cartoon craziness challenge, life through the lens, motivation, school, stress, the world is full of fucking idiots, work

What a day. I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever make it out of there alive. And I didn’t even totally finish everything. But I got to a point where I was so extra crispy that my boss told me to get the hell out before the phone rang again. I’ve got no idea at this point how many voice mail messages I’ll be walking in to on Monday morning or how many emails. I could get the email from home, but I’m too scared.

At any rate, it’s over. The week is done, the semester will start on Monday, and my calendar is decidedly less fuck-ish. And I get to see T-Bone Monday afternoon. So yay.

Moving on, here are a few slightly more interesting things to share…

cartoon-craziness-challenge-bannerThis is my mythical creature entry for this week’s Cartoon Craziness Challenge.

2014-08-22 17.16.39Don’t ask what the fuck it is, I’ve got no clue. It was fun to draw and it’s got wings, that’s all that matters. Oh, and I might see if I have time to do another since Juls and I decided to give ourselves 2 weeks this time instead of just one.

 

through the lensThis week’s Life Through the Lens challenge is “miraculous.” I really had to think about this one for awhile. I finally decided on this picture….

P1080342This is from when I graduated with my first Master’s degree. I started it just to see if I could do it. I had my mental health Dxs by that point and felt like I needed to prove to myself that I hadn’t lost my edge. While I was in school I ended up being hospitalized for a suicide attempt. In spite of missing an entire week’s worth of time (classes were only 6 weeks long), I earned a B in the class and went on to graduate with a 3.8 GPA. I’m quite proud of myself for that.
