Nothing Major, I Got A Nap

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! I finally got some sleep. It wasn’t a much but at least it was a restful two-hour nap that I am so very grateful for. It was also a much-needed nap that I needed think I would be able to get due to the fact I have trouble sleeping when it is so sunny outside.

I am not sure what I am going to do next. I know I want to do some form of art but not sure what type of art I would like to do. I am not sure if I want to color or if I want to do diamond art/painting. I really enjoy both types of art.

In all honesty, I am most likely going to go to park and read. The weather here in Seattle is absolutely beautiful and I might as well as take advantage of it. One of my favorite things to do is go to a local park and read. I get some sun, and I get to read; two of my favorite things.

Diamond Painting Slowly Progressing

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! If you read my blog on the regular basis, you know that I am really enjoy doing diamond art/painting. In fact, I have been working on this particular diamond art/painting since this past Saturday, and it is Wednesday. The diamond art/painting that I am doing is one of a tuxedo cat in a tree. As I have mentioned in previous blog post, I chose this particular diamond art/painting because my own cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. It is my plan to share a picture of the progress I am making on the diamond art/painting I am working on.

(So, if you are sight impair or blind I will be adding captions to the pictures I will be posting.) The pictures are following this sentence:

Dealing With My Anger

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World (again)!!! This is my third blog post in a matter of a four and a half hour time period. If you read my last blog post, you know why I am so freaking angry. After my last blog post, I tried to go to sleep but sadly my anger got in the way of me sleeping.

Since anger got in the way of me sleeping, I decided to journal about my anger. Journaling or writing about my anger is quite helpful for me and my mental health recovery journey. The reason journaling is about my anger is helpful for my recovery journey, it is because I tend to stuff my anger. When I stuff my anger, it tends to boil, and I end up emotionally exploding on people or I end up self-harming. Thankfully, I have not self-harmed in so long that I don’t remember that last time I did it which is good thing. Sadly, I have emotionally exploded and on people that I love and care about. So, journaling about my anger is form of harm reduction for me. Journaling about anger is a form of harm reduction for me because it allows me to not stuff my emotions as well as to emotionally explode on paper and not with people. Not emotionally exploding on people is a good thing.

After being done with emotionally exploding on paper I decided to do some artwork. The type of artwork I decided to do was diamond art/painting. It is the same diamond art/painting that I have been working on for the last few days which is the tuxedo cat in a tree. Doing diamond art/painting is a long process that teaches patience to people who don’t have any and is very enjoyable to do. I really love doing diamond art/painting because it is fun and is teaching me patience.

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is three thirty-three in the morning here in Seattle. I am sadly unable to sleep partly due to insomnia and partly due taking a late (and long) nap yesterday evening. I normally would care if I took a long nap in late evening, but I am glad I took mine yesterday evening due to being woken but by the storm at two sixteen in the morning, yesterday.

Since I am unable to sleep, I decided to do some artwork and listen to a podcast. The type of artwork that I am doing is coloring. I started a new gigantic coloring page of a mandala. I love coloring especially mandala’s. As I colored, I listened to a podcast. A podcast about philosophy. The podcast about philosophy that I listened to is Philosophize This. I am really enjoying this podcast and learning about philosophy.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post except I want to get back to coloring and listening to a podcast. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Stormy Weather + Anxiety About Job Interview = Doing Diamond Painting

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is still quite stormy here in Seattle. May people have lost power. Thankfully, I have not lost power, and I hope I have not just jinxed myself. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself because I have a virtual job interview on Zoom. Having a virtual job interview on Zoom, one must have electricity and working internet. So, I am hoping that I don’t lose power because I really want to do this job interview as I really want this job, and this windy weather is causing me anxiety about not being able to do it.

To help combat the anxiety I am having regarding the job interview, I am planning to do some artwork. The type of artwork I am doing is diamond art/painting. The diamond art/painting that I am doing is the one with the tuxedo cat in a tree. I am glad I chose this particular diamond art/painting because it reminds me of my own tuxedo cat, Billie. I am also very happy that a neighbor introduced me to diamond art/painting. I really enjoy doing diamond art/painting.

