taking a month off after commissions are done
a month ago
I had been hoping that it wasn't that bad, but
just last night, after barely doing any drawing, I went to sleep and woke up with really bad aches in my wrist, arm, and multiple different areas
that might sound like a weird description, but to be clearer, even while drawing, I was having a lot of moments of numbness in my fingers where I had to stop. then there was clear pain in my wrist when I woke up, I tried to get up which put stress on the rest of my body and made me realize the pain in my shoulder and also my other wrist, and then more in my back and chest
I can't say whether or not it's only because of all the art I've been pushing myself through but the wrist action is almost certainly from the overwork for sure
so I'm calling it: once I'm done with this current queue, I'm gonna call art hiatus for at least two weeks, maybe even a full month. hopefully that'll be enough for me to heal up and then get back at it.
i apologize for all this.. its really my fault for setting a limit for myself with the 3 slots and then completely ignoring it. ive just really needed this laptop and there've been such worrying signs that id be unable to work enough to get anything done again. that would leave me in a situation where id have to wait for however long it would take for me to wait on people to send me donations to afford a new laptop, or i take a loan from my parents that they'd immediately start ripping out of my paychecks, and i really can't handle that right now. bad enough that on top of all this ive somehow gotta find a new job still to qualify for medicaid due to changed laws...
life is truly worth nothing these days haha, fun.
anyways, that's where things are rn, I'll keep y'all posted and keep trying to get commissions out to people the best I can without my arms snapping in half! ;v; see yall!
