #My stomach issues basically put me in a constant state of uncontrollable shivering/body shaking + nausea + sometimes rapid heart #rate. and when it happens at night that makes it like.. nearly impossible to sleep when you're violently shaking + you can feel your heart #so strong + you keep having to run to the bathroom every 5 minute to cough and gag #and throw up and so on and so forth. etc. So I went like 40 hours without any sleep almost for christmas eve and all of christmas day #last night I finally got maybe 2 hours of sleep in between the nausea and shaking and stuff. and then today I was able to get a few #hours of sleep in the afternoon. Today I tried taking an anxiety mediciation a doctor gave me in case it was anxiety related (it's apparent #ly used to relax people and works in the moment. rather than like Anxiety Mediciation that you have to take for weeks to see any effect #because I think this isn't actually acting on your brain chemistry it's judt like..a mild sedative or something.) but all that did was make #me dizzy and sweaty lol. I;m glad I slept a little but I'm just still frustrated that I don't feel normal. I started having these #'episodes' (with the stomach issues + shaking + heartrate + nausea etc.) like at the end of october. And usually it will happen for like a #few hours at a time. or i'll lose sleep one day and then be fine the next. but this has been like nearly 3 days of feeling weird. so is #getting kind of annoying... It's funny too because I was so so productive like.. literally the few days before. I was feeling much better #and I was working on my game and blah blah. But then.. random issue flare up out of nowhere of course.. yaayy.... happy holidays to meee lo #I did at least see two random ducks outside of my window in the yard area for christmas. and havent seen them since. So it's like.. hrmm.. #pacing around my room nauseous and shakings and etc. but at least... hello.. two little ducks placed there just for me :3c #Now I get anxiety every night which I'm sure doesn't help/could exacerbate whatever underlying genuinely physical issues exist. But after #like 2 nights of 'I spend the night sleepless and incredibly uncomfortable just sitting in the dark sick' then bedtime is like.. dread... #I even was trying slapping myself in the face in desperation to see if somehow that could shock my body out of whatever the hell it was #doing lol.. up at 3am holding ice cubes in my hand and hitting myself in the head and crying from exhaustion and thowing up.. literally #ridiculous cartoon character feeling... AAANYWAY!!! At least I have baby boy pictures. and I have lots of doctors appointments so hopefully #whatever the issue is can be sorted out at some point. I don't know much about ibs but hopefully maybe something like that that I could pos #ibly take medication for and not something more seirous or anything. Maybe there's a food I'm secretly intolerant to or whatever. #And I did at least post a sims holday video actually timed for the holidays so that's something. I havent been productive really latrely #though obviously.. I can't even play games or small tasks when in that state since I'm just SO physically uncomfortable. Nausea and heart #stuff are THE hardest physical sensations to ignore.. BUT yeah... hoping I shall sleep at all tonight. hopeing to get like 3 productive #things done.. at some point... at least SOMETHING... lol..... *** *** ***

[july-19th-club]

there's a guy who i dont work with but who works from my building as a consultant for a job-center type organization, and whenever he comes in he like. sets such a good example of patience, compassion, good manners, and...i dont know, gentleness that it makes me try harder not to be irritable or impatient with patrons. two totally different jobs, we never even speak unless he's asking for the stapler or we're saying hi and bye on his way in and out of the building, but every thursday good old boring average chris shows up to set up his laptop at one of our public tables and meet clients, and he's so goddamn nice i'm like okay i have to be nice too . so thanks chris

#im usually so short-tempered at work these days i just get so huffy when i have to interact and guide ppl through shit . but it's . idk #i think he gets his frustrations out in a more productive way bc i overheard him on the phone the other day #organizing a wheelchair rugby game . apparently he's on a team. i would never have taken him for a rugby guy. so mild mannered #he really is the most average looking man on the planet but there is a slight slyness to his resting expression bc he has one lazy eye #i think i have a little bit of a crush on him #the circ desk is very tall because patrons will loom over us otherwise so unless im standing up i do not even see him come in #you just hear a rattling noise and you're like oh chris is here whats up as he rolls by #from opposite sides of the particle board. sometimes make eye contact thru the book drop slot #its the most consistent part of my thursdays. out of touch. when your not around. i may have a crush on job center chris #it would never go anywhere. he's like in his forties i think and guy like him. probably married . but i can think my thoughts

