Weekend work (22-24/9/2023)

I decided that the 3rd thumbnail from last weeks progress would suit my idea the most. I decided to create rough idea of what I'm visualizing on a larger scale using water based markers.

I did the background in monochromatic grey tones to try make the colour of the silhouette pop out more. I think the perspective in this piece is alright but the proportions of the figure are completely disproportioned. I like this idea but it doesn't feel quite right.

80’s music is honestly the best music out there.

Puts me in such a good mood and happy place.

so my colleague and i were recruited last minute last week to help out w/ a grant we’re (our company) is collaborating on [part of which is due today] which meant that on friday we were frantically trying to piece together information and write what was asked/expected of us without all the necessary info to fucking write the section. then yesterday, she [the PI] asked for more, and last night at like, 2am, sent 3 additional emails requesting more specific description of the methods/analysis section. 

I’m annoyed because

a.) we don’t have all the info we need to actually write these sections b.) she keeps bothering us on the weekend, although i don’t really have anything better to do so whatever c.) my imposter syndrome is flaring up hardcore

I got 4 pages out of the 5 I have to write, now doing a bit of reading before finishing it and starting to revise it. I also need to study for my exam next week + read 2 plays and an essay for next week's courses, but we'll take them one thing at a time! (i need the candles because the smells calms me so much)

how's your weekend going?

This weekend I exerted THE MOST self-motivated productivity of my life.  No one was coming over I had to clean for, no landlord was coming to check on the property, I wasn’t working on a project, I wasn’t told to by my husband or parents and it wasn’t an assignment.  I simply got moving and stayed moving cleaning, organizing and doing yard work.  This has never happened to me before with this much output.  

On top of what I mentioned on Saturday I also scrubbed my shower till it was sparkling white, mowed the lawn and went on a five mile walk.  On Sunday, when I was supposed to have a guilt-free lazy day, I spent over four hours working on my front walkway taking back the sidewalk from an overgrown lawn.  We didn’t have an edger so I used a shovel and tons of elbow grease.  I ended up with a scraped knuckle, dripping sweat from every inch of my skin, covered in dirt and a nasty sunburn on my back.  BUT, it’s done and I’ve been wanting to do this for about a year so it feels real good to have it done.  

Needless to say, I’m sore today and even though I didn’t go for my walk on Sunday I sure didn’t feel like I skipped my exercise.  I’m angry at the scale for showing a gain despite all this activity.  Granted, I did eat more than normal but I thought I had to in order to fuel my body for all this work.  Oh well.  

Dinner on Saturday night was a bunless five guys bacon cheeseburger and on Sunday I made us wraps.  I’m tempted to order pizza tonight to get back at the scale but I won’t because I know it won’t help.  Maybe in a week...

Woke up with a headache and moving slow today but nothing can take away from how good I feel about what I accomplished.
