It was an emotionally low day, and I was also unlucky because I was not able to sleep the night before. I miss my grandma, Pat, KC, and Christian. I want my mom and my Dad to love me. I want to hug my mom because she was just a girl once, 20 and 30 once, and I think she deserves love and a break and for people to be nice to her and for her to be nice to herself.

It's a lazy day! The New Year's yesterday evening celebration wore both of us out, so we had what seemed to be a contest to see who could better impersonate a couch.
I made a pouch for my pens and markers out of some pretty yarn I hadn’t had an idea for about a year. I am very pleased to have my pens more organized and in a beautiful drawstring pouch that matches the color of my journal. While I made my pencil bag, I binged Promised Neverland. This is the second time I have watched this anime, and I am enjoying it just the same as I did the first time. The story progression is smooth and well-paced. I want to read the manga for this one.

We watched a very interesting micro-documentary about ancient Mexican symbolism (think hieroglyphics) and the history of written language as it was in the central and southern Americas. Something cool about the hieroglyphs was that the image used to represent the word for people is used in textiles from that region today. I want to pay closer attention to Mexican textiles and see if I can observe other motifs from the ancient writing style used.

All in all, it was a good start to the new year. 🙂
