Hello everyone,

thank you for all the comments in the last journal. I haven't been very communicative, but I read them all.
My artblock is on the way out now towards Christmas, however there were also other things weighing down. Usually I keep things clean and separate, but since I know my personal situation is not unique by any stretch, I would like to fill everyone in this time.

My father is sick with probably parkinson, my grandmother is 90 years old and is not all there anymore as you would expect and I support my mom when I can so she isn't almost entire alone with this. In our surrounding a whole row of people ranging from 1 to 75 years old have either died or became extremely sick over the course of the past 6 weeks (MS, organ failure, bronchitis, medical misconduct, the list goes on, seriously bad stuff).

Many say 2022 has been a very bad year already and it seems like it wants to top things off with a bunch of huge stinkers before it's over.

So yeah, I know I am by far not the only one in cirumstances like this and I suppose it's good advice trying to stay strong and make it through.

Maybe I can make one more picture this year, which would be work 105, making 2022 my most productive year ever so far. I only wish it wasn't so tainted by all the misery going on around us.


Be safe everyone, I wish you all a Merry Christmas soon, enjoy your holidays as best as possible!
