What I actually do in a day

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

Gutsy the Wombat by Jimmi BuscombeSome days are fairly productive. Example: Early morning coffee with Jimmi Buscombe (of wombat fame, 80K views! click here if you haven't seen it yet...) who is an exceptional artist, friend and mentor. Fixed something on my website in Salvador's first nap. I can't remember anything else from that day, but I'm sure I did lots. I remember it being fulfilling. I probably bought some paint or something.

Some days are less productive in terms of art. Perhaps I don't do anything, then Drawings of my babydrink wine when Sal's gone to bed. Today was half half. The thing is, it's almost impossible for me to do any of my art practice with my little one around. He's gorgeous and sweet, and well, quite needy. He just loves full on attention, just like, um, me. Can't really blame him. Today though, I decided to attempt to draw him even though he is NEVER still. I love looking at him and I wanted to capture something of the curve of his cute little bottom, his little legs, the way the hat I always make him wear doesn't really fit him anymore and sort of bulges on top of his head.

It felt so good to get my pencil out, while watching him entertain himself in the garden knowing I was close so he could come and check in (climb on me) any time he wanted. He even got familiar with some of my art materials!

At last it felt like I could draw and be a good mum at the same time.

  • CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ASSETS RECOVERY CONSULTANT CONTACT SLAYER COIN RECOVERY
    The morning of February 12, 2025, is indelibly etched in my memory. As I opened my crypto wallet, my heart plummeted my entire:: Dogecoin balance, a staggering $63,500 that I had painstakingly invested over several months, had vanished without a trace. A wave of panic surged through me as I desperately sought to comprehend the magnitude of my loss.For three agonizing weeks, I encountered nothing but dead ends. I filed reports with the exchange, submitted an endless stream of support tickets, and even consulted blockchain analysts all to no avail. Each response, laden with the disheartening phrase “We regret to inform you,” crushed my hope further. Sleepless nights were spent scrolling through crypto forums, where I encountered harrowing tales of irreversible losses that only deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.Then, on March 5th, a glimmer of hope emerged. My colleague Mark, who had endured a nearly identical hack the previous year, urged me to contact SLAYER COIN RECOVERY. “They’re the only ones who can help,” he insisted with conviction. Though I was skeptical after so many disappointments, my desperation compelled me to reach out.What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. The recovery process was remarkably efficient and thorough. Within just 72 hours, their team of forensic experts had traced my stolen DOGE through a labyrinth of dummy wallets meticulously designed to obscure the theft. By day seven, they had successfully cracked the hacker’s liquidation pattern, identifying the exchanges being utilized to cash out the stolen funds. On March 15th a mere ten days after I first contacted them I was left in stunned relief as I watched my entire Dogecoin balance reappear in my wallet. The sheer joy and disbelief I felt were overwhelming. SLAYER COIN RECOVERY not only restored my funds but also revitalized my faith in the crypto community and its potential for recovery.I cannot recommend SLAYER COIN RECOVERY highly enough for anyone facing similar challenges in the crypto space.

  • When people hear about crypto scams, their typical reaction is disbelief, as if it only happens to careless or reckless individuals. Before I share my experience, if you’re in need of a reliable crypto asset and fund recovery service, their contact information is listed below.

    E-Mail: Morphohack@cyberservices .com

    My family fell victim to a crypto investment scam that wiped out nearly everything we had worked so hard to build. We lost $407,000 worth of USDT and Bitcoin earlier this year, funds that represented years of savings, hard work, and dreams for the future.
    It all began with what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity. We were contacted, or more accurately, targeted by individuals claiming to represent a well-established crypto trading platform. They were smooth, articulate, and came armed with all the hallmarks of a trustworthy financial institution. This led us to believe they were legitimate, and we began investing with them. Unfortunately, we soon discovered they were fraudsters. By the time we realized the truth, our investment had vanished. All communication ceased, and there was no way to reach them.
    The story didn’t end there. While the emotional toll was immense, we were desperate for answers and reached out to everyone we knew who might be able to help. A family friend introduced us to a group called Morphohack, a team specializing in digital asset and cryptocurrency recovery. Their contact information is provided above.
    Morphohack was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. After conducting their investigation, they successfully recovered our funds within a few days. Thanks to their meticulous documentation and coordination with the relevant authorities, we were able to reclaim the full $407,000.
    Morphohack accomplished what we thought was impossible, and we are deeply grateful for their outstanding work and support

