Did you know that you can make fake 3D pixel art in Blender by just like turning anti-aliasing off?? And pixelizing post-effects? Sounds super simple but it took me forever to figure it out.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac except it’s playing through your car’s old radio cassette player as you drive alone through the desert at night. As far as you can tell, the nearest human life has got to be wherever that distant thunder is rolling in.

The past two weeks have been pretty rough. Aside from work becoming increasingly draining (I’m an assistant dietary manager at an assisted living facility so food service + medical) I’m still recovering from a rather persistent chest cold. On top of that I injured myself at work yesterday which resulted in a pretty gnarly sciatica flare up that has lasted into this evening.

In light of all this I’m trying to teach myself that it’s perfectly okay to withdraw and focus on self care and if someone feels otherwise then that’s on them. I should never experience shame or guilt for being unable to help others during this time. Especially when I’m barely able to take care of myself. My health and general well being should take priority over anyone else’s.

It’s been difficult.

So today I went out and bought a new sheet set for my bed (it’s a very lovely pastel yellow) and lightweight quilt with a floral pattern on it, that way I can still sleep with a blanket of some sort when it starts getting warmer out. I also intended on dying my hair this soft bubblegum pink but I couldn’t get my hair light enough and the dye itself is so light that it just won’t stay. So I’ll have to figure something else out.

anyone else at that point where literally anything could happen and you’d just be like “yeah might as well”
