Well, we'll start off with the arty art news...and head into the other news. There is no new piece up on Society 6 this week..explanation will be in later paragraphs. NOTE: I do not set the prices on Society 6, except for the actual wall art. I needed to clarify that as a minion was asking about why my prices where so high. I have nothing to do with the pricing, except for the wall art, which I did raise to what my countries minimum wage will be next year. I am working on a new piece. It's coming along very nicely. I almost scrapped it, my noggin' beasties were acting up this week. I decided to stick with it and I fell in love with it all over again. It just took getting a few pink kinks out of my think and slaying the noggin' beasties. My noggin' is racing with ideas...and well, let's get into why no new art piece and the struggle with the current one, shall we?
My back is STILL out. Still seizing up, mainly in the morning and the evening now. One of my gamers', my "adopted daugther" is also trained in massage therapy and she gave me a treatment and showed the hubby, or Sen Pei as she calls him, how to do said treatment. I will say wow did that hurt, buuut, wow did that help. This morning I woke up, and while I was still seizing up it didn't take me 20 minutes to get out of bed and I actually got to sleep in the bed. That, my minions, is progress. The noggin' beasties were really running amok (amok amok) this week with the pain never ending. They were having a big ol' party and it got me in a dark place. I'm in a MUCH better place, even though there's still pain. I'm actually going to drive this week!! YAY!
In other news, this is a 2 parter...We'll start with the Day of Dad. We got me a new PC chair and had to haul it up to the apartment (no elevators here). My back was not happy...but we did it, and assembled it. It's pretty good. The only thing I'm not liking is how high up in the back area it is. That and the first few days I was having trouble arting in it. I have found a way to art and I'm kind of getting used to the headrest. It's extremely ergonomic and I'm a known sloucher. Yes, I know that's bad, but it is what it is. Dad day was really good. He had a lot of music to add to his MP3 player and it's always so fun to see what music he wants. He has so much variety...from stuff that is on the radio now, to songs' from when he was growing up, to what we coined "uber relaxing" music, aka Native American music. I for sure see where I get my eclectic music love from.
We had our return gaming session last night. After a month of plague, back issues...I finally was able to do it. Yeah, it was like herding cats. We got off point a lot and it was kind of annoying, I was even getting off point. I had a very good scene plan that got smashed to bits because of it. We usually do have trouble focusing after a long hiatus...this one felt worse than the other times. Maybe it was just me and having high expectations. I don't know. I do know that some of the players' really shined through. I was very impressed. We have another session this Sunday, hopefully I won't have to herd cats. I know I need to tweak a bit...again. Such is life as a DM. I have ideas...lots of them...I need to do some research and take notes, then type it up.
On that note, I shall leave you here. It's been quite the week and I'm hoping this week will be better. I need it to be. I'm hoping I'll be done with the current piece to be able to unveil it next update. Until next time, I bid you an adieu.
