Hey everyone. So things are going pretty well. Wow had lots of comments to catch up on here and on YT. I'm happy to see you guys posting again. We need to get this place more active. Do tell your friends about this place in real life. I will promote it again soon on my youtube and hope some of my good commenters there will join. We need to new good recruits. Speaking of youtube after YEARS of being glitched I think they've finally done something right and fixed the comments. About three years ago I had someone leave a nice comment on one of my chicken videos. I went to approve it and it would not go through. The comment was stuck and that's when the problems started. I could never get rid of it. I tried approving, deleting, blocking, marking as spam etc. But nothing worked. And then when the new youtube got installed I'm sure it is related that that stuck comment would not let new comments show up. And I was not the only one. Lots of my watchers told me they were not getting comments until way later. I reply to everyone as you guys know so I hated it that it made my look like I was ignoring everyone. But a few days ago I noticed comments were finally showing up on time and going through. I found the old chicken comment and approved it and it finally went through. FINALLY. It's been smooth sailing since then. I'm surprised as I'm used to all sites only doing what's wrong and changes being made for the worse and bugs never getting fixed. I still don't trust or like youtube though but I can say this one good thing at least.

You guys that have been with me a long time know that I love the video game Skyrim. Well Chris picked it up again recently. We have had many play throughs as many characters. We've always played it and beaten it honestly so this time Chris decided to try playing with mod. The Mods will cause trophies/achievements to be disabled. We didn't care because we've already played the game so much and put tons of hours into building our characters. Well we found the single most awesome mod in the game. Someone made an exploding chicken follower. In skyrim there are chickens. Like in almost every open world video game. They are small background elements you usually can't interact with. Here is what they look like in the game.



Kind of like a red star chicken. Well someone made it so that you can have one as a follower and she has all the most powerful spells. She has lightning, fire, explosion and the Fus Ro Da shout. She can knock down even giants. She has tons of health. She can carry your stuff. She doesn't die. She gives you free eggs. Her name is Breakfast. The only thing I don't like that keeps this from being the perfect mod is they gave her a male voice. I can tell it's one of the voices from one of the other followers but I can't quite place it. But it is funny to hear her say "FOR SOVENGARD! Is that all you've got?" She is brave and charges into battle. And she can't be killed. If only she had the voice of a female warrior it would be perfect. But I LOVE her. I will post a video eventually. Really I should not be gaming right now with so much to do.

The other thing I have been doing in Skyrim is I have remade Scary Fear. With mods I was able to get the cloak from the Gray Beards which is perfect for Fear. I can't have his normal outfit in this game of course. The blue shirt with dark green sleeves. It's such a unique shirt it's hard to make in any game really. BUT the Gray Beards cloak looks like Fear's alternate clothing in my story. And I also found a mod for skin color on the dark elves. Kinda stupid that dark elves aren't dark. So now I have him with his black skin. He looks awesome. So yes videos will be coming eventually. I'm leveling right now and have to design the perfect enchantments for his outfit. I'm adding his stats like he is in my story. Strong powers but low health. I kind of want high stamina though because Fear in my stories can run and is very fast. Fear IS fast. Yesterday was a day off and Chris helped me level him.

So art wise. I have finished this bad arse drawing. I've made it to look like an album cover. I'm going to draw the back soon that will have the list of songs. If this were a real CD it would be galactic power metal like GammaRay.



So far this is one of my fave Fear drawings ever. I must arrange a top five of my faves some day. I'm still over hauling some of the older art. One day I will finish Dawn of Fear. This is the drawing I made for the Ace of Spades. But so much of the lovely art was covered up I had to use it for something else. I'm also going to be making a mouse pad out of this but will without the texts. Oh gosh those stupid texts where the hardest thing about this as styles have never worked right for me on Photoshop. So annoying.

So I am still waiting for my Dennis Nedrys to arrive. Notice it's plural. The Ebay one should be arriving today. It's the race of the fat guys. Who will win? As for the one coming from Entertainment Earth, the tracking says it's in Atlanta but once again no update in days. It could be anywhere.