A Sleepless Night in Seattle

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is two sixteen in the morning here in Seattle and I am unable to sleep. I so wish I could sleep especially since I am not feeling very well. I am grateful that I got a good night of sleep last night but sadly having two nights of a good night of sleep was not in the stars (pun intended).

Since I am unable to sleep, I decided to get up and work on some artwork. The type of artwork that I am choosing to do in the middle of the night is diamond art/painting. I am working on the diamond art/painting of the tuxedo cat in a tree that I started a couple of days ago. I am really happy that my neighbor introduced to me diamond art/painting as I really enjoy dong them.

As I do diamond art/painting my cat, Billie is in lap sleeping as I listen to a podcast. In fact, I am listening to a podcast on philosophy. The philosophy podcast that I am listening to is Philosophize This. I really enjoy this podcast and learning about philosophy this way. Hell, this podcast has gotten me interested in philosophy and to read books on philosophy.

Seattle Weather + Depression = Time to Color

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! Right this very moment in my Seattle neighborhood it windy with a downpouring rain. This weather is normal for Seattle this time of year and it sucks especially when you struggle with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) along with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Both types of depression are common for many people to have in Seattle and some of us like myself have both. Having both types of depression especially in Seattle, sucks but knowing how to cope with the depression is key to making sure it doesn’t get the better of you.

Not letting depression get the better of you is to realize what help you cope with depression. For me one of the ways I cope with depression is various types of artwork including but not limited to coloring. Coloring is something I have enjoyed since childhood. I did not stop coloring when I became a teenager, nor did I stop coloring as an adult. I love to color and truly enjoy it which is why I am going to color after I am finished with this particular blob post.

It’s A Slow Progress on Current Diamond Painting

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! If you are a regularly read my blog, you know that I am really big into doing diamond art/painting and recently started another one. Doing diamond art/painting is time consuming and at the same time really fun to do as well as a sense of accomplishment once it is finished. I love doing diamond art/painting and I am so very grateful a neighbor in my apartment building introduced me to this wonderful artform. I am going to include a picture with captions for those readers who are sight impaired or blind.

The diamond art/painting of a tuxedo cat is slowly progressing.

The Waiting Game

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is nine thirty-six in the morning here in Seattle. I am waiting for UPS to deliver on of my medications and I am getting frustrated. I have never had any of my medications delivered before and I am not if I am going to ever do it again. This is why I prefer going to a brick-and-mortar pharmacy as I hate the waiting grame.

As I wait for UPS to deliver my medications, I will be doing some artwork as my cat, Billie sleeps in my lap as he snores. The type of artwork I am planning on doing is diamond art/painting. In fact, I will be working on the one I started yesterday, the diamond art/painting of a tuxedo cat in a tree. The reason why I chose the one I am working on is because I am partial to tuxedo cats as my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I really do enjoy doing diamond art/painting.

My Fifth Post of the Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is three thirty-three in the afternoon here in Seattle and the weather is still yucky. I am also still not feeling very well which really sucks. As much as being sick sucks, if I wasn’t sick, I would not have needed to miss my volunteer shift at PAWS Cat City which means I would not have been able to do some artwork today. As much as I wish I could have volunteered at PAWS Cat City today, I am happy that I was able to some artwork.

As I have mentioned in my multiple previous post today the artwork that I am working on is a coloring page and diamond art/painting. I even posted a picture of the coloring page that I started as well a picture of the diamond art/painting that I had not yet started at the time of my last post. I have since started my diamond art/painting. In fact, I took a picture of the started diamond art/painting, and I will share. I will put captions on the picture for those who are sight impaired or blind. The picture is just below this paragraph.

The starting of the diamond art/painting I have chosen to do. It is a tuxedo cat in a tree.

As you can see above of the diamond art/painting is that of a tuxedo cat in a tree. I chose this diamond art/painting because it is of a tuxedo cat and my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I admit it that I have a bias toward tuxedo cats because of my own cat, Billie and I am not afraid to admit it.
