Really hoping the IRS lets me and my sister finish closing out my late mother's estate tomorrow.

This dragging on over a year is just emotionally slashing me.

Need to get more happy things to look forward to.

I miss talking to her. Morning coffees. The little things.

#XiliLife #Grief

I know its overkill, but if the end goal is Toonboom...... *eyes digital store*

For now though, to the dayjob grind again. :/

#XiliLife #XiliDayJob

Now to figure out how to cram a little bit of social media time into my little free time block for October....

#WingsCrossed #XiliLife

I'm SOOOO not looking forward to this month. The only relaxing thing I have is a few cartoons -_-.

Work... Estate issues from my late mother. Project work.

I vow to stay away from my Sake cabinet though....

#XiliLife

I wonder which of my Lucid replacement orders is going to give me a VIN (and thus complete first), the Blue Tesla Model YL or the Purple Rivian R2.

I know what I'm hoping for, but I NEED something sooner than later :/

#XiliLife #EV #ElectricVehicles

What kind of monster makes an electronic device where the springy side of the battery slot is on the positive terminal????

#XiliLife #XiliRant #BadDesign

YAY! #XiliLife bills are paid.... project bills are paid. And I only blew my personal budgets by .... not horrible amounts!

Now, I'm going to withhold buying the new Control game until I clear out other installed backlogs, but....

Hellcat Helping!!!

My late mother's birthday is tomorrow. I hope she'd be proud of all the stuff I've been doing. The pivot, the storytelling, helping people as I can, just everything.

Everything I am because of her. From her Kindergarten Teacher-ness to her ferocity when a friend was harmed.

<3

My 'Mood Wall's in clear view of my telework camera. My work life starts on the right and moves to the left progressively over the course of the day.

(Spare desk in frame)

I need to stop selling my #XiliLife to work and start hitting up conventions.

Maybe I'll make it a 2027 resolution.

Biggest thing is I need my kitty to NOT need Chemo and meds every two days.

So maybe once i get her into remission maybe? And stop living to work.

Two things to fix ^^

Cancelled my Steam Frame reservation. More important to throw money at critically needed art stuff. Priorities ya know. (Plus justifying that headset at $1200 when I got a Pimax and Quest 3 just.... yea no)

#XiliLife

Limiting this to people I'm following to not get bots (hopefully moots too), but anyone interested in a Playstation 5 Slim (Ghost of Yotei Edition)?

I'm not using it and it's in good working order so I'm hesitant to 'scrap it'.

Looking for a foster (not a buyer).

Hey, I got some basil sprouts coming up from my hydroponic experiment.

#XiliLife #Hydroponics

Doesn't matter if it's AM or PM, I get anxious I'll never find time to do what I want at 4:04.

Every day it's the same thing.

#XiliLife #BadPuns

So tempted to move all my project stuff over to Proton. I'm having serious issues trusting Microsoft and Google with my scripts, concept art, game code, etc.

I mean, proton services still have some AI but it doesn't seem like they randomly flip it on.

#XiliLife #XiliProject

Oh.... Well then. I apparently kick-started TWO robo-lawnmowers.

It's no wonder my bill last month was high O-o.

(Look, I need that to buy time to learn to draw ^^)

#XiliLife

Niece: "I hate math. This problem is hard."
Me, showing her how to solve a problem, "See? Easy?"
Niece, redoing the problem: "But that's done wrong. Here's how you solve it."
Me: "WTF???"

Common Core does NOT make any sense to me xX.

#XiliLife #CommonCore

Oh to be a kitty laying in your orthopedic kitty bed in the sun....

#XiliLife #Cats

And naturally I triggered myself to relive some traumatic memories again.

Losing both parents in a two year span...and mom was only a year ago.

Channeling my OC as a personal reflection always only gets me so far.

#XiliLife

Playing around with some countertop hydroponics before doing something bigger.

I really need to get more seeds though. Can't survive on basil alone ya know.
