@sunny: What's that? Sounds fancy.

@PurpdaBurpPurp: Ice cream cake is like a guilty pleasure for me. It's so bad for me but I can't resist it ;v; Black forest cake is a win, too. But more often than not, fresh baked cake is the way to go. I find frozen cakes, if you can find some with good ingredients, are probably second-best. Nothing beats fresh though! I would p much just stay away from the grocery store kind, though. The ones you always see at kids' birthday parties and such? Absolute garbage tier. Not even worth eating.

Shutdown hasn't affected my drink choice, so same as always: mostly I drink water, but I usually have a cup of coffee every morning. Sometimes I make tea at night to help me wind down before bed. I like to get kombucha or sparkling water every now and then, and sometimes I will buy a cold-pressed juice during my break at work for an energy boost. For alcoholic, I have fallen in love with hard seltzer lately.

I found a vegan carrot cake at Aldi; I was thrilled. Better yet, it's pretty darn good and the frosting tastes like cream cheese frosting, which has always been my favorite kind. Hard to find in vegan form. This is one reason I still occasionally go to Aldi. They have these nice little special items that pop in and out.

But anyway now I'm reminded of how long it's been since I actually had cake of any kind. Much as I like baking and decorating, I'm not a huge cake person... but when I do get cake, I don't like it too terribly sweet. Pumpkin with cream cheese frosting is my favorite, but carrot is a close second because they're very similar.

What's y'all's favorite cake?

Not really. I have made the rare piece of fan art from time to time for things I enjoy, but I tend to stay away from fandoms. I just don't love any one show/movie/whatever enough to follow it and its fan content that closely, though I skirted around the MLP fandom for a bit. It's the closest I've come to understanding the draw of fandoms.

I'm not... though if it was for PC I'd probably try it. >n>

What I thought was a cold or bad allergies has some weird symptoms and basically I've never experienced anything like this before. So I'm concerned that it might be you-know-what, but because I haven't had a severe cough, trouble breathing, or a fever, I feel like it's gonna be brushed off. Already made the mistake of talking to my grandma about it and that's exactly what she did. She even tried to claim that I probably felt dizzy because I'd been "laying around in bed", but I've been slightly dizzy off and on for the past few days and it's worse when I move around more. I tried to call my doctor, but it's Sunday so they're closed. So I guess I'll just have to call work and ask for their opinion, which I'm not really jazzed about. I'd like to wait a little longer and see how I'm feeling today so I have more to report, but I have to call at least 2 hours ahead of my scheduled shift in case they need to find someone to take my place for that day. So at most, I've got about 30 minutes to decide if I feel sick today, and I'm scared that if I don't feel particularly bad today, they'll tell me to come on back to work. Not that I like staying home and missing out on getting paid, but if I do have something and I go back this soon, it's guaranteed I'll be giving it to coworkers and customers today. Never mind risking making my own problems worse.

@ghost: PICKUP AT LONG LAST i got a little weird with the coloring oof

@Valefor: It's looking great so far! I really like the expression. If I were to make any suggestions, it'd be to make her a little rounder/chubbier ;v;

sorry for the slow responses again... would you believe the moment I finally get days off, I get sick. Wonderful. But at least I got one more done...

gimme some of that motivation pls i need a big cup of it. I have people waiting on art :^(

illness log, day 4: aside from lingering tiredness and mild signs of headache, my symptoms seem to have gone. No more sore throat, no more aches and chills. No idea what that was. I may never know. I have work tomorrow.

@Eruca: my kinda woman UwU too bad i gotta venture into the downtown area to find those

Well I'm feeling worse today instead of better, so I called in to work to tell them I'm not coming in tomorrow. Went to the store, still totally out of oat milk. And because I'm currently fed up and have no energy to keep experimenting making my own rn, I gave in and got soy milk. y u c k. At least they had my bread, and it was discounted, at that.

@koneko: it's there but it costs a few cents more and would take longer to get here than if i just got off my butt and went to the store X^(
at least my throat is slightly better. still hurts, but not as much as last night. sore throat is always the first thing to come and go when i get sick though so no knowing what will follow.

@Xanthan: omg that's exactly what i needed ty i am saved

@Eruca: always watching... but never helping >:^(
we will see what tomorrow brings.. hopefully it's not more sore throat

@Totalanimefan: no, 'cause I never left the house. Didn't feel up to it; maybe tomorrow... If not, I guess I'll try making my own again.
