Tuesday night was a crazy crazy day. We had terrible weather and 4 tornados touched down, one only 15-20 minutes from us. Both the kiddo and I are safe and there wasn't too much damage (at least near us).

We did lose power for the whole day Wednesday, and I'm finally back up and running.

Work was a hot mess because I had to shift end of month stuff today, but that's finally finished! Next off my list posting the fanworks post on SID Guardian group! :D

I definitely feel like the weather is still very wild anymore, but the sun is shining today!

Hope all is going well with everyone today! HUGS to all!

With work being so stupid busy I’ve only been painting lately versus painting and writing but that’s ok! Once we get through this first quarter of projects it’ll slow down and I can get back to both!

Here are some random works!

Life continues to be full speed ahead but in a good way! :D The kiddo is out of school and we've been doing extra birb watching around my work schedule (which continues to be far more OT than I like).

On Tuesday we went to this duck pond (I've been slowly mapping out all the birbing spots for us to visit this summer) and that's where we went!

The amount of geese were INTENSE.  So many gaggles and with big fluffy babies! :D We stayed a respectable distance because geese and geese with babies.

The pond and adjacent park was super nice and it was only the kiddo and I for the longest time :D  Then we saw a couple walking their dog on the other side.

BUT THE COOLEST THING, okay there's actually multiple cool things, but the big coolest thing was we saw one of our EAGLES.  It was dive bombing the pond.  I can only assume it was trying to catch fish and while it wasn't doing a great job it was SO awesome to see. The kiddo and I watched it for 20 minutes or more, up until it flew away.  IT WAS SO GREAT.

We also saw several heron on the pond and it's just so amazing how large they really are.  In the air they look small but on land they are like giant birbs, all legs and beaks.

We also found some trails we wanted to follow for future visits, because neither one of us were wearing long pants, and the trails were quite overgrown so next time we'll wear long pants and go exploring more.

I hope everyone is having a great week and we're almost to Fri-yay! :D

PS: I'm hoping Sunday I can finish my two fics and one drawing for my Guardian bingo prompts! Wheeeeee! :D

I need to practice digital arts so I’m spiffy with the arts for 520 day! So here is a hour study of CSZ when he was chained to the pillar. I liked the shadowing and tried hard to replicate in a monochrome-ish red. Arts behind cut!( Arty art art art! )

I am slowing dipping my toes into fandom things again. Next time I’m on my computer i will post some arts and fics I did.

There is still some health things going on but I won’t have any updates until February but I refuse to let it drag me down!

I’ve been trying to catch up on fic reading and slowly I’m getting there! I’m also trying to leave comments!! Once I’m through fic I plan on going through all my dreamwidth posts I have to read and comment on that too!!

I have a Weilan fic in the rough draft stages. It’s a vaguely alternate identity reveal that will incorporate hurt and comfort for Shen Wei. Hoping to get some real work done on that tmr. I have some additional chapters to the winged fic for ChuGuo that I posted in December that hopefully I can work on tmr as well!

But first I have to pick up a new charger for the laptop cause the old one has went kerplunk and won’t charge any longer. I am so hard on wires and chargers Lolol.

Today has been super nice I made a bananananananaa bread and it’s made the whole house smell good :)

I hope everyone is having a good day!!

In other news I've been leaning heavily on paper and watercolors cause my ipad is too heavy right now for my hands.

So here are some various studies I did of Zhao Yunlan and HPS and then also two chars from the DMBJ (is that the right acronym? I'm not sure!) Reunion verse.

I've included various stages if anyone is interested to see the before and then the finished :D
( So much arty art :) )

At chemo appt. Got about 3-4 hours so I’m doing a rewatch of guardian today. Maybe next appt I’ll watch the untamed. Also have a few new shows in case I want something new.

Also have iPad to doodle but the arm is awkward because of how the set it up. Lolol

Well, I definitely can't finish the last gift, but I'm going to give it to the person after once I do finish :) It'll just be slightly late!

I, however, cannot wait for Tuesday for the gift exchange reveals! WOOT WOOT!

Sadly, I have to train a ginormous class on a new procedure on that same day and I"m just like: HMPH. No wanna. But I gotta. I wasn't supposed to train, but my fellow trainer for this project decided to take some PTO for the day even though she was supposed to do the training for this class (I did the last two) and to say I'm a tiny bit grumpy is accurate.

But it'll go quick. Only about an hour and then after work it'll be time to jump into the gifts :D WOOT WOOT! I saw the wishlist group on Ao3 was at 27 gifts! All the goodness! YAY!

I hope everyone is having a good day today and hopefully this week is gentle to us all :)

Sending out many hugs!

End of month and closing of the month is complete! YAYYYY.

I get to log out earlier than normal since I started my day so early! YAYYYY!

Which is good. Gotta finish getting stuff done prior to Wednesday so that I'll be all set for the surgery.

*shifty-eyes* I may just work on my guardian prompt story and post once AO3 is back up :D I just have to finish two more Monday reports and then I'll be set for today.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday!! Hugs to all!

It is end of month and while it's stressful most of the stress is just set aside because there are other more important things to worry about LOLOLOL.

I'm just tackling one thing at a time and if things aren't perfect, OH WELL.

In other news, I can't decide if I want to write for the GUardian Bingo prompt or draw! AHHH DECISIONS DECISIONS. I'm leaning towards writing, I just gotta think about what i want to write. Something funny, something serious, or a combination of both! Who's to say, but I'll figure it out soon :D

Well I should get back and focus on work LOLOL. I hope everyone is having a GOOD WEEK! Many hugs to everyone!!

I am slowly working through the 520 list of fabulous things to read and look at! :D

I'm hoping to kudos and comment on everything by the end of the week, but we're in EOM for work now so it might take a little longer!

Speaking of EOM even though today is a holiday for the US I still had to work, but thankfully it wasn't the whole day. Now the kiddo and I are relaxing.

So last year for Halloween the kiddo and I did Eda the Owl Lady and Hunter the Golden Guard. This year we've decided to do season 3 versions of Eda the Owl Lady and Hunter. So the kiddo will Hunter on the end credits, where he looks to be a palisman carver and I'm going to do Eda the Owl Lady as the Headmaster of the school :D

Last year I hand sewed our costumes and this year I decided to invest in a sewing machine. I used to sew on a sewing machine eons and eons ago XD And this year I was like: You know what! I'm going to splurge and buy myself a sewing machine and relearn how to use it. So I found a gently used machine for under a hundred dollars and this weekend I've been making so many zippered pouches! They're about the size of your standard cloth pencil cases and the first two were not great, but now I'm getting back into it! My seams are looking much straighter XD

I've already started to research a few patterns for our costume so I'm excited to hopefully get good enough again to create both of our costumes with the sewing machine.

I also want to start taking in some of my clothes too. I've been trying to get healthier and now all my clothes are fitting loose and I don't have the budge to buy new clothes, and besides that, all my old clothes are in good conditions!! I'm excited to take in my shirts and the waists of my pants.

I'm almost finished with a ChuGuo fic that was inspired while I was drawing my 520 wings gift. It'll be a winged AU where GCC gets wings :D I actually have two versions of it, but I'm probably going to go with the second one cause it's just flowing better. Hopefully I'll be able to get it out soon but with EOM it may not be until next week.

Speaking of 520 I need to post my drawings too!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday/start to their week!

EEEE the 520 exchange is live!

I have added some comments to a few things I've looked at (mostly the artwork right now) because I must go to bed at a relatively early time for early training I have to run for work tmr.

WHY WORK WHY! Why can't I stay up until the wee hours of the morning to read and comment on stuff XD
