weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Welcome to a weekend check-in. I have some tedious paperwork to complete, and I said jokingly to my sibling on the phone "I will probably end up tidying half the house rather than do this paperwork". Only it turns out I need a specific document, and I have lost it ~somewhere~ in this house, and that's not actually a joke any more.

I'll ramble a little in the comments like I usually do, but please check in with your challenges and successes and surprises, and let's cheer each other on a bit.

Really need to build a bookshelf, but god, I really hate building anything. Gonna try to motivate myself on the coolest day this weekend (it's not hot, but I'm one of those people that sweats basically immediately upon moving at even "normal" temperatures).

Also really want to get back into re-bagging my animation cels, so going to attempt to do a few and also scan a few. We'll see where we get!

Cheering you on from here!

Yeah, I hate building anything, too, and am not in the sweats immediately upon moving camp but verrrry close to it. Much sympathy on that front! Did you get a cool enough time during this weekend to try starting on the bookshelf?

Had to google what re-bagging animation cels even is but wow, so awesome that you make animation art! How did it go this weekend?

I sadly haven't gotten anything done this weekend and I feel bad about it. But I also acknowledge that it's been a stressful few weeks (manager and one of my closest co-workers are both having their last day this week). Going to give it a go again next weekend.

The animation cels aren't actually ones I've done -- but rather, some that I own from a bunch of anime series from the 90s. Here is my really outdated gallery. I have to sporadically change out the bags and slip in some fresh microchmaber paper as part of caring for them. I recently bought another folio for keeping them organized, but haven't done anything with it. What I might wind up doing is just doing 2-3/cels a day and scanning them at the same time. Might be the only way I get it done at this rate!

Wow, what sounds like such a stressful period at your job. Lots of changes. It makes a lot of sense that you didn't have much energy for projects this past weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to find time for a little cel bagging and scanning next weekend. :-)

Wow, that is also very cool that you own anime cels from the 90ies. Now I understand even more the need to re-bag those. Thanks for linking to your gallery, such pretty images! I think I've heard of Utena as some kind of classic, very impressive that you got some from that anime.

2-3/cels per day to re-bag and scan them in sounds like a good, sustainable plan. Maybe even only re-bag if time or energy are short. I would love to hear some updates from you on how that project is going in the future. :-)

[trudy]

Definitely will! Might even share some scans, too. :)

Oh yay! Scans would be awesome! :D But only if the process of putting scans up on DW doesn't hinder your progress on the overall rebagging project ;-)
