Like I'm already mad and how this has affected productivity. But like, even fun has been rarer. I feel like I spend 4 days saving up energy for 1 event some weeks. Its bullshit.

Last few days have been an ongoing bad flare up. I frankly pushed myself through our Curse of Strahd game even tho I was getting shaky and clammy and having trouble swallowing. It was just so much fun. I was having a great time. God I was even playing in bed wrapped in blankets.

God, scalding hot baths are the only time lately I feel 100% okay. Better than ibuprofen or weed. But cant exactly spend my whole day in a bath tub.

I don't know! DM woulda had to get creative And we were level 9. We put Berez off for awhile cuz of some dire warnings and we finally HAD to go there.

in a funny turn of events, the charmed-dragon player made THREE NAT 1 ROLLS, and then my -1 Strength character rolled a 20 against him. So he failed to eat her in the most hilarious manner possible. Hilarious, and fortuitous, cuz on paper, I shoulda been screwed.

This is my fault. I made a bite-sized toddler-shaped character. Huge monsters keep trying to like one-bite eat her and like, you can't blame them, it's SO EASY TO DO. But goddamn she's gonna have vore related trauma for the rest of her life.

#Curseofstrahd battle with Baba Lysaga last night. We had SO many near-miss "fuck I'm dead" moments. In fact had I not rolled a nat 20, I woulda had a "I am not only DEAD-dead, but a zombie now" moment. Also, once again, the dragon was charmed and tried to eat Pinochle. AGAIN. AGGAAAIIINNN.

Doesn't help that I just made myself eat some gluten free oatmeal cuz I have no appetite today but know I gotta eat something. It was slimy and full of seeds. Bad mouth day.

Yuuuuppp. Why the hell would tokens be purchasable by any ol dipshit who wants to rip off old people using the old fashion scams but with AI just being the new can of paint. They need those scam dollars.

I think also its a weird way to flex how powerful they want us to think it is, on top of get ahead of the fact that they need to slow down cuz they're bleeding millions of dollars.

His name is Dacre and he's, even ignoring the vampire-related trauma, an asocial sourpuss. Fortunately his bard specialty is "college of Horror", so being intimidating and off putting is more important than being charming and personable. My character is gonna do surgery on him, someday~~~~~☆

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

And I looked it up. And slow growing brittle/weak nails are, OF COURSE, a symptom. Look I cant just sit everyone I know down and do surveys to decide what's normal, ok. What's the next abnormal thing I've taken for granted

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.

I will often put out a tiny sign that says "secret menu: will draw rats for tips" somewhere overlooked on the table, that's usually my sales-person way of busying hands

I mean, I've been using the same cintiq since ~2014. And it STILL technically works just, in a very inconvenient way. So like, it's going into storage for emergencies. Take a nap, cintiq.

- The hdmi cable was so busted I couldn't put it directly into a PC's port, had to plug it into HDMI extender and tape it to be bent in JUST the right position to work. also it was old enough the rubber on the back was turning back into dinosaur juice. Sticky.

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

everyone in comics should learn a little html and css, it'll save your butt to not have to rely 100% on other platforms to host your work and blog posts
