~Hello!~
Me again! Just checking in with you all! I hope June was a pleasant month for everyone! ๐
Luna (our pupper) still isn't doing very well - she's still herself, but she now has a problem with more of her paws, meaning we can't walk her again until they get better DX
We're keeping her cool in the tremendous heat at least and giving her all her favourite treatos! ๐
Couple tricks I learned through multiple sources to keep your furry companions cool:
Cool mat: Keep it in the fridge and then put it under a blanket for them to lie on.
Water Spray Bottle: Keep it in the fridge and spray them when they're panting
Wet Table cloth: Soak a thin cloth to drape over them to keep them cool
Iced treats: Broth or juice frozen in suitable sized ice-moulds, I have a bone shaped ice tray, she loves licking and munching them to stay cool X3
Cool water: I keep bottled water in the fridge and pour it into her bowl so she's got cold water.
Socks or Clogs: You can buy breathable soaks or clogs for their paws so they don't burn on the hot tarmac X3
Hope some of these help keep you little ones cool this summer ^^ ๐
Other then that I've just been working non-stop! Which is great! I love my work and I'm so happy so many people want to continue working with me! ๐
Thanks to everyone working with me so much, I've been able to pay off my car! Yay! So it's all mine to vandalise! XD
Went to visit my Dad for Father's day, he's not very well at the moment - mostly due to stress I think, but he's been better recently and I'll be able to see him again next month ^^
I bought him the recent Doom game, he's loved Doom since he was a kid - hoping it'll give him an excuse to take some time to relax X3
I've not had too much time to work on personal projects, Aultora or my miniature room box I'm making of Emmrich Volkarin's Necromancy room from DAV XD
but hoping to have more time later this month! ^^ ๐
That's about it from me! Tell me what's happening with you?
How are you and all your animal companions doing in this heat?
Look forward to hearing all about your month below and chatting to anyone in the mood to do so ^^ ๐
๐ Thank you for reading! Stay kind and amazing!~ ๐

Also, acquired a VR headset, so I have been playing beatsaber, which is enjoyable, and has been helping with my activity level (I have been very lazy recently)
One thing I really want to do this coming month, is get back to work on my story. I have neglected it these last couple months, and I think its time to get back to it xD Between that, and some travelling we are planning on, this should be a little busier of a month
Baldurs Gate 3 is a brill game, I hope you're enjoying that too! ๐ฅฐ
So cool! I've never tried a VR headset - looks really fun though!
I hope you find time in your busy month to work on your projects - thank you so much for sharing with me! ๐๐๐
So happy to hear that you managed to pay off your car doing the work that you love! โค๏ธ I love working with your wonderful self! Your art is so beautiful and our interactions always have me smiling! You are a how to interact and work with! โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ
Your dad is no doubt going to enjoy the Doom game!
I hope you manage to find time to work on your personal projects! ๐ฅฐ
June wasnโt too eventful for me which is a good thing, I started buying cherryโs again which were delicious! โค๏ธ I have ordered a lot of commissions from a certain wonderful artist and Iโm trying to decide what to order for July. Iโm planing to see the new Jurassic world movie with my brother week!
Continuing to wish you, Rhexy and your loved ones success and happiness! โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐
I'm happy to hear your companions are keeping cool! ๐ฅฐ
I love working with your-wonderful-self too! Means the world to me that you work with me as much as you do! Wouldn't be where I am without everyone's kind support! โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐
Ooo! Cherries! I love cherries, especially when they're fresh X3
And I'm loving working on each and every piece I have with you! ๐ฅฐ๐
I didn't know there was a new Jurassic World movie out soon! Can't wait to watch it! I hope you and your brother have a lovey time seeing it! ๐ฅฐ
Always wishing for your happiness! Tank you so much for sharing! ๐๐๐
I feel like I haven't gotten up to too much lately! Maybe that's for the best haha. I've been making a lot of bracelets recently for friends and myself, and that's been fun, although now I'm thinking I just need to open a store or something because I have too many beads and things lying around. Mostly I'm playing Pokemon Scarlet again now that the Switch 2 hardware makes the game actually work, so that's been fun!
Mostly I'm hoping for good fortune at my job still. Being a contract worker is tough haha. Pray for me that they keep me on after it expires at the end of this month!! <3
Always enjoy talking to you. Don't melt in the heat!
I'll do my best, I hope you take some time for yourself too and catch up on much needed rest/sleep ๐
Aw-nice! I'd love to see some of the ones you're making! I bet they're gorgeous ๐ฅฐ
Oh cool! I haven't played Pokemon in a while, but I still have all my old games XD think I still have Pokemon Red an my Gameboy colour somewhere XD
I truly hope they keep you on! I'm sure they wouldn't want to loose a hard worker like you! Always wishing for the best for you! ๐ฅฐ๐
Always love hearing from you - thank you so much for sharing with me! I'll do my best! Hope you still cool too! ๐๐๐
I've been alright though stressed on planning a surprise for my lady. Who would've imagine finding the perfect private place would be this stressful... Then bit of work stress but it has gone down from what had been in the past months.
