Spent some time with pens in my hand tonight. I think the whole sketchbook wants to be weird abstract doodling.

That's okay. It's soothing, and I've noticed it lets me work on things like textures when I'm not drawing something that would make me worry about getting it right.

If anybody needs some love, my Moon Pal has plenty of #hugs to give. Moon Pals don't judge. They love because everybody should be loved.

Honestly, one of the best things I've ever bought. Weighted blankets don't do well with my claustrophobia. Weighted plushie is perfect.

And I appreciate those who can do the work to educate and inform. And those who can hold space to support people who need to let things out online.

I'm just tired of being judged for when I need to not do that, and it's so comforting to not be judged here.

#CoSoPolitics - I really just can't tonight, so what I want to say is that I appreciate that I don't have to here. The only surprising thing about the announcement was that it was so boring news outlets started cutting away. So I've been prepared for this. And I'm just thankful I'm not socially obligated to dramatically wail about it here. I need that energy for other things.

So...it seems #covid has taken most of my hearing, but only temporarily! So, I mean, don't panic like I did at first.

I have hearing loss from ear infections and surgery as a kid, but not enough for hearing aids to be considered medically necessary. Suddenly, everything sounds like I'm underwater! Likely to be fluid buildup in the middle ear. Hopefully it'll clear soon.

My cat has decided my sisters-in-law's cat is actually HER cat. She will sit glowing in adoration, looking like she is thankful to be so blessed that he came and ate from her food bowl. If he walks into the room, she suddenly lives to groom his ears. They chirp to each other in a language only they speak. #CoSoCats

My first experiment with neurographic art. I'd like to thank every Lovecraftian author whose writing encouraged me to ignore what the physical world shows me about shadows and light and just shade things however I want to. #CoSoArt

Big project starting tomorrow for an esoteric group I became a member of this year. Different from what I'm used to with OBOD - very different - but the two paths are kind of leading me to the same place.

I'm a little nervous. But I remind myself this group accepted me for who I am, not trying to make me into someone else, so I just have to do my own thing. #CoSoPagans

Finally was able to get a little time with the colored pencils today!

Realized what I'm doing is going to take more time and layers than I first thought. Giving myself permission to do smaller, quicker things and come back to it. #CoSoArt

Gatsby has decided to be my guardian today. 💜 #CoSoCats

I think my fever is trying to break. That's a good thing! Maybe I'll be able to draw again soon.

Just haven't been able to for a few days now, and I'm feeling the effects. Art is an important part of my self-care.
