Week Ending 7/30

 Well, that sucked...

Have I gone good day/bad day to good week/bad week? Because the week before was pretty darn good and this week was crap. No energy whatsoever and my Sims game crashed and burned. I'm still not entirely sure it's working again. 

Other than that... no really, there is no other than that. This was just a rotten week. 

Next week will be better.

Week Ending 7/23/23

 Good week, rotten Sunday. Is two weeks in a row enough to make a trend? Probably not. 

My big news is I managed to get a lot of painting in... so I'm going to show off a little.

I call her Angrboda, Warqueen of the Riven Hills. The mini is a Darkoath Warqueen. 

The Godspeaker and her Godsworn bodyguard. The mini's are the Godsworn Hunt.

These guys are clearly nice, civilized folk surveying land for a new settlement out in the wilds... the wilds that full of barbarians, monsters and worse... (the guy on the right gets it).

Clearly, the wilds can be a dangerous place...

So, yeah, that's pretty much what I did with my week. It was fun.

Week Ending 7/16

 So, other than yesterday, last week was pretty good. I had decent energy just about all week. I mostly binge watched early seasons of Bones. I got the last chapters of Wyrd Girls - College Years posted. I painted some minis. I felt pretty good... good enough to once again struggle with the inherent frustration of having more ambition than energy... but all in all it was a good week.

Yesterday, I crashed hard... but on the good day/bad day scale, 5 good days to 1 bad day is a damn good balance.

Week Ending 7/9

 Pretty good week, looking back.

I've had a couple of odd days, where I woke up around 4:00AM and gave up trying to go back to sleep around 6:00. Just couldn't get my busy head to stop thinking. Still, managed to make a decent run of those days. I mean, If I crash around 10:00AM that seems early, but if I started my day around 5:30AM that's actually a longer than normal day.

I managed to finish writing the drafts for my upcoming chapters of Wyrd Girls, rounding out the Wyrd Girls College Years storyline. Those will go up on the story blog Monday - Friday next week. I'm excited to release those and see what my readers think (both of them... but hey I'll take what I can get). 

I also managed to get in a couple of Age of Sigmar games and did some painting. Nothing finished to show off, but some exciting ideas.

I think, really, that my biggest struggle this week is that, while I have a little more energy than usual, I've had a lot more ambition. I wanted to write. I wanted to paint. I wanted to play Age of Sigmar. I wanted to work on my gaming stuff. I wanted to... Well, the list goes on. My ambitions far outstripped my ability and managing the frustration that comes with that is a skill I'm still working on.

On last funny thing... I got a very excited call from my lawyer. He didn't actually say the words "Holy shit, we won!" but the message come through loud and clear. Of course, I'd emailed him to tell him when I got the letter... but, like me, he didn't really believe it until he got a letter himself. He was thrilled. I still owe him a positive Google review... which I will absolutely and unhesitatingly provide him. If you're in southern Indiana of the Louisville Kentucky area and looking for a good disability lawyer, let me know and I'll give you his particulars.

Well, that's my excitment for the week.

Onward.

Week Ending 7/2

 Well, other than the excitement from earlier in the week, this has been a pretty quiet one. Mostly just recovering from last week's trip.

OK, I'll be honest, it's been frustrating. Yesterday, I did nothing. Well, I called my mom and I watched a disappointing live stream from Games Workshop, but I didn't get to work on any of my stuff. (I blame Games Workshop.) I spent the rest of the day in bed, fading in and out. 

I still do nothing very poorly. It's a skill I need to work on.

Looking at the numbers, it's actually been a pretty normal week... which means I also need to do a better job not overdoing it, because after the week before, I need to be resting a lot more.

I'll work on that.

Week Ending 9/7

Hey, it's me... So, after kind of a rough week, I finally realized that I just wasn't giving myself enough grace to recover from las...
