Sometimes when I feel like I ought to do something that I don’t want to do, I have a conversation with myself about what I would feel better having done, and end up doing that thing I didn’t want to do, but I feel better about myself for having done it.

I don’t know for sure, but I bought myself an iPad last year and I’ve been doing some sketching whilst I familiarize myself with it and work my way up to maybe painting something, so I figured it would be rude not to share.
“I’ve been really dragging ( tried to come up with a better word and failed, b/c it actually describes how I feel) lately, and it’s been showing.
This isn’t supposed to be work.”
Not a lot to say tonight, because I’m tired. I tried to come up with a good pun but I couldn’t. At least I did an interesting face:
