@Shadami:
@Koah:
You both sound like you've been through a lot in the last year or so. I'm glad things are going better for you both right now.
Yes, you are always welcome here - to chat, to vent, to just hang out - whatever you need or want, really <3

@0v7: Yay for haircuts!

Today, I am apparently running around like a headless chicken! o_0
I'm currently mid-chili-making process... need to run to get some groceries for the next few days... trying to clean up around the house... dealing with the kids coming in and making messes... trying to decide whether or not I need or want to pick up some plastic bins to try storing or organizing things in as I declutter and reorganize ... feel like screaming a little bit just because it's a chaotic day so far.

running to get foodstuff. bbs.

@0v7: I love your confidence with the haircut! :D Motivates me to do something with my own hair.

@Wildfire: I feel the chaos today, too. Kids decided to invade my room this morning and riled up my dogs. =3='
I'm actually going out of the house today to buy bin stacking shelves! XD To organize my bins that aren't unpacked. I have a decent stack of empty bins now too. Wish I could give them to you. lol

@Koah: For me, it's easy to be happy with the results, because if I don't like it I can always let it grow out and try again :3 I did have to touch up some of what my aunt shaved with scissors - hard to explain where without pictures, but! I think it turned out good considering she's never shaved a slit in an eyebrow before :D

If you can sew, you have a cardboard box, and you have sheets or something that never get used so it's just extra material really. you can make storage bins for free/ cost of thread.

Oh i meant to say i made chili yesterday... or was it the day before. the days are still all a little blurred together. I just went out to the garage to get afternoon snacks pulled out cause i forgot to this morning. And i nearly walked into my husbands car completely forgetting that he was home napping with the baby.

I've heard somewhere that 4 hours of sleep waking up and doing stuff then getting 4 more hours of sleep is actually better for you as long as you get 8 hours in a 24 hour time window.

I tend to push that to the limit. xD you know... 4 hours at like... 3-8 ish. and then again at midnight - 6 or 7 xD kinda cycling 4 - 6 -4 -6 hour days.
so much to do. so little time. so many whiny kids who don't know how to think for themselves because they must be taught not to at school and it drives me nuts.

@0v7: I Love the look you're describing! :D OH YES PICTURES! I LOVE IT!!!! omgod. YES!!
@Shadami: Sewing bins is a good idea! I've successfully unpacked my sewing stuff. I'm making useless things right now. Getting practice in before I open up patterns. I sat last week and made little stuffed animals with my kids.

@Koah: Thank you :D I'm really happy, even if I might be possibly a bit too old for an edgy haircut like this one?? lol
Just in time for Halloween too... hehehe.

@Shadami: My husband's therapist actually told him to try that sleep cycle. To sleep when he feels like sleeping rather than forcing himself to sleep at night only.

I've been sewing bins out of cardboard and old sheets xD cause we just bought a house and were almost a year surviving on the check from the oompa loompa. xD So I'm cutting corners to get things organized and at least manageable.

also i drew a thing. and i hate it. and I'm gonna scrap it. cause i really hate it.

I don't often scrap pieces but uuugggghhhh

is it weird that for whatever reason when i saw the haircut i went "you are the avatar"

@Shadami: I feel the frustration about art tbh - might go back to the last thing I drew and redo it lol
Also! That's a compliment because the Avatar is cool - so thank you :3

True, I mean.. it's hair! There's not exactly hair police lol
I have to take SO many meds to sleep at night, and even with my new one it's kinda hard >_>

@0v7: Heck no, you're not too old for an edgy look. As long as your confident, NO one will make comments. I worked in a modeling field for several years, and it's ALL about confidence. It was an eye-opening experience. c:


Lmao, I'm so slow at typing. I write like a sentence, Talk to my kids for a few mins, come back, write another sentence. And in the end, I'm like DAMNIT I forgot to hit submit.

I have decided screw it. I can't make dolls to just sketch over to prepare a shop with pre made poses to make freebies faster.
The sketch is to terrifying in my style. I'm horrified. Doomed for the garbage bin.

I'll just set a 30 minute timer or something on all art pieces to make sure i actually get posting time as well.

@Koah: You're right! I feel a lot more confident with cool hair honestly. Before the haircut I didn't have any shaved designs 'cause the previous one grew out lol

I should be doing DV dailies but I'm distracted today >w>;

My kids are thankfully all preoccupied with things i tasked them to do. so i could flee into my office for a monster and quiet posting time.

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

I did a couple of the DV dailies today, but, it's .. not keeping my attention. :O
I took a bit of a break from my digital stuff. My pen went wonky on me during the move. I can't afford a new pen. And I'd just rather have a whole new drawing tablet.


My kids are currently taking a break from school and sitting at the table with me. Chewing, obnoxiously, on crunchy snacks. o_e I woke up anxious, so the kids are a little extra annoying for me today. I need to find a way to calm myself down. :d
