I keep getting either a jittery feeling by my elbow or uncomfortable warmth and chills running along my lower arm when I use the mouse too much. I think this is a pretty good sign it’s time to step down and look for something else. I’ve been messing around with a mouse and ms paint for about ten years now, but only the past five or so have been serious. Just making quick doodles start to feel uncomfortable now. Damage has been done.

I’ve ordered a tablet today. I wanna give that a try and see if I can draw with that. Might be less straining on my lower arm as a whole. I don’t wanna choose between quitting drawing or get more permanent damage or pain. It’s gonna be weird, but worth a try! So I’m gonna lay low until I start experimenting with that. Probably do some traditional doodles with a mechanical pencil if I get the itch~

I did some of that today, and it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, it felt great! But yeah, gonna return to uploading derps when I get to experimenting with that thing.
