Keeping Tabs | April 2019
This is a list, literally. A life check-in, maybe. I’m not really sure how it’ll go but I’d like to keep tab.
I remember when I used to write The Sunday Currentlys and I can’t believe I was able to keep that up for some time. Weekly posting? Who is she?! But I miss talking about the things people don’t care about. And that let’s-recap-life-and-self-diagnose feeling. I just really enjoy listing down the little things. Let’s try that again, shall we?
THING TABS

LISTEN to these 4 random songs from my productivity playlist. And hello to the things I draw to stop me from drawing the things I really need to draw.
WATCH
Avengers Endgame. Did not regret re-watching all MCU movies during the Holy Week break. I was unproductive, yes, but whatever (it takes)
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I watched this earlier this year and got obsessed and rewatched it immediately. I might still have a huge crush on Santino Fontana even if he left the show early on
LIFE TABS
True story: I had to check my IG Stories archive to check what I’ve done the past days because my brain is dead at this point in time.
Make Space Today mock workshops which will start by asking you what you expect in the class and you’ll go home with expectations exceeding 100x. Every. Single. Time. I’m really excited for the opening!

I picked up my sketchbook again because I simply hate everything I draw digitally and luckily, that got the bad juju out of me, yay
Am finally designing new merch and I’m writing this a break from that
And I miss our dogs, I want to go home and walk dogs

Louise
