rain came pouring down when i was drowning (that's when i could finally breathe)

song+ Clean -Taylor Swift -1989
book+ nothing?
quest+ more Pokedex Challenge
upper+ Halloween approaches
downer+ insomnia again
attire+ pajamas
drink+ water

so reality managed to sneak up on me, and while i'm still pushing forward with the Pokedex challenge, i'm only working on it a few days a week. no way am i gonna manage to finish the remaining 200 or so in like 3 work days. i consider getting 9 done in one day good progress. xD i can still take what is done along as sample work though, so i'm pretty sure i will be doing that.

some of this last week has actually been spent on other things though, overhauling some of the outdated sidebar stuff on this blog, starting work on my first custom Monster High doll. it's been very stop and go as i've compulsively researched every step multiple times before attempting it, and i've also had to pause more than once due to lacking the right material. it's still moving forward though, and when she's done i'll totally share pictures. i'll probably even manage to share them.

i started sharing the ad for Halloween Comic fest on Facebook this week. i figure two weeks out is a good time to start promo, since last year was the first year it happened and not too many people had heard about it. i don't expect it to match FCBD, but i'm optimistic that turnout this year could beat last year. i'm also cautiously hopeful about tips i may earn, since ideally they'll fund my Christmas shopping this year. i've been preparing, doing everything i can to be ready. the only variable i really can't control is people actually showing up, so promo posts are being made. both Kyu and i have posted about it, and mom did too, so that's at least a little more information out there.
