general update, July 2013
12 years ago
Thought about going to the DE Furbowl this Saturday. Hmm... would really like to see Renashe again, and Hossifer, and meet Rexxie, all of whom will be there. But... I guess I'll stay at home. I have an opportunity to go swimming, and if I do that, it'll burn me out. Also some local bowling maybe, so I guess I'll stick around. Would have been fun to hang out with the fursuiters again, though. One of these days, hopefully.
I did not go to Anthrocon this year. But, I have been following the news reports and photos and videos of the con, and am happy for all who were able to attend, and hope you all had a great time. Sounds like you did.:) I will be there next year.
I will not be going to any more cons for the remainder of 2013. I've got some important matters to take care of so I can have my life back, so that, and I need to save my money for next year's exotic cruise vacation, if I decide to attempt that again. Additionally, I will not be attending any more cons period until I have my full fursuit, and no more local meets until I at least have my feet paws. I was really excited when I debuted my lion partial last year at AC12, but now looking at it, the partial I made seems a bit lame (by my own standards), as it needs refinements and more to balance it out. The head also is long overdue for some much-needed internal fitting adjustments and electric wiring. So, I must find motivation and get to work on this. Hopefully, the full suit will debut in 2014.
Went to the eye doctor today (again). Went pretty well this time. My vision went south for unknown reasons in April, in both eyes (and I had just gotten new glasses in February!), and I've made many treks to the eye doctor since. Today got a prescription for new contact lenses, and for glasses, so now I should not have to return again, God willing, until my regular exam next year.
Have been trying to back off of stuff and have been lax and trying not to worry and care about stuff less. I was starting to have chest pains every week, if not every day, and let me tell you, that scares the hell out of me. Too much worry about recent events and the future. Trying to calm down and care less about stuff, and let things slide. For this reason, was glad my cruise was cancelled, and was glad I decided to stay home from AC this year. Feeling a lot better the past 2 weeks. Blood pressure is good (or so I am told), never had any problems with that, and let's keep it that way. If I make it through 2013, I think I'll be okay.

and make sure to take it easy, don't want any exploding lions!
And yes, definitely, exploding lions would be bad!
I decided to not go swimming today, but I did do some drawing instead! An image of my lion fursona, still a work in progress.
Thanks. And yes, I'll be in touch for a visit.
I do hope to see you again soon. :)
Thanks for remembering my birthday, even with what you have on your plate. What kind of cruise were you thinking about?
You are welcome. Most probably a 7-day Royal Caribbean cruise heading to the Bahamas, briefly stopping at FL on the way.
