The shape isn't absolutely perfect, but it's as close as I can get. I'm thankful for a little rest time today to spend on starting the polishing.

An almost perfectly spherical ball of tightly compacted mud that has been smoothed and is starting to be polished. The ball is a tiny bit smaller than a billiard ball.

Finished knitting the bag for my new cards!

Here are the three I've made before. None as as smooth and shiny as I'm working toward, but each has been a worthy experience.

A small wicker basket with three dry mudballs in it. One of the balls is about the size of a golfball, and the other two are slightly smaller than a tennis ball. Each is very round, mostly smooth, and the smallest ball is a little shiny.

A texture issue with my dorodango became a shape issue, and I've been slowly working to rebuild a big area. Breaking it down and starting over would be faster and easier, but "faat and easy" isn't the reason I do it.

Very round, but not smooth, tightly compacted mudball.

I wore a rainbow every day this month! Even the day that I had the horrible headache. That's why I was also wearing sunglasses indoors. I thought about why I was wearing a rainbow each day as I did my headwrap.

I made a friend today.

A crocheted manta ray. Very small. Only about two inches at the widest point. Made from a blue variegated yarn.

The underside of the crocheted manta ray is a solid light blue, with a little smiling mouth stitched on with a thin black yarn.

It doesn't look much different today, but this is a slow process. It is a little rounder and smoother. I've tried various glass and metal objects for working the surface, but the thing that works best for me at this stage is the opening of a plastic pill bottle.

An almost perfectly spherical mudball with a dull, kind of grainy surface.

It's been a while since I last made a dorodango, and that's something that helps give me thinking space when I'm working things out for a story. I use a slower method for making them. There will be mudball updates.

A very round and tightly compacted ball of mud, around three our four inches in diameter. It's resting on top of a glass bottle in natural light coming through a window.

I don't know what's going wrong with my lotus plant. I wondered if I moved it into the pot too early, and that got me thinking about how I don't usually start plants in just water because roots grow so delicately that way and can have trouble adjusting to soil. So I'm dropping a new seed in.

A dwarf lotus plant in a pot that has grown four stems, lost two leaves, has two dying leaves, and isn't showing new growth. There's also a lotus seed dropped into the water.

I've been letting the bonsai lantana grow a little bigger this year. I may need to move it to a larger pot next year.

Lantana plant in a six inch pot. The plant is only about six to eight inches tall, but has a broad spread of brightly green leaves.

I'd like to add...

Got my Loop Switch 2 earplugs! These work better for me than the original Loops I've had for a few years. It's possible than having more control over how much sound is filtered out could reduce how frequently my PNES seizures happen. They at least help my body relax.

A white person's ear. Three small hoop earrings. Arm of eyeglasses. Hair covered by a rainbow scarf. There is an earplug in the ear that shows a black circle sitting neatled in the opening of the ear.

New baby fig leaf!

A tiny fig leaf, less than an inch long, standing straight up while surrounded by much larger leaves.

My thoughts on the "autistic people will never write a poem" bs.

I don't write poems.

I just
repeat what the
water tells me. I keep
secrets the rocks whisper. Laugh at
bird jokes.

Listen
when the night air
carries a song from the
stars. Thank the grasshoppers for their
greetings.
Let my hands read the stories the
soil has held for so long.
Try to pass them
to you.

But no,
definitely
no poems have ever
been written by me. Why would you
think that?

I'm terrible at estimating things. It's part of my dyscalculia. I measure things when it's important, I swear! I've been telling everyone the wrong height for the baby fig tree. The spread of leaves is getting wide, but the height is more like one foot than "somewhere between two and three feet".

Baby fig tree about a foot tall with a wide spread of big green leaves, growing in a large red pot.

I had to have a talk with myself today, and poems are often the best way for me to do that.

I'm Not Writing

There are
plants that need to
be tended. Did you see
just how much the baby fig tree
has grown?

Birds come
for gossip and
seeds in the afternoon.
And who else would greet our friend the
turtle?
There are so many beautiful
parts of this life, and I
do not want to
miss them.

So no,
I have not been
writing. I must forgive
myself for that. The plants do not
blame me.

Bill has new growth coming up in the center! Hope is not lost!

A nearly dead small spider plant in a green plastic cup that was made to protect the plant while allowing the roots to go into the 2 gallon water tank the cup is attached to. New growth is coming up in the center of the plant.

Baby fig tree is getting bigger and spreading leaves everywhere!

A top-down view of a baby fig tree that is maybe two feet tall. The tree is growing in a large red pot, and the whole thing is a big bouquet of fig leaves.

I briefly had a visitor. Visitor moved at a quick speed when they decided to leave. I'm not good at identifying turtles, but alligator snapping turtles are plentiful in our area. I'm wondering if this is a young one.

My book is 1 year old! I wrote it with people who have no experience with ttrpg dice or divination in mind, so you don't need to already know what a d10 and d20 are or understand other divination systems. Here's what is covered...

Baby fig tree doesn't have new leaves again yet, but the leaves that are there are getting bigger and greener!

The lotus plant has three leaves now!

I promise I actually feel anywhere from happy to pleasantly neutral for these pictures. I should show them the next time someone asks, "But how do you know you're autistic?"

I've kept doing the rainbow wraps, but not going as far as I did the first day. It's my usual rainbow level. I intend to do rainbow every day this month.

Still working on writing my poetry into my Onion Skin Journal. The last five lines aren't in the picture, but the whole powm is in the alt text.

Written in cursive using blue ink on a blank white page in a book.

Conversation

Chit-chat.
You keep it safe.
Only small, obvious
things. "Did you hear...?" No, but you'll
tell me.

Tell me
something that won't
waste both of our time and
energy. Share your favorite
secrets.

Secrets
are personal
treasures. Not the rumors
you whisper to any who will
listen.

Listen
to your own heart,
and tell me what it says
when you don't choose to be safe and
boring.

Boring
isn't my style.
Let yourself take the risk.
I'll show you my heart if you show
me yours.

I know I very well might have to replace Bill the next time Mother Spider puts out babies. But it's not impossible for him to recover yet! I'm doing everything I can, no matter how much work it is for one little spider plant. If he doesn't recover, everything goes into the compost.

A sad little spider plant laying on the leg of a white person who is wearing denim shorts. The plant only has a few leaves, and the roots are kind of a mess.

Look how beautiful my baby fig tree is!
