Ironically the last time I posted a life update I said things had finally gotten better, but as usual the moment I say that things take a dramatic turn to worse. This time was no different and it sure fucking happened again - which is why I've been so inactive. Not with a literal strike of lightning this time but my entire summer has been a battle of health, failures and trying to meet every deadline despite it. In short my cat got ill, my PC died, I've become the designated only driver and several other things.

Light is at the end of the tunnel!

I haven't scheduled more obligations so once September is over I'll have it a bit easier *knocks on wood*. PC got fixed and I also bought a new one from a friend, to arrive in a few days. My cat is also in a stable condition though waiting for the big treatment, but making enough to cover it doesn't seem impossible anymore. It's still going to be a rough month or two and some days it feels like my energy is gone, but so far I've been able to keep the flame going.

Hard times are no stranger and there's also been good things, to me it's important to focus on the good stuff no matter how small it is in comparison. Friendships strengthen when you go through hardships and help each other. Also I've developed a new singing voice which gives me so much joy when I'm by myself. And by the end of this year I would've made my first proper oil paintings, which has been a long dream! Also my new PC is actually going to be really powerful. And and got some new music to listen to (important).

The t-shirt's arrived and they're ready to be shipped once I go to the post office. The fox looks SO GOOD (and so do the others). Exciting! I'll also be selling at Tracon this Saturday - see you there?