My budgies are all doing well. Whitey has turned out to be a surprise. She is my first talking female. But don't think she's like Minion or any of my previous good talkers. Still I'm surprised she talks. She says in a bad robot voice, "Hi Whitey." And possibly "Pretty girl." I don't expect her vocabulary to get better than that or her pronounciation, but it's a talking female!! That alone and four words is just super rare and amazing. This line from Emma II has been full of surprised. I had a crested and now a talking female. Sadly Whitey has become a coward. I think the siblings have picked on her and she's afraid of other budgies. She's also afraid of my hands but comes to my face if I talk to her. Pretty much all my birds are imprinted on my face but not my hands. Sigh. You have to be careful because the friendly ones will jump on your face because of this even if they aren't in the cage. Face huger budgies and their nails hurt. Whitey also seems to have taken an interest in Minion. She's curious about him. Always has been despite him having acted like a jerk when she was a baby. I didn't want to breed any of the spangled babies because of Emma having been a bad mom and possibly passing on being bad parents. I lost so many eggs and babies this year. And also the bad crested gene as well ANd the spangle diluting lacewing. But if Whitey talks and Minion is a champion talker the talking gene would be increased. After all these generations Whitey got the talking gene from the original ancestor and founder of the line: Phage. But with Whitey being unfriendly that's more bad traits passing on than good ones. Not sure what to do. She's too young anyway to breed.

Well once again we are already half way through the month and I have not even started September's Bullet Journal. I will try to and will take ACTipton's advice to draw cactuses because they are easy. This should in theory get me ahead. I bought a regular planner so that I can still write my plans and chores for when my BJ is not ready. Then I transfer it over. Here is a pic. I love how pretty this planner is.



So yes this will be a very helpful thing.



A late B Day gift from Peregrine. Thank you. It looks like Minion and he was curious about it. Ok I think I will stop here. It's late in the morning and I got to get to work.

Thanks to everyone that wished Chris a happy birthday. We had a very nice time though some change of plans. His mom called him early and he has a flu or cold. So our dinner with the parents was unfortunately canceled. We were looking forward to it. I hope she gets well soon and we will reschedule. So we went out for lunch and he chose Outback Steakhouse. I had the most awesome burger with blooming onions and sauce on it. I think what made it so good is they finally cook to order. I like my meat medium rare and they only used to do medium and would get that wrong over cooking it. But this time I got exactly what I asked for and all the spices were awesome. Chris got a seafood mix thing with lobster, shrimp and stuff like that. Oh and earlier that morning he opened all the gifts I got him. I got him a bunch of stuff this year like a digital wall clock, as USB case holder for his car and some other stuff. He was very happy. The rest of the day we just stayed home watching stuff and gaming.

I'm currently waiting for his last late gift to come today from Amazon. I actually went out today to look for pumpkins. Of course finding a pumpkin on Halloween eve is very difficult. I finally found some at a produce stand. They were being ransomed because they probably know they are the last pumpkins in town. I may or may not carve one tomorrow. I haven't decided but I was happy today that the well known youtube channel among bird people on youtube, Kiwi and Pixel the Parakeets used my pumpkin template last year. I only just found out and commented to them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-_0k5DIplo

This made me want to draw new budgie template because my two are still the only budgie pumpkins online. Here are the pics you can download if you want them.

The hardest thing about drawing carving pics isn't drawing them. It's figuring out what parts need to be cut or scraped and making thick enough lines to leave on a pumpkin. I'd like to do one with Fear this year but I have to think of a cool pose and so far nothing on that. Actually I'm working on a Fear drawing that I'm inking that I hope I can get done as this month's Halloween drawing. If not well not sure. I'm also trying to finish my drawing for my November Bullet Journal.

Things have been going well. I started the painting in the bathroom and made the water gradient but didn't paint the sandy bottom yet. I got very weak after that and the next day I had no energy. I did work on my bullet journal and made some new Fear art I hope to color as a digital piece. Been doing lots of traditional but I miss my true calling which is digital. So many ideas for that still. I got pretty much all my washi tapes and stickers in the mail finally. Got some cool space stuff from England so I'm looking forward to doing a space theme in my new book. Art wise I'm done with this year. I can't wait to start a new book. My current Bullet journal is almost done. I only had two pages left for Nov and December so not a lot of room to work with. Because of that they'll be done quickly. I'm just not sure what to draw for my main pic on those pages. I hope today I can work on at least making the ocean floor for the bathroom. Then I will need new paint colors to draw the rocks and plants.

