obligatory acknowledgement of the passage of time and well wishes to all!


lots happened this year.


hit the big 3-0 and started turning grey, making me officially "old as dirt" according to children.

participated in possibly my last artfight ever due to the dramatic(as in overblown and messy) change in leadership.

formally said goodbye to my grandma and husband's grandpa.

husband got kicked out of the navy and will be starting his new job doing the same damn thing but with actual human rights instead of as a piece of government property in a few weeks.

saw the redwoods, which was one of the most important things on my bucket list.

took on a brief temp job and learned some new skills with the husband.

got an actual doctor and started treatment for my acid reflux.


and i'm still in love with the digital voodoo doll wizard from my childhood after rediscovering him about a year ago now.

going forward i plan to do very little differently since i am literally always doing my best, but i suppose i'll say i intend to get back to art, including plushies and writing, and that i'm trying a new thing with the husband to help train him to think, which is going well so far.