Not much heat over in Mexico, we actually been getting a lot of rain but that has caused some floodings and cool weather. I fortunately work from home so I don't have to deal with the terrible traffic and public transport issues, and get to somewhat enjoy the rain :)
I'm sorry to hear you're having a stressful time with organising a surprise for your lady-friend, I'm sure whatever you're planning they will love it! ๐ฅฐ
I'm happy to hear things at work have calmed, even a little, I hope you find some time for yourself to relax and unwind between it all ๐
We get a lot of flooding here too - I'm surprised at how warm it's been this year, last year it rained almost non-stop. But working from home does give you the pleasure of watching and enjoying the rain from inside ๐ฅฐ๐
Yay benefits of working from home ^-^
Thatโs good that youโre taking good care of your doggo. My parentsโ dogs love ice cubes, just in general, not really to dodge heatstroke; I hope that helps them stay cool.
Thank goodness you paid off your car. Iโm so glad you love what you do even though youโre so busy; it makes me happy to know that.
Giving my best to your dad! Hope he can rip and tear to get his mind off things!
June has been busy for me too, but also fun! Making great progress in job stuff, working on some new art projects (including cosplay and EVA foam), and I got to travel a bit, which is always great. Trying to take care of myself as usual, but also know when to push myself, know what I mean? Iโm always looking for balance.
It has been HOT here. Finally got some good rain today, to my plantsโ delight. Even got some blackberries to make into a cookie frosting, which was great.
Your art and ideas always inspire me, and since Iโm doing ArtFight again this year, I hope I can apply what Iโve learned and come up with.
Thanks for always writing these journals! Itโs becoming a highlight of the new month for me!
Stay wonderful!
Thank you so much! ๐ฅฐ
I'm glad to hear things have been going well for you - I hope things continue to do so ๐ฅฐ
Good luck in the Art fight too! ๐ฅฐ
I always enjoy hearing from you too! Thank you so much for sharing! ๐๐๐
I'm sorry to hear about Luna; I'm wishing you both well and hope she manages to get better soon. ๐งก
The tricks are super neat, thanks for sharing those!
Awesome news about your car! Also sorry (again) that your dad isn't doing too well, I hope he feels better soon as well. The Doom game is such a lovely gift, too!
My month has been... well it has certainly been a month, hah! My mental health isn't great at the moment, which is why I haven't "been around" lately; however! I rescued a squirrel near the start of the month. I saw it laying on the grass in my garden, moving funny and went to check on it. It didn't even attempt to run away from me, and when I tested grounds on petting it didn't really do anything.
So I picked the adorable little squiggle (yes, squiggle) up and took it inside fully expecting it to pass away. Luckily I still had my large cage from when I had ratties, so I put it in there with blankets and covered the cage with a duvet to keep it nice and dark, leaving it to peacefully pass on. But, the next day it was still alive and then suddenly in the afternoon it was active as hell, climbing around the cage. I saw blood on its stomach during it so I assume it got injured there somehow and just needed a day to recover. I fed it some apple and took it back outside once I made sure it was really okay. I still throw out some apples for it daily, and I do see it! Though it doesn't come near me, how rude!
Sorry; totally long story but it made me incredibly happy to host it and be able to release it after a day and half.
Animals are amazing for our mental health.
I hope this month treats you, Luna, and your father well! ๐งก
Aw-that's so lovely! Agreed, animals are amazing for mental health and mood in general, Luna is like my emotional support doggo, I'm going to be crushed when she's gone DX
I love helping animals we find too, we live in the country side so we get quite a few of them, had a hedgehog, a mole and a starling last year, it was insane!
It's always a lovely feeling when you help them! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! ๐ฅฐ๐
Thank you so much! I hope this month treats you and your loved ones well too! Always lovely to hear from you! ๐๐๐
Like I have two cats, they're only 3-years-old right now and I'm already thinking about them leaving me. DO NOT WANT!
My dream is to more to the country side! I live in Scotland so I wanna move near the highlands, get away from the city.
It's awesome to hear you're able to help quite a few animals yourself! A hedgehog and a mole, that's SO adorable! Underappreciated animals I think, more so the moles!
Thank you to you as well! You're always lovely to talk to. ๐งก๐งก๐งก
Ah-wow! You live in Scotland, that's so cool! I love Scotland, I've only been there a couple times on holiday, we used to stay in a cabin by the Lock Tay. I haven't been in years though. I couldn't go back to the city after living in the country, I adore it so much! ๐ฅฐ
Moles are the cutest little things! I adore them! We get all kinds of animals in and out of the village and I love seeing them all ๐ฅฐ
Always happy to chat anytime! Including outside of these journals ๐๐๐
