I am pretty much recovered now. It was confirmed that I had an unusually severe case of food poisoning which was made severe due to the combination of that and a stomach flu that had been going around. It was both that made the condition so bad. As it is, I am better. I am still surprisingly weak when it comes to moving around. I have finished a few new sketches to final stage and will begin inking them tomorrow. I have also laid out my drawings all the way to #50. I and detailing those next as I ink one or two a day from here one out. There is little chance I will finish by the original deadline of April 15.

But seeing as I lost more than a week being sick, I am giving myself an extra 10 days to make it up.

It is possible I could finish by the 15th, if it were not for the conference this weekend. I have been asked to give a panel lecture concerning Furry, what it is and how it can affect and intersect with the Leather, BDSM, and other fetish communities. So I have to spend some time this week preparing for this. I am really looking forward to this as there are lots of folks out there who have heard of Furry but have no real clue as to what it is. This is my chance to help them understand Furry and accept it.

Of course, on top of all this is the construction of the new pool, which is getting done sooner than I suspected. Which means today and tomorrow, I am helping to dig up and transplant a lot of plants before they dig the hole.

As always, I am managing to stay very busy. I'm sending out this update, taking a break and playing a few games before I go out and dig. Then later tonight, I practice the presentation for this weekend, and still have to make dinner. After that, I'll draw some more.

And I will leave with a strange question that just popped into my head...

Why are there not any undead/zombie themed Easter Bunny/Peeps/Candy? I would find eating the facsimile of a chocolate rabbit more appetising if it looked as if it'd try and eat me first.
