Some peoples' kids, I swear.
I wonder if fire cupping would help make my pain go away. Or maybe blood cupping. Or acupuncture.
I think I might see a massage therapist this month. Or a chiro. I gotta try something. My meds aren't working and the THC gummies make me weirder than normal. How much weirder you ask... I start typing on my phone and it starts normal and then I start saying things that sound like Shakespeare era stuff.
I am gonna conduct an experiment... I am gonna eat half of the biggest gummy I've got and I'm gonna either write poetry or sculpt something with my air dry terra cotta clay. It's just an experiment. I think it's going to be fun. Maybe next weekend.
My neighbor who has cancer came over cuz we were under a tornado warning and she got scared. She came into our unit and we talked about how she's falling down a lot and she hurt her knees. Eventually the warning subsided and Pauley walked her out...
She thought I couldn't hear her when she whispered to Pauley "I need your help as my caregiver." Pauley can hardly take care of me and herself. I'm not ok with it. But our neighbor was high and drunk when she got here.
I'm exhaustipated.

Childhood dreams
I found old drawings I made when I was 6.
While I analysed it I realised that I identified with the dragon.
So now I wondered what kind of dragon would stay true to the old drawing and yet represent my current self. Soon I discovered that the dragon I drew resembled a dragon I really liked from Httyd (my childhood series). I looked it up and the personality description matched.
So I decided to redraw it.
Here are the results.
For anyone wondering, here is the link to the dragon: Prickleboggle (Franchise)
Prickleboggle (Franchise)
The Prickleboggle is a Mystery Class[1] dragon that first appeared in School of Dragons as a Sharp Class dragon. Prickleboggle eggs are typically oval in shape, much like most avian eggs. They are lime green in color with several brown spots studding the surface. In Dragons: Rise of Berk, the brown spots are raised, almost appearing like stone nuggets embedded on the shell. In School of Dragons, the egg is similar but with smaller and more brown spots. It very much resembles a Terrible...

I made a decision
I'm not going back to art group. I've missed 4 months already and I just don't have the energy to draw anymore. I was gonna bring my noise cancelling headphones so I wasn't gonna socialize anyway. I'm looking for crafting groups online cuz I want to do more sewing. I also really want to find a pottery studio where I can do some sculpting. I have always loved working with clay.

Art class
Had fun at art class last night. Had fun drawing trees. For the first time, after a fruitless attempt to draw a tree from my phone, I stopped trying and started playing about, drawing trees from my mind instead. Particularly proud of this one. It reminds me of EH Shephard's 100 acre wood illustrations (though not as complex - he was a brilliant artist ☺️)

Petrified Forest Photo #6 #ArtTherapy #Depression #Anxiety
Here is the last photo, for now. It is also of the old Studebaker. One of the doors is missing it's exterior panel and this is the window gear inside. I like the industrial, rusted shapes and patterns.

Petrified Forest Photo #5 #ArtTherapy #Depression #Anxiety
Here is photo 5. There is an old, rusted Studebaker that used to be just on the side of the road. Now it is mounted on concrete pillars with no wheels as a Route 66 marker.

Petrified Forest Photo #4 #ArtTherapy #Depression #Anxiety
Here is photo 4. It is 3 petroglyphs from Martha's Butte, the spiral looking one is called a solar marker and during the summer solstice at sunrise the marker is half in shadow. The one on the left I don't know what it is. The bottom one looks like an old cell flip phone lol!
