Trying something new. A short comic on my love for a cold glass of water. A tiny pleasure in life and one of the many reasons I like winter. (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5nifQJWd-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m no photographer and at times I am a very bad plant-tender, so I drew the plants I procured last year from @urbangardenerto so they will be forever beautiful in my memory, even if I do fuck them up by mistake. 1. Tradescantia fluminensis/Quicksilver in a little mug I got in Merida, Mexico 2. Sansevieria/Dracaena trifasciata/Snake Plant in a basket I found on the street. 3. Zamioculcas zamiifolia/ZZ plant in a pot from @urbangardenerto 4. Peperomia caperata in a drip hanging planter that I got from someone on bunz. 5. Pilea in a pot inherited from a pal. 6. Maranta leuconeura in another pot from bunz. 7. A little baby snake plant in a pot I found in the coal store of my house.

I made these candles for gifts this year. Last slide shows what one of them looks like on an actual candle. Might do more of these this year as it was an easy and fun gift! https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwu7SeADsZ/?igshid=mu9i4ivmubl1

I love @grasslandsflowerco ‘s work. I was sad I couldn’t get a wreath in the end so made this drawing inspired by one of their arrangements. If you’re in Calgary and need some florals in your life (because flowers are nice) then their arrangements are always absolute BEAUTS.

A pause in the facetober posts (which I will finish, I’m just taking my sweet time) to post this pic I made for my two spooky pals @bigshinygloom and @sister_snail who recently moved so much closer to me and I was so happy they are new neighbours that I made them this picture, featuring their cat Bumblestiltskin ( @kitty_biscuits_incorporated ) and some spooky and green trinkets.

More food from memory and notes on their new tastes. I think at the beginning I thought everything smelled and tasted weird because the things I ate most commonly at that time tasted and smelled the worst. One of the first days I noticed my taste was wacky I’d made a very bougie smoothie of banana, dates, oats, maple syrup and it just tasted like soap. I thought I was just shit at making smoothies but then more and more foods smelled obviously weird to me. I got my pals who live with me to be smell checkers for most things, as I didn’t know if something had gone off or if it was just me. Turns out it was just me. “Everything tastes/smells like soap.” Image ID: black line drawing of push top soap dispenser with red hand drawn words that read “Everything tastes/smells like soap” over the top of the drawing. 1. Onions (and onion rings): Taste good! Aliums have been good to me in this time. 2. Orange pekoe/English b-fast tea, and coffee: NO GOOD. Chai tea: Good! Not normal but not bad. 3. Porridge/oat meal: Tastes normal. I make mine with salt and water. I have never made a good “fancy” porridge. I like it simple. 4. Potatoes: A bit “off”. Can’t put my finger on their weird taste. Saved by aforementioned garlic. 5. Cinnamon things: Not normal but not bad. (Square cinnamon cereal.) 6. Mushrooms: Good and normal! Like tofu, they don’t add any weird or bad flavour to a dish. 7. Raspberries: Not bad but not the same. 8. Bread: Doesn’t taste the same. Not bad, but not great either. I usually love bread. :( 9. Some of my new common phrases: “did they change the recipe?” “does this smell weird to you?” “does this taste the same as it always has?” https://www.instagram.com/p/CCybb0GAoyR/?igshid=1bv17jry6xdwg

What foods can I draw from memory and how do they taste? This is basically this series. It’s been over a month now and my taste and smell still aren’t what they used to be, so maybe this is also my “new normal”. “I don’t trust you.” Image ID: black line drawing of nose and open mouth showing tongue with red hand drawn words that read “I took you for granted.” over the top of the drawing. Around March 19, 2020, my senses of taste and smell completely disappeared. They came back almost a week later, but two months later, around June 11, they went funny again. In March, wacky stuff with smell and taste were not yet “official” symptoms, and I was not tested for COVID-19. I have since tested negative twice, but know the tests are at best 20-30% FALSE NEGATIVE. 1. Pecan Pie: Did not taste bad, but did not taste as sweet as something 95% sugar should taste. I ate it for breakfast 4 days in a row. 2. Pineapple: No good. Smells like soap. Did not taste. Same as melon and mango. 3. Olives: Taste like normal! Salty. Bitter? Stuffed Olives: No good. I think the tomato inside? I started eating a daily olive to see if my senses came back. [they haven’t] 4. Strawberries: No good. Taste and smell like soap. 5. “Powerade” sports drink: No good. Very good. Coke and Canada Dry: Not good but not bad. 6. Bananas: VERY BAD. & I love bananas. :( I am realizing how much of my enjoyment of life was enjoyment of food. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrtqZsA8HT/?igshid=urhvuc8lxb8g

I am very small and I am doing my best, please be nice to me. This is the first thing I've drawn in over two months for @bigshinygloom 's birthday of his and @sister_snail 's cat, Bum. (at Bum Bum Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CABOzrpgjoR/?igshid=b45dizzqsuxy
