I definitely have to make it up by the end of the year (just so the annual post count can be a nice round number), but I don&#8217;t really know what I&#8217;m going to write about. Maybe I&#8217;ll actually post all the pictures from my backlog.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway. I&#8217;m sitting on the stage of my brother&#8217;s school&#8217;s gym at at 8AM because there&#8217;s volleyball practice, and he wanted me to come watch. I figured I&#8217;d at least get some things done while here early. It&#8217;s been&#8230; kind of crazy-busy lately. I also got my flu and Covid shots (as well as my cramps) on the same weekend, so I was pretty much just a gelatinous mass on the couch. I went around the city doing Various Things and it was fun! Let&#8217;s sum it up as briefly as I can before we get into the main topic:<\/p>\n<p>October: Gloria turned 20! She&#8217;s my baby sister!! I took like ten minutes out of our mall trip to get a fifth piercing (it&#8217;s healing nicely so I may get another one sooner than I thought), and we eat a lot. We watched a lot of movies. <em>Farewell My Concubine <\/em>is so good, truly a spiritual experience. We had kids over for fun, and then Halloween! Gloria and I supervised Gabriel and his friends, and in the daytime, I dressed up real dumb for school.<\/p>\n<p>November (thus far): Steadily getting colder, with a solid temperature of zero entire degrees this morning. Gabriel and I got haircuts, vaccinations, mysterious bruises and cuts, and gelato. School is tough for all kids (including 20-year-old kids), and I use a lot of lotion.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Cool. Okay. So what was I going to write about today?<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really want to do a mental check-in, but maybe a small one. I&#8217;m not exactly a happy guy even if I&#8217;m doing well, though I&#8217;d say I&#8217;m fairly comfortable. More so than last year and the past ten years, actually. I may not have a steady source of income nor a driver&#8217;s license, but I have my faculties mostly intact and I have my younger siblings as company.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway! I want to try to draw more. I even got a display tablet to persuade myself to draw, though I&#8217;ve only used it as a lightbox to scan old negatives. Drawing is also going to be an integral part of my upcoming residency, so I&#8217;m going to have to get myself back into doing it daily (or as close to daily as possible) again. That&#8217;s it for now&#8230; I didn&#8217;t end up writing much but I <em>will<\/em> upload some photos eventually.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/efef5b444bb2293d160775398e31ef12\/566cca911774cbc7-80\/s2048x3072\/a301a6a96d35d8fd326e8066b9c353306c9710f8.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u971c\u964d\uff0c\u7acb\u51ac\u3002 \u597d\u4e45\u4e0d\u89c1\uff0c\u6709\u70b9\u4e0d\u597d\u610f\u601d\u3002Once again putting two posts into one.
