Saturday

On day two of brain fog and I'm over it. Not sure what brought it on but around 2pm yesterday my body decided to cease being capable of thought. Can't concentrate on anything for more than five or so minutes. Even conversation is tricky. At the same time my body feels really restless and I had trouble sleeping last night. So tedious.

I enjoy watching the videos for the paint sketchbook class, though. Haven't had the energy to actually paint, but the videos are nice. Most of them so far are just her paging through her sketchbooks, putting down a layer or two here or there, and showing how she uses some of her favorite products. It's like ASMR if ASMR made you want to create an art supply wishlist (topping mine right now are these Stabilo crayons), Here's her YouTube channel if you want to see the sort of stuff she does. It's similar to my style--a messy, multi-media "keep layering until you like it" approach.

Ok this took me twenty minutes to write so I think that's it.

I'm sorry you're suffering and I hope things get better soon for you. Thank you for the link to the art maker. I'm flat on my back with covid right now (given to me by a thoughtless relative, boo), and her videos sound like just the thing.

Thanks, bb.

My wrist pain flared up a few days ago and I thought it was from scrubbing the oven top, but I wonder if it was (also?) a warning sign of some more general inflammation. Something to watch out for and note in the future.

That sucks so much about the thoughtless relative infecting you. Hope you get some inspiration from Suzanne. 🫂🫂🫂

In recent years I've noticed that I get pain in my joints before an illness or flare, so, yeah, it can be a thing. Healing vibes to both of us.

I hope tomorrow's better! *hugs* So frustrating.

After morning meditation I worked in my studio a bit and that felt really nice. Body's telling me very loudly it's time to sit down now though 😅

I hope the brain fog is better today!! That's the worst feeling of brain fog and restlessness. Sending over lots of *hugs*!!!

Thank you! And yes, such an annoying combo, ugh.
