@blackgirlinmain Also, any unexpected expense feels like a lot.

[Elphaba (she/her) @Elphaba117]

@blackgirlinmain I feel like feeding 6 of us is expensive even when we had to heavily budget. Eating out even fast food is easily over $50-60.
Getting coffee out is incredibly pricey - when I lived closer to coffee places, I’d have one nearly every day, but now it’s more of a treat.

@ramyeonjpg I think water is a bit magical for regulation

Haven’t been on in a while - life and whatnot, but I’m still here, still trying to return to art where I love it again - some recent work:

@RVAwonk It’s awful.

Still working on learning panpastels - I end up combining with pencil and soft pastels…

@laurenancona Also, it’s worth considering that clocks have evolved and we carry digital everywhere. Our kids need to learn different skills than we did, and that should probably be okay.

@DannyDeraney @Crosbydoggy My buddy, Roger. These are my last pics of him, as he crossed the rainbow bridge last week - he was a very good boy. ❤️ Loved pizza and pumpkin cake.

Ask me
what my soul looks like
and I’ll say maybe
a bit like wildflowers
blooming, slightly
muted by the rain.

@Davidjsalter Me too! I was just talking about the same frustration earlier today. Your Eagle is awesome. Here’s one of mine -

@Chewy Our newest addition :)

[Elphaba (she/her) @Elphaba117]

@slouisepetersen I regularly cook and prepare for a household of 6, and I still don’t really like leftovers with very few exceptions. :)

[Elphaba (she/her) @Elphaba117]

@CosmicLoz It depends, but usually an hour to hour and a half. Some things are more detailed or multiple subjects, and that can take a couple days of work.

[Elphaba (she/her) @Elphaba117]

It’s been a long while since I last posted. Lots of things have changed in my life, nearly all for the better. Feeling very rusty with artwork but here are a couple recent works #art #artist

Little chickadee hates the cone of shame, but worth it because she is finally fiiiiiixed. 🎉
