What weird genetic quirk have I been dealt? I switched toothpastes and for the first time in decades my sinuses are clear. This new toothpaste doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate. Only real difference.

Is my predisposition to ADHD simply made worse by a common cosmetic ingredient in toothpaste and managing is just gonna be a return to using old time tooth powder Postnasal drip is a sign of low level inflammation and fairly common with ADD folks.

Now that my sinuses are clear whatever goofy inflammation has been messing with me has seemingly dropped so far I can't coffee in the morning without getting hammered with anxiety. Literally the only two changes. Even black tea is causing problems. I like tea.

Watched Chars counterattack and the final discussion between Char and Amuro and Char being upset because he thought Lalah could have been a mother to him literally made Amuro transcend space and time and turn into pure psychic energy out of anger.

Also the contrast between how Char and Amuro behave and are written. I know char is the product of terrible circumstances. But he rarely accepts what he has done. He's a man child in many ways. From scene 1 we see Amuro talking with Bright Noa as an equal. He's direct.

Paraphrasing. "I was angry you killed Lalah" "It was an accident, everyone has lost people in this war...." "She could have been like a mother to me..." "That's the reason you did all this? Your momma issues?" Turns into pure psychic energy and hauls axis out of orbit.

My choice to begin taking up Kintsugi has been weirdly prescient. Progress on my application of kintsugi materials with titebond III continues. Mixing clay with titebond ( Sabi urushi when done with lacquer ) produces a very hard material once dry.

Watched the Gundam movies and Gihren's talk with his father in Gundam III weirdly echos what we are seeing even now.

My first urushi free kintsugi. All materials are food safe. I just wanted to see if the mica powder would stick. But next piece I will spend more time building up and polishing and I will get some Bengal red to apply to undercoat.

Mixing flour with titebond makes for a lightweight, tacky, but very durable dough for gluing stuff together. After a day it can be polished and smoothed. After two days it's even harder. I can see this useful for mosaic artists.

Just tried Warpaints Fanatic line of paints. Utterly fantastic paints. They can be worked until they fully dry. Very little chalkiness. Solid covering power. Needs minimal thinning. I don't know how they did it but it's also very easy to clean from brushes.

After a year of contract work and 3 months of mad scrambling after being told the contract was ending, I have a new FT job. With a pay bump, title bump, and working on cool tech!
