So I didn't finish doodling all the characters in my oldest art book, but my time ran out and so I presented it to my nieces. In retrospect, the younger one was probably trying to see I was actively paying attention by asking "what is this?" each time she turned the page, though I took points of psychic damage because I naturally assume what I've drawn (even in inexperienced quality) is still recognizable. 🥲 The older one, who is of the age at which I received the book, was fascinated enough to flip through before dinner, but when I explained my notion of letting them hold onto the book if they wanted, she said I didn't need to lend it to them. 🫠 Okay then. I did show the archer contrast I shared with y'all yesterday, to reiterate to the younger that I wanted to show how experienced artists start off drawing like children. And my sister also referenced a Bluey episode (which I have seen a snippet from) regarding art skill level improving by continued efforts.  Anyway, they'd had a lovely D&D themed birthday party, involving a dragon pinata, a monstrous bean bag toss game, a mimic treasure chest, and a roguish challenge of quietly navigating strings with bells on them.  I put together a Pokemon puzzle with the younger who then immediately tore it back apart while family was out saying goodbye to a parting guest. 😮‍💨 Children are monstrous sometimes. Anyway, I made it home safely... and I have lost my doodled art deadline, but I intend to continue since the book is still in my possession. 🤷‍♀️

Hi Flea,   I am really happy to see you.

yeah so this challenge went super well, obviously. between house drama and depression i just... did nothing. partly forgot about the whole thing, partly just didn't have enough spoons or fucks to care about it.      duo is a lying bitch I did no such thing. I think I opened the app once to try to figure something out for my father but I haven't done shit with it myself for months.

All of the space. In all of the ways that space can be had. [Copied and pasted from the most recent challenge because whoops, forgot about that one.]   1. physical space: - find homes for all the shit in my room that doesn't belong where it is - give away or otherwise get rid of the whole bin of stuff I don't want (by the end of the challenge)   2. mental space: - journal OR meditate every day (both is better)   3. financial breathing room space: - no more than 1 takeout order a day (ideally none but baby steps) - don't buy anything that isn't an absolute necessity   4. spiritual space? - someone help me out here idk how to spirituality - go to the library and get the books recommended last challenge

Excellent goal and excellent way to achieve it. 

Using up leftovers should count.
