I missed a couple days. It's been a crazy time. Had some unexpected chat time with a couple friends, and then one of them suffered a terrible loss almost immediately afterward. Still hurting for her. Hug your animal friends, yall. Had Zaide Dovid's brother in town, and while I didn't interact with him much, there was still some referred stress and concern for him since Zaide has declined so rapidly in recent weeks. Some minor frustration about Nate's sib, which is a very frequent and emotionally exhausting occurrence, unfortunately. Did some crochet squares at the in laws. It's gonna take a while for that to amount to anything, lol.
I quit the writing class. Six hours in with nothing learned is a no go for me. I'll still spend that time weekly learning and writing. I'll probably start with Brandon Sanderson's free lectures. He started updating them recently, and I never even watched the originals, so I look forward to that.
Today has been good, despite a rough start. Erica woke me up over and over last night, and Nate started his morning cleaning a huge poopy diaper. I was super tired, but we took it slow. Nate went to his parents' house, so after her nap, I went to brunch with Erica. She was super fashionable in her little matching tracksuit set and her fleece vest. She put me to shame, but I don't mind.
Had to stop by an art store after brunch, because an artist on insta made me want to reattempt watercolor. I've done a ton of digital art recently (I'll have to make a post for that) and feel like it's improved my understanding of color and light, so it also makes me want to do physical art.
I haven't used real watercolors since becoming an adult. I went to the local dick blick and grabbed a 12 set tin by qor. It's very opaque and pigmented. I appreciate that so far, although I don't know how I'll feel as I continue to learn watercolor. It's a very finicky medium. Also expensive. Art in general is stupid expensive.
I think I might've done a little calligraphy yesterday, but I can't remember. I'm blaming mom brain.
