Monday

Hi. It’s been a long but good day. Classes have resumed and we’re all communicating via Zoom. I got hit with a wave of exhaustion after critique ended despite sleeping well and feeling energized earlier. Now I’ve reached the point in the night where I’m tired but restless, classic combo.

My jewelry dish, post it’s, and airplane wine I refuse to open

Goods from Sprouts

I had to stand in line outside, which sounds like standard operating procedure now. Not shown: Oatly Oatmilk

My good hat

My relatively new Carhartt hat. I’ve developed a love for baseball/Dad caps but realized I’m particular about the ones I get. A lot of them don’t comfortably fit my gigantic phat baby head. This one can help me pretend I’m a handy-person that works hard

Salmon bowl

I think I haven’t been nourishing myself properly the past few days. I wanted something filling with fresh veggies. This contains homemade pickled veggies, a tahini yogurt sauce, a bed of chickpeas/quinoa/lentils/leftover rice/carrots, and some crumbled shio koji salmon. I’m proud of it, honestly. Came out great.

Nightcap

Hot sake with dinner the other night as well as tonight. I put a small amount of water in it to smooth it out. Heat cheap sake up to make it easier to drink.

The above set of photos are from (most) of my day today. I went grocery shopping in the morning. I had a light breakfast then a light lunch before class, passed out for a few hours after class, cobbled together dinner, and now I’m sitting at my desk. I’m sipping hot sake and questioning if I mess myself up by painting for a few hours or if I should just go to bed.

All I managed to do today. I used my new Tombows. Need to find my blending stumps

Not gonna lie, it’s been weird. Duh, obviously. But it comes in stronger some days than it does others. I know this is just reality, but I want to make sure I don’t get lost in the malaise. And I know it’s silly to say goodnight since someone could read this at any point in the day… but goodnight.
