birthday yesterday went pretty nice but today i woke up to the house flooded so who even knows man

Finally realized I’ve been brushing my cat wrong for the entire time I’ve owned her. Sorry, Blackie! ;w; This does explain why a cat who clearly loves her brushes, and I was told loves to be groomed, would never let me brush her for more than like a minute...

Moral of the story: If you’ve owned dogs all your life and suddenly have a cat, NEVER STOP ASKING YOURSELF “am I treating you like a dog.” because in retrospect the answer was obvious and I feel a little stupid for taking so long to figure it out. xD;;

Also I think I’ve been babying her too much... There’s a spot on her side that’s been damp every time I pet her for the past week or so, so I investigated today and there was the beginnings of a mat deeper down. She was a total angel while I dug in there and tugged the hairs loose, and didn’t protest at all when I’d drag her back to my lap to keep brushing her. (She usually likes to walk back and forth while I pet her.) She’d just stay put and let me drag out giant piles of fluff with the comb.

She even let me brush her tail?? That... that seems like a weird thing for a cat to allow?? ...Well, as much as Blackie CAN let me touch her tail lmfao. She’s always thinkin’, that one, so her tail is always going all over.

Made a few adjustments just to close everything up but I think I’m going to disconnect for the rest of the night so I can get started properly on everything in the morning. Think with a clear head, and all that. See straight at all, more literally, but. Y’know. Lot of stuff to delete, followed blogs to go through. Necessary work.

Hoo... It’s been a heck of a couple of days. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

@saofish Man, really? That’s just totally unacceptable. Like, I can work around it fine, I’m only making a scarf and it’s already striped, but like... I HATE WEAVING IN ENDS... ;__; I bought a multi color yarn so I wouldn’t have to! I might just keep knitting right over it... It’s a pretty small knot and it’s real tight. I almost ripped the yarn testing it lmao.

Oh what FRESH HELL IS THIS NOW!?

There’s a friggin’ KNOT in the middle of my Caron Cake yarn. Like, a two-pieces-tied-together KNOT. Not even a tangle. What the fuck. Michaels you have FAILED ME.

I suuuuuper duper hate to ask but if anybody would like quick $5 sketch commissions over the next few days so that I have spare money for food I’d be suuuuper obliged \o/

I don’t want to take anything big since I’m trying to finish what’s already in the queue but a few sketches I can get out quick. Asks or messages or replies all work fine. 

update Gretchen is a freaking SAINT so I will do requests tonight instead to spread her amazing good will.
