Every villain is a hero in his own mind

So tomorrow Charlie starts his new job and I want to make it a point to work hard too. It's Christmas in a few months and as always I want to try and buy or make things for those I love. It feels a little dumb, especially as I'm pagan and don't actually celebrate Christmas and it's all material but... yeah. Or at the least I want to work on improving my needle felting, sewing and art skills to make people some gifts.

So for the next few months I want to make myself busy, within reason of course. Ned has been helping me organize things and we're gonna make some proper lists and such tomorrow. Hopefully I can get up early like Charlie will. I don't want to feel useless or anything!

My current main projects are:

• Artwork: I still have a couple of outstanding commissions I want to get done. After that I might take some small ones on a weekly basis, or just make YCHs and adoptables. I'm really struggling sticking with a style and process that I like so I think I might spend time doing more personal work and fanart stuff. I want to try fill in at least one sketchbook a season if I can too, make a personal deadline. I have so many things to improve on.
• Crafts: I love needlefelting and doll-making but haven't really done much. This is my chance! I want to make several sculptures and models before Christmas to sell, for some extra money.
• Norsk: Jeg trenger å studere hver dag. Jeg trenger også å lære mer ordforråd, se på filmer og finn TV-programmer jeg liker. Jeg vil dinner musikk jeg liker også. Huske; duolingo og memrise hver dag!!
• Spirituality: I am currently reading through the Icelandic sagas (in English, though if I can find them in Norwegian I feel it would be closer to the source material). I am working on getting a closer relationship with Loki. I am also writing my own prayers and services for weekly prayers to Loki and Inari. I will hopefully be able to start praying daily again, at least on weekdays. 
• Fitness/Weight: I want to start doing yoga or tai chi at home, followed by a walk. I know it's going to hurt but I desperately want to lose weight and get my blood sugar under control. I struggle with schedules so I'm going to see what I can do. Little achievements, you know? I am going to change up my habitica a lot to reflect the changes. If you're reading this and you have a habitica but are not in a party, let me know by the way! I use it every day.

There's probably more, but those are my main things. So now I'm off to remodel my habitica before bed, haha. 

Also! I'm finally watching Sense8 and DAMN it's good. There's a lot of parallels between the themes and mental health stuff I'd like to talk about, but I'll leave that for when I've finished season 2.
