  • I have been feeling really great today so far! Completed the first part of the process of making salsa with my Uncle. Now waiting for the pot to heat up, so we can do the second part and jar it.
    How is everyone today? I am personally doing really good today. Just trying to stay cool. The temp here has been around the 90s recently. It was nearly 100°F yesterday.

    What’s your method for staying cool?

    Drinking plenty of water. Staying in the air conditioning if at all possible during the 100°F days.
    So apparently because I wasn't jumping at the chance to open the door because a UPS guy was there picking up a package my uncle left, it was weird to my Uncle. Apparently he feels that I HAVE to start answering the door to help me be less introverted. Then asked if I understood, like I was a slack jawed idiot, or something.

    I find answering the door extremely difficult. Home is safety place. Everyone feels like an intruder. I’m not sure that learning how to answer the door is an introvert/extrovert thing. It’s perfunctory, and not about socializing for either party.

    I usually ignore people knocking on my door unless I’ve invited them over. Packages can be left outside. I’m an extrovert, but I agree that people being in/near my home feels like intrusion, and I will only allow close friends and family inside my home.
    My dogs are also territorial which helps keep people away.

    There's nothing wrong with being introverted. It isn't something you can be trained to outgrow, either.
    I have come to a realization about a mental strong suit of mine. I tend to be very analytical about alot of things. Like overly so. I don't have time now to explain now. But I may post about it later. If I remember to.

    I would definitely be interested to hear more about what you are thinking about this later on.
    So far, things seem to be going good today. Feeling alot more positive today than I have been in the past few days~
    I saw your thread where you posted art of one of your original characters. Is it okay if I reimagine this OC in my art style? I’m kinda art blocked right now :(
    Something about laying in bed feels particularly nice tonight. Then again, laying in bed during the night was something I always looked forward to. A sense of calm and warmth before facing a new day.
    This is fun. I have found out that I have clinical depression. Well... not offically. But all the symptoms line up with alot of my behaviors. It also explains why I have issues with paying attention.

    You just soldier on, learning to recognize when it ebbs and when it flows so as to accommodate it to your advantage. And to above all cut yourself some slack over it.
    I got back from my trip on Sunday. The trip up to and from Annapolis was draining. I know what I posted before and I did see all the monuments in DC. Also saw the White House, Capitol Building, Pentagon, and Supreme Court.

    Though I have some self revelations that came from the trip too. But that's a post all it's own

    I grew up in Maryland. Annapolis is beautiful. DC stressed me out, but I went enough to see the Smithsonian whenever I wanted and could. It is cool you got self realizations from it too.

    I grew up just southwest of DC in Fairfax, VA. My father was a graduate of the USNA in Annapolis. Always liked Annapolis.
    I am going to be going to Washington D.C. with my family. Yes, my stepmother, father, and half-siblings. It'll be good for two reasons. Seeing location that I've not been to, and looking at my family from a new perspective. Whether I'll do this kinda thing again is questionable. But part of the journey is figuring these things out.
    I had a pretty good day all things considered. Just laying in bed atm. I hope everyone has a great rest/day.
    Been doing some serious self-reflection. I am thinking about making a post later on about the darkest time in my life. My findings about it anyway.

    This is the finished drawing. Drawing it was simple. The coloring was another thing all together. I hope it looks good.
    I am very close to finishing the coloring of a drawing I've been working at. All drawn and colored by hand.
    I've made a breakthrough on why I tend to be suddenly off a lot of times. This came about after yesterday with me struggling to do much of anything, let alone speaking.

    Understanding can be very helpful, even if it comes about from unfortunate situations. Glad you are having breakthroughs.
    I am thinking that coffee from Burger King I had yesterday threw things off a bit. Not doing that again. I'm sticking to decaf if I want coffee.
    Sometimes I wonder why things happen when they do. It feels like fate that I'd eventually find myself. It just took longer than expected. Everyone evolves and processes at thier own pace.
    I got a birthday text from both my half-sisters today and I have been unable to really think of what I make of that. They have never done this before.
