everyone wants new clothes, new cars, new faces. a treat, a piece of plastic, an easy solution.
i just want to soak in the old and dilapidated earth.

we went to the neighbors to get drinks, i looked at their garden. huge dill plants, flowering. i don’t have the adapter for the sd card, i took photos on my camera. i ate pistachio ice cream at home, and we’re watching cooking history videos. goodnight.

i de-seeded a bunch of habaneros last night and my hand is still contagious with spice the morning after. i’m wearing gloves next time. i rubbed my eye this morning, thinking nothing of it, and it started burning with habanero. i’ve washed my hands at least 10x since i touched them. i still <3 habaneros.

i hate being on instagram, it makes me feel jealous of people and anxious about everything all at once. i wish i wasn’t jealous of people, and i always want to get to the root of why but then i just get all insecure. i just need to be more confident in myself. what a ranty blog, but i needed to get it out.

i’m eating gummies and watching tv. today we worked on our projects, i finish the poster for the really really free market, and ander made graphics for the stream. i feel so good with life, besides the creeping bills and upcoming need to pay for and maintain my own health insurance. it’s fine, i’ll live, everyone else does. i just want to make art, tomorrow i will go to do a couple things at the house, replacing joysticks and moving some cords. i’ll come home and paint, i want to finish the kirby and maybe start painting that little rabbit.

oh boy i love this time of year when everything is just sprouting and growing like crazy.

i took a stalk of two tomato plants and buried (while still connected) to create a new plant! once the new one roots enough i’ll disconnect it from the original so they have their own root systems. kind of an experiment, usually you would plant it horizontally at the beginning to encourage multiple sprouts growing. so i’m doing my own spin on it!

saw two snakes today while eating my breakfast, one slithered across and i said “hi snake” and then right when i said that another popped their head out from under the grill. they’re starting to grow on me, kinda cute. i followed them and found this snake skin! it was fully intact but stuck on something so it ripped:( you can still see the head and eyes though! i think i may make some sort of art with it.

was out earlier than usual to prune and water my plants. this lil’ cute cat joined me for a while. i’ve seen them before, i think the neighbor feeds them. they’re so friendly, meowing and rolling around. i hope they visit me again, i’ll have some catgrass out there next time.

a good weekend we started watching veep, binged it while slowly folding laundry all morning yesterday, then binged more while painting kirby. streamed with multi cam for the first time. i sewed together the lining of my purse, the handle of a tote bag and my cow slippers. i washed my face and am going to eat oreos and milk.
