Hair is a bitch with pixels istg

I love ermines so much. I want to raise ermine awareness.

A Least Bittern kicks cattails out of the way as he takes flight to another part of the lake.

Consistently long days of being at my desk from 8:30am til 6:30pm.

20+- min pen/ink study.

I swear it sounds like I have a bunch of pigeons in my stomach.

12 min pen study

Breakfast

Got 3.5 hrs of sleep this last night/this morning, got up at 8:30, sat at my desk until 4:30, napped for an hour on the couch. Eating dinner, then bed. I hope I crash.

I feel like I'm constantly in that state of mind of just waking up from anesthesia. I can focus like a mf'r on one thing for -hours- but my brain will be soup the whole time.

For those of you with cats, how is your desk and surrounding area set up (desk, walls, shelves, etc. set up to let your cats stay nearby? Can you share photo's please?

God I just want to cry. Please share something stupid for me. Anything to ground me.

I deeply miss having fish. But I know I can't keep them anymore, I just cannot be reliably functional enough to handle an aquarium anymore. And the idea of my fish dying for any reason just really puts me off. But, if I could? I'd probably have a tank full of ember tetras again.

How I feel. Honestly? Really lonely. Like, deeply. I have no friends here. I have my husband's family, but see them once in a blue moon. I don't mind being alone, I've always been a loner type. I prefer to just listen to people and watch. But, the loneliness has hit very, very hard recently.

There's this worrisome thought that keeps grabbing my spine and telling me I shouldn't talk about how I feel. I can't decide if that's for the best or not.

Where are you mentally?

I'm so tired. I'm having to supplement with my gabapentin and buspirone alongside the lithium so I don't have breakdowns. It's really rough. But at least I'm up at 7am and slowly return to my routines. Even if I feel like sobbing.

Today's study.

Dr wants me to take 300mg lithium 2x day, am/pm. I'll see how it does every 12 hours, because today I was in pure hell.

I've been up since 7:30, how the hell is it already almost noon-thirty?

30 minute sketch study.

Say 'ello to my leetl frend

Lithium level check from this morning was at 0.33. Last time was 0.16. Still considered extremely low, but at least it's only somewhat extremely low now.

I have a cold. This is stupid. I have things I wanted to do.

Jk I have a cold.

I landed about 3 hours of sleep. Now to figure out how to manage my day before I stare at pixels.

As a related note: Due to the fact I am trying to find mental stability on my new meds, I won't be actively scrolling through posts. After what I already heard from my husband about what's going on and with all the shit happening I just...I need to be selfish for now and take care of myself.

When I wake up, I'm up, whether I want to go back to sleep or not. And I can't seem to -stop-. I am getting way more done in a single day than I'm used to, one thing after another. I'm a bit concerned that I may have a severe crash because of it, though.

My Sun Dragon as I continue to try to understand what in the cosmos she looks like.

Yeah, I don't like that feeling when my meds start wearing off because I go from being mentally stable to a steep decline into depression. I suddenly want to cry, I feel absolutely -alone-, completely devastated, and just...It's not good. I hope the lithium builds in my system so the sad stops.

Reminder that feeding your cats raw food at this time is NOT safe. The speed at which cats go from a light fever to dying of pneumonia or neurological symptoms is just a few DAYS. I lost 2 cats to this in March and had around 20k in medical bills to save 2 others who were hospitalized.

I have: - Dug up dock, burdock, and thistle roots from neighbor's yard. - Pet said neighbor's dog 4? times. - Pruned to shape 2 mulberries. - Slowly watering veg row along driveway. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm pretty slow and exhausted today. But, at least I did a few things!

Hmm. Just found a dead field mouse in the driveway, only maybe an hour or so old since death. If that. It wasn't totally in rigor mortis. Buried it in the backyard flower bed.

Last post for the day then I'm going to sleep. Husband found this and was like, "Wow, it's you." And I was like, "Damn. It Me." www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/f...

@zambuka.bsky.social Thank you for being number 1k 🎉🎉🎉

what FLAVOR is your SONA/OC?

I'm on 400mg of gabapentin and sore af after managing the yard today. I wish I had an extra 100mg to knock it out of the ballpark. Shoulders are burning, back is 100% done. Legs are on strike. Woof.

Summer Vs Fall . #photomo25 #photography #Nature #photoart #photos

I will say I almost got run over again by a pair of chipmunks going high speed racer through the yard. I guess I'm just furniture now.

My doctor sent me a message saying my lithium levels (blood test) are considered too low, so over the next several weeks we are slowly increasing from 300mg to 450mg, then another blood test to check.

What if I just draw my story / comic however the fuck I want without following the usual rules and have fun instead?
