I am still flailing over Namesake. I think I may have to reread it, but I will have to half-inch mum's tablet to do that, since my computer has decided it likes crashing while I'm on the internet, too.

KERNEL UPDATE WHEN.

Also I have been ogling

secondlina's art (as I said in the previous post), and she is really inspiring me to be a better artist right now. Well, and a combination of talking to Chris about drawing, and him telling me about doodling while he watches TV (and showing me some of said doodles). So I've been drawing all week, and I've done two pics I'm really pleased with. I scanned them and put some digital colour on them (I just finished the second one earlier this evening). I think I might put them as prints in my Redbubble shop. They're actually concept art for my webcomic idea, but they both wanted to be full-blown pictures, so I thought why the hell not?

It's a very long time since I've felt this happy and confident about my art, so I might as well go with the flow, right?

Cat update: I have to take her to the vet for another blood test very soon. Last time was not great, her thyroid levels had gone back up, although only very slightly (I honestly don't know why the vet was so...well, she wasn't weird about it, but I still think she thinks I'm having a harder time medicating Jinny than I actually am). Anyway, she suggested radiation treatment again, and I said no, and told her why not. I don't think she was impressed, but I don't care. I don't want an irradiated cat, thanks all the same.

(I am tempted to wonder if she gets commission on referring patients to the radiation place? Because that's sort of how it feels. Or possibly she thinks she can wear me down, but I am not going to be worn). (If she suggests it again, I'm going to throw something, I swear).

Yes, well, it's not the vet who risks getting cancer from exposure to an irradiated cat, and its not the vet who has to scrape up the $$$$ for it either.

In my experience vets take treatment to extremes, and are never impressed when you put limits on treatment.

Definitely. Also I don't know how long Jinny's going to live and I don't want her to have that treatment, and then die not long after (I know that would be an extreme occurrence, but I bet it's not unlikely).

This is the most I've ever taken a pet to the vet, so this is all new to me. But it really doesn't surprise me that vets are like that.

My vet put a lot of pressure on me to aggressively manage my cats hyperthyroid, and then I found out later that she probably would have developed kidney failure and diabetes from the proposed med regime anyway.

That's interesting. Also thank you for making me aware of this. And I'm sorry that you had to deal with such a horrible vet.

It's a very long time since I've felt this happy and confident about my art Yes! I love that. I'm glad you feel that way too.

I have to do a lot of drawing today for my art class and it's crazy how much time I want to spend on every single sketch (we're not supposed to go over 15-20 minutes) I still feel so pleased with myself that I drew something anyway.

Ah yeah, I feel you! Art teachers often want you to do things quickly (as I'm sure you know). I can kind of see the point but blergh, I like taking my time with arts, too. I'm happy that you're pleased with what you're making, that's awesome :)

It's a very long time since I've felt this happy and confident about my art, so I might as well go with the flow, right? That's awesome :-D. Will you share your art with us as well?

Aye, certainly makes me happy :)

Yeah I will! I should get back into the habit of cross-posting; I kind of fell out of the habit because I've been thinking about other stuff.
