…so I said, ha! Your mom’s so stupid she needs LLMs to help her do stuff.

I’m excited and nervous – I’m not going to tell you why yet. I also feel slightly miserable because I can’t find the drawing of my pigtopus, AND it’s so hot, with yucky air.

I put an inhaler in my bag so I don’t forget it if I go outside. I’m ok with staying inside forever.

Dre bought me a 3M mask, but I can’t put it on cause it’s gonna mess up my hair, which I shouldn’t care about. It’s easier to wake up my fro than it is to get fine particulate matter out of my lungs, yes.

Restless energy: I rearranged my room for the third time; wanna see? (sometimes i still rearrange stuff in the kitchen and drive the boys crazy. lol.)

“Mom! Where are all the dishes?”

I’d like to get a funky banner or maybe paint something on the wall where I sleep and write. Some colourful stencil Bohemian/Moroccan thing would complement the room. When one of the boys moves out, I will make this my full-time creative space and sleep somewhere else.

Slowly finishing the layout of Kai the Rocket Tree I am. Kids’ books don’t take long to write; getting the layout, page-turning flow, and artwork just right is the most time-consuming part.

Then I get distracted cause I’m trying to do cool shit with CSS. The best improvement is making the hearts move in my koala behind-the-door image. KoalaHearts

But I have to remember my book is more important. So I keep a copy of The Troll and the Ballerina on my desk. BTW: My poetry collection paperback looks amazing.

I made the cover glossy. The skin colours inside and out are flawless. 😘

And in between all of this I been doing a food elimination diet, imperfectly – but so far, I definitely shouldn’t be having any:

• Dairy
• Grains (wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, etc.)
• Nightshade vegetables
• Chicken eggs? Not certain yet – I seem good with snake eggs

Ok, time to get back to business. I’d move a lot faster if I spent more time working vs. lying about eating.

You good?

Good!
