-HB

FrackaWhacka!

A couple weeks ago we got to take a weekend off at HB's Mum and Dad's house, it was a relaxing work weekend X)
Gramma Di taught us how to make 30 freezer meals and 30 days of work breakfasts for HB for about $100 and one day of prep and cooking. It was pretty epic!
I did the fruit chopping for mini pies and kind of just stayed out of the way, leaving the noise of the processors and all the speedy spicing to the kitchen witches ;)
I just don't move as fast in the kitchen as HB and his Mom, especially not with a big belly full of squirmy baby!

When all the cooking and rushing for the day was done we went to visit our favourite store in Pembroke, Brimstone & Belladonna , the most amazing little esoteric shop ever!
Its very easy to fall in love with B&B AND the two wonderful witches who make it so homey <3
If you're ever in the Pembroke area I definitely reccomend a stop in for any and all ecclectic requirements!

AND THEN.... ... ....
I PLAYED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS for the first time ever XD
And you know what? I had a lot of FUN!
(HB had to help me with picking the right dice and adding them up quickly , but I really had a good time playing my character!)

I played a short ,ugly little half orc named Amy Apocalipstic XD
She's married to a flamboyant, pink leather armoured, Jack Harkness type will do anything with legs, half orc man , Marco Apocalipstic!
(Hes a little nuts, asking his axe ,Hellena Handbasket, for permissions and advice before doing anything EVER)

Amy is more of a hit it with a stick kind of person, FrackaWhacka now ask questions and get healed later type girl *lols*

Here are some sketches from our adventure :D



*the little pencils are mine, blue pen are hb

Making a baby- Autistic and pregnant

This is my first time blogging by phone, so I hope this works while my computer beasts are on the fritz!

This is a mini zine I drew this week while I was hovering around the house while HB was at work, at 8 months pregnant I find myself too exhausted to do big work at the moment but I still wanted to make a comic this month :)

So here we are, lots of cuteness with a side of positve message, hope everyones having a good week!

Words have power.

Warning, there may be triggers for people who have experienced verbal abuse, but I think I was tactful enough that it should be alright :/

Hey there everyone :)
A new comic! I know , I'm excited too! It was kind of a heavy topic, but you knew we would hit some of those eventually.
 Words have power, its so true, a lot of people don't realize the power of  words until they've been on the negative end of a whisper, and still felt their proverbial cheek stinging days later from the whispered slap :/ Its not very nice, but likewise ,kind words can be totally uplifting , and empowering!
*or if you're into spoken slam poetry, some of them out there leave me with brain/body tingles the words have so much to say!*

I have a project for everyone this month, it being the Valentine month, spread the power of good words! Take the time to say something meaningful , nice or empowering to someone, at least once a week or more if you want/can!
It will make that person's day, and their smile will make you smile, keep the good juju in the words, even when you don't think anyone is paying attention, someone always hears you, especially if you have cats,they love being complemented *lols*

Parents especially, keep the good power of words, your children will learn to empower others with their words and feel better about themselves , which is a pretty awesome power in today's world I think . Even if your little one is non verbal, ALWAYS ASSUME COMPETENCE!
They hear you, make sure what you're telling them , even inadvertently, empowers them :)

Happy Yule! - Date night dinner-

Remember , right click and open in a new tab to be able to use the magnifying tool !

This is what we do on date nights! Home made dinner, minecraft dates, 5$ movies from HMV , its all the small things that add up and make us happy :)

This was drawn about a month and a half ago, my tummy sticks out quite a bit more now!

But this comic still has relevance today, it shows a good part of the things I have to be thankful for this Yule <3

We have a happy home, sometimes the dishes aren't done, sometimes the house is messier than we mean it to be, but thats ok, because we're happy, we are happy here together in the warm, in the blanket fort, playing minecraft,
I'm thankful for my happy home!

