🎃Day 11: Pumpkin
Pumpkins are some of the first Mishes (and stickers), and I’ve made a variation of one every year since 2016. I still have the original one, Otho.

Mishes have evolved so much over the years!

September Guild stickers are being dropped off on my way to my therapy *ahem tattoo* appointment.

Two things:
1. I’m not nearly awake enough to be taking selfies.
2. Members make sure to check your subscription status (unpause) and update your card info. Getting a lot of bounce back payments.

CONSTANTLY lately. My ideas and to do for fun lists are just terrifying and overwhelming at this point. I don’t have any tips or advice, just solidarity in this crummy feeling.

I never noticed Koichi’s little camera before!

But I agree, venturing out to take photos of my creatures is the only reason I’ll tolerate the bugs & heat of summer.
