Wear the red pants!!

Happy Post-Holiday!! I am on doodle 100. We got a raise at work. I am off tomorrow - and the laundry is mostly done. All in all I am feeling OK. Yesterday I donned some fun socks and my bright red pants and felt very much in tune with my colorful sense of self. I am going to post some of the Color Cube doodles in the next few days and by the 1st I will have my 100 - and then on to the next.

January is going to be busy with work. With the raise and the overtime, hopefully I will be able to throw a bit into savings for London.

I keep being asked by theatre folk to participate in things I don't have the time for yet. But hopefully when this handful of trainees makes it through there will be more consistency in my schedule. This bitch needs some dayum WHIMSY in her days!

I have been attempting to stay off the political side of the internet to protect SOME amount of peace. I think it helps somewhat, but then I also feel a bit guilty for feeling uninformed.

Yesterday I woke up and went to TikTok and the algorithm gods blessed me with a middle-aged Chinese lady playing buckets and various kitchen items while singing ... Chinese folk metal? I am not sure how to categorize it but I NEED more of that in my life. Also on the internet I heard a very astute lady refer to perimenopause as "Cougar Puberty", so that also made my day.

Trying my best to stay positive about 2026. Taking steps to a few goals and striving to adjust my self esteem to a level where I find the time to take care of myself. I have to be able to walk miles in London and I have been sitting on my arse too damn long! Tomorrow is another day, snitches. Definitely posting some art and doing the never-ending housework. There will be music and dancing and weird walks from one room to another. There will be singing to my dog - it's a good thing he is going deaf. lol

Later taters. Embrace whimsy. Wear the red pants.
