Start apron 
Doodles
Work out 
Get tasks for the week
Emote for zanzer

11am: i mean, i went through some stuff yeterday and wrote down things to look at for the next week. I might have to ping the producer and have him help me with these things. I dont really get what sort of stories they want me to write up and keep track of... because everything I'm doing is pretty much 1) checking that stuff is in as it should be 2) writing up bugs and checking those. So I don't know what sort of NEW stories I need to write for myself???? These kinds of things leads me to thinking I'm not suited for lead roles too.

I worked out a bit, but it was a lot of back stuff which started to hurt a bit much, so I went through like 2 sets?? 

I also got a first test of the emote done, so i'm waiting on feedback. Someone I did some work for also hit me up with a question, but didnt state what the question was @.@ 

I'm not sure what to do with myself... I should really start my arpon... I've been putting it off... 

3:30pm: man I do not want to work on the apron lol sigh

VACUUM 

11:30am:  Whew! Rolled out of bed a tad later than desired, but the pug didnt need out until then, so whatever. Calling to cancel the twc internet was actually pretty easy. I remember it being a bit of a challenge when we moved from CA, but it took like a total of 15 minutes or something between hitting dial and hanging up. I do feel like the fabric I got for the orphanage dress is a bit lighter than I wanted, but um.... just gonna roll with it. I'll finish it and see how I feel about it and decide if I need to redo it with new fabric or not. I do feel like it's a bit light in terms of fabric weight and color. First cosplay, not gonna worry about it too much. 

Working out this morning was a huge challenge for me!! It was just hard to do; between my hair bouncing around and for some reason it just felt a tad harder to breath. But I made it through. Yay. 

I've got the zipper done on the cosplay, and taking a break before I start the waist band. I dont know if i'll get to hemming it tonight or not. Now maybe I'll finally vacuum after like 3 weeks @.@

 Okay! July has not been Great in terms of Getting Stuff Done. I was in a holding pattern for a lot of it; waiting for fabric, waiting for my machine to be fixed... but that should mostly be over now. I am still waiting on getting the 3d printed vorpal blade, but I got plenty to work on instead. That said, all that waiting had for sure killed the Productivity Kick I was on. I'm now trying to get back into that swing of things; making plushies, making art, etc. 

Speaking of art, I bought a cheap sketch book to just fill up with doodles. My large strathmore is getting  bit full, and while I have a small one and half, i feel like with it the sketches need to be more intended, than what I really need to do for myself right now. I'm using the cheap one with a ballpoint pen and just working on filling the pages up. Just kind of doing whatever i feel like sketching, good or bad, random, etc. 

I've gotten to some DR appointments and hopefully with those changes I can get my face and other things, and get on the mend with that. 

I've been trying to work out; it was going well enough, but then I took a rest day once too many, and starting over. I still need to do my work out for the day.....

I know the last review I mentioned something about being on hold on everything...  

But I think I've been feeling really good; other than a few days were I was really down, but I would say good in terms of mood. 

I've been spending too much money lately... donating to people, buying stuff for myself, on top of the stuff for sewing/cospaly. I really need to reign it in. 

 um qa stuff. See notebook and opened tabs on laptop
 finish bats!!!
get gingerale
dinner for hubs

wash baron

11:30am Yeah! Went out and got all my errands done, came home and washed the pug. Got a bit of time before I start hubs dinner, and then going to do my QA work. I havent been working as much on my sewing as I would have liked to, but it is coming a long I want to finish the two bats I have started before I start on my cosplay pieces. The bats will probably be done this weekend. 

 QA work
- 3 hours!!!
- broad general testing
- look for more account error bugs

Brown skirt sewing!! (or bats??)
vacuum
#$*& ZT dog twitch emote for hubs
work out



No seriously, get some sewing done. Nearly all the fabric is gathered (minus white apron fabric) so you got a lot to do. Do it.

12:30pm: got through an hour of QA work. Doing some art stuff. Feeling a bit overwhelmed. TWO PEOPLE have hit me up TODAY for twitch stuff. Going to set up a commission and example pages for that stuff I think. Since I didnt discuss or list pricing with these two people first, I dont think I'll charge them unless they ask about it. 

Then im going to do another hour of QA work, and then do some plushie sewing, to test out the singer. 

