@Koah: Yeah, they might be able to do it for you on an impromptu basis in the office. I called a local pharmacy and scheduled an appointment. It was a finger prick and took less than ten minutes to show results. :3

Yeah, it was good getting out of the house, but I'm a little out of it today - I'm a little tired and unfocused.

I like the changes to your avatar - it's cute! <3

@Wildfire: I'm working on a halloween/autumn avi. but, I feel like it's missing something. So for now, I'll stick to my favorite items, the wings, and space stuff n' whatnot.
That's actually amazing that it's such a quick test for the antibodies. I've had to do covid tests in the past and there was always a 24+ hour waiting period for an answer.

@Koah: Yeah, the antibody test is faster than the covid test from what I've seen (unless maybe you do one of the expensive instant tests).
I should start working on a Fall or Halloween avi too but not today. I'm sure you'll figure something out and it'll all come together :3
How are you feeling? Have you found gentle things to eat for that sensitive tummy of yours?

@Totalanimefan: Well, maybe you can tag team then while you recover :3
What was one of your favorite things that you did while you were here visiting?

@Totalanimefan: that sounds like a wonderful visit... and a true friend. That's awesome. <3
What are you gonna make for dinner? I was just thinking about what to make - and realized that I have to scramble a little bit because I forgot to defrost something! Oops.

@Wildfire: I was up very late watching squid game.

we just can't afford any as we have already two people with very nice smart phones.
and my dad is not working. so...it's hard to pay for one right now when it's hard to get hired without risking your life
and getting covid.

so im using my sister's old phone. which is not very good.
but it at least allows me to use paypal+upload to IG.

as paypal will not let me access it unless i add a phone number.
which i don't have lol but on my phone it allows me to skip it.

@Totalanimefan: lol - oh wow... but yeah, I know that feeling (my dad/stepmother were the same way). I don't understand how people can live that way, tbh. Dinner sounds good. I think I'm going to keep it simple too - chicken and cauliflower sheet pan mix.

@MoodyB: I'm sorry to hear that your father isn't working...and that you seem to have a workaround for not having a phone.

@Wildfire: im used to it lol.
yeah because of his age he has to work part time but a lot of people right now just want full time
which he cannot do.

so it's hard. and our rent is supposedly going up too.
and after everything that's happened it's just not a great time.

@Wildfire: hopefully. all i can do is improve art skills
and hope someone sees my art and likes it enough to commission me so i can help out just even a little bit.

I was going to buy an art book to help me improve my hands, but amazon charges like $6 for shipping.

@MoodyB: Art is good. If you can get commissions for it, that's good too. :3 <3
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for with that book (send me the title?), but have you looked up "hand anatomy for artists" (or something similar) on google, etc.? Maybe you can get some guidance to help you that way?

@Wildfire: everything with hands on the internet just isn't helping me.
so that's why i am planning to buy books.
nothing is helping at all with my progress.

@MoodyB: I'm about to go offline for the night (as you know, I was back online at 3am my time and the wonky sleep schedule is catching up with me now that it's 7:30pm), but what kind of help are you looking for? What book were you looking at? What kind of thing do you need help with? Can I assist you somehow?

@Wildfire: it's nothing anyone can really assist/help with.
just because my brain works in a very complicated manner.

Been in art for over 3 years and any tutorial or helpful thing i find just...does not help.
feels like it often skips steps, and so on.

So books are my only choice.
and that way i can read them and understand them whenever.

my ADHD does not really make things easy for me to learn.

but i'll eventually afford them.
was planning to eventually get two since they are affordable.
and one is simple forms and the other is hands and feet. so that'll help when i can get them.

@MoodyB: Ok. I thought I'd ask (no harm in doing that, right?). Hopefully you'll be able to get the books soon :3

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone is waking up to (or having) a Wonderful Wednesday!

Since I haven't done one of these in a while... it's RANDOM QUESTION Time!
So -------------------> If you were offered the position of mayor of your city, would you take it?

@Totalanimefan: good morning. Oh, that sounds like a bad combination - dirty + complaining + passive aggressive. It must work for him on some level, though. Still...

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's a transitional generation - young enough to have made the transition to more equal thoughts and behaviors if he chose, but old enough to have the old ways embedded. It's tough being at the crux of changes like that, imo. That sounds rough, though - sounds like a LOT of cleaning needed to be done!

Oh, my agenda includes trying not to burn my eyeballs out working on very small things that are giving me a headache and eyestrain, cooking (later), maybe setting up some solar motion-sensor lights outside, maybe working on a project or two, and if I'm lucky, hanging out in a hammock for a while (doubt I'll get to that point, tbh, but it's a nice thought).

What about you? What's on your agenda for the day?

@Totalanimefan: oh, that sounds really bad! ...ewwww...

I got my work done for now. There's more that I could have -probably should have- done but I did what I could. :3

Good to know. The lights I bought I got from Lowe's, but they sound similar. We are going to put them up in the back yard - maybe it'll keep the raccoon out of my compost bin - lol!

That's unfortunate with the window company - it's often so much easier for them just to get the permits than it is for each home-owner to do it, but I have run across companies that don't pull the permits for their work.

ALL the food? oh no! That's a learning experience, isn't it?
