ok I have tennis elbow, also known as PAINTER’S ELBOW lol, I need to type and scroll less for a bit, it hurts like hell right now since I just did that big painting. I’ll be back when I feel better!

"Posting doesn't accomplish anything" Uh WRONG ; every time i post a correct take on the internet I am awarded a single "I was right" point to my collection, which I will be able to redeem in heaven

I’m not totally used to wearing glasses yet. I kept trying to take them off while painting, to see better?? I think my brain still associates wearing glasses with sunglasses, so I kept lowering them and then going “oh right, I can’t see shit”.

resisting the urge to keep working on my painting at almost four in the morning, because I don’t trust myself to do a good job until I’ve gotten more sleep, but I’m too excited about painting to go back to sleep

didn’t wanna jinx it but as of probably next week, I will have professional in-home care helping me with all the cooking and cleaning I have been struggling with the last several years! I struggle a lot with chronic pain and limited mobility, this will be HUGE for me! I’m so happy!!
