I haven't made an update here in a lot time and I feel like it's way over due especially since a lot has happened in the last month.

Biggest change is I've officially moved. Though my arrangements right now are temporary. I had a huge falling out with my ex. I don't have the energy to go over everything that happened with that because it was really bad but I did post as things were unfolding on my Bluesky if you want to get a better understanding of what happened. The key points were that my landlords allowed me to break the lease without going through the N9 process so I was able to leave immediately. I had to move all of my things over the course of a weekend as well as I had to put my 15 year old husky, Soul, down (this was part of the catalyst that caused me to completely sever from my ex). I'm currently abiut 500km away from where I used to live which is extremely hard but it was my only option. My belongings are spread between here and a friend's place back in my city. This whole fiasco took a lot out of me. I was extremely sick during the move as I'd caught a strep-like (as the doctor put it) virus which leads to pneumonia.

In regards to being sick, I am still sick. I had pneumonia for a month and I'm still fighting off whatever this is even now that the pneumonia has mostly cleared up. Its the second time I've gotten pneumonia this year and it did a number on me. I fractured a rib due to the severity of the coughing and I ended up getting a secondary infection from the virus which in also still fighting. So my health has been worse than it usually is which my baseline is already pretty bad. Currently I'm just doing my best to recover and get back to work fully.

These past two years have been extremely hard in terms of health. As anyone whose followed me for a significant amount of time would know, I've always struggled with my health but things took a particularly bad nosedive. So it's just been difficult navigating that with everything else that's happened.

The move, while emotionally devastating is something that needed to happen. My situation with my ex has been bad for a few years and it's only become more and more toxic which is one of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with. It's not the first time I've been up ended but I never imagined I'd be in this sort of situation again where I'm kind of floating in a limbo state figuring out what to do. That in itself is stressful and disheartening but I'm working towards buying my own property so that this doesn't happen again. But that won't be for some time.

Going forward commissions may be a little limited while I recover and possibly more focused on YCHs. I want to return to working on To Dust, as I start restructuring things and working towards myself and prioritizing my wants and not being as financially burdened.
But for now this is sort of a where I am at the moment post.

Thanks for all your support. I am really sorry things have been so all over the place the last couple years but hopefully this is a step towards going back to more content.

Cheers,
