i didn't realize until today that i totally forgot to post anything Sunday. i honestly didn't even realize it was Tuesday until i wondered why Kyu wasn't home yet. Tuesday is Muffin's late day at work and since she's his ride, he tends to stay and help when they need it.

anyway, last week was a pretty good one overall. my bad ankle gave out again on the third, so walking for parade-y things (or anything really) was kinda painful on the fourth, but worth it overall to see everyone having so much fun. Moose picked up dad and met us there (i was sitting with a friend and her family) and after i went with them to dad's new place and we talked for maybe another hour. Moose was talking about visiting dad more often now that he's so close, and since i'm easily on the way i'll get to see him more than just a few times a year now, so that's cool.

i've had trouble focusing lately. like i'm pretty used to my moods ebbing ad flowing, but the fog of depression has lifted a bit and i have so many IDEAS it's been really hard to focus on any one of them long enough to get anything done lately. i want to be painting, but i also have ideas for traditional medium drawings, and bits of prose for the story i've been messing with off and on for about two years, and doll outfits, and dolls as a whole (that i totally can't afford at all). and there's just so much stuff in my brain and i'm worried that it'll all disappear before i have a chance to get even a fraction of it down on paper or even partially realized. inspiration is a fickle thing.

i wanna do dolls of the three main characters i write when the words will come, but they've been planned for months, so there's not really much to think about. my latest dolly inspiration is that i wanna finish out the family. like i have FaithAnn representing me, and Rosalie is Moose. i've had plans for Robbie (to be Rory) for a long time, and one to be Kyu too (though his name has changed a few times). i wanted to do dolls for Jenni and Bonnie too, but the right faces didn't exist. i know i can't find perfect likenesses, but i wanted five faces with similar jawlines, but either eyes or mouths like what we really have so i could play up the similarities via faceup for decent likenesses, and there weren't enough choices for a long while. i think i've found them now though, so i really wanna figure out how to earn enough money to bring them home and have all 5 siblings (and a best friend). Rory and i even talked about naming conventions for them a while ago since we're each doing our sibling sets in our own favored sizes, but using the same names for the same representations.

in the course of the cleaning and rearranging i've been doing i've realized just how much doll stuff i have that i really don't want, so maybe when i finally get to listing and selling that it can bring one of them home. if i'm super lucky maybe even all three, who knows? xD it's not a goal really, like "earn x amount to fund purchase y", but it's a thought to keep in the back of my mind.