Big news. Minion has reached 100 words! I'm so proud of him. Teaching him songs is the way to build his vocabulary. Right now I'm teaching him to sing "Someone's gotta be first. All things gotta be faced. Someone's got to brave the worst. Someone's gotta take a taste". That's from The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town. I love this song.
https://youtu.be/lT3AC7LD9rU

Minion quickly picked up "Gotta be first". So now he has a new favorite verb and he's going around combining it with his other words. He loves saying. "Gotta be a budgie." I'm quite behind on posting his videos. We're up to part 6 now and his old stuff he's mastered the pronunciation.


https://www.youtube.com/embed/bbKIF-eSLEU

This is his latest talking video. He finally learned "I come from the land down under." He says that A LOT now. And he said "Happy" for the first time in this. He learned that from the Happy And You Know It song which he now has nearly the whole song too. Funny enough I wasn't trying to teach him that. It was just part of the funny trick to get him to flap his wings. "If you're happy and you know it flap your wings." And he would flap. But bonus side effect he learned the song. Here's the short clip of that.

Here's my October Bullet Journal. My last big entry in this book.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/j04TGORzTCg

Tomorrow is Chris's birthday. He's been having nice days. I'm glad I could help make him so happy that he's finally excited about it. YAY! I am too. I'm very much looking forward to giving him the rest of his gifts and later going out to eat with his parents. He hasn't chosen a restaurant yet. Funny enough he asked me where I would like to go. Oh nooooo. I told him it was his birthday he had to make the choice. Ha ha.

Today is our 23rd anniversary. We celebrated yesterday because it was a day off. We had a very nice day though I'm still up and down about Bullet. I haven't finished my journal but went ahead and made the Feb update because I had to start writing in the layouts.


https://youtu.be/bnOTx8j1FdQ

This will be so nice if I can get around to coloring it. Got a bunch of errands to run and be finished with by Thursday night. I hope I can do it all. I'm not sure I'll have time to draw or do any other fun things like that.

I found this great 18 minute documentary on Parrotlets on youtube. It was very informative for some of the details I did not know about this species like it's a bird best kept alone because they are aggressive and can kill other birds. I love how opposite it is to the wrong advice they give about budgies that you should have at least two. People that have two Parrotlets have two cages so each bird gets their own space.


https://youtu.be/Z4MB-M5y-G0

I still haven't decided what color I want. I have narrowed it down to light yellow or turquoise. I hope none of those are too expensive. I'm not used to such small birds being so expensive. I've also narrowed it down to two names. Ahab or Starbuck. Both names from Moby Dick. I was very tempted to get an American white which is all white with black eyes. I talked to Chris about this and he said I should start fresh whole different new bird. Yes it looks like Bullet but it won't ever be Bullet and I shouldn't do that to myself. As lovely as the whites are I think he's right so it's yellow or turquoise then.

I'm very happy with the progress I have made in my room. It's starting to look really nice and is really becoming my own little oasis that I enjoy locking myself into and taking refuge in. So I finally have a pic of the shelf Chris helped me build.



It's so pretty and colorful. Though the wall is blue it's a pale bland blue. I hope to repaint it at some point. Notice the brackets holding the shelf up are green. I painted those. I love the pink stripe on the edge too. Now originally that was going to be a coral color. But when I went to the paint section of Walmart it had been ransacked. There were hardly any paints left. They had three neon pinks left so I went for that since pink and green is also a great combination. It took several coats but finally got it done. Thank you [livejournal.com profile] marchskies for the awesome camera arm. You can see it in the center of the shelf. It's a gorgeous blue. And it will help me make videos of my art from an over head view. But I'm still getting used to how to position it.



I got these raven book ends yesterday and I love them. They are baby ravens. They are anatomically correct but because they are fat, short and stubby billed these are babies. They aren't very heavy though so I would not use them with heavy books.

More pics here )

[livejournal.com profile] kabuldur the journals you sent me finally arrived today. I am SOOO happy with these. Especially the Mint colored one it is my fave. Check out how pretty these are.



They come in these clear boxes which I love. I call them Force Fields. They really helped protect them on their long voyage here. No damage at all.



They come shrink wrapped too. My main Bullet Journal will be filled up I'm guessing come May or June and I'm going to need a new one to transfer into. My next one will be the mint one. I love all the cute icons on both covers. That's why it's called the Iconic Version. The pages seem of good quality so I think it should take my coloring well and hopefully not many pens bleed through. I hope to use these not just for Bullet Journaling but for my other things like sketch book art, idea books and such. I'm on a notebook kick right now. I'm loving collecting different ones and I do intend to use them all eventually. I will do a video review but still waiting on a few more colors coming in from other countries still. It's crazy that these books sold out all over the world. None of the Amazons had it. Then Australia suddenly got some colors in though I missed out on the Lavender. Then Canada got a few. I don't use instagram but on there and on their other sites people from all over the world are complaining that the stores are all out of stock. We're half way done with January already and I think it's pretty bad that it happens now when everyone is starting a new year and needs new journals. I'm glad the company is actually doing well, I think, but they didn't take into account the demand from Christmas and New Years more importantly. I think they need to think about growing and open up manufacturing plants in more locations. Funny enough I found the lavender one in Mexico but they are stupidly over priced there. So the final colors for me to get are Lavender, black and yellow I think. I wouldn't mind having a few more mint ones on back up. My other fave colors I have coming already. They are pink, light pink and turquoise. Funny enough for once I think I will like the Mint more than the turquoise because it's two of my fave color combinations. Turquoise/aqua and pink. The turquoise one has yellow as it's highlight color. I can't wait to get them all in so I can do a review and show that the Scribbles That Matter famine of 2019 won't stop me. Ha.

