Did it again, two more to go and I'll have drawn more in one month than in the past four years. Thanks Eggtober for being irresistible enough to get me out of the slump.

Today my therapist told me it's ok to do nothing, and reminded me based on what I've told her I actually am doing like one or two small but real things every one or two days, and that that's enough, so just gonna add this to my mental health affirmation meme collection.

Eggtober 2024, Eggs As Medicine

Take one to two daily with water, butter and salt.

I've been wanting to get back to drawing for a while, but I've had a block for some reason (mental illness). My desk is also not always accessible in that it's right where my fan blows and it's too hot not to have it on, and it's often covered in piles of things I don't want to deal with, though that's definitely a bad excuse because I could always just move stuff off and then put it back on without putting anything away, but I just don't. I also don't necessarily like the process of drawing/painting, I just like the results. And I also just haven't had an idea so compelling that I have to get it out like I used to get sometimes. So I think it's been at least three years I've been putting it off. Seeing the Eggtober illustrations by @quezify make me so happy, and I wanted to be a part of it. The first few days of the month I just didn't. But I thought maybe I'll just draw a ton of simple eggs, maybe one a day, it would technically count. That lead me to think of doing one of the drawings of my medication, which was the last thing I was drawn to draw as it were. So I traced my pill box, and loosely traced some eggs quezify has shared from other folks participating this month, and I got through the block. I'll try to do a few more, I'm pretty sure I won't be capable of going every day, but if I do one of these each week that's 28 eggs, and maybe along the way I'll think of three more, perhaps painting from life, or some of my dad's full dozen of double yolkers. Maybe I'll try playing around with color even though I don't feel like I have anywhere near the skills of some of my favorite colorful eggs I've seen posted, or ever where to start, but it's low stakes and I know I should just try. Thanks so much to quezify for the inspiration, maybe this will help me back at it in the months to come. Fried eggs 4ever.🥚🍳🥚

Last month I found Pure Moods Vol. 3 at Miranda’s Thrift in Arcata, and played it during my radio show to celebrate. I kept thinking about how I wanna find Volume 1 to get all those truly classic tracks, and yesterday found it out front of Old Town Antiques when I quickly peaked in one of the cd bins walking by. To hear my selection tune in this Sunday 9am to humboldthotair.org or check out the archive for two weeks. Another very specific cd manifestation, on a wonderful roll. ✨📀✨

Played an Arcata Community Forest Show as Jackalope Jill with Gunsafe and Lxs Perdidixs and it was as magic as the light we passed on the walk out.
