Finished tarot readings + indoor exercises early last night, but the default lately is to spend more time with the husband afterwards because he genuinely enjoys the caretaking role LMAO (seriously, he has me beat now) + also making up for any missed... /1

Good morning. Uh... I think it is obvious from now on whenever I am unable to go completely online lol, sorry. T_T XDD Not so much lovey-dovey fluff as it is, well, simply letting him freely relax and regulate by holding/cuddling close. ♡(っ˶ ˘ ᵕ˘)ˆᵕ ˆ˶ς)♥︎

... eagerly looking forward! :3 Did greet my co-teachers from previous schools (the laoshi(s) often mentioned here back in 2024 hehehe) in advance though, so there is that. In addition, a prosperous Lunar New Year in advance to those in our community... /5

Hmm, online training starts in an hour, so guess I could still write untold stories a bit more? Only remaining thing I could share for now related to work (kinda, since it is personal too) is: DUNDUNDUN, Valentine's Day and Chinese Spring Festival/Lunar...

At the end of it too, everyone was satisfied with their portrait sketches and agreed to send the guest artist sweets/desserts days later as further token of appreciation (hey, was not the only one who suggested it, swear XDD). All's well that ends well. :3

Not really about being "more beautiful" or "favored", when honestly, there is usually more logical factors at play. The guest artist is as professional as they can be too. Lastly, it is the usual trope of self-perception too: for example, I disagree... /20

Because my co-teachers were lightly joking around and poking fun at how it was "unfair" that I was "sketched like that". However, there are actually more realistic and boring reasons as to WHY, which both OP's message and the guest artist's comments... /16

Which brings me to my next point too: while of course grateful that they found the sketch fun to do---which DOES explain why it looks "alive" or "well-done" as per everyone's synonymous feedback---learned that it is not really being biased or anything. /15