In other news. It's been darn cold here. Two nights in the upper 30's. Not happy about that. Chris and I had a nice day off. Funny yesterday was kind of notebook related too. The company Lemome sent me all this cool new stuff because I left them a nice review on Amazon. Oh and remember the problem I had with Amazon and the jeep handles review? They wrote me back and apologized. There was nothing wrong with my review and they pushed it through. Ha, of course not. My reviews are always helpful.

And Bullet is doing well. She is feeling ok. She had a few bad days but is better now. She will be showing up in the new reviews. I have an over head camera arm now so I can film my desk from overhead. I'm still learning how to use it though. I haven't quite mastered it yet. Hard to tell what my area is to keep things in frame without standing and looking at the screen.
Oh and I forgot to mention Chris helped me build a shelf over my art table so I can get all unnecessary books off my work space. I LOVE it. I just hope it won't fall. It's on the outside block wall of the house so we never found a stud. I don't know if there is one. It is for books so I do worry about the weight. So far it has gotten most of the stuff off my work table. It has green hooks I painted and the shelf is hot pink on the edges.

Want to say thanks to Calzephyr. I finally got my Christmas gift. It's this awesome mug with three lovely budgies that says "Beware Crazy Budgie Lady".



And as the title of this post says I have finally finished my January journal. Want to show my fave page from it.



So at last I introduce you guys to RipTalon the Captain. He is a cyborg Velociraptor that hates his own kind for forcing him and all his people to become cyborgs once they come of age. RipTalon lost his whole body and mostly only his head is organic. But he continues to defy the government, builds a ship with stolen parts and escapes the planet vowing revenge. INTJ personality type. In the lower left we have the Doc. INTP who becomes close friends with RipTalon later on. You guys know George and Scary Fear already. ISFJ and INTP respectively.

So here is a video flip through of this month.

I made LOTS of progress yesterday on my journal but I did not finish. I colored a drawing of Sorath in marker and though it looks nice I'm not doing that again. The reason is that my markers though they are supposed to be safe sometimes bleed through. I was constantly checking the next page and using a lot of effort to make sure my touch was super light. I have a light touch but you have to be extra light with marker and only pass over once. It was causing me too much stress and didn't turn out to be faster at all. So I'll keep them just for highlighting boxes and coloring banners in a solid color. I finished seven drawings and have seven to go, so in theory I could finish today. I will try but two of the ones I have are hard drawings. George as a hybrid and Gallemotch. So we'll see how much time they take up. I'm thrilled to have also finally colored RipTalon for the first time. I was worried about how I would color his metallic parts in pencil but it actually turned out great. He really does look metallic. I couldn't believe I did so amazing for my first time. So far he's my fave drawing of the month. I can't wait to make a nice full body drawing of him and color him. I should do that in my sketch book. Chris got it for me last year and I haven't even used it yet. Doc turned out pretty neat too. I love his pose. But I need to think of a name for him. He needs a name. It's fun calling him "Doc" but that's his title not his name.

Another thing I'm very happy about is I have been taking caffeine well lately. You guys know I couldn't have it as it would give me chest pains and breathing problems. I hated to give it up especially coke and coffee. I have just been drinking herbal teas which I like but not the same. My Bigelow tea boxes sometimes have a caffeine chart on the back that I really love. Here's one for example.



I kept mentioning to Chris I wish they showed where Cola falls into this as that was my fave and main drink.

Well I just found this chart.



