...and finally.
Neat.
Today would have been Mom's 86th birthday.
The Grief Recovery Handbook
I saw this the other day and it made a point for me.
Oof.
That last paragraph puts into words what I couldn't - I feel separated from myself right now.
Been reading a book on grief. Exhaustion and anxiety from grief so wild. I never know what I'm going to get hour-to-hour, much less day-to-day.
That's what they are! Based off the original sketch. They even come with a repro.
Now it's time for ice cream and dissociation.
Today is my Friday and it's been a long crummy week and I needed some toy time, so I opened my Sketch TMNT. Yeah, these are cool as heck. Well done.
My work desk buddy for the day - Clawful! I think he's my new favorite MOTU Cartoon Collection figure.
But Andrew is right, it's because of how much I loved her. But I remember the hugs and the laughs. And I have to remember to honor her and celebrate her memories and the joy that she brought me and everyone who met her and loved her.
The Andrew Garfield and Elmo video touched something profoundly deep in my heart today. I've been feeling absolutely devastated lately about Mama B's passing. It's hit me harder now it feels than back when it happened.
Today is the 8 month anniversary of my Mom's passing. If you find a moment, please say a prayer for me today.
I know I'm not on here much anymore, and a few of you have reached out to me to see how I'm doing. NGL I'm struggling, y'all. Somehow 8 months later feels worse than when all of this started. But I'm still here. Still working. Trying, sometimes failing. Restarting therapy.
Funny not funny? Logging out of work and immediately bursting into tears sobbing while I'm filling my air fryer full of waffle fries and chicken nuggets LOL
All good, bud, still here.
I never knew Norem did Visionaries art.
More of my stupid toy drawings.
In a sad, weird convergence of dates, my Dad passed 26 years ago today, and my Mom passed 7 months ago today. Love you and miss you both.

I have a physical tomorrow and am also getting the finger.
...bro
I'm at a similar place. I'm looking at boxes of canvases and acrylic paints and dozens of pencils and I was thinking of just donating it all.
So, maybe please @ me all the funny things? All the booby things? All the cat things? All the anythings?
