I don't know what's in the air that's triggering my allergies to go into high gear, but it's definitely getting me down today and putting a damper on my creative desire.
Antihistamines and Tylenol have taken the reaction down a notch, but I'm decidedly tired and cranky from feeling under the weather.
A little etch art doodle was accessable, and made me feel slightly accomplished. There's always the inner critic that is going to say it isn't good enough, that I need to do more for it to count, but meh?
It counts, it's what I can manage, and that's good enough. The point was it was five minutes of fun.
I picked up two packs of these tiny Etch Art papers at Goodwill today. They're fun in that letting the inner child play sort of way.
Self-care before bed. <3

Should I be singing? Not at all. But I've been sick for 3 weeks now and barely able to talk for most of it and I'm jonesing for some singing. So am I fucking up my throat even more by singing? Yes. Do I care? Not right now. Though I'm sure I'll regret that tomorrow. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I told ChatGPT to reword two of my poems to make them rhyme, but keep as much of the original wording as possible, and ChatGPT delivered. It couldn't do one of them because of the content of some of it, but still. I like how they turned out. ^_^

3 poems down now and I finally feel like I have my head on straight again. I still have a lot to get through though. But at least now I'm not losing my mind. I couldn't even concentrate on repotting my tomatoes because my mind was weighed down so heavily. Time for a break.

It's been about 20 years since I wrote a poem. They've never been good, so eventually I just stopped. I wrote one earlier today, and I wish I had something better to write about. It's still not a good poem, but I have a lot of identity issues to face, and this seems like the most natural way to face them.
