The short answer is: terribly, but with impressive speed and stamina. Look, people who write self-help books love to talk about uncertainty like it’s a gentle crossroad in a forest. They say things like, “Lean into the unknown,” or “Embrace the discomfort.” I’m pretty sure the people \[…\] ## [Horizontal Planner Techo Kaigi](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/08/17/2027-techo-kaigi.html) _2026-08-17 · Lost Letters_ For three years now, I've dutifully filled out my gorgeous Hobonichi Weeks planner every single day. As someone who hates blank pages, I really believed I had achieved the elusive planner peace that many dream about. However, planner peace is boring, and I think I'm ready to switch things up a bit. ## [Adulthood, Aisle 4](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/08/16/adulthood-aisle-4/) _2026-08-17 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ So there I was, standing in the paper goods aisle of the Piggly Wiggly at 8:45 on a Tuesday evening, having a full-blown crisis over two ply versus three ply. Now, when you’re seven, you think adulthood is going to be magnificent. You imagine staying up until midnight, eating chocolate cake for breakfast, and buying \[…\] ## [Garden Art: Girl in the Woods, Recreated with Vegetables](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/08/14/garden-art-girl-in-the-woods-recreated-with-vegetables/) _2026-08-14 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ Garden Art: Girl in the Woods, by Vincent van Gogh, Recreated with Vegetables ## [A Comic about Already Having Plans](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/08/13/a-comic-about-already-having-plans/) _2026-08-13 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ A comic about already having plans. ## [Garden Art: Portrait of Irène Cahen d’Anvers, Recreated with Vegetables](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/08/11/garden-art-portrait-of-irene-cahen-danvers-recreated-with-vegetables/) _2026-08-11 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ Garden Art: Portrait of Irène Cahen d'Anvers, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir., Recreated with Vegetables ## [Small Web Virtual Potluck: Vegan Pineapple Tofu Satay](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/08/10/vegan-satay.html) _2026-08-10 · Lost Letters_ For the Small Web Virtual Potluck, I wanted to stick to the optional theme this year: Yellow! After brainstorming all the yellow foods I enjoy eating, I figured that the easiest thing that wouldn't require me to bake would be incorporating pineapple and turmeric into something. This led me towards a sweet and savory satay idea. ## [10 Random Facts About Me](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/08/10/10-facts.html) _2026-08-10 · Lost Letters_ 10 random facts about me for anyone who reads my blog in response to week 2 of Blaugust prompts aimed at getting to know blog authors better ## [A Comic about Cell Phone Life](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/08/10/a-comic-about-cell-phone-life/) _2026-08-10 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ A comic about cell phone life ## [Choosing a Hobonichi Weeks Edition for 2027](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/08/08/hobonichi-2027.html) _2026-08-08 · Lost Letters_ As a huge fan of the Hobonichi Weeks form factor, 2027 presents a particularly difficult decision when it comes to which Weeks edition I'll be purchasing to support my daily memory keeping and life logging throughout next year. The Moomin Weeks is so cute, but I may hold out for the Yumi Kitagishi collaboration Weeks. ## [Build with the cheapest GPUs (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/RO8RgiJaSHmm) _2026-08-08 · **Sponsored**_ Deployed a live API in minutes; one user spent under $10. ## [First Garden Art of the Season!

There’s invisible pressure in that question. You’re supposed to say something profound. Something in Latin, or from a guy with a beard in the 1800s that proves you’ve spent serious time reflecting on the human condition. You’re supposed to sound like a person \[ \] ## [Participating in Blaugust 2026](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/08/03/blaugust.html) _2026-08-03 · Lost Letters_ What I hope to get out of participating in Blaugust 2026 and what I plan to share ## [A Fourth Comic about Adulting](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/07/30/a-fourth-comic-about-adulting/) _2026-07-30 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ A fourth comic about adulting ## [A Comic about Two Wolves](https://rainbowofcrazy.wordpress.com/2026/07/27/a-comic-about-two-wolves/) _2026-07-27 · Jo @ Rainbow of Crazy · Rainbow of Crazy_ A comic about two wolves. ## [Learning to Self-Parent Compassionately](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/07/27/self-parenting.html) _2026-07-27 · Lost Letters_ Lately, I’ve been feeling particularly inadequate when it comes to taking care of myself because I’ve been slacking on a couple salubrious behaviors: eating more fiber and exercising more regularly. Inspired by this Muchelleb YouTube video, I want to take a page from parenting resources to figure out how to better care for myself. ## [Retro Grid Dungeon Crawler (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/lDzlm0wB3pKz) _2026-07-27 · **Sponsored**_ Retro grid movement with first-person combat, loot and skill-tree progression. ## [Funny Thing About Dreams](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/26/funny-thing-about-dreams/) _2026-07-27 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ My biggest dream? Easy. It was about Godzilla. Not like a movie premiere or anything. There was just an actual, 400-foot Godzilla hanging out in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Right by the dumpster. The weird thing wasn t even the giant monster. It was that nobody cared.

Twenty years. That’s a long time. I think it’s pretty optimistic of us to assume we’re still going to have electricity in twenty years. At the rate we’re going, I don’t think we’ll even have any technology to \[ \] ## [More Chaos?

The only thing that kept me sane (okay, maybe not sane, but at least entertained) was being indoctrinated into the cult of Love Island by way of USA season 8. ## [Independence Day (Terms and Conditions Apply)](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/04/independence-day-terms-and-conditions-apply/) _2026-07-04 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ So, after my guinea pig rant, I thought I might write something a little more simple and upbeat. You know, to give you lovely readers a break. It’s the 4th of July here in the U.S. And honestly, if you can just ignore the 104-degree heat that feels like living inside a toaster oven, the \[ \] ## [Dog Day Afternoon](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/04/guinea-pigs-pet-stores/) _2026-07-04 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ The writing prompt today is What s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective? and honestly, right off the bat, I feel attacked. My perspective is fine, thank you very much. It’s built on a rock solid foundation of panic and low-grade dread, and it hasn t failed me yet. If you re always expecting the \[ \] ## [Sleepless on the Orient Express](https://musingsfromatangledmind.com/2026/07/03/sleepless-on-the-orient-express/) _2026-07-03 · Musings from a Tangled Mind · Musings from a Tangled Mind_ Today s question is, What do you do to improve your sleep? and frankly, I find the question offensive. But if you must know, my current sleep strategy consists of being a night owl until about 3:00 AM, getting a light dusting of unconsciousness, and then waking up for work feeling like I was hit by \[ \] ## [Close the Tab!

Well. You’ve certainly come to the right person. If I know anything, I know negative thoughts. I collect them like I collect browser tabs.

Because my gut isn t some wise, mystical oracle. My gut is just a tight little ball of localized panic. The administrative nightmare of existing inside my own body \[ \] ## [Hobbies and Gen Con](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/05/18/hobbies-gen-con.html) _2026-05-18 · Lost Letters_ With it being hotter than 27C/80F all weekend, it really felt like winter is finally behind us. On Saturday, we gathered enough friends for a whole softball game, and I spent the rest of the weekend hobbling around due to plantar fasciitis. Despite the heat and my aches and pains, I still had an awesome time learning lightsaber stage combat on Sunday. I mastered some fancy saber flourishes and… ## [Mid-March Update](https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/03/16/march-update.html) _2026-03-16 · Lost Letters_ For this mid-March update, I wanted to share my enjoyment of gardening, video games, learning to code, peloton rides, and my current favorite Hobonichi Weeks layout.
