Just a quick journal to say that I have journaled today...  We thought Tama was sick yesterday as she had a super wet nose and was basically spewing snot everywhere. I got up early today to book her an appointment but she ended up fine today so I really hope it was nothing and was just an allergy to something rather than something more sinister than cat flu. In any case, gonna keep an eye on her just in case she gets sick again... 

Today was... ok. Mood was weird and I've been tired and sick and just ok. I'm gonna try go to bed early so that I can wake up at a decent time. We'll see how it goes I guess. I wish I had some kinda sleeping pill that worked without any side effects, no extra drowsiness, hallucinations, nightmares and such... I've had a really hard time sleeping lately so yeah... that would be ideal. 

I also got Sai2 today which is great! I'm still working out brushes and stuff but I like it a lot! Hopefully I can replicate my brushes from Sai, or at least have something similar though.

Today I took Freya to the vets to get a lump removed - she did really well and is currently in the hospital cage recovering. Aside from that I didn't really do anything... I haven't draw yet but I think I'm gonna do a bit now. I forgot how exhausted I get just from a 15 minute walk. I need to get fitter, and I have been doing some light tai chi and such. Slow steps but at least I'm making them. I think I'm gonna try knock a few things off my to-do list today though they're not what I planned. Snakes and geckos need feeding and cleaning out and I got some admin stuff to do. 

I also have two trades to do so I could do sketches for though I guess, or at least thumbnails. I sometimes forget the importance of thumb nailing, especially when I just want to get stuff done. I also want to make an inventory of charms and such that I have and see about making things to sell, or selling the bits and pieces themselves.

That said, I'm really missing doing taxidermy right now so I've been thinking of getting back into that. That'd be nice I think. I might also plan out some christmas art for people hmmm. As you can tell, I really hate not being productive so I need to do something. Maybe I should make this a thing... every Wednesday I focus on passion projects and all of the other little things that I don't usually get to do. Oh, also I made my first e-juices! I speed steeped them in warm water and right now they are breathing. Gonna maybe try one later and see how I did. It was fun, one of the blunt needles actually got stuck IN the plastic bottle though, so I had to chuck that one. Oops. Guess I'd better be more careful next time! 

Aside from today though, I've had a super productive week already and I'm hoping it continues that way. I really got into bullet journalling and it's helping me a lot. I've already started maklng next week's spread! 

But yeah! I got tons to do tomorrow aaaaaah it's exciting. Last day of November! We're also gonna put the tree up because Baz is away at the weekend and Charlie's mum is visiting Saturday, so we're going to the Christmas market. I have a client I really hope pays their invoice by then - at least then I can maybe get some gifts for people.

 I can't believe it's Sunday evening already fffff. This week was mainly just me trying to recover from my eye scratch/infection so it feels like I've done nothing. I did actually manage to do a bunch of artwork but yeahh. I'm so stupidly tired at the moment, we had some drinks last night and it fucked me up. I keep forgetting that I can't really drink on these meds. I only had 3 pints but it made me feel as if I've been drinking all night. It also doesn't help that I was up until like 3am for the last few nights oooops. 

We watched Stranger Things S2 after we went out on Friday (it was SO GOOD), and we had chocolate cherry cheesecake and chinese takeaway. So yeahhh a good day! Saturday we tidied up the mess we made on the Friday and today we've just been resting mainly. I ended up waking up this morning and feeling super sick and I've just felt hungover all day. I really think I might stop drinking properly. Just need to find something else to do idk, maybe just get soft drinks or alcohol-free? Idk. 

Uhhh this week I have various things to do and I want to open commissions at the end of the week too. I'm trying so hard to make a decent entry today but I'm super super tired. Hopefully I'm gonna feel better tomorrow. Charlie has to get up at like 4am for work so I'm gonna try get up too, but who knows. Even if I get up at 7 or 8 it'd be better than the last few days. I'm just glad I can see again, so I can draw.

Oh also, I had a stupid issue with Wacom too. I tried to buy a cable for my cintiq, as my current one is fucked, and they've been out of stock for like a year. Sooo I tried to order it, only to be told my payments weren't going through. Tried my debit card, credit card, paypal, Charlie's cards, nothing. And so sent some emails to the customer service stuff, only to find that the payments are now all pending on my accounts, and has actually gone through on my credit card. It wouldn't be so much a big deal if it was a £5 cable or some shit but this is a £55 cable. 

I sent a message to capital one and they responded fast, Wacom customer service don't open till Monday so ughh. I just hope I can get it sorted out, even if it means getting Ned to call  them in Germany or wherever they are and demand they cancel the payments. Idkkk. 

Well anyways, gonna go to bed now. It took me an hour to write this because I got distracted forever by Buzzfeed Unsolved lmao