 Call Archies - no i dont have a spool holder cap, yes I have a normal shank and foot.
Finish boob?
brown skirt pattern
groceries - chicken
dust
vacuum

APPOINTMENT 11 AM



3:30pm: Rather crazy morning! hung out around the house, then to the appointment, since it's most likely hormonal and I havent really done anything, she said to try some specific products, and see how it is in 3 months. So After my appointment I went to do that, but people were texting me/sent me FB messages (when I said to text me!!!!!) so that stressed me out some, and then got gas, and then my machine and I failed at bringing my checkbook or cash orz luckily they were like "we can just write you a bill and you mail it to us" so I did that, and then lunch with friend!! THhat was good, then the grocery store, and then grabbing smoothies so I was out of the house for like 3-4 hours. But I feel in a super good mood right now. 

I still have to bring my sewing machine up from the car though; it was too heavy to take holding two smoothies and groceries. Sometime this week I'll start sewing the brown skirt and apron. 

I think i’m just gonna bum today, other than doing some QA work through the day, but I dont think I’ll have any Major Goals today. I dont have my sewing orders yet, so I can't work on those (and I have my singer in the shop) 

There's artwork I can work on, and probably should, but at the same time, just hanging out all day sounds good too!!! 

 12:30 i really hate how my face looks. Like i want to rip my skin off i hate it so much. This acne isnt healing, it's leaving a ton of marks. I should have called way sooner, but I thought it was getting better, but no, now i Have like half a dozen or more red spots, and some other darker spots that arent going away. It makes me cry and hate myself fuck this shit

 SO I half accomplished what I wanted to yesterday? 

I did some emote work, and then we went to lunch late, after that I went to joanns to get a zipper I forgotten when i was ordering everything, and was like "ya know, lets make more skirts for myself" and was just going to get ONE, but instead, this purple and black gingham from the halloween fabric JUST CALLED TO ME so I got that and a grey-purple floral for skirts. (and zippers, and lace for the purple skirt). So I spent the rest of the day pretty much just working on the gingham skirt.

Which leads to today!

House chores:
clean the kitchen
laundry
vacuum along the walls
pug nails?

Personal stuff:
Finish the skirt! - adjust width, pocket, hem and waistband.
More emotes
Watercolor stuff
Finish the little black cat piece (White paint) 

Wow looking at this list so far... I feel like its a lot to do! I'm not sure how much I will end up getting done, since it's almost 10 and I still havent eaten yet!

Better go get started on the kitchen some I guess then

2:30pm: i did some more sewing, but it was apparent that the singer DOES REALLY need to be servived, so I took that in. However, the trip out kind of took me out. I came home feeling really light headed and dizzy. A mix of heat and low blood sugar? hard to say. So I spent like an hour  recovering @.@ A friend hit me up to go get coffee in a bit, so I'll be doing that. Just means things get pushed back but I don't mind. Someone had also messaged me like last week about some manga and games, so exciting! Getting rid of them. 

This morning had been a ton of errands, (the grocery store I went to first didnt have fish out??? so I had to go to another one) and disappointing news. I just feel awful and keep crying. My back hurts from the workout yesterday (only when I move a certain way or something, but still) the person I commissioned to do the vorpal blade 3d print is unable to, and the dermatologist I called isnt taking new patients. 

So just a crumby day so far, and I want to calm down from the stress of the errands, but hubs is streaming and screaming and being loud so I can't, which just makes me want to cry more. 

I've thought about going to the coffee shop to try and work on scene stuff, but that would require packing up the laptop and moving with it, which will hurt my back more ;-; 

I don't know what to do with myself at all. I just want some quiet....

Sat 5pm: hahahahah got like NOTHING i wanted to do today. I ended up going to my friends this morning and helping her move for like 4 hours. my feet and legs are sore, and im trying to decide what I want to do today. I'm just sore and dont want to do anything. 

Sun: 9am: Got so much stuff to do! c/p the stuff I didn't do sat to sun, but not deleting it so I can see how terrible I was lol. I made up and sent off my invoice this morning. My wrist is feeling a bit sore this morning, I was on the laptop yesterday and didnt put my brace on last night ;-; So I'm going to try and do as much as I can that isn't scene work, and then do some this evening or leave it for my Big Thing to do tomorrow. But I gotta get a lot of other stuff DONE today then.
