Super oops. Been a tiring weekend. Mom came over to hang out and play some card games and helped tidy with us. So Friday we got rid of all the excess clothes, Saturday was books. Sunday was donating them all the Salvo and then heading to Arcadia to hang out. 

Really proud of Randy for getting rid of a good portion of books. So the top two shelves in the closet is still books but actually I’d say 1 and a half shelves. I’d say like 35% gone. Not terrible. I have a portion of the shelf for my plushies now hehe. 

I’m happy that I got rid of a lot of clothes if not for this process I don’t think I would have gotten rid of as much as I have. Since probably a month prior I went through and maybe got rid of 10 articles of clothing. But there obviously was so much more to be gotten rid of. Things that I almost never wear anymore, things I did not like and just blah clothing that I would wear but didn’t like. 

And woo Sunday finally got my haircut after just over a year. It was cut so short a year ago and it just kept growing. Was not great at trimming it myself so it’s short ish again. But I kinda am not a fan of how she cut my hair. It’s like short in front to sorta frame my face but only on one side which is super weird looking. Next time I’ll explicitly say not to do that lol. 

Monday was super rainy and I hated it. I decided not to go the to gym because it was just pouring. 

But I made it to the gym today but the workout was kinda whatevers. Sometimes I feel like the workout is never enough. Like the warmup is barely a warm up and then you jump in the workout and you’re finished after 15 minutes which is hardly working out at all. The crossfit class is starting endurance so I’ll have to try and get in one of those classes soon. But it sucks working out so late. 

Been pretty decent about getting up and not being on my phone so much in bed in the morning. There is still some phone time but much less than before. 

I’m super slacking in sketching and art these past few days since cleaning and selling and donating. I suck I will try to be better once this all is over.

Gymmed today with Randy was nice. 

Started with Marie Kondo’s tidying method starting with clothes today. Exhausting. Taking a break right now.

W Jan 9th

DEFINITELY going to get my haircut tomorrow hopefully. I think it will make me feel much better. 

Laurie acting super crazy today lol we messed around with her facebook settings and stuff for like it felt like over an hour to figure out how Dave blocked himself from Laurie seeing that he was a mutual friend on Dave’s ex’s page. It was really confusing how he would have done it. We didn’t figure it out in all the time we spent but I think given like 3 accounts and a little uninterrupted time I could figure it out.

T Jan 8th

Did a painting stream :3 Was a challenge ish thing where you only use one color to study values and etc. Saw it on a youtube video of this girl doing it and hers looked amazing and she made it look so easy. But overall I’d say kind of a success. It didn’t take too long. I think it was 30 min lol. Maybe I should have taken longer.  Oh now that I’m looking at it I should have added a few shadows to the moon cuz it actually kind of looks like a sun and not a moon lol. I hate that you can see so much like brush strokes everywhere. Gotta figure out how to not do that.

M Jan 7th

Went to the gym today even tho i really didn’t want to. It was rainy and cold and bleh. But not a bad day. Workout was ok ish. Came home and did some dishes. Starting to track what I eat not exact amounts or counting calories or just trying to be more mindful of what I eat. Starting today cuz last night lul I ate a shit ton of cheetos and dumplings in the middle of the night. I guess it should count as today since it was past midnight but haha I’m not going to do that. 

Watched some CNN. About Trump and the government shutdown. Hope the dem’s don’t give in and give a dime to Trump. Reinforces his bad and childish behavior that he can get whatever he wants. Really sucks for the government workers but it is Trump’s government shutdown. He owned up to it so it’s up to him to solve it. 

Went to work Lisa got me a nice Christmas gift. Lychee scented candle and check and a really sweet and thoughtful card. She’s and her kids are the best. She’s so kind and nurturing. Very motherly and teacherly? lol.

1/3 Daily Sketches

decided on some zebras today idk. all from reference

[exposureofcolor]

Went to the dentist, wasn’t so bad not too painful but a bit of discomfort. I felt kinda awkward and slightly bad since I think I had a cleaning appointment that I dodged a while back but can’t remember for sure. It may have been while I was on vacation or maybe that was my excuse. I know he knows that I haven’t gone to see him in a while. And it would also be hard to NOT see that I hate going to the dentist (nothing really against him personally) and that I’m a bit not uncooperative but tense and not as open as I would be in any other situation. Although maybe I’d feel the same way at the regular doctors, but I’m not sure as I haven’t gone to an actual doctor in a while either hah. 

Anyway he told me to come back for a cleaning but the receptionist didn’t mention anything about making that particular appointment so I didn’t mention it either. I’ll probably call to make it eventually. We’ll call it one of my new year’s resolutions go in for a cleaning. 

Was also supposed to get up early today to make it to the gym before the dentists. Didn’t happen. Snoozed too much whoops. Also was supposed to go the mailbox and cancel it and also go to Michael’s to return something. Forgot my mailbox key in my other pants and forgot the thing I was supposed to return but it’s whatever. I canceled the box online, unfortunately no deposit back :c oh well. 

Also went to the gym after. Man it was prettttttttttty rough. Did front rack lunges and shit they were heavy. That’s what I get for not going to the gym for like 3 weeks. Yikes. I think I did alright with the actual workout tho.  14 MIN AMRAP: 10 Box Jumps 10 65# DL 5 TNG Hang Power Cleans  Did 9 rounds even. Could have maybe squeezed another rep or so into it but was dead. Felt really good after tho. Also signed up for a body scan this weekend at 10:45 on Sunday. Woo. Excited to see how much excess belly fat I have lul.  

Things I would like to do soon. Along with keeping a blog I’d love to start a bullet journal. Just discovered what it was like yesterday. Gotta get a journal lol. Ok that should be a goal this weekend.

NEW YEAR NEW BLOG

I’ve decided to take up blogging regularly this new year along with taking art more seriously! Ideally I’d love to sketch everyday even if I can only do it for 15 minutes. Paint or sketch daily, blog semi regularly and read a book a month! Oh and go to the gym 2-3 times a week. We’ll see haha. Already missed the 1st since the gym was closed and gotta go into work early today but hopefully I’ll be able to hit the gym after work today. 

I need to fix my sleep schedule since it’s super fucked. I tried going to sleep relatively early last night but still didn’t go to sleep until after 3 am. Fail. Gotta get to bed earlier if I’m going to do all the things I need to do! 

Another thing I would like to do is stream more regularly. I would like to do art streams and I’m going to test it out sometime this week and hopefully it’ll keep me accountable for drawing/painting more. 

So things for the new year to try to keep up: 

Sketch Daily

Read a book a month

Gym 2-3 times a week

Fix sleep 

Stream 2-3 week

Take Lav on a long walk 1x week

In other news I made an appointment to fix my tooth tomorrow. It needed to be done can’t believe I thought it would go away and resolve itself lol. 

Other things to do this week is redo my panels, add some sound effects and alerts.
