Nix/86 - Diary Comic - Days 84-86

Day 84 - 0 Steps - 28 December 2025

Making meal and grocery plans for the week after a delicious sponge bath. Some chores, some creativity, more biking. The biking is beginning to get easier.

I'm setting up a system to help self publish the almanacs of wonder and wander. Two projects that need completing in 2026. Hoping I can get epubs up by the end of January.

Been thinking a lot about motivation of my creative output. Want to jump off the capitalist algorithm train. Tip jars for the win? We shall see!

Another sponge bath. Clean body, clear mind, let's go! End of the year shakedown.

Day 85 - 6 Steps - 29 December 2025

Finished 'Old School Indian' - loved it. I went to college 30-ish miles from the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation and never heard anything about it. I later learned of its existence from a roommate who grew up west of the land. Why are these amazing people still so erased from our collective history? It makes me mad and grateful to the writers who share their stories.

Reaching half way point, finishing the last 2 books. End of the year review.

Day 86 - 6 Steps - 30 December 2025

On the 86th day... I did not reach any of my goals for walking. That's disappointing. I did not expect it to go this slowly. I also did not expect to not have any motivation. But i'm feeling better and the motivation is returning. So slow, but little by little. I AM RETURNING! My laughter is back, my mental energy is returning, my creativity is blossoming, my legs are moving, I am assisting myself back into myself. Tomorrow is another day. One day at a time. Next steps...

6 Steps. Practice makes perfect, perfect that does not exist. Practice as journey.
