appendicitis

Sooo BB’s in the ER with appendicitis. Saturday morning he was totally fine. We read books together; he swung on his trampoline bar and played with blocks and asked me to draw a sandcastle; I taught him to play hide-and-seek. By late morning he was winding down, and he had an early nap at noon, a bi...

where are daredevil covers when you need them

We’ve got a new ancient, vigils, and the hatchlings are devastatingly ugly. Starts things on a bad foot to see THAT crawling out of a clanbound egg. People have been clamoring for an ugly hatchling for a while; I don’t get it, but I guess they’re happy now. I’m not fussed about the hatchling form—th...

a colorful portfolio

It’s wild how motivating the Good Morning watercolor journaling course has been, despite me not really following it. Every day I’m like “what should I watercolor today?” and I’ve been putting brush to paper most days. Sometimes twice a day—I’ll do something in the afternoon, and then in the evening ...

blob painting | outside the bubble

Last night I watched a vid by a new (to me) artist, creationsceecee. It was titled “blobs to florals” so of course I had to check it out. It was a large-scale project. The artist worked at it on-and-off for a week. For a painting that started as loose blobs of color splashed around the page, it beca...

the tigon quandary

why is LD so RUDE to people who just want a cool hybrid kingMale hybrids can’t pass. Otherwise everyone would get one. That’s fine though; I just want one for cool factor.Hybrids are born with one-tenth of the stats they would otherwise get. Harsh, but not a dealbreaker, since I patrol my heirs. A 1...

going off-recipe

There’s a recurring online meme of people who don’t follow recipes and then complain about the results. For instance, “I thought this recipe sounded good but had too much fat, so I reduced the fat by two-thirds and replaced the eggs with applesauce and replaced the breadcrumbs with chia seeds and it...

good morning llamas

So I got the Let’s Make Art Good Morning Spring Journaling Course. It’s described as “art journaling,” but it’s really just about establishing a daily art habit, which I already have. I signed up anyway because I’ve enjoyed so many of their free videos and want to support them and was craving more c...

spring bb fest 2k26

Brother and his wife moved house a couple weekends ago. The new place is a big two-story house with a basement. Now my parents get a guest room. I’m still sleeping on the couch, but it’s in the basement, which is much nicer than the middle of Grand Central Station. They plan to get a new couch for t...

spring cleaning

Also speaking of daily life activities, I’ve been cleaning the house, since Dad will be here on Friday. He’s mostly here to pick me up for a weekend at brother's place, but there’s enough slack time in the schedule for him to tut about the state of the house, and I wanted to give him a minimum of am...

dying of a sprained ankle

Medical malpractice cases are so freaky. For instance: A 30-year-old sprains her ankle while bowling. She goes to the hospital, gets a boot put on, etc. Over the next week she goes to various follow-up appointments. Eight days after the ankle sprain, she’s found collapsed in the parking lot outside ...

the oath pt. 2 (a monk and a chicken)

After a couple days taking a break from PoE2, I’ve calmed down about the whole thing. It helps to get a little perspective. First of all, last night, meisnewbie (brilliant physicist and undisputed god gamer) streamed PoE2. He just reached endgame on his monk and was attempting a tier 3 corrupted nex...
