Still going strong with TMS. I have 16 sessions left.
For the most part, it’s great. But yeah, going 5 days a week is
beginning to wear on me. I can only handle so much happy, mindfulness
training. Which, I’m sure says something about me. But I’m nothing if
not contrary. So yes, the information I’m learning, the techniques are
good. But yeah, after day 3…I’m snarky as fuck, and I have to do my
best to keep that…tolerable. ::chuckles::
Still adore my TMS tech. She’s just super ADHD fabulous. No, seriously, she has ADHD and ALL OF THE ENERGY. So I can be a bit of a vampire and siphon off some of that energy for myself.
So yes. Still going strong. Most of the time, the treatment itself isn’t even painful any more. Just annoying. But even then, I can tune it out most of the time.
August Trip
The August trip we’ll be taking to Tennessee is looming on the horizon.
I’m seriously looking forward to the trip, even if it isn’t something I
would ever go to on my own. It’s a guitar thing that my husband is
positively giddy about going.
Me? I’m planning to hit a zoo. Maybe some other sights. I’m hoping to meet up with Kimberly at least one of the days I’ll be up there. Another long-time journaling friend that I have never met in person. But I’m hoping to, this trip through Tennessee.
Avatar: The Way of Water
Finally got to watch this, and I adore it. It’s just an overall beautiful
movie. I know, it has its faults. But man, it tugs at my heart
strings....and my SOUL strings. Movies like that always leave
me....ungrounded. What I wouldn’t give to have that kind of connection
with animals. The only thing that would be better? Is if I was a
shapeshifter.
Eh movies like that always leave me feeling a bit lost. They have me longing for something....more.
100 Days of Art
Yep, still going strong. Completed Day #96. I can’t believe I’ve stuck
it with this entire time. And I can’t believe it’s almost over. I
plan to extend it, and go for another 100 days. I also joined a FB
group for local Urban Sketchers. I’m wanting to branch out and try this
type of art out as well. I’m really enjoying the fuck out of this.
I’ve also been reading An Illustrated Journey: Inspiration from the Private Art Journals of Traveling Artists, Illustrators, and Designers, by Danny Gregory. And I just absolutely adore it. And it’s seriously inspiring. I want to have my own sketch travel journals.
Speaking of Art
Continuing the art thought train, but being its own separate train....I stumbled across a “Painting for Beginners”
channel on YouTube. Completely by accident. But, the painting it
offers is PERFECT for the art classes I lead at my Library Branch. So I
pretty much have all of 2024 art classes mapped out. And there are
still a TON more painting tutorials on the channel to keep me going for a
LONG time.
So I’ll be trying those out for the rest of the year, to see what supplies and whatnot I need to put these art classes together. But man, just coming across that channel has lifted a MASSIVE weight off of my shoulders.
I get so burnout and stressed out, trying to come up with art classes that I can actually teach. But now, it’s just a matter of scrolling through the YouTube channel and picking out ones to practice. I am SO over joyed.
And of COURSE, this is giving me THE PERFECT excuse to pick up a sketchbook with thicker paper. Just so I can test these various painting tutorials out. ::grins happily::
