slept like shit blah blah blah (+ a new sketch)

slept like shit last night. couldn't sleep for ages and then i had weird dreams and then i kept waking up. at one point i was laying horizontal across my bed lmfao? fucked up my back

i didn't get out of bed to brush my teeth until like 12:30pm, and then i just laid back down and watched youtube for awhile. i finally got up at 1pm only to....sit down at my computer instead of like, eat breakfast or anything. i've already surrendered to today being a write-off. at least i go into work an hour later than usual today (i work second shift). 

it's nice being back on some sort of platform. i've silo'ed myself into my website for the past few months. it's been really fun and rewarding but it's a lot of work! and i want to maintain some level of consistency and quality. coming back here to shit post and not have to fiddle with markdown files or pushing updates is a relief lol. that being said i'm a huge data hoarder; i might end up archiving these posts on my site as a "diary" or something. we'll see. 

i got a new tablet yesterday and i like it a lot. i've been using a huion kamvas 13 for years. it's great but overkill for me these days, especially when i've now got a convertable yoga thinkpad i can draw on. also, it isn't playing well with linux mint (i used to be on windows when i first got it). 

so now i have a huion inspiroy h1060p. it's awesome. i prefer the pen tablet over a display tablet tbh. better ergonomics and easier setup, so i'm actually drawing more. did my first sketch last night to test it out. no reference or anything. 

here it is:

not sure what else i wanna do with my day.....i should probably at least go make some food and tidy up a bit. 

my wife remarked last week that she was feeling bad too, and was super confused until she finally realized that it's about the time seasonal depression kicks in. that definitely helped explain my mood, too lol. so i'm trying to go easy on myself and not get so hung up when i have days like this. it's just my brain doing stuff through no fault of its own.
