Hi!

Last week I had a horrible day. My sourdough yeast culture of two years was contaminated by a fruit gnat with fruit mold and I had to throw it out (Requiescat in pace, 'The Yeastie Boys', 2020-2022). Then that same day wind blew over my tomato plant. And I had to go refill my meds and the drive through was closed so I had to go wait inside with all the coughing people, so I wore a mask but got hella side-eye. But that was last week and I'm slowly recovering morale as I've been cultivating a new sourdough culture and it's coming along well. My tomato plant survived and I've been watching the bees buzz around the salsa I'm trying to grow on the balcony.

Then this week, I got beaten with some hella eyestrain, so I've had to take a break from the computer, which really hampered the art I promised myself I'd get done, but, hey, can't draw if you can't see. My poor little coyote eyes were not evolved for staring at screens like this multiple hours per day. This also means, of course, that I'm reconsidering the ergonomics of my desk, and the biggest one is that I just wish I could get my monitor further back somehow. (It is as far back as it'll go without being on a flat mount screwed into the wall, which I don't really know I want to do)

Anyway, you care about art things, right? I'm busy buzzing around at these commissions I still owe. I'm hoping to finish up by fall (I'm getting really close!) and then to open a fall queue, which might be around five or so slots, and I might try switching to a more general seasonal completion estimate instead of the 2-4 weeks I usually mention that I am notoriously comedically prevented from keeping. (Let's talk about the list of things that've happened to me since I started this queue at the beginning of summer; I had migraine flair-ups, I had a depressive flair-up, I got Covid, I got eye strain...)

QUEUE as of 11/15!
