I've been quiet lately. let me tell you why.

One, I've been sick. They've noticed abnormal readings on my thyroid, but need to do more tests before they can figure out how to treat it (including an ultrasound of my neck). So I go between exhaustion and a painful restlessness in the meantime.

Two, work is really stressing me out. Not only is it really busy lately, but I'm having some interpersonal problems, made worse by a combination of my autism and someone else's passive-aggression.

Three, I'm about to have major surgery on Wednesday, to remove a pretty significant amount of (benign!) tissue that has been causing me pain and bad posture. I will be off work for at least a week, possibly longer, and living with my mama during recovery. I'm excited about the final results, but getting there is gonna be a huge pain...! Literally.

So until I recover from my surgery I won't be around much. I love you guys though and I look forward to the day I feel well enough again to pick up painting again.

peace,
Tica