This is an awesome chart and at last all my questions have been answered. I'm surprised that Coke is only halfway down the chart. I thought it would be under coffee. I'm surprised energy drinks like red bull are under coffee. I thought they'd be above. I learned a lot of things I didn't know. Wow. Nothing beats true coffee for mega caffeine content. I knew it had a lot but had no idea. I also thought Espresso was stronger than coffee. I am very surprised by this but good to know. If I can get a working printer I want to print this and put in my Bullet Journal or Travel Journal so I can have it with me on trips. I lump chocolate candy into the raw cocoa part of this. So I am very happy because over December I allowed myself to have some chocolate bars and hot chocolate drinks. I was afraid to eat them but enjoyed them very much. I had no ill effects and was very happy. Since then I have had some Decaf coffee (Which I was surprised was so far down the line) green tea. So far I am ok. I hope I can get back on caffeine. I would love a real coke. Don't know if I can do a real coffee though. Yet I wonder if this was tied to my issues with my gallbladder and appendix? I was having a lot of food issues before the surgery. I couldn't eat eggs and now I can again. It sucked my lovely chicken eggs were making me very sick. But I need to lay off caffeine for a bit or stick to the low ranking stuff before I try I coke. I'd love to say I'm cured. That would be so wonderful because it was one of my few food pleasures.

Chris and I have been dieting since the new year too and we're doing well. Though we're "skinny" by everyone's definition we hold ourselves to a high standard. At our age we really have to watch our weight. Gaining even a little is too much for us and we end up having lack or energy or back pains. I am doing well and down to the 104's right now. My goal is 100 which was my high school weight. I think I can do it. I've been eating nothing but fish and salad and sugar free cookies with my teas.

Been a while since I posted. Been very busy mostly Bullet Journaling. I'm ALMOST done with January. I'm majorly behind as the second week is almost over. I finished all the inking last night finally. I will try to finish the coloring tonight. Though I love the look of colored pencils I'm going to color half my stuff with markers just for time's sake. Then I can take a short break and get back to stuff that's been neglected because art is all I have been working on. This not only includes my chores and work but fun stuff like gaming. I haven't played Red Dead in forever. It would take up too much of my time. And I still have to finish the art for Novemember because I want to do a 2018 video flip through. Then I have to start on Feb so I can be ahead. I think most people make their journals in the last week. They make the next month. I can't do that. As an art journal too I need two weeks to finish so I need to be several months ahead. But I've always been the unique one that doesn't do anything like anyone else. And I'm nothing like other Bullet Journalers I have found as they are all girly girls. I wish more guys did Bullet Journaling and drew cool stuff like I do with darker themes and action themes. But like most of my art I don't watch other artists, others watch me. I'm always the trail blazer. So it will be nice once this is done. It's a nice theme with Solan and George, but my Year At At A Glance is cool as I have officially drawn RipTalon finally and can imagine what he looks like. Chris and I came up with some great ideas for him in Triangulum. I'll have to log those here soon.

I finally finished the December page spread. Here it is. Hopefully I can get January done soon. The first week is almost over so I need to get moving on that.


https://youtu.be/AEDRuoiYeKg

We had a funny incident last night. It's getting cold again so the frogs get into the house when that happens. I have a wind chime by the kitchen window. There's no wind in the house so it shouldn't make noise. The first time this happened I heard it go off during the day. I yelled, "BULLET!!" Thinking Bullet had flown onto it. I went into the room and she was innocently standing on her play gym. It wasn't her. It was a lizard. So I caught the lizard and put it outside. I apologized to Bullet. Last night it happened again. This time it was a green tree frog. We were happy because those are our native frogs and they are so much prettier than the introduced Cuban Tree Frogs. So Chris caught it and put it outside. The reptiles get in the house when things get cold.

So what's been going on? Busy fun few days. Same stuff but I'm really enjoying it. I've made some progress on the Bullet journal. I'm working on the layouts for November and hope to have it finished in a few days. I hope. The theme is Carl and Ellie with some Fall leaves and flowers thrown in. I've only drawn them twice so far. Since I'm new to Bullet Journaling I really don't know what I'm doing and what's the best way to approach something. I was thinking to try to get one month ahead so if I finish November this week then I can rest and not start drawing December until the third week of November. OR, should I just keep going and draw as often as I can and try to fill out the whole book and then enjoy the rest of the new year with a finished book? Both have pros and cons. I'm not sure what way is better. I'm certainly not lacking for theme ideas for each month, that's for sure. I also want to make one big sticker of Fear for my cover. Any ideas on what pose to put him in? So far I'm thinking of drawing him landing with his wings forward curled over him like a cloak. Since it's a tall skinny book I don't have room for fully spread wings but don't want to do closed wings you don't see much since the cover needs to be eye catching.

