A sorta character sheet drawing I did of our half-dusk-elf, half-vistani dhampir bard from our Curse of Strahd game. The player always describes him as a "wet cat" and I hope I did that justice, lol. #art #dnd #curseofstrahd

Another "guess thats Hashimotos too" convo with Sara Me: my nails never get long and when they do, I just rip the tips off so they dont break cuz they always break. Sara: rip? Me: you know, grab em by the edge and just rip the rip off, like a pull tab, its easy. Is that not normal? Sara: NO?!

listening to Sara do her WFH dayjob taking meetings is killing me cuz she says stuff like "and this is where it gets crazy and I introduce inflation" and "the inflation year" and I am a good girl and I DON'T shout jokes and make "awooga" noises but god, it kills me a little, slowly

inspired by @ryanestrada.com's antics, a thing I've started doing at conventions when business slows down is drawing little sketch cards and slipping them into books. Fun little "buying at the show" bonus and it gives me something to focus when I'm losing steam.

God, only after I removed all the setup for my cintiq did I remember all the stuff wrong with it. - I had to repair power cable cuz my rats chewed on it and wrap all the cables in protective casing - Had a 3D printed stabilizer for the proprietary cable's input cuz it was slowly flexing/breaking

Had hard time sleeping last night. Drew quick comic based on last Curse of Strahd game. We're using Lingering Inujries table, and GF's PC took a bad blow to shoulder, but since my character is a surgeon, I was able to roll to fix it. Her PC wouldn't stop wiggling. Dragon player helped. #art #dnd

My wacom cintiq was finally showing its age, plus I'm so tired of its ancient proprietary cable bullshit. Invested in a Huion Kamvas 13" Gen 3, and after getting it all setup, I like it quiet a bit!

Talked with old coworker, I caught him up with the Hashimoto's stuff and he was like, "Hey that makes sense, whenever you got sick, you got REALLY sick" and yeah in retrospect, all the pieces are there, but like... at the time I was just like "aw guess I'm getting old" and "well I'm workin a lot"

My spirits are high but my body is struggling. This last flare up was pretty bad. Taking it easy at dayjob but already feeling itchy about the stuff I could be doing, some maintenance on to-do list. But god I really gotta not move for a bit.

@kendrawcandraw.bsky.social I want you to know I had a display-only copy of RHS2 to take to SPX with me and my GF was teary-eyed begging me to bring it back to her so she could read it. I did and she scurried away with it like a little goblin. She loves it. Her only objection is the lack of 'more.'

While answering phones at work, I did some sketches I'd like to polish of one of our Curse of Strahd players (a homebrew medium dragon), specifically his interactions with others. He has humored many children. He often scruffs my PC and carries her around when he deems it necessary #art #DnD

Warm-up practice sketch of Pinochle for future drawings. She doesn't look like this right now, it's more of a "what if." I just like reminders that yeah, she's often kinda cute to look at, but she really is a little creepy thing and is like, hollow. #art #DnD

Now that the weather is cooling down I gotta deal with this "always cold" thing. Slippers and robes are easy enough, but I'm not sure what to do about my hands. Yeah, I can wear gloves, but I wanna type and draw. Fingerless gloves?

Sara was suggesting we figure out how I can do low-pressure live streaming on flare-up/rest days in bed. I'm thinking about it. Maybe vtubing again. I'd need to put my main computer on wheels or something, figure out quick-release cable situation.

I will say: if one more person recommends I take ashwagandha, I'm gonna start biting. That stuff STIMULATES the immune system. That's the last thing I need. I'm sure it's great for most other medically-sleepy-bitch conditions, though.
