apartment cleaning habits that I am trying to … cultivate are still going well. Mainly motivated by my allergies. Yesterday, the left nostril suddeny started producing a lot of mucus. At the same time, my dog started sneezing like one after the other. Maybe 15 times. So, wiped the windowsills, vacuumed, and even washed the curtains in the laundry. Repositioned air filters… Another cool motivation is “study with me” and “tidy with me” Youtube videos. Keeping materials organized in the different areas can be so challenging. - dogfood cart - kitchen counters (small space) - clothes piles in bedroom closet - shelves in bedroom I’m gonna’ try to take the opposite attitude as the movie “Everything Everywhere All At Once”. Cleaning improvement habits must be One Thing, in One Place, at One Time.

here’s all the new flowers I drew for #nostrartstrMay2025 with prompts by @Rustypuppy I started them on a page where I had done a fanart of Willow’s palisman, Clover, from The Owl House. This was the first art prompt challenge I’ve done. It made me feel like a botanist / person who makes architectural drawings. Thanks for creating this art challenge and for the encouragement! #artstr #watercolor #gouache #coloredpencils

seriously. Talk about a warming trend. Now when you go out you need sunblock, a sun hat, and if you’re out for any length of time, the sun beating down feels fatiguing and enervating. ☀️☀️☀️ #weather my god! It’s everywhere!

😝 yes? no? maybe so! #artstr

lol, turns out I took a 4 day break from social media which matches up with the 4 days of cloudy (dimmer natural light), rainy, chilly May weather… Now we are in for a warming trend. ☀️ This Spring has been chillier, cloudier, and rainier than last year. I started a new floor-wiping habit, with the motto of, “on cloudy days, I will wipe the floor”. The first few times, the water turned a rich brown color. I was having some persistent mild allergies (tickle at roof of the mouth) that went away after wiping the floor. I hope to continue this cleaning habit because not having allergies and breathing normally is amazing. So helpful with meditation practice. I’ve noticed that with meditation, the smallest breathing obstruction, like a stuffy nose, is very distracting, and tiring! Also started a ‘sort of’ habit of using my colored pencils in a very casual way. At the gym, I went up the next level of weights … from 15 to 30 lbs. Inspired by an IG video of … an “Indian granny” who started resistance training at an older age and actually got rid of her knee arthritis symptoms through weight lifting.

I have an Instagram account that I use to browse art. I’m still processing the vibe difference of browsing on art IG compared with browsing the Nostr Bitcoin space. This photo below is a good example of the general attitude on art IG. Art IG peeps tends to be ~mostly~ women. Nostr Bitcoin space is predominantly males. It kinda’ feels like ne’er the twain shall meet. #artstr
