Wow. I've really been slacking on this thing.
In new news:
Tommy called today with news of when he'll be home for leave! Longer than I had hoped, but shorter than I expected, so I suppose I can't complain too much.
Two of three sittings done toward my half-sleeve, it's turning out nicely, all that's left to add is a bit more color, shading, and some details in the space around the dragon.
I moved into the house July 1, it's a bit hotter than I had hoped, but it's starting to feel as home-like as I plan to make it for the six months I'll be in it.
I bought another BPD book, read it, and made an appointment with a local doctor. Hopefully this one will be better than those I've had in the past. I don't want pills, I want to face the problem and get through it once and for all.
My sister is staying with me for a few weeks, we've had fun. Her presence has kept me from retreating into my own mind, where I had been going more and more.
I've been reading more and more, tearing through books as I did years ago and watching endless documentaries on Netflix. I suppose starting back to school has reawakened the unquenchable thirst my mind has for knowledge.
That's about all of the new news I have for now.
I may post another entry, a bit more serious than this one, very soon.