Bullet is doing ok today. She looks better than a few days ago when she was pretty bad, but still is fluffy. She eats very little so I still probably have to keep making formula for her. We both hate that. I had washed her whole cage and all the perches and it's a mess again. Her tumor's gotten bigger too. Poor budgie. Today feels a bit cold. It's in the low 70's this morning. But things should warm up starting tomorrow.

We're going out this evening with Chris's parents to celebrate Chris's birthday early. I think that will be really nice. Been working on videos as you guys know.

Oh here's my third week of Inktober.


https://youtu.be/vHUXCx9N8YE

The first one for Weak is one I might color. I like it a lot.

I'm thrilled that we got our HP printer to work finally. The new cartridges for the Epson didn't work. It read that it had full ink but printed blank pages. I did all the tests on it and not sure what would fix it other than a pro taking it apart and putting it back together. I hate that I have to keep it around because it's an awesome scanner. The HP has a crap scanner I can't use for my art, but it prints well. So after getting ink all over us and ending up with rainbow hands we now have a lovely printer again and yesterday I ran some gorgeous prints off of it.



Look how nice these are.



Here's a close up the Staples Print. These were terrible. The color was nice but it's all grainy and blurry. Also it has red and blue lines through it. They told me the paper was glossy. That's not glossy at all. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for these but I don't want to even give them away or display them. What a waste. They have fancy expensive printers and my cheap $50 one once it works has way better quality.



The contrast is better on the Staples one on the left but I'm willing to trade that off for these high gloss, in focus, sharp and vibrant prints. I have to remember to lighten everything then when I print my stuff but these are display worthy and gift worthy. Unfortunately my computer is in the red on memory. I'm getting scratch disk errors and can't open photoshop. So I'm backing up videos which I think may be the culprits taking up the room on my C drive. I SO need a new computer. I just hate that I'll be forced to have windows 10 if I do that. Ever since I got the GoPros it's amazing how much space videos take up. I've already filled an external drive that I think was 1 TB with just redundant back ups. I've got one left and who knows if it won't be full after this transfer. I hate backing stuff up. I'm just waiting for it to clean so I can open photoshop.

I finished October for the Bullet Journal. YAY I'm so happy about that. I need to start working on November right away and try to finish it. Seems it takes me two weeks to finish a month. I might be able to do this one faster since now I kind of know what layouts I like and what to do. I still dont' feel fully confident since I am new to Bullet Journaling. I'll post pics soon of the new journal pages since I won't be making a video on it until the end of the month.

First off I want to say Happy Birthday to Calzephyr. I sent you a little something. It will be in two parts so they're going to be late too. I hope you had a great day today.

I've had a very nice day. I've drawn the four drawings for Inktober so far. They are turning out nice. Tomorrow's drawing is Chicken, so I want to draw a cute Salmon Faverolle. What is annoying about this thing is that it's just inking. I feel these drawings are incomplete. I want to color them either with pencils or digitally but the darn rule is ink only. I just imagine the salmon faverolle in pretty tan colors. So cute. I drew more in my bullet journal today. I got the next week drawn out as well as the prompts for inktober so I can cross them off. Bullet is doing good. She took a nap but has been pretty normal energy which I'm happy about. I'd like to eventually set up a playgym in my art room so she can be with me during the day. I bought a little budgie figure from Hobby Lobby and plan to repaint it and turn it into Bullet. My Fear plush is in NY right now. I can't wait to get it. They'll probably hold it in customs there for days for no reason. It's annoying how they do that. He arrived there yesterday. I'll have to do a few things to fix him up once he arrives. The main things are paint his skin and redo his wings. I don't know how tall he is or I'd start to redo his wings now.
22 year 8 month anniversary today. Yay!

At last here is the video on the Bullet Journal.

I made some mistakes but loving how this turned out. I have now learned rulers get dirty with ink and I have to be careful as it went all over my hands, smeared on my journal and messed up the tips of my markers. I love how the cover with Bullet and the drawings of Fear turned out. This whole thing has been so fun to make. I have to finish the rest of the weeks still. Then I can think about what to do for November. May-be I'll do a nepenthes theme or try to do something with Solan and George. They both have Fall colors and are best friends.

Today was a nice day off. I didn't do much but Chris worked on his own closet. The living room is again a disaster but it's on its way to it becoming better over all for the whole house. As you saw my art room is becoming so nice. I love my table. And I hope to repaint the walls and eventually put up my posters and framed art. I had another great dream about a pirate king that I need to post here soon. So many fun dreams lately. But I'm keeping this post short for now.
