Well June 28th was MY birthday so I did LOTS of fun solo things like watching Kevin Smith's move called Tusk.

Creative things
Made an ffn account. Uploaded all of my fics there UwU (Including the stuff i did for worderlands' 3 sentence fic challenge week)
Doing the sunshine_revival Challenge which has been fun
Slowly building a new art set up. I'm making a standing desk out of a dresser :)
Did more character analysis for my own amusement

Hobby things
Got into lifting as a hobby but also to improve my ergonomics. I am gonna get stronk.
Aaaaalmost done watching the 30986 other movies I started.

Adulting
I got a new therapist who specializes in somatic stuff. Yay.

Yay for lifting! Sigh, I need to get back to doing that on the regular.

Good luck with the new therapist!

[zenigotchas]

Thank you sooo much. And what about you? What did you do this week?

[kickair8p]

A wide range of getting stuff done, nice!

I just finished a story that ended up 15K in 5 days so I'm pretty proud of that. (It was not a story I meant to be writing)

I really need to get back to work things though

[kickair8p]

Sometimes trying to focus on what you're /supposed/ to be doing instead of following your inspiration blocks everything and you can't get anything done. And you finished a 15k, congrats!

[cornerofmadness]

You're absolutely right.

thanks

[zenigotchas]

But it's always so fun when that happens!

[cornerofmadness]

so very true

I've mentioned here a couple of times a personal art challenge I was doing ( masterpost & details here ) — it's done! Dicey at times, but I didn't miss a day, and now I have thirty new artworks that make me happy.

Yay for completing the challenge! Thirty new artworks that make you happy - that's a LOT of joy!

I think the sparkly donuts are my favorite.

[kickair8p]

Aw, thanks, glad you like 'em! And yeah, I keep going back to them and enjoying the play of colors, the glitter, the shines . . . glad I did this.

Chugging away on Upon A Star. It's all I've got the brain for right now.

[kickair8p]

You're using what you've got to do some of what you want, good! And fiber art is fun to see.

I finished an art reflection for June. Doing monthly reflections was something I wanted to try this year but never got around to until now.

I'm currently working on a little bingo card tracker. It's an upgrade to my random prompt picker that keeps track of what prompts I've started and finished by category. My next goal is to finish the new gallery page for my website.

Besides that, I'm trying to be more consistent about my violin practice.

[kickair8p]

June/July is a great time to start something, January's overrated IMHO. Liked how you handled the prompt. Sounds like you're getting stuff done, great!

Thanks for stepping up and putting up a post.

My job ended on Monday, which I'm thrilled about, but I'm not adapting quite as well as I hoped.

[zenigotchas]

Yw.

It's not my business what is bothering you specifically, but I do hope you're able to find some clarity or peace over whatever is hindering you so you can enjoy being free of your old job!

[silvercat17]

It's just my ADHD. I need to make new routines basically

[dianec42]

Whee, fun.

We're here for you if you need support or accountability.

[silvercat17]

Thanks!

[kickair8p]

Congrats on what's thrilling you about this! Hope the rest works out okay.
