Winter spring
Yesh, it is already April. There's snow outside still! This month is going to be the one-year birthday for 4⭐Town 4⭐Real (April 25). To celebrate, I drew 40⭐Town fanart 😂
Timelapse from Procreate before the cropping/filtering. Procreate still feels like a an unnatural tool for me to use, and even moreso when it restricts the amount of layers I can use unexpectedly...

I've been meaning to write here but my index finger mysteriously began hurting a few days ago, which made typing painful. That specific pain is gone now. I still had the arm pain from a month ago, so I went to physio for the first time this week. The physio told me that I have bad posture, a very stiff neck, and high pain tolerance (as they jabbed their very strong fingers into my neck and noted that most people wouldn't be tolerating this, whereas I just laid there without much reaction, but in my mind I did find it more uncomfortable rather than painful; this also reminds me of a time I was put between wood planks and then someone used a bat/hammer to smash things on top of me, a the science center). Despite the real talk, I have a good feeling about this physio as a healthcare provider. Each session is $100+ and I'm fortunate that (a) the pain should be reversible and preventable and (b) I have some insurance to help cover the costs. Now I have to do some simple "exercises" (they're more like stretches?) every hour and follow-up appointments. I've never heard my neck bones (cervical spine) grind/crack this much before. I have been inconsistent at remembering to do them every hour, so I should probably set a timer. Love my sedentary office computer life.
Recently and strangely, I've been feeling good every time I wash my dishes and clear out my sink. Truthfully I don't let that many dishes accumulate, firstly since I don't own many dishes to begin with, and secondly because I hate bugs (and don't want to leave dirty food dishes out for them to feast on). Other things that give me a huge sense of satisfaction include cutting my nails and my hair. Those two things really make me feel "reborn" in a way that is perhaps (highly speculative) akin to reptiles shedding their skin. Indeed, my own skin is has a scale-like textures and is flaky, due to the drier climate.
I've been doing a bit more "in real life" crafty artsy things lately. Put in more yellow/orange things into my house 😂. Enjoying the new sight lines towards bright colours, nature vibes, diy, and art, no matter where I turn my head.
Today's music: Look What You Are Doing To Me feat. Phonte by Jazzanova. I was trying to find out if I have posted this song already, then realized that the search function on this blog 100% does not work HAHA. This Jazzanova album has been on my playlist for 10+ years 🎵 more goovy uplifting vibes.
