April update
May. 1st, 2024 07:39 pmGosh, it took a-lot for me to get up and wake up from a nap! But words won't write themselves.
The month of April came and went in what felt like a blink of an eye! I felt like socially it was a-lot, working on sketching for a CF 30 day event, my comic, creating new characters for my comic, starting to get back into doing yard work again, going through stuff for my yard sale, keeping up with regular upkeep around my home... It all felt very rushed.
I did start on some new projects - like sewing up old jeans that just had one or two little holes in them. I don't see the point in throwing them out, so I wanted to repair them and keep them. It felt good the other afternoon with all my sewing materials out and sewing, listening to videos on youtube. Eventually I have other sewing projects I want to do like fixing old purses, lunch boxes, dresses, ect. Things that I can fix up and still use rather than throw out and have to buy again.
Drawing was a good improvement. I came up with a new cast for Promised Memories. They will be showing up in chapter 14. And drawing out 30 characters/mystical creatures for the hue islands in which my story takes place was good practice.
Either this weekend or next week I want to finally write that new chapter and add the new characters into it. I'd like to get back into doing painting again next month -lets see how that goes! :-p
If I had to take a guess I would say I'm about all ready for this yard sale. Besides maybe one last look through my kitchen and then just set up on the weekend of and to wait and see what gets bought - I am one step closer to decluttering. In all honestly I should have done this a few years ago! But it's never to late to make some lifestyle changes. It's amazing how tiring it is going through stuff and making that big decision if I want it or if I can part ways with it. Most days I'm mentally prepared to do this. But once in awhile I feel sort of down and it can be harder to decide, so I wait till I'm in a better place.
I've been reading a-lot more, like usual. I feel I turn on my T.V. less and less to watch it these days. Mostly just Youtube for some background noise while I do artwork or sewing. I'm proud of myself for reading so many books to decide if I want to keep them or get rid of them for the yard sale/donate. If I keep it up, I like to think I can read 2 - 3 books a month. For someone who used to binge-watch Netflix for years I think this is a healthier choice for me. All of these beautiful books around in my house have been here for years and they are all filled with amazing stories.
Pokemon Go has been still keeping me busy. Which is a fun break from social media on my phone. Not much to report with it, other than I still love it.
I'm still keeping up writing the reviews for CF comics and trying to post 1 to 2 other entries on here to practice my writing. I truly do love Dreamwidth. It's been a nice experience. I've made a few more new friends on here which is a plus. I'm trying to go through and check on my DW friends when I don't see entries from you all. And then I go through and try to comment on a newer one or an older one, just to learn more about them. It's sort of neat to go through and read one's older thoughts.
Sapphire is doing good! She seems to like feeding time the best and is somewhat aggressive when it comes to feeding! But I've read that is normal for Crowntail Betta fish. I'm currently trying to train her to eat from a spoon since some of her pellets fall and sink quickly.
Copying the family photos from my parent's albums are still an ongoing project but have been going well. I'd like to write about that once I am done. I feel like I'm halfway done with it. I just need to label them better.
So far I think that is a good update for last month. I' hoping to get better about taking these naps of mine. Today I took a very long one and just didn't want to wake up and do anything. I felt depressed. Not as bad as other days in the past, it's just sometimes writing up my thoughts and feelings can feel tiring. Thank you guys for reading these and keeping up!
