Before I actually address the surgery I just had…

I was fortunate enough to be able to get into the Kickstarter for this and get my family a Wisp the cat plush around everything else I’ve been doing, and been having to do! The Kickstarter for this ends in a few days, and within a few months ours should literally be sitting on our doorstep. I am so excited for this. I love Wisp.

I am how many days out from surgery now?

I suppose I’ll come back here and write about it in more extravagant detail as I continue to heal, am in less discomfort, and have more energy, but in the interim I’ve been editing videos from raw footage that I’ve had on hand to give myself something to do with the downtime that healing from surgery entails. This is fun!

I am continually surprising myself finding that video editing, at least in my experience, is much like riding a bicycle. I was my high school’s daily show’s senior editor and… became so fairly quickly through being the fastest typist and most adept with the computers that the early 2000s allowed us to have on hand, although I hate to make that comparison because repeated seizures have taken some of the things away from me that some of you reading this might take at least a little bit for granted. My sense of direction is absolutely shot to hell, and I get disoriented and lost in places that I do not constantly frequent extremely easy now.

I finally made a decision on my YouTube branding!

I’ve come to have a special place in my heart that hates Canva, but it is what it is.

A lot of the best graphics designers love it, and take to it, for some reason, so if I want to be able to work with them in any capacity I don’t have that much of a choice (correction: I have no choice). I’ve got a banner designed that I think I like a lot, and I’m working on an intro that I can tolerate. All I have to do is begin churning out thumbnails if I want them since I’m on the fence about those, probably make an outro to go along with the intro — I know I’m going to do that while I rest up and recuperate from my tubal ligation and I’m going to call it a day. A day. One of many that my hatred for Canva continues to persist. It is what it is.

I might rewatch House (M.D.?) though even though it is no longer on Netflix. Have they no shame at all?
