All the uploads I was intending to prep and post throughout the month kinda just sat and have still been sitting in postybirb waiting to be formatted/tagged properly.

This month has been physically kind of hellish for me, being back on the higher dosage of the medication makes things a bit dizzy and with all the stormy weather/heat waves the past few weeks, I've just been sleeping and sleeping and sleeping and sleeping, and kind of eating very poorly but trying to keep at least one meal a day in me.

Leftover from last month, I still have (2) more donks finished, (3) donkey sketch projects in a sketchy state (still back and forth discussing edits to some of them). As well as (3) actively being shaded, another (1) almost done actively being ink/coloured, and (3) on hold/queued for being inked and/or coloured. (Total of 10 donks in progress)[Only 4/10 are invoiced and paid.]
The [4] other non-donkey projects in the active paid queue have been gradually getting a bit of work done here and there. Most shaded/coloured stuff is between 75-90% done. But I will have to put things on hold to make sure I get some major comic work done on the 4-page/multi-pose sequences. So I may forego doing other stuff mid July while I work on them.

The last few weeks have mostly been spent in a cycle of waking up late, barely getting a meal in, then staying up all night watching movies/friend streams, barely sleeping all morning and then waking up late again. So I'm very behind on Picarto streams and have been trying to motivate myself to get back to it. The constant flow of bad news lately just keeps beating me while I'm down.

As I posted on Bluesky/Discord the other day, I found out my grandparents last surviving cat named Garfield, had to be put down, he was old, blind and in pain so we knew he didn't have much time left, but it did feel sudden to get the news that he had just passed the other day, with no real chance to see him one last time. (He was the friendliest and generally everyone's favourite, and my grandpa was extremely close with him.) I only got to see him generally twice a year since they live 3 hours away. But he made the trips bearable during dysfunctional/melodramatic family holidays. Rest in peace. <3

I'm still not sure what kind of mood/state I'll be in next week for when I do try to bday stream. I'm trying to motivate myself out of a bit of burnout period before it starts to affect me negatively financially.
I would like to plan out a better PNG tuber setup or at least experiment more with different png tuber programs and get ideas of how to go about making a flashier more "Steeve" kind of animated one.
If any of you guys have any examples or tips I'm open to chatting about it at length with somebody sometime who is more familiar with that kind of stuff. I always feel a bit overwhelmed about not having free time to really explore or figure out how to do fun stream layout stuff since I tend to have bad executive function disorder and can't do more than one thing at a time. So I find I'm always juggling either getting just one thing done a day or just losing the day to socializing.

I'm hoping that if I clear up that current queue stuff it'll start to ease the pressure a bit so I can work on my personal stuff a bit more in the future. I made a decent chunk of progress in the last year of clearing up some major ones that were giving me issues, so even if things are slow, I'm making progress. And that's what counts.

Also I need magically freeze time so I can spend like a week dismantling my desk and destroying half the hoarder mess my parents left in the hallway so I can bring in a new longer desk to set up my new PC. (It's been hiding in the box all month so I haven't even gotten to boot it up since it got built. WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT'LL GET DONE. (Please save me.)

See ya next week. I'll try to stream more soon but I'm a dumb doggy so no promises.
