What exactly is Inktober? (FAQ) I mentioned that I was going to do this way, WAY back in August. I’m even writing up this post during that time period. Okay. So I’ve had plenty of time to amend this post since I first started writing it in August. I really just wanted to keep myselfContinue reading “Inktober”

Prelude to Inktober
Tomorrow’s post is about preparing for Inktober, but I thought I’d do another post about past Inktobers. I’ve considered doing it in the past and I’ve started it a few times, but I’ve never really stuck to it since my drawing is always so sporadic. It’s one of the things that helps me realize artContinue reading “Prelude to Inktober”
If You Need a Pick-Me-Up
In our DBT Discord, we’ve got a venting channel for when you’re having a hard time. Sometimes talking about your struggles can help. It’s always good though to be cautious about talking about your sadness and depression. Especially to a source outside of your therapist or psychiatrist. Focusing on it can cause you to beContinue reading “If You Need a Pick-Me-Up”
I have Evolved…
I absolutely hate thinking about what Generation I’m from, but the other day it hit me as hilariously funny. I’ve been feeling funky. I had a very specific craving. I wanted a roast beef sandwich on a baguette with some horseradish sauce and provolone cheese. Roast beef was like $7 at the grocery store soContinue reading “I have Evolved…”
Corgi Puppies
I don’t want to seem like I’m moving on quickly from the loss of Mango or Velveteen, but I’ve been brainstorming my next pet for a few years now. I’ve wanted something that will keep me active. Needing to take a dog out to potty regularly throughout the day is really useful for that. AndContinue reading “Corgi Puppies”
One Year Later
My dad – lovingly nicknamed “Mack” died Friday, September 25, 2020. He was 69. He was in hospice care at home. It’s been a year and I just honestly don’t know how I feel. This past week, I’ve been having dreams about my Dad every night. The first night, he was lingering outside our home.Continue reading “One Year Later”
Journaling
I’ve been really bad about journaling lately. I don’t always have my notebook around. But the basic exercise is supposed to help me identify my emotions. {Event > Thoughts > Emotions} versus {Events > Emotions > Thought} Describe the situation What caused the situation Primary and secondary emotions Identify your urges What did you do?Continue reading “Journaling”
Never Use a Recipe
Most of the time, when I do “Asian” food, I do not use a recipe. I so a bit of taste and test and just throw in an average amount of each ingredient. If you read the ingredients on a basic seasoning packet you buy in the store: sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, sesame seed oil,Continue reading “Never Use a Recipe”
More Halloweenie
Looks like Disney+ is totally going all out for the Halloween stuff. #Hallowstream I was trying to remember some Halloween traditions from when I was a kid. I know that we used to have this wooden holder that you could put lollipops in. We’d make ghosts using tissue paper and draw little eyes on them.Continue reading “More Halloweenie”
Inspiration from Television
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret. I almost never watch a series during it’s peak. I hate spoilers. I hate waiting for the next episode. And I often am just far too lazy. Most of the time, concerning anime, I’ve got to wait since I’ve binged my way through everyContinue reading “Inspiration from Television”
