Some postulations on my life’s prophecy as seen by others…

Started my art hobby…
I got myself a nib holder for my Speedball nib. Gave one to my niece so I had to get another. Almost daylight robbery: 22RM for a stick of wood with a circular plastic groove to stick your nib. Once upon a time it was half that. But it is exotic and I am improving as an artist, so I guess it’s okay.
I also got a slim notebook with square ruled paper for 11RM, a good price, has a recyclable plastic cover for refills, I imagine. I no longer need to use my thick rough pad except for improving a character that’s hard to capture. Being systematic makes even fails beautiful and includable in my final sketchbook which I can sell.
Here’s some of my doodles I plan to expand on and sell:
I am mainly a sketch artist, a composer of features and posture, a character designer.
Made dinner for the folks which they enjoyed. Mom and Dad are slowly going south in the mind and in their joints so I have to take over certain things. Maybe later, to drive them about as well. Okay, if I have GPS / Google Maps.
Don't feel like editing chapter 7 but the topic is a good one: the differences between men and women. Maybe I just need a 15-minute break after the kitchen work.
Started work late, circa 10pm and am finished by 11pm. Just over an hour’s deep thinking. Planning to do more art training (studies) tomorrow morning. Edit my book in the evening. Also have to go on a run early. I want to draw full characters now, interacting in situations / scenes. Will be using faint penciling first up, prolly in my square rule notebook. Should be a lot of fun.

How things are going...
I'm feeling somewhat better, health-wise, as well as mood-wise. Working on my Christian novella is filling me with positivity. I am not rewriting it (as of yet: halfway point) but am aggressively footnoting. This preserves much of the story flow which is important to readability. At this rate, I will be done by Sunday.
Tomorrow, Friday, plan to stay home and do more editing work. Think I will sleep late tonight, take my meds at 11pm. Then on Saturday, will go for a run. Sunday, a long walk.
This afternoon, I bought a fresh bottle of olive oil, a chili dip, and sambal cooking paste to spice up our dinners with some variety. Olive oil is so expensive these days, we now buy it by small amounts and use it sparingly. There is nothing like it, tho -a must have.
Have a feeling that the mindspaces will calm down somewhat over the course of October. There is a nascent ceasefire in Gaza now. The headlines were writ big on CNN.com. What could this month decide? The fate of humanity even.
Will work out soon. Maybe write a Medium article before bed.
...
My Orient is gaining 7s / day on average. This makes 49s / week. Setting it every weekend is not a hassle, knowing it's less than a minute fast at any one time. I bought it for circa 370RM IIRC. That was 150RM more expensive than my Seiko 5, in 2001. That's inflation of 40% over 24 years, or 1.7% per year, which is normal(?) Right now, I'm priced out of most watches except Casio general models.

Ordered Dad a new mouse for big hands…

Looking forward to Monday walk...
It's been a while since I went on a long punishing walk in the sun. Perhaps tomorrow will be a good time for it. Will try to get my novella printed out saddle bound. It's 21 sheets of paper thick which may be a little tight. 16 would be preferable. I hope they can do it tho.
Thinking I may wear shoes on this walk instead of my usual Teva sandals. But I feel my feet are swelled a bit for some reason and may not fit my trail shoes.
Want to do about an hour of brisk walking as it helps my body heal from the negative telepathy I'm forced to bear. Quite peaceful otherwise since we pushed off the Liew witchy 6. We shrank their bodies and loosened all their clothes.
...
Editing work continues on book no. 3, my old Christian Novella from last year. It badly needs updating with the latest signs I've been shown, and the new questions people have asked me. I feel they should go in... somehow mesh with the plot. After this edit, I will not be doing any more.
I actually ran today, pretty fast so I've got more energy / stamina. Helped mop and sweep the shoebox we live in. Made myself a quick dinner. Thinking I may stay up late to work, take my meds at 12am and sleep in. Tomorrow, I'll go on a walk, perhaps to Decathlon / DigiMall. Then the next day will be psych clinic for my monthly Arip jab.
...
Feeling a little fuzzy up there from last night's late turning in. Will shower and get changed. See if I can tumble myself down to the station.
Was out for 1 1/2 hours, walking in the sun. Feeling good. On the way, we talked in mindspace about the embattlement of the churches (Protestant) and how people have resorted to human nature, having failed in the spirit contest with the Evil intruders. Yea, there is still an ongoing battle that many are resorting to violence to shove off their backs.
Judge not. However, to continue to spirit fight would be the better way. Think of Jesus let him be your strength. Think of Gabriel: God is my strength. Think of your friends who are stronger and shelter there. Do not tear down your church by any means.