We have the fuzzbabies, Roxxie and Rohman, they are an endless source of purring, unconditional love *so long as the tub has a puddle of water* they give us comfort and friendship and that unnerving feeling that we're being watched in the night X)

I'm thankful for my Cats!

We have food in our cupboards, heat in our house, and some presents under our *singing* tree.

Some of these things couldn't have been had without a little help this season, so I'm thankful to the people who helped us have these things,
I am thankful for the creature comforts in our home!

I am thankful for our family and friends!
So thankful for all of these amazing people that  I '' can't even! " X)

We have a baby on the way, I'm thankful that he is healthy and growing like a weed, I'm so happy that HB reads him stories and that he moves and punches when he hears his Dad come in the door from work, that we can share in this journey all of us together is hugely important for me.

A Mum a Dad and a Baby, in a loving , happy home, *with cats* its so storybook to me its almost unbelievable.
I'm thankful that the little Poppleton is healthy and so well loved!

Most of all though, I'm thankful for Honeybee <3

He's quirky and throws his sox off as soon as he gets in the door, is just as odd as I am, and loves me for just exactly who I am.

There's always more that I'm thankful for, always always, its just so hard to put it down into print,

 I'll just leave it with this thought,
My heart is full, and we're happy.

Thats the best thing I could hope for this season :)

File finding and Popsicles = True Love!

My brains are so tired, it was a good day!

HB saved the day twice this week, once with popsicles yesterday and once today, the little sketch above saved as a file type that my photoshop wouldn't recognize!
(There were definitely some hormone and frustration induced tears )
Somehow, just somehow he got it to open after I thought it was lost for good !

Honeybee, you are the best ever !
<3

(I know there are things that motherrisk says are 'probably' or 'may be' safe for use with colds while expecting, but really the amount of worrying that I would put my mind through would just not do.
So far, the old natural remedies , and sleep have been working just fine!)
** With a few Orange Popsicles making the best of the worst X) **

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! And I've won a prize! :)

I can't believe it ! I've won something! :D

I entered a contest at http://musingsofanaspie.com/  and I was picked to win one of ten prizes !
How neat is that!?
HOLY EXCITEMENT BATMAN!!

The way it worked was there were ten prizes and ten names drawn for all sorts of cool stim toys and  really good books etc, seen here : http://musingsofanaspie.com/2014/11/10/big-giant-giveaway-books-stim-toys-chewy-jewelry/
Each person chosen , in order could pick whatever they liked of the ten and the remaining people would pick from the remaining prizes down the order so on and so on.
I was picked #9 I think, and so I got to pick between numbers nine and ten , of which, # 1O IS THE BOOK THAT I REALLY ACTUALLY WANTED TO WIN!
How darn cool is that!?
XD
Maybe I've been watching a bit too much Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but , "WOO HOO!"


For those of you that have been reading along with me , you know my battle, getting re-diagnosed so that I have proper documentation of my autism has been a long one and the fight has been hard, degrading at times and I had almost given up more than once. I think this book couldn't be making its way to me at a better or more relevant time in my life, tomorrow , it will be a week to the day that I once again have my formal diagnosis!
That means , I can start feeling like I'm not telling an untruth * I knew I wasn't but oftentimes felt like I was because I could "prove" nothing* It means , I can start to actively live with this wonderful affirmation from a little piece of paper that tells professionals in my life that I'm not borderline, I'm not depressed, I'm not OCD, I'm not 'just fat' *because apparently that makes it all in your head*





I'M AUTISTIC! AND SO SO PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SAY THIS!
I'M SO PROUD I COULD YELL IT! ( but not too loud X) I HAVE A MY SILLY LITTLE BIT OF PAPER TO TELL THE REST OF THE WORLD WHAT I HAVE KNOWN FOR A LIFETIME!

I am so happy , just so happy :)
That's three amazing things this week, I received my formal bit of paper, HB and I got to see our baby boy during our ultrasound AND I've won a book that I'd been coveting for some months!

What an awesome week <3
