I hate sensitive skin so much. At any moment a skin product that didn't irritate me might irritate it. Rash up... Need a bandaid? Despite using sensitive skin bandaids and being extra careful peeling it off not only is the skin around it irritated but some of it is torn.

I'm having a flare up of a chronic skin issue too. So I keep having to lay down and have Ian regauze and tape the area so it doesn't tear my skin.

I am extra frustrated today because last night I couldn't get comfortable and ended up aggravating the flare up by scratching.

I also feel like I do right before my period.

Haven't had my period in a few months, am perimenopausal... But maybe she's coming or maybe my hormones are a mess. I do have polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Jasper cat is still slightly wobbly from his pain medicine. Last night he seemed like he might be in pain from his arthritis and the cold. He seems to be feeling better and is currently shouting at my husband. Because he wants cuddles and food but Ian is still at the computer doing engineering things.

This post is super whiny but then again when I'm in pain my inner 5 year old is out. And she wants cookies.

Best part about it being so cold to a native Floridian is every time I turn on the electric blanket for warmth I get three or four cats clustered around me.

The downside is that I was so cold I didn't get to the computer like I had planned.

I did try following a coloring tutorial for icons but I don't think I liked the results enough to do it again. It involved a lot of painting sections of the icons in different colors and in the icon I made the skin got washed out something awful. Tried a crop with the image of Martha that was one of the sample caps and it washed her out to a very pale that was distinctly not her dark skin. I did however learn some new techniques for enhancing hair. Going in with a pink brush on red hair and then a yellow brush and then black to enhance shadows did look lovely.

Most important it was not stressful and I'm not feeling like I might have a rage stroke.

I am still very worried about the situations the USA is in

And hoping the threat of everyone else is enough to keep his hands off the big red button.

I am so tired but I am also awake. It's very annoying. And my husband is snoring loudly right next to me, which feels like he's rubbing it in that he can sleep. I took a sleeping pill so hopefully soon sleep happens.

I spent today playing Satisfactory with Ian. It's a game on steam where you build a factory and Ian had been wanting for us to play together for some time. It crashes on the steam deck every now and again now that we are in the endgame but I'm having fun.

Then I made a few icons and finished up one of my tables for daily icons. I am debating signing up for a drabble challenge but also kind of hesitant.

Same for a challenge centered around case fics... I have a few mystery story ideas it could be fun to write but the high pressure of writing a gift can be stressful.

I have a few more days to think on that one.
