Started the day with a seizure. It can only go two ways from here. Any amount of "better" is a blessing, or going down from there makes for great stories to tell in the future.

Had to pull out a whole day of knitting and start over. Halfway done, but then noticed a mistake at the beginning that would compromise the stability. Tried to do a "work around fix"...but, nope.

Starting over! Keep your fingers crossed for me. Maybe that'll hold stitches together. 😄

Actual things said in our house tonight...

"What is psytrance?"
"Look up the group Infected Mushroom."

I'm kind of surprised that I like their cover of "Black Velvet"!

After several days of serious house cleaning, I'm going to glare very angrily at the next person who leaves a mess.

The whole book goes through each letter of the alphabet, and those are actual comments I wrote on each page. You just need to recognize the cypher I used.

My book made it back to me! I did this several years ago for the Brooklyn Art Library's Sketchbook Project. Sadly, they have to close. But I was able to get my book sent back to me! It survived a fire at the library, I've moved to a different state than where I lived when I did it, and now we're together again. Praise Lake Monster!

Holy clean floors, Batman!

My body has made mopping not an option, and we live in an old school with lots of hard floor. I got a Hoover FloorMate. It cleans my floors! It's like pushing a slow vacuum. I can mop my floors again!

I have recently fallen in love with the song "Annan Water". The chorus just...look, we will all meet our end eventually. Making a deal with the water seems like a good idea.

"If you calm
And let me pass
You may render me a wreck
When I come back

So calm your waves
And slow the churn
And you may have my precious bones
On my return"

I think this is the best drawing of Azathoth I've done. Probably one of my best Lovecraft Mythos drawings.

I also have no idea how anyone would know if it wasn't. I mean, it's not like we can agree on cheekbones, facial hair, etc with this.

I've been spending a lot of time lately making really weird art. That's actually a good thing. It's one of my self-care tactics. I'm going to make it through this cycle of depression.

Just want to point out...
I should not be awake at this time.
Have not had enough sleep.
For unknown reasons, I am awake at this time...the time in which I should be sleeping.

If I was a Care Bear, I'd be Grumpy Bear right now. An enchanting blend of "So cute!" and "Give the bear some space, sweetie!"

So, I'm drawing a picture of Azathoth...
I say to my husband, "You were supposed to keep me controlled and practical." (He snorts!) "Does illustrating Lovecraftian cosmic horror look controlled and practical?"

He looks at the page and nods. "It takes patience and skill to draw those lines."

He encourages my weirdness every chance he gets. 😍

My sister-in-law told me about the Star Tracker app last night. Now I keep sending screenshots of interested constellations. She knew what she was doing when she gave an #autistic person a new toy.

We can't see the green comet, but we did see Mars! And I got to stand outside with my husband and his sister and make jokes about Uranus being a big gas giant. And I saw the Great Bear! 💜 And I learned there's a dragon in the sky!
