was a little cranky and abrupt with 4yo this morning (we’ve been fighting a lot in general) but then i said “oh i don’t think i had enough hugs this morning to get rid of the grumpy” and she said “‘ME NEITHER” so we had a little cuddle on the floor, which made things a lot better for both of us 🥹

spent all morning doing chores and untangling tax spreadsheet and hunting down receipts and undeposited cheques and look. things are still not TIDY around here but at least they're CLEAN now.
It’s International Owl Awareness Day, a day I wasn’t aware of despite my constant awareness of owls. Here’s a Procreate portrait I sketched a while back of Rusty, a local captive/educational long-eared owl. Owls rule! #birds
just devoured a burrito and a lime jarritos. with that, my weekend of much-needed gluttony and sloth comes to a close.
Just 22 days until #WorstManOGN day! I can scarcely believe it. I hope you’re all even a fraction as excited as I am!
23 days! That’s barely more than three weeks until the #WorstManOGN drops, and I am BUZZING with excitement. If you haven’t preordered, there’s still time! titan-comics.com/comics/2401-...
against all odds… my prayers… have been answered… 🥹
i need a day off so bad like a real day off, not a day where i have to do a few things, or a day where i take my kid to the zoo or something. i mean a day where i lie in bed and eat snacks while watching x-files by myself and have no obligations. i’m so TIRED.

Chums! It is just 24 DAYS until you can hold the #WorstManOGN in your hands, like I can right now!
Can confirm, my monthly earnings have been wildly unpredictable for a number of reasons recently, but I suspect this is a contributor. If you signed up on the iOS app, I’d encourage you to do it on a desktop browser instead.
Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off
between this and a vietnamese feast for supper i actually feel properly nourished for the first time in like two weeks. it’s hard to say for certain, but it’s *possible* that going from camping with a 4yo right into painting a mural in “feels like 40C” heat took something of a physical toll.
i looked up the nutrition details and i had like 1000 calories of salmon and 100g of protein lmfao

i devoured an entire raw salmon fillet, passed out cold for a half hour or so, woke up, and went straight to the fridge for a second chunk of salmon. if i die, tell my wife "hello"
GOT THE GOODS. and i got a couple extra to freeze for next time this happens i’ve had such an intense craving for this lately; i must’ve really needed something in it. it’s the first time i’ve actually felt somewhat nourished all week.

i AM however gonna stop at the fish market and grab some salmon so i can devour a sashimi lunch like a feral cat in a back alley
Tonight’s sunset stopped me in my tracks. An incredible summer evening on Lake Winnipeg.
me yesterday: “aw man i’m gonna take most of the day off tomorrow it’s been a fuckin bonkers couple of weeks. i’m EXHAUSTED and i’ve earned it” me today: “lol shit i gotta do yardwork before it gets hot then i have to run a few errands and when i get home i have a full week of admin to catch up on”
this thread is better than any I've done since the Western Grebe Taxi Service, tbh
