My day has been good, hectic but good.
I went for an outing with my mom and my sister. It went well for the most part. Got into a bit of a heated debate with my mom about different things like racism and transphobia. And she bought me some more cream cheese so I can make more of my delicious blueberry cream cheese wontons. Which I'm super happy about because those things are delicious! I want to figure out a better way to fold them because some of them leak really badly. I usually do it in these little pillow shapes which didn't bust open the first time I made them but almost all of them busted this time. Maybe it's because I put a lot of cream cheese in these? I don't know, but I feel like the folding is at least partly to blame and they don't look as pretty as I would like either. Maybe I'll look up a tutorial and that will give me an idea on how to do it properly.
I saw an author on YouTube doing a writers 75 hard challenge and I really liked the way that she put it, like it's just a changing your life in 75 days challenge by setting a series of goals to complete during that time. You know that I love setting goals and making trackers and all that and I really need to get my shit together. I want to do things like finish my book, go to college, write more in my different substack series, finish my comic, and maybe finish a couple comics, and a whole lot more. I think I should journal about this so I can really plan out what things I want to do. But I think I'm really going to do it. I'll start on Monday since that is the 20th and it feels right to start on a that number and on a Monday.
I brought Henry home, which feels like a blessing because I have missed him so much. My sister said that he actually made things a lot easier for her while he was up there. He was clean, helped with chores, helped keep his cousins in line, and was very well behaved. I'm glad that it was good for everyone during this time but I need him home with me. I can't deal with him being gone for that long. He's never been gone for that long before, I mean I know he was just up the road but it felt like he was miles away and I was going through such weird sleep and sickness that I ended up barely seeing him during this time. I'm just so so happy that he's home. We had an amazing dinner cooked by Phil which was burgers and fries. It all came out perfectly and was absolutely delicious. It's been a few hours now and I'm a bit hungry. I want something sweet but we don't have any sweets unless I make something and I don't feel like it right now.
Even though it's 1am, I could totally eat some food and do a little writing or reading. I wish I could put my book onto a different device so I could read it without being able to edit. Maybe I can download it on my ipad. That might make it easier for me to read and then I'll go faster.
I finished the inking for the whole first chapter of FLUFF and I was really happy with the results until I noticed that I totally fucked up Carlotta's outfit and two of the three bullies. So, yeah I have to go in and redraw a little bit of the inking but it's not too bad. The bullies are only in a few more panels on the next page that I have to change the clothing on. There is a lot of Carlotta that I have to fix but turning the overalls dress into regular overalls is pretty damn easy. It will be a bit easier than this current page I'm working on because I colored the whole thing before I figured out that the outfits were messed up. I really thought I gave her a dress because her character likes to wear a lot of skirts and dresses, but I guess not. I'll fix that tomorrow.
I think I'll use analog means to journal about the 75 hard challenge I'm doing. Maybe I'll use my big pink notebook for all of this. Well I don't know if I want to do that for the brainstorming part to keep it clean but I could use it for the trackers and goals and what not.
Phil made us burgers again and they are amazing. It's so nice that both of us are really good cooks. He and my whole family says I'm an amazing cook, and they say that about Phil too and I do too. I think about being a chef sometimes. My son tells me that I should be a chef all the time. It's really nice that he says that about all the stuff I make. I have been making some bomb shit lately. Wontons of all sorts, pizzas, chicken and I have some plans for more good shit too. I can't wait. I've really been loving cooking and baking again.
Okay I'm going to do some brainstorming for my 75 hard challenge and keep working on getting my shit together.
