snow maybe?

It's been really cold here (for the southern US, anyway); there's a dip in the driveway of the apartment complex that often collects rainwater. I refer to it as 'the moat'. It iced over; this afternoon I watched some of the neighborhood kids remove some of the thin sheets of ice and break them on the street. It makes a sound like shattered glass--I used to go out and do the same with my brothers whenever it got cold enough.

It might snow tomorrow. I don't have work. I don't have work Wednesday, either. I expect that most places will be closed. I don't mind; I had no plans except to meet with the librarian at my old high school to ask her about an MLS and different career paths. We can reschedule.

I've done some coding today; I figured out how to use the text editor app on my mac to code and preview web pages in-browser so that I don't have to have all these near-pointless updates or work in the neocities browser anymore. Maybe this will make things smoother for me.

I think tomorrow I will try to work more on the site and on some of my writing. No art; I'm taking a breather from my art (again). I did end up deleting instagram (also again lol). Probably for good this time. I think this has been my 5th(?) time and I hate it every time; I'm gonna try to make myself stay off of it for good. That said, I still want to make art but I think it's wise to distance myself until I feel like making it again.

So yeah, no art for awhile.

I hear that Americans get snow really bad compared to us Brits. We just get pathetic flurrys whereas you probably get proper snowstorms.

I feel you on taking a breather from your art. You gotta do what you gotta do. At the end of the day, creating is a very personal endeavour so it's something that should be done with YOU want to do it, not when you feel like you MUST do it or something.

It's certainly bad in the north. Since I'm in the south it wasn't so bad. I did get 2 snow days out of it though because there was ice and people in the south don't know how to drive in the snow and we don't salt the roads down here so what can you do lol.

Yeah, I've decided to try not to even think about opening Procreate and give myself however much time I need. It scares me a bit because sometimes I'm nervous that weeks will turn to months will turn to years. I've found some amount of enjoyment in making pixel art, but still.
