My lovelies, the comic will be late.
I need to chase down #paperwork to keep my #life humming along, and they manifested with a super tight #deadline. cuz they do that sometimes.
The image here is the raw ink of a watercolour
It's a copy of the image on the back of my flag that I hang on my walker when I go to DCC, or NDK.
On the flag it reads "LOOK AT MY BUTT!" "And come see the comics on the other side!"
Folks have asked for a print (I'm gonna try)
I am hopeful that today's comic will post around 8-10pm MST.
(well, i'm also hopeful that I'll get it all done earlier than that too. I am an optimist at heart)
The errands took a while longer than I hoped, and all of this in high heat.
As a result... I'm seriously tired and in pain.
(still working on managing it)
Reality of a disabled bus rider.
I will try to get that comic page out by 10pm MST, but it could be tomorrow.

Right now, notice where your head is in space. Is it out forward over your chest, or is it more directly up and over your shoulders?
If not,then,as if someone pulled a thread from the top of your skullcap straight up...pullyour head up-
-and put your head back direct over your shoulders.
Doing this a little each day will loosen your back muscles & arm muscles a bit. (might even help with pain)
I bet you're nearsighted & put your head down to the screen when you read, just like me.
Now, about those arms-
- This is a noticing piece.
I hold my pencil and mouse tight. Death grip. Been working on loosening for years.
I rest by not using either.
Turns out, touch screening a phone, uses the same death poke, and the arm up in the same tightly bent position.
And for my #visuallyimpaired folks, I will #type out the #text of that #image, down here. Cuz the data is #important. (one of these days I'll get all my comics done with text properly on the site)
Starts here: Hello, It's Trish Malone, creator of #NKVSSP and slightly hurty -
- artist monkey.
And it's just struck me now, so bear with me.
My forearm, right at the elbow, is needles and fire. It happens. And Overuse is the #1 suspect. Turns out today though, overuse is actually #2.
My #health is up & down, and I'm used to it.
I get around, or I lay down (laying down while typing right now)
&now that my forearm is burnin, I'll be doing this a little less as previously stated.
fine enough, but lets talk bout-
-internalized disabili-phobia. (gimmee a break,& gimmee the word if it exists)
it kinda works like internalized homophobia really. I pulled inside all of the shit I've heard for years. all of the hate, all of the "there's no place for you, so go and die already". all inside-
Here we have the beginning of the #show!
Kinda hot, but the first cloud loomed (pretty!)
We set up behind the #drums in the back 😊
For those who've never been to #DenverBotanicalGardens , imagine the #stage at the center bottom of an inverse pyramid.
Melissa Etheridge coming down the side ramp toward the stage!
This photo is bleached out cuz of the intense sun beating down on us (before the rest of the clouds would sweep across the sky)
Unsure which songs these are from.
The #lineup#featured#songs from #YourLittleSecret and back.
A fun #memory lane trip for my veteran show going friends, and a good #show for my newbie friends to walk into 😊
Seriously, if you're #reading down the #list going, "That's me, that's me, that's me, and oooooo is that EVER me!"
I'd definitely #recommend getting some #help with the matter.
It's taken years to be #comfortable in my own skin.
Years of breaking the old records in my head

It's a freakin #relief, to cry a tiny bit in a #movie theatre at a moving point in the film, without having to expend all the extra #energy in "did someone see me?" #exhausting!
