Full Blown Cold or Something

I have headaches, congestion, a cough, a fever etc. This has been a long day. So was yesterday. Today though I missed a dr appointment and I’ve been sleeping most of the day. This virus or whatever is knocking me on my butt. Luckily I cooked a 4 cheese macaroni before I got really sick, and we still have leftovers. I don’t have to cook.

Brainstorming new website ideas has been hard. Submissivetradwife doesn’t make me sound like a real human. I chose my url for the key words that they might pull up on in an internet search in a rush. I think gingham trad wife, sparkling femininity, or something more sweet and whimsical might be best. Do you have any good ideas, dear reader?

I’ve decided my chapbook about the color pink will be made into an online zine. I don’t want to send it to publishers. Honestly, I’m still in the researching and gathering inspiration stage, so it’s a bit soon to make this decision, but I want to get plugged into zine making and meet more of the zine community. I want to use different shades of pink in my chapbook. I might include collage too.

I’m building an art website. Usually I share what I make on social media, but social media can be so toxic and I don’t like that Instagram is scraping everyone’s art to train their ai. I’m no professional artist anyway, but if I’m not making money off what I create, I certainly don’t want a godless corporation to profit from it in any way. And scrolling on social media feels like such a time suck. I want to have another space to share visual creations and meet other art therapy practitioners.
