March 2024

 If you have been hanging around for a while I'm glad you are still here, if you are a new reader welcome.

If you have been following along you know that I like a creative challenge! I have begun to play around with Stable Diffusion and other AI art programs. I can't draw a straight line let alone create beautiful art work like a professional but the AI programs allow me to take an image that is in my head and create it for all to see.

Pinterest this will take you to my main Pinterest page for this ID cmarois60. I am debating if I should switch back to the old site as more people go there but it seems like a lot of work to copy everything over to the other ID cherylmarois.

I have been thinking about reorganizing my online life so that it takes less of my time but since nearly everything I do is connected to the computer I don't think I can do much. Today I have a few things I want to get done. Among them are giving you my personal lists and printing out the bits and bobs I need for my Journal.

These are 6 of my 10 or so lists for this month. As you can see I am continuing my study on Flora, this month it is plants that can heal/ hurt/ or both depending on what part you use and how much of it. I am going to work on a proper Fungi Board as I need to know a lot about them for my story. Or rather Woulfs story when ever I actually finish getting the plot figured out.

I have been using ChatGPT to flesh out details and Art AI to bring it alive. It is a slow process because I am doing everything on my own from thought to finished image. I am lucky that I have several people in my life who help me with different lessons but the final images are my own. That said I would like to introduce Woulf to you all and get your opinions of this guy as my main character.

Woulf (draft image)
Woulf is a striking figure in the enchanted forest, embodying a balance of youthful vigor and careful sophistication. With sleek, smooth black fur that glistens under the moonlight, he stands as a symbol of the untamed wilderness. His eyes, a keen amber, reveal a wisdom beyond his years, reflecting a deep connection to the mystical realm. Despite his wild nature, Woulf is meticulous about his appearance, moving with a fluid grace that speaks of both his lupine agility and the deliberate care he takes in presenting himself. As he navigates the enchanted forest, Woulf is not only a symbol of the wild but also a testament to the delicate equilibrium between the human and the primal.

 His world is separate from ours, a self contained forest maintained by a guardian spirit. It is in trouble. Something has made the Guardian sick. This in turn has caused the denizens of the forest to sicken as well. In particular it interferes with reproduction.

Rest Assured I'm still here

 Albeit tired in a way I can not describe well but I will try. November was a quiet month with very little going on and was just what I needed after such a busy summer. I am still feeling off but that may have been because I had what I think was a mini-stroke just at the end of November then December brought GD#3 back full-time. The shakes are steadily getting worse and the headaches are back. It has been awhile since I felt so tense and afraid. It could just be a stress headache but I keep coming back to the massive one I had the night before I got checked out for the stroke. It frightens me but it shouldn't I used to get them a lot last winter, it's because our radiators blow warm, dry air and it dries me out. The thing is even drinking water does not seem to help much. My guess is that I am very dehydrated from the heaters, with the added stress of Christmas and GD#3, all of which add up to "I don't feel so good". Add the mini-stroke stuff and winter arriving a...

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.

Time

 I've missed a couple of days because I am not feeling well at all. I want to blame the rain but that I think is only part of it. I do not like where I am in my head right now so I figure if I write it down maybe it will stop bothering me. E once again denied me permission to move back in with him even though he says that he misses me when he is back there. At this point I have had enough, he says he loves me but that is not shown in his reactions. I am aware that I really don't have the right to live with him and I understand that after I left twice he doesn't trust me but if that is so why does he not just kick me out of his life once and for all. I have tangled him tight in the family drama I live with but he is more than capable of backing off and going his own way. Some days I wish he would, other days I don't know what I would do without his financial protection especially when it come to medications and stuff. I would manage without the phone I think as that is t...
