Survived the first week of public school as the weather here becomes windier and a bit chillier. Been working on my first music video with the MMD program all week along with dealing with everything else. Not sure if I’ll ever stop learning new stuff.

Notes
- first day of public school
- Therapy Tuesday – brought Scholar Owl with me to build him a mood tracker for homeschool
- Yes, I think I’m sliding into hypomania despite making myself go to sleep (this takes practice) I’m constantly resisting the urge to spend money and sometimes failing – when I bought the coffee at the gas station I bought the boys each a Beanie Baby while I was there – I normally just listen to music on YouTube and suddenly I’ve had the urge to hit Amazon to buy entire albums but haven’t done so yet, plus there is software that I want and nevermind the projects I want to start so… yeah… I think I’m skirting that edge – I mean as it is, I still haven’t finished revising my novel that I started last year
- had that weird pain just below my right ribs again (Piggie said it might be migraine related, so I’m marking it down)

Notes
- okay so the weird vision thing was the aura, just really early this time around and the rib pain may very well be connected to my migraines and have nothing to do with my gall bladder at all (my diet says it isn’t and scans up to this point says it isn’t) so I’ll keep tracking that because it feels like someone rammed their elbow into my lower ribs on the right side – that pain is gone now as of this morning but was there last night and now I have a budding migraine. Fuck. My. Life.
- watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 with my parents and Tuxedo Cat – Scholar Owl watched about half of it before getting super annoyed, no idea what his deal is with movies as of late but he’s been like that with every movie we’ve tried to watch

- still working on that MMD program – making a customized model is highly problematic for me but recoloring/retexturing/resizing and animating one of the default ones has been interesting; the lip synch program for it turned out to be easier to use than expected
