I have done zero creating... just came back from a LOVELY week-long vacation in New York City to find a tree fell on the house.

It's the least worst that it could possibly be, but oh the paperwork.

I need to get back to working on my novel 😭 slowed down in the past two weeks due to work stress.
I'm also planning to make curtains for a 2m wide full length window/door so I need to go choose some fabric for that 😣 seems overwhelming!!

sadly, I haven't been creating anything since uni just started for me (southern hemisphere here) and I've been busy trying to balance work and uni again. Hopefully this weekend I will sit down and write a bit, I feel like I deserve the break

Cries. Just got home from Saturday errands/eye doc appt. My right shoulder aches, they still haven't figured out how to treat it. I've been in pain for months now.

But I have written some this week! No other creating, but that's something, right?

I did so much this week!

Yesterday, I made two quiches and a couple of important phone calls. Today, I got my taxes done! And over the course of the week, in response to Tumblr making a shockingly bad UI decision (that they later reversed, but with language that implied they want to bring a semblance of it back),
I posted three new Dreamwidth tutorials/guides, available here at newcomers:

Uploading Images to Dreamwidth (with thanks to our gracious host this week for the posting-by-email tutorial I linked within!)

Finding Friends and Things to Do on Dreamwidth (justcreate gets a shoutout in this one, naturally 😘)

Dreamwidth and Icons
Also available at the_great_tumblr_purge! Also, if anyone who has icons they love could stop by to share them at either of the Dreamwidth and Icons posts! I included everything I could think of about Dreamwidth's icon culture there, but I always welcome input on all of my tutorials and guides, and I also think it would be especially fun to demonstrate how we use icons here. Also you can stop by and see the icons that other people are sharing as their favorites, which is another treat!

If you know anyone who wants to know more about Dreamwidth, especially Tumblr users, I've got links to all of my available Tumblr-focused Dreamwidth tutorials and guides in my intro post.

Up next, I aim to create a sandwich to eat and some tea to drink at work tomorrow. Fingers crossed I'll be able to successfully create a good night's sleep in a few hours!

I've been slowly working on a little bit of everything when I have time lately. Doing a bit of writing, some crochet and knitting along with some cross stitch. I've been watching a lot of paranormal shows again when I'm not watching hockey, mostly Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Lockdown, and my annual rewatch of Hellier, while working on my crafts which is fun.
I just borrowed the audio book version of Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse book 6) from my library and will probably be listening to that on my breaks and before I sleep.
We're also working on packing up to get the house on the market and moving, me to Minnesota and my dad in with his gf, which means a lot of cleaning and getting rid of So Many things. Plus work which is a pain. I just want to be doing my crafts and stuff....
