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.
