Updates on life and blogging

This blog ost will be a little disjointed. As I mentioned before I had Covid in September, figured I'd be up and running in October, but recovery is harder than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong, aside from a little lingering cough I'm physically fine. I even started going out for runs! Short runs with speed walking in between....but runs! Where I don't feel lke I recovered well is my ability to focus. Especially on things on a screen. For some reason it still exhausts me. And noise. I get overstimulated so fast from noise. But I'm working though these things and I've been trying to get myself back to blogging for the past couple weeks. So here's how things currently stand:

The last photo album was the SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER one and I don't know if I'll have anything for November. As it stands I don't have any pictures. Not that I'm not going out now. I am. But I'm either running errands or trying to push myself to run and I don't wanna carry my clunky camera. So no promises on pictures this month.

In the same boat is the STREETLAMP SHADOWS project. I don't think I'll get to go take those pictures this year. Taking the train, spending a day walking thought noisy Timisoara and then taking the train back in the evening sounds exhausting still. So that's postponed.

GESTURE DRAWING? I don't think I can focus yet. So that's on hold too.

STAIGDIN? This is somethig I actually got a bunch of stuff done for and I'm hoping to start posting soon. 

QUILTING? I hope to finish my blanket by the end of the year. There's not so much to be done and I have other sewing projecs in mind. This is something I feel more relaxed doing so I'll try to keep myself busy with these more physical projects. 

INKTOBER 52....maybe next year. I can't. That's too much pressure for now.

I still want to maintain the "long posts that get updated" thing on the blog but I also felt the need to just dump progress somewhere so I finally decided to keep a Mastodon profile. I made one in August for Blaugust so I could interract with other bloggers on it. However I moved instances, I'm now on mementomori.social.

I also have a Pixelfed on gram.social. I made this one cause when people see me with a camera they ask for my pictures and expect an Instagram or Facebook. Most of them find using a blog so complicated so I thought I'd make a "highlight" collection on something that looks similar enough to instagram to feel familiar for these quick interractions. 

What else?

NEWSLETTER....I skipped it twice now. I'll evenually restart it. I first need to have actual news to put in the newsletter.

I don't remember if I wanted to say anything else...I came into this post with no notes, only intentions and a scattered mind. Anyway, good night! 

Stay healthy,
