pokemon sleep (ending a 1067-day streak)

I’ve quit Pokemon Sleep. Or, rather, I’m going on indefinite hiatus, which might be the same thing. After 1067 straight days of play, I didn’t log my sleep last night. It’s been a while coming. For the past few months, it’s been a drag to have to keep opening the app to collect ability procs, feed m...

pickle & wobbly wobby

BB thinks the word “pickle” is the funniest thing ever. This has been a thing for the past year or so. He’ll just randomly say “pickle!!” and then bust out laughing. We don’t know if this is something he picked up at daycare or if it’s his own personal joke. I don’t get it, but in a deeper sense I d...

watercolor journaling, opera pink, problem-solving

The LMA spring journaling course is officially over (the last projects dropped yesterday) and, weirdly, I’m thinking of signing up for the summer course. I say “weirdly” because I had just about decided the journal style was not my thing. The journal videos are silent, which is fine as an instructio...

esoteric ebb

6/12 HGR beat Esoteric Ebb in slightly over a day (real-time). We started yesterday evening and he finished the game tonight. Meanwhile, I was at work today. Also, I am sooo behind in-game…it’s the morning of day 3 (in-game) and I JUST found the [redacted] in the tea shop. How cooked am I. HGR was o...

one watermelon, two spinach, three berries

We spent an extra day at BB's place because, hey, birthday weekend. Around lunchtime on Monday, we went to Costco. As Mom got into the car, she recited a short shopping list: watermelon, spinach, berries. “We need three things,” I repeated to BB in the back, holding up fingers for emphasis. “One: wa...

the biggest birthday bash of 2026

What does a three-year-old know of birthdays? I don't think he understands the concept of a year, or being a year older. But he knows that sometimes people have birthdays, and then you have cake. He also knows he is three years old, NOT two or four. Dad said, "I'm also three years old. Is that right...

birthday art

So I made BB a couple of art pieces for his birthday. First, I made him a birthday card with a smiling cupcake and strawberries and blueberries. As a companion piece, I drew his New Blue House, except the house and garage are cupcakes, accompanied by ice cream cones in the backyard and a blueberry c...

june art log

The May themes in the art server were urban landscapes + pen, literally the perfect combo. It’s therefore embarrassing that I didn’t go outside to sketch a single time all month. Many days I didn’t even have the energy to step outside and take a perfunctory walk around the block, although I enjoyed ...

a trio of tales: morgana, iyazo, valentine

Here’s another area in which I actively train my brain: telling stories. One of my habitual mental pastimes is to retell stories to myself, fashioning events into narrative. For instance:  The tale of Morgana  Around five years ago, Cora wound up with too many cats. This happens frequently...

five little ducks went out to play

Woke up at 7:53 am with a massive leg cramp. No way to go back to sleep after that. Now it’s mid-morning and I’m incredibly sleepy and scatterbrained, which is unfortunate because I really need to buckle down on work. My attention span has been horrible lately. I keep shuffling around text and rewri...

ragebaiting

LD chat is incredibly toxic whenever someone mentions AI. LilDemon said they felt like ragebaiting someone, and none of their friends were online, so instead they were talking to AI (which doesn’t make sense, it’s a chatbot, it’s literally incapable of rage). Anyway the entire chat went off on them ...

crested challenge

May 16-31 is the crested challenge, in which you have to breed 20 cubs with crested manes. I expected this to be a nightmare, considering how hard it was to get just three albino cubs last December. Consider: if you breed BLSC x BLSC, there are five possible outcomes (albino, birch, eggshell, isabel...
