they came, said they can't see anything in the line, restarted it, & gave me stat doses for the meds i missed while i had the drivers paused. ok but... you really can't see it? it doesn't look clear to me, it looks glittery or something. well i'm falling asleep regardless.

if there are hooded crows that are black or very dark grey, except for the throat & back of the head then yes! it definitely could have been! it looked like this. apparently they've been recorded in the uk but aren't officially residents

An enamel pin with a cartoon image of a bomb with a lit fuse and a smiley face. Text reads "Hang in there, it gets worse"

look at these very on brand patches i bought!

Two iron-on embroidered patches. The left is a black bird with a human girl's head, wearing a crown. The right is more like a bird-centaur; a bird's body but instead of its head it has a human from the waist up. She's topless & combing her hair with the aid of a hand mirror.

ok i think i'm starting to get the hang of watercolours. with the help of the Wee Book of Colouring, which i got specifically for practicing my painting 😌

An old fashioned green glass bottle with a purple fluid inside, painted in light watercolours. The black outlines have been traced over in white paint.

A blue and purple stream with green fishes swimming around it. The watercolours are a little more vivid here, and the black lineart has been traced over with an orange gel pen.

Purple lilac flowers on a green background, within a woven golden wreath. The watercolours are balanced in light and dark.

dear whoever lovingly made this sickly sweet cross stitch sampler for their mum, i'm sorry the charity shop gave it away for a mere £2.95 & labelled it as a "frame" as if it were empty. i want you to know i bought it for your handiwork, which will go great with my grandmacore stuff 💗

making colouring easier on my hands by blocking stuff out with markers & then only adding pencils for contrast & detail, rather than using the pencils for the entire thing

i hadn't touched this colouring book (Tomoko Tashiro) in 4 years because i was afraid of ruining this double page spread

these paints are so satisfying to use 😌🎨

[feet, injury] i'm no expert, but the way i hurt it, the swelling, bruising location & inability to squish my toes together all sound to me like a plantar plate tear. which won't show up on an x-ray afaik 🤷

[feet, injury] well that seems fine! except the more the swelling goes down, the more the bruising reveals a lumpy white string curled up in the middle that i'm concerned could be a torn ligament. there's only one thing for it, foot's gonna have to come off. above the knee i think

Guppy's foot as seen from above. The swelling is now hardly noticeable, and purple bruising has appeared at the base of the first two toes.

[feet] splendid, the colour's coming along really nicely. this is going to look interesting in the morning

Guppy's feet from above, but this time the angle of the lightning shows the bruising rather than the shadow from the swelling.

[feet] see, it's fine! you can hardly even tell which foot had an accident. it'll be ok as long as i don't plan on wearing shoes for a while

Guppy's feet as seen from above. The right foot is textbook, while the left has a noticeable bump in the middle.

A side view of Guppy's feet shows how the swelling protrudes.

that reminds me of this jackdaw

[chemo] it's a latex balloon filled with fluid, inside a plastic bottle. the lines & valves & filters are all plastic. there's no electronic pump or metal involved. the balloon gradually deflates & the pressure forces the fluid through over the course of 46 hours. it's a simple yet clever device.

my sister: what are you making? me: a tiny accordion. my sister: will it... work?? me: god i hope not, we don't need that kind of racket in this house

A fully completed miniature wooden accordion, from a craft kit by Rolife. It's small enough to fit in Guppy's hand, and is painted brown with gold accents.

Accordion from a slightly different angle.
