This week: Parties, working again, painting, etc.

This week was my first week back at work. It was good to see coworkers again and get back into this way of things. In my downtime I made progress on my painting which I documented last week. I added quite a bit of green in the bottom left corner and for a moment considered that I didn't actually know which was the bottom left corner and tried looking at the painting from a few different sides. I still like it the way it's been going and I don't plan on changing that.

I also did some more research on traditional american style tattoos, and tried a few more designs with acrylic ink. I learned about spit-shading. Not sure how I feel about it. Seems toxic.

We threw a shindig for my partner’s birthday, which went almost entirely according to plan, minus a swarm of bees that enjoyed the food alongside us.

I also made it to a significant wedding for a beloved, old friend of mine. Words fail me to describe how special it was.

I started considering moving my site to Ghost (again), now that Ghost 6 was released. It has it’s own fediverse features in it now. By migrating, I could host my own blog and fediverse solution. I really liked Ghost, too, although there are trade-offs for both it vs a standard SSG. Either way, I’ll be doing some more writing soon.
