lookit all did therapeutic illustrated journaling

this is what I do on my lunch breaks when I get sick of knitting

 

I have been working through my , ~* ' sad feelings ' *~ , in this way. I want to write postcards but I also don't want to be the kind of person that writes postcards full of sad things. I have been eating lots of icecream bars and trying to , ~* ' communicate ' *~ , even though that really just spreads the  , ~* ' sad feelings ' *~ ,  around. Maybe tomorrow I will buy some stamps.

On the upside, I can't remember when I was last this productive.

person sized

My pride and joy. He's big enough to come around with me piggyback, and takes up half my bed when we sleep. He is friendly and doesn't eat my cats.

I think he's my soulmate.
