And I'm not sleeping like basically at all because the migraines hurt too much to let me sleep... So I'm getting like 2-3 hours of sleep a night and I'm passing out while doing stuff only to wake up almost immediately again because the pain is unbearable.

I've been putting a lot of effort into my job. But a new manager tried to slam me for getting sick when he misread my email... And now I'm not really feeling like I should be forcing myself to work while I'm in pain.

I've had a cycle of migraines for like 2-3 weeks now... And I'm sick.

I hate #windows11 >:( bloated ugly mobile-lookin ass OS built for toddlers who'll tolerate anything.

Well I don't tolerate it! I'll gut it and make it work how I want it to work. I'll pry the AI slop from its code with my own teeth if I have to.

I'm sad that I didn't get to have a fancy dinner with my family last night and just ate a can of soup.

I got sick and couldn't spend it with my dwindling family without risking their health.

another thing you can probably check out if you just wanna peruse the internet in general is sites like Cloudhiker. you plug in the kinds of things you wanna see, and it'll spit a random website with that theme at you. I have found a few cool websites worth bookmarking through it!

Another from the WIP vault

One more overpainting of an older drawing, but this changed pretty drastically from the initial concept. Redrew the face, and I'll probably do the same with the hand (one might argue I should just start a new drawing, but I like to suffer)

In-progress painting of Malyck from Guild Wars 2 wielding his "Crything Thorn" dagger while grinning toward the viewer.

Sometimes you'll look back on your old art and think it's good, as good as what you could do today even, and be disheartened about lack of improvement. Don't be though! Often, improvement comes in the form of consistency. More successes and less struggle is very important :>

Took a while but I managed to finally finish something and of course it's of my fave DnD OC the shitty triton pirate himself Dhavias.

Slowly recovering and getting back into art!

In other news the fingers I accidentally... peeled (I wish there were other ways to describe it...) on my dominant hand have finally healed up enough that holding pens isn't painful anymore! Still a bit sensitive but otherwise fine.

Kirstenly @kirstenly.bsky.social · 8d

Either way, my throat has been RAW since the new project started. And talking for an hour non-stop in a customer service voice is probably killing me. Lol

Kirstenly @kirstenly.bsky.social · 8d

Am I getting sick, or is work making the paperwork they want me to go through verbally far too long? I won't know til the project is over or I get horribly ill and can't leave my bed. Whichever happens first is the answer.

And like okay maybe it's rude but sometimes like... I know the next step of what we are doing is gonna take an hour... And I know you're gonna complain about it taking too long, and I REALLY just need to know if you updated your drivers... Without the 10k facts about your mom's breath.

Kirstenly @kirstenly.bsky.social · 9d

people who answer simple yes or no questions with a dissertation and a power point frustrate me. like did you or did you not eat dinner today, Rebecca? I didn't ask for a life story.

I wish mastodon allowed images bigger than a thumbnail. It's honestly hot garbage for visual artists.

i think think this may be the first time i have ever drawn my own #OC for fun since i was like maybe 17? Its usually just everyone else's characters. I just doodled a bunch of #dnd characters I never got to do much with.

Tihn is a wizard pretending to be a bard, the vibes will ALWAYS be off...
