So, health updates:

I had my MRI on October 18th, it was the wrong scan, so I had to redo it on the 21st. What's strange is the 1st scan showed something on my left hippocampus, so I wondered if it was possibly from epilepsy? Uncle Dave had looked up the possibilities, and said aside from stroke, all were treatable. Then stranger still, the second scan showed nothing was there!

The following week I hallucinated in distress that my SO Karasu had heart problems and told me he had a heart attack the past Thursday (the 19th) I would later learn the same night that my muse for Karasu, Atsushi Sakurai of BUCK-TICK, had passed away the SAME past Thursday of a brainstem hemorrhage … which stunned me when I realised later that could've been me, if the strange abnormality on my left hippocampus had been dangerous. I'm saddened to lose a role model, but somehow more grateful to be alive.

I went to my IOP intake yesterday. I was early, thus was seen by another than the person I was supposed to. The lady who did my intake was gracious enough to help me get a refill with a psychiatrist there who came in, and evaluated me which will be continued on Monday when I start groups (3 groups a day x 3 a week).I have to squeeze in seeing my social worker each week, so I will be busy going out four times a week … and hopefully start back at church on Sundays, and one of their life groups during the week as well. That will all be new for me, as I rarely go out by myself.

The lady who did my intake also let me have some of the chocolate in her heart shaped glass bowl, and let me take photographs through the window of the bird sculptures and gnomes. She related to my daydreaming saying she believes everyone has done this at some point in their life.

Other things I liked: the plants in the waiting room, the painting on the wall, the desk lady's grandchild's drawing of a cat, and the fake tattoo of a glittery pizza on my psychiatrist's arm she said her toddler stuck on her the night before, hehe. :3

The little guys!

I actually made these during a stream when my game crashed. These are based on the lovely creations of Monsieur Cailloux. I unfortunately cannot afford to buy one of his ceramic sculptures but I was inspired by their whimsical look and felt like they belonged in the monster-themed office I'm putting together.

Since I had the air-dry clay from the plant trays, and had been wanting to try faux-glazing with watered down acrylic, I went for it! I was also able to use the texture rollers on two of them.

Note they are meant to be streaky. I know that's not everybody's cup of tea, but the monster office is meant to feature roughly-made monsters on purpose, sort of like children's sketches come to life. (I'll have to post the mural at some point - you can kind of see it in the pictures but believe me, you cannot imagine the nonsense.)