  • After the heartbreaking loss of my husband two years ago I suddenly found myself trying to navigate life on my own. Managing finances was especially overwhelming, and in an effort to make my savings grow, I decided to explore cryptocurrency. I came across what appeared to be a promising investment opportunity, an online platform that claimed to offer secure, beginner-friendly crypto investments with strong returns. Desperate to find stability and hope for the future, I trusted them and invested nearly $5,000 in Bitcoin. Sadly, I soon discovered I had been scammed. My funds disappeared, and the platform stopped responding entirely. The emotional toll of the loss was crushing. I felt devastated not just by the money I’d lost, but by the deep sense of shame and helplessness. As someone still grieving and trying to rebuild, the experience left me feeling even more vulnerable and defeated. In my search for help, I came across GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. I was skeptical at first, afraid of being taken advantage of again. But I decided to reach out, more out of desperation than expectation. To my surprise, the team responded with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. There were no high-pressure tactics or unrealistic promises. Instead, they took time to listen to my story, explain the process in detail, and answer all my questions with patience. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE worked diligently to trace the transaction and uncover where my lost Bitcoin had gone. They even helped me file a proper report with the relevant authorities. Their transparency and consistent communication gave me a level of comfort I hadn’t felt in a long time. A few weeks later, something I never thought possible happened. They successfully recovered about 50% of my lost funds. It may not have been the full amount, but it meant the world to me. More than just the money, it was a moment of hope, a sign that not all was lost. If you’re in a similar situation, please know you’re not alone. There are still honest, capable people out there who want to help. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE helped me reclaim not only some of my financial stability but also my confidence and peace of mind.

  • THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY SPECIALIST AROUND/BYTEPHANTOM CYBER RECOVERY:
    My name is Gwen, and I never imagined I’d be the victim of a crypto scam. I’ve always been cautious with my digital assets, but in early 2024, I fell into a sophisticated trap that cost me over $190,000 worth of cryptocurrency. It was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I felt helpless, ashamed, and frustrated until I found BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. It all started when I came across what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity on a well-known social media platform. The website looked professional, the team behind it had public LinkedIn profiles, and the returns promised were “modest but steady.” I did my research or so I thought and decided to transfer some of my crypto into their platform. Within weeks, the site vanished. No response to emails, no support, and my wallet was drained. I was in shock. I reported the incident, but law enforcement told me flat out that the chances of recovering crypto were extremely slim. That’s when I turned to the internet, desperately searching for a solution. After going through multiple forums and reviews, one name kept coming up: BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. I had already been burned once. But what stood out to me about BytePhantom was the number of detailed success stories from real people who had been in similar situations. I reached out to them, and from the very first conversation, I felt reassured. Their response was immediate, professional, and empathetic. The BytePhantom team assigned a recovery specialist to my case within 24 hours. They thoroughly analyzed my transaction history, wallet activity, and digital footprint. They explained every step of the process clearly, without making any false promises. What impressed me most was their transparency. I never felt like I was being strung along or given generic answers—they were honest, technical, and absolutely determined. Over the next few weeks, BytePhantom launched a deep investigation into the stolen funds. They utilized blockchain forensics, traced the movement of my crypto across wallets and mixing services, and even tracked down key details of the scammer’s operations. I was amazed at how much information they were able to uncover—things that had gone completely unnoticed by the police. Then, about five weeks into the process, I received the news I had been hoping and praying for: BytePhantom successfully intercepted and recovered a substantial portion of my stolen funds—over 85% of the total amount. When I saw the crypto hit my secure wallet, I honestly couldn’t believe it. It felt like I had been given a second chance. But BytePhantom didn’t stop there. They helped me enhance my wallet security, educated me on common fraud tactics, and provided tools to monitor suspicious activity going forward. Their team genuinely cared—not just about recovering my funds, but about ensuring I never fell into another trap again. Looking back, choosing BytePhantom was the turning point in what could have been a complete disaster. They combined cutting-edge cyber intelligence with unmatched dedication and professionalism. I owe my financial recovery—and peace of mind—to their incredible work. If you’ve lost crypto to a scam or cybercrime, don’t waste time with unverified recovery services. BytePhantom Cyber Recovery is the real deal. They brought my funds back when I thought they were gone forever. And for that, I will always be grateful.
