Hey y'all, just wanted to give a quick update since I kinda disappeared the past several days. xwx;; It's pollen hell where I live rn and since it's new area for me (and my immune system's dramatic*) I've been struggling with a HORRIBLE case of hay fever. Without getting into the gross details, until a few days ago I was struggling to breathe, my throat was on fire, and couldn't do anything that required any amount of focus (i.e. drawing). Thankfully the breathing side of things has settled down, but now my skin is throwing its own fit so I'm still pretty miserable. e~e;;

On the bright side I was finally able to see a doctor and get back on most of my psych meds (2 need prior auth but I'LL TAKE IT) so I've been gradually feeling better despite the allergies! ;u; My brain is pretty upsetti with the sudden change (as expected) so I'm pretty out of it, but that's a small price to pay considering how much better I already feel. cx

On the even brighter side I was finally approved for disability!! ;U; It'll still be a while before the local office processes everything (they said a month but I don't believe that lmao), but the relief and validation I've felt since finding out has been INCREDIBLE. I can finally get the help and accommodations I need, and tell everyone who doubted me/told me to get over it to go fuck themselves (as an added bonus). C':<

Also, as a little treat to myself for getting through the disability mess (and for plenty of other reasons**) I got myself a fancy new screen drawing tablet that should be here tomorrow! I've wanted a screen tablet since I was a wee artist so I'm AMPED to finally have one, and I'm really hoping the inspiration will help cut through the rest of the brain fog/allergy mess. QWQ

So yeah, I may be feeling gross but there's a real light at the end of it and hopefully after just a little more recovery I'll be back and drawing more than ever! qwq Thank you everyone as always for being so patient, and I hope I can make up for all this mess soon~

*For those unaware I have an autoimmune disorder (eczema), it sucks.
**I've been using a 10+YO tablet that barely functions, I've got some nerve issues with my hands and need something more ergonomic, and I feel it will help improve my art, which will help me give back to y'all!.
