Today, I'm sad.

Overwhelmed.

Tired.

Feeling unappreciated

Alot of heaviness to be honest 🩷

@Amanda84

Ugh, sorry that's all happening, but appreciate your honesty. Is that related to stuff with your dad, or other things beyond that?

Other things beyond that, it's just heartbreaking to see my other siblings making no effort to come and see my parents and all that's done for them 🩷

"all that's done for them 🩷" - ah, you mean like your parents suffering because of your siblings not caring?

@PoliteOcean

Haha, I like that as a long-term project. Tired despite accomplishing goals/tasks, or because of accomplishing goals/tasks?

@QuietMagic

(Definitely despite accomplishing goals & tasks)!.. I try to set a bar for myself daily and always make sure to accomplish the bare minimum of it. And then of course push beyond that and succeed by days end.. 

But this past week was definitely a “bare minimum” kind of week. And sometimes we just have to be okay with what we’re able to accomplish with the energy we have to give toward those goals/tasks mentally & physically.

@PoliteOcean

That's nice that there's a "minimum" version of things and you don't have to do 150% all the time when you only have like 20% energy. Helps a lot with sustainability of whatever habits/actions you're trying to maintain--and it's also just nice not being cruel/heartless to yourself, lol 💜

some of the phone numbers were only on my cell phone so unsure how to get them back until the people call us so also kinda freaking out about that too one number  not have wrote down is dad cell number and he not answer their home phone so worried as we call him mostly to check on him and mom as both not in good health

💚 What is a long-term project you've been working on and how is it going?

@stormieandpaws

Oh wow, so sorry to hear that. Are there any mutual contacts that you know that might have some of the numbers, particularly your parents' numbers?

That's so cool that you found a different way to paint that lets you keep using your hands. You called them "paint brush markers"--are they different than normal markers?

@QuietMagic

was able to after we thought it through call parents home phone and dad answered that so had him call us back so have his number now was really stressing out on that due to both mom and dad health issues try to check on them few times a month yes they both have abused us but we still love and care about them even if we had to move away due to the abuse 

the paint brush markers have like a  normal paint brush tip so not like normal markers  they also at least set we have come with a water thing with  brush tip that you can blend the colors and even lighten  them  to look like water color paint

this what look like also this place we get most our art supplies as they affordable and great too it website  the art college  we went to gave us when we was going to classes to get AS degree in graphic  design

https://www.artezapaint.com/product/arteza-real-brush-pens-96-watercolor-pens-with-108-slot-case-drawing-markers-with-flexible-brush-tips-watercolor-markers-for-artistsartistic/

page that go to the one on set of paint brush makers  we have thought maybe would be easier  to show you then try explaining more

@stormieandpaws

That's fantastic that you got the numbers you needed so you can continue to check in on them 💜

Ah, I see! So it's like a pen but it does watercolor painting--and then you have 96 colors plus the blending, so there's a lot of control over what you want things to look like color/intensity-wise
