#Inktober2016 Day 23: My husband and I have been catching up on a lot of movies/tv shows/anime on our “To Watch” list, and I amused myself thinking of boring ways you could tell a story.
No one likes to watch a protagonist make a straight path to their goal, getting what they want. 😉

Day 7: An observation during my lunch break today
An idle thought that I actually said out loud in real life.
My husband took the dog to work for National Dog Day. Meanwhile, I continue to be the smelliest, laziest person during my sabbatical.
Two weeks ago, I was laid off. This is the 2nd time I’ve been laid off in my career. It contrasts greatly to the 1st time I’ve been laid off because last time, BOTH my husband and I lost our jobs around the same time. Having just bought a house a year prior, it was a very scary time for us.
(Luckily?) this time around, it’s just me. I usually handle this sort of life-altering news with a strange calm (probably shock). No matter how you deal with it, my heart goes out to anyone who experienced this, especially right now to my other teammates who were laid off alongside me. People can be dismissive of these life events, especially in creative and volatile fields such as mine, but I am so very grateful that those who have supported, encouraged, and even just checked in with me, far outnumber them. Thank you, all; you are the best.
#Inktober Day 29: I just can’t win.
#Inktober Day 28: Awhile back when I was down in the dumps about my artwork, my husband framed my worries with the question: “What would your 7 year old self think of everything you’ve accomplished?”
When in self-doubt, it always helps to get a reality check from the “you” that was inspired in the first place.
#Inktober Day 23: Now I know why my Dad always kept the heat low in the house during the winter.
#Inktober Day 22: Posting this a day late. Adulting is hard. Also, my lead is awesome.
#Inktober Day 19: The rainy Seattle weather does wonders for my hair.
