redstringraveni've never related more to the first ten seconds of sabrina carpenter's manchild music video. just... "[cute but ominous giggle] oh boy ✨", girl, same. dropping out of this moving vehicle sounds: pretty good.
it likely goes without saying that this month has been: rough. in the most... vague-for-my-own-sanity way that i can put it. i've been angry a lot, not helped by a lot of the neck/shoulder pain i've been dealing with. these things are PROBABLY somewhat related; i've changed how i've been sleeping and that alone has been helping a bit along with nightly stretches before bed and my heating pad being a second skin.
all this to say: i don't really have a sketchbook sunday this week. i've still been making progress on nyxram's profile in the mornings, but, between the neck pain and my barely bridled rage, i haven't really been able to commit to cool down sketching after work.
in other updates: the winter storm's rolled through. so far the birds and i are doing alright; the apartment's drafty, but i insulated the window and balcony door in the main room with trash bags and duct tape and that seems to be helping keep temperatures steady in there. my biggest concern is keeping the two of them from getting chilled. keeg got chilled last year, and i'd rather not make another drive through the iced roads to get one or both of them to the emergency vet.
think that's all i got right now. apologies for such a grouchy update jfklsdj. hope y'all are hanging in there, staying warm and staying safe. watch out for each other. 💜
