Mermaid Painting

This gave me a little opportunity to work on painting human anatomy.

I will take a better photograph of it (a less blurry photograph) before uploading to Deviant Art.

Surrounded by Comforting Things

Sometimes I'm so overrun by scattered thoughts that it blocks me from writing coherently or on a specified topic. I can't sort through all the chaos -- as entrancing and lovely as individual elements of these thought strands may be. I have been looking at a lot of pretty pictures in LiveJournal communities lately (my favorite post was probably one on galaxies...) These pictures and collections give me a warm, comforting feeling. Maybe sometime soon I will make a picture post of my favorite things for my own personal journal.

I want to surround myself with beautiful, happy things. I want to take better care of myself and my possessions. I've been making many lists of my favorite things and things/people/creatures that make me feel happy and at peace.

Tomorrow afternoon I should be spending with my scrapbooking friend, April. Then I will be off to see my psychologist whom I like. I did tutoring today and there were a couple Burmese guests -- one of whom was able to do some translating for us to make things easier. The girl I tutor is most definitely pregnant, though I have no idea how far along she is. I should be tutoring them through May, maybe longer if I want and they want. The whole baby thing might change that arrangement, and my time commitment comes up in May. My mother needs to go back to work soon and I tutor mornings right now, so I might need to switch to students who would be available at nights or weekends.

Pictures of Things I Love

This is a picture post of things I love. It's very image-heavy, so you might want to skip over it if your connection is slow.