I had to look up the schönbrunn 2022 recording to grab one of those screenshots in my previous post and truly the only redeemng quality of schatten in that garbage fire is lukas' big sad eyes and everpresent ">:[". without him we're lost,,,,,

#i've seen a brief clip of moritz mausser in 2023 and he's NICE and sings nicely but he's not GIVING ANYTHING #so many of the previous rudolves ate. like rent was due so they went for it. gay4pay and sad4pay #ajshdhgjgjjdfjdjfgj (some of them are actual real life gay but theres also many examples of ppl playing it well regardless of irl sexuality #like even where blocking isnt necessarily requiring it some ppl went crazy (well one specific person) (2011 tour) #i think the current production design dictated by the vbw just is 'no gay people or gnc onstage otherwise smth might awaken in the audience #like even the productions that stray from leather mark are quite mild in how they stray if at all (ie brussels; czechia; hungary) #i'm not going to be happy with any production of the show until we bring back the queer energy. like general audiences better not feel #comfortable watching schatten 2 i want tod and rudolf to be absolute freaks about it

I am hereby declaring January 2024 as 'Jesus-Fucking-Christ-January'.

Because what the fuck.

#mild not even vent post #just bemusement befuddlement and a white knuckle grip on the rollercoaster #i declared i wanted a calm mildly productive start of the year and am instead dealing with multiple Events™ in trench coats and fake glasses #we're not even two weeks in bro wtf #to clarify sone of these events are Very Exciting and others are. Not. #is this how it feels to juggle chainsaws?? #the damn things are overlapping overbalancing and playing leapfrog with my sanity #thalassa speaks #just what the fuck 2024

looking back and rereading the tbaf series so far for funsies and what the fuck there are SO many typos like i know i posted all of tbaf without proofreading or editing or having a beta reader or anything but also like. jesus christ. i swear i know how to form sentences and words properly please don’t use tbaf as a judgement on my ability to function as a writer

#tbaf #also hi im home sick today bc i woke up at 2:30 am and promptly 🤮 #not fun but also got to sleep in #i mean i might go to my afternoon shift if my stomach stops being an asshole #but so far no luck so we’ll see #gonna give myself another like hour or so to just lay down and then try to do what i can to be productive today #despite feeling like Garbo™ #no fever tho so im assuming its just like a v mild stomach bug that the kids at work gave me or something #and as a diabetic it decided to make my blood sugar fly up to jupiter lmao #but my sugars are mostly fine now !! which is good!! tummy still no happy tho

Are we going to see drama between Connor and Will? Curious to know because so far it’s the thing that have been stable in the life of bex and his brothers xD

Hmmmm, this one is complicated to answer. Some drama coming up, but not the way you're thinking, I think.

Maybe some other stuff down the road, but I think at the heart of it, for what Will went through to get where he is and how careful Connor is with him, they can work through anything. They are very Chris and Cindy-like that way.

Thanks for the ask!

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you. #who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster #talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo #I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache #or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop #e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!' #like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

hi random person visiting thru one of ur posts. i also have evil hell dandruff and i found coal tar shampoo is basically perfect for helping to keep down the flaking :) unfortunately the itching wont go all the way away tho :(

Oh yeah for sure, I actually have like 6 bars of coal tar soap, plus coal tar shampoo, plus Neutrogena acid free face wash (it has salicylic acid), plus normal shower stuff. I am in itch and drift hell. Basically the only time I don't itch is straight after a shower, but if I just tousle my hair a little bit it's a snow drift and feels Terrible

(For those unaware, salicylic acid is a skin product that helps dead skin strip off easier and acts like a mild antibacterial, usually used for acne or, if you watch hoof gp videos, the powdered form is used to allow dead skin to separate and keep exposed live skin from getting infected. In the case of dandruff, all it does is help make the top layer of dandruff easier to remove. Coal tar extract and coal tar, however, actually inhibits skin growth specifically, preventing dandruff and such caused by shedding excess overgrown skin like in psoriasis. Another option for who's issue is eczema instead of psoriasis and normal causes is products containing Colloidal Oatmeal, since eczema involves try skin that cracks and needs moisturizing and soothing, rather than scales of dead skin that are easily peelable. Usually dandruff shampoos have neither, such as head and shoulders which has pyrithione zinc in normal products, and usually selenium sulfide in stronger products aimed at fungal issues that cause dandruff. If you suffer from untreatable dandruff, explore your options on potential causes, and try different active chemicals that attack different sources of the issue)

#hello darkness my old friend. I have insomnia again #it seems i wont get back to sleep. making this the 4th night in a row of 4 to 5hrs sleep. woof #is it insomnia or am i on the bleeding edge of hyp0mania? idk its weird. i can feel the strain in my head #my thoughts dont connect as well. its like im being pulled in two directions. my brain becoming spaghettified. growing thin around the #middle. but im not as tired as one might expect. ive been pretty productive and optimistic but anxiety and internal restlessness are up #like im tired but also i need to get up and pace around. maybe jump up and down. maybe run in circles. #the energy comes in waves. sitting in lectures or sitting for the extended addition of l0tr has been somewhat unbearable #bc im so contained. i would not ever get up and walk around while those things were happening but i desperately wanted to #ugh. whats my problem? who's to say. could also b the medication. i see the psychiatrist next week and i think ill beg to b put back on #lam1ctal. just bc when i was taking it on a super low does i had a week or feeling the most normal i think i ever have in my life #anxiety and evil thoughts were so small and i felt happy in a way im not sure i ever have been #like i think under normal circumstances i just have a low capacity for joy. at most i feel neutral. like i was telling my friends how i #might do some field work in winter and they were enthusiastic abt it and i kno y bc it sounds cool but idk i just dont feel anything abt it #i cant see past the pain it will take to get there. and i mean mood wise i feel alright on 4bilify like in a nutral way but stable isnt #the same as feeling happy. but maybe its all just in my head. 25mg lam1ctal shouldnt b enough to b effective #but idk i think im just sensitive to the chemicals in my body. including hormone fluctuations. idk. i hope she lets me switch. #itll b a pain in the ass to readjust in terms of going off what im on now and it might not work #but theres literature on retrying lamicta1 and they say to avoid inflammatory reactions in the first 2 months. which i did not do. oops #not that i was trying. i didnt think abt it until id had a million holes poked in my skin and was experiencing a mild tatt00 allergy #ugh. anyway. tbh id prefer this being hyp0mania vs insomnia bc then at least i can continue to function a bit during the day #ive never done anything that wild while hyp0manic aside from injure myself from over exercising and make bad choices in how i spend time #ie become insane abt something and not b able to think abt anything else. ugh. and i guess at this point ive tentatively accepted the idea #of being bip0lar. so i swear to christ if i was misdiagnosed ill b so mad. its just that if i fill out an 4dhd and bip0lar checklist. i #get a way heavy positive with bip0lar and the 4dhd is meh. so i think i just have overlap in symptoms due to dyslex1a and 4utism #ugh. me and my collection of diagnoses. so it goes #unrelated

I gotta stop getting into arguments with guys in youtube comment sections.

#a review for poor things popped up on my YT homepage #never seen a video from this channel before #tiny channel maybe 250 subs 700 views #anyway the guy just gave his honest opinion that he didnt enjoy the film because he find yorgos lanthimos's style hard to engage with #but was very complimentary of other aspects #acting costume and production design all that #so a fair review from an average film enthusiast but not an artsy guy #but all the comments before me were dogpiling him over using 'pretentious' #so i just left a mild comment about the negativity and how someone disliking a film you like shouldn't damage your ego so much #and now some dude's writing me essays #(granted my replies are getting pretty long cos HE'S MISSING MY POINT) #like i'm an editor don't try to school me on definitions #i get paid for this shit #anyway i just felt bad for the reviewer. literally all his comments were mean
