On an artistic mission today

Evening

I slept pretty well apart from being cold
keep being cold but then i think its because ive been sleeping
on top of my bed with a blanket instead of sleeping in it under the duvet
i had gotten so used to sleeping this way when sleep was bad only last
monday, but i think i am able to sleep IN my bed not ON it.
I am planning to put this to the test tonight actually
how long has it been since I slept IN MY bed
wow cant actually remember
when i was waking up constantly due to pain and not going into a deep enough
sleep i was padding out my bed as much as i physically could in the hope
it would help me sleep but hopefully none of that is necessary anymore

Anyway today
I was still dizzy but not as bad as I have been
i think taking 2 tablets at night is enough for me
in the morning I stayed home as dad was expecting an engine in the post
yup muggins here had the job of waiting in for it but luckily it came at 11am
but by this time i was on the kitchen floor cutting out my jacket XD 
i dont like sitting doing nothing
previous to this i was on the internet casually looking at idols as I do
and I came across something interesting
basically Ogata Haruna from Morning Musume'18 is graduating this June
now she is by far not one of my favourite idols but that isnt the case for someone
in Japan who is selflessly giving out badges outside the venue on the day of Haruna's graduation concert. These badges are for free
what interested me is that he/she is asking for artist to post their fan art of Haruna so she/he can make these badges. They are asking for 3-5 artist and are welcoming foreign fans. 
This got me thinking
So i checked on what other people had already submitted and if im honest i didnt like any of them they all sucked. so not much competition there! 
I would like to make my own badge design and send it in. The person said they are taking donations for the badges and will pay the artist. I dont want any money
I would be thrilled to have my art go abroad that is enough payment for me
so I got started on my own Ogata Haruna badge~

I would be further but I got distracted through out the day XD

upon looking at all this I thought Id google 'Ogata Haruna fan art' just to see casually how others had drawn her. safe to say there was next to none images. Like no one has drawn her? i find it hard to believe so perhaps the images are hiding from me. But one image did pop up.
An image of Tanaka Reina (an Idol i LOVE) fan art on a t-shirt
so naturally i followed the link and it took me to a website my brother has used a few times to buy t-shirts from - Red Bubble
I had a look at how others post their art on there and sell their art basically
and how easy it looked. I thought it was a good idea and im thinking of having a go
i mean how hard can it be right? 
so thats after I have finished the badge
todays artistic mission. 

Adam rang me after he'd finished work at 3pm 
I told him id cut my jacket out and all the business about art
he was impressed and said "you have been busy researching havent you"
i said "i know it makes me sound like im important but it all was total fluke" XD
he asked me if I had remembered to look at JET2holidays
I told him yes, he sounded shocked that id remembered
so i thought id bring the level back down 
"yeah i looked for about 15mins i was researching where places are on the globe, I didnt know where Malta was AND i found out where Portugal is"
he said "portugal is next to spain...you didnt know this?"
i said "no i had no idea"
he said "i thought you did geography in high school?"
i said "yes but we learned about mumbai and the rainforest not about the world or countries it was ever so helpful" 

I continued with my jacket I got a quite a bit sewn on to it today
then did drawing, danced for half hour
I havent left the house today anyway
im thinking and hoping that i will be fit to drive tomorrow
think im seeing adam anyway tomorrow
but im happy with my own company damn it but its wrong to push people away

my distraction today was watching music videos and live videos as usual
