Nix/86 – Diary Comic – Days 52-54

ALT TEXT – DAY 52

Day 52. It’s Wednesday – normally my most achy day. But my body is actually feeling ok today – or – not too bad. My guts on the other hand are revolting vigorously. Maybe too much creme pie. Each day is a new challenge – and i’m quite sick of having to work through all of them, but still I persist. I’m devouring books – my happy place – and felt today like I had a good day of creativity and balance. Beginning to feel the saturation of consumption/inspiration carefully tip-toeing around ideas and stirring the creative juice. We are not alone in our struggles – whatever they may be. Ever. We don’t always need to push through these struggles. Sometimes we just need space to simply be! And sew whatever and wherever those struggles take us next.

The background of the page is purple with darker purple dots splattered across the entire page. From the bottom of the page emerges white rectangles bordered by light purple lines like a cityscape.

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Chill turkey day at home. We ate some turkey breast, homemade stuffing and gravy. My guts finally stopped revolting. No pie (sad face). We watched the latest South Park, and started the final season of Stranger Things. Chill day overall. Legs have been bugging me – need to move more. At least i’ve been getting up and down more.

Day 53 – 0 Steps

There is the outline of a left hand colored in arcs of ballpoint pen in red, green, blue, and orange in the fingers, and brown in the body. The hand has a wing, feet, beak, waddle and a black hat. The “hand turkey” is standing on a line of green grass.

Black Friday

I normally boycott black friday but I needed some base layers, and a present for KP. So took advantage of two sales. The ACA subsidies BS is gonna hit hard next year. Need to save whatever I can. That’s the reality of now! FILMS. TV. BOOKS. MUSIC. Day 54. 4 steps.

Trying to keep my brain occupied while my body is trying hard to start moving again. One day I feel great – the next not so much. Making sure I do what I can when I can and keep myself “moving” in some fashion. Even if it’s just some extra neurons firing.

The background of the page is a solid black.
