Wednesday 1 January

Woke up around 4am after sleeping well on sedatives. Had a bit of a cough and phlegm but that cleared. Was able to get cleaned okay. Will work out around 6:30am and run in the park this afternoon. Still working on my RPG guide. I need one other drawing, of a heroic character. And BTW, Happy New Year to everyone!

Worked out. Feeling stronger. May be able to clear my gut fully later. Working on the RPG template. Should finish by mid morning.

Going over to the old house to do more packing. My cough is much better but Mom’s is still a little bad. Will try to do some sketching over there to pass the time.

 

Mom is making lunch over at the old house. I'm there as well typing this on the Aspire netbook I left behind. Finished designing the example characters for my RPG template. Will render them later, back at the shoebox. Before that I want to go for a run.

Some sign was show to me. I killed a mosquito sitting on my netbook, with the notepad I was sketching on and it spread blood over the 'dragon's tooth flaming sword' I drew. Exactly the spot and nowhere else. There will possibly be world war 3 soon. Maybe within days.

Cobbled together a display stand for my Aerobie football out of a pizza spacer and some small end caps I got from HomePro. Not sure where to put it in my new cramped room.

…

Helped Mom make dinner. I prepared the Brussels sprouts just like yesterday. The Aerobie football fits on my desk, no trouble. I also finished the RPG template / guide. Will proofread it after dinner and release it on FreeLunch.my tonight.

Dinner was interesting. The spatula melted in our pot so I helped scrub the plastic off it. Then we tried frying the prawns and garlic in the tall pot at a lower heat which was a mistake -lots of water came out of the prawns. Thankfully, everything was edible if a little less seared than usual, back at the old house. Didn’t get to run today. Maybe just eat less and carry on working out.

Tomorrow, I may go on a long walk instead of sitting at home. Possibly, I will meet my cousin for lunch again as well.

Feeling good. My gut cleared fully earlier from eating fiery birds eye peppers. Took a shower and brushed. Will take my meds at 10pm and see if I can run a bit tomorrow morning.

Redrew some character designs for my RPG guide. They were pretty poorly executed. Looks admirable now. I used my Croquis pencil and a Speedball dip pen in cheap Herlitz ink onto ochre paper, then filtered them via Photos on this iPad. I did enjoy the retro experience.
