Hey all this journal's probably going to be a little short. Though I thought a short one's better than none. Given this is overdue as it is.

My July had a good mix of highs and lows. Some good things some bad. Just in case you didn't notice by my more recent submissions. I didn't win  Temperance's contest. Though I didn't really mind. I created a lot of designs I'm proud of and I have plans for a good chunk of the characters. Especially the ones that I enjoyed designing the most.

As for actual July like I said it had it's ups and downs. At the start of the month I was doing pretty good working on artwork, writing a little for Camp NaNoWriMo, going to the YMCA a lot and just trying to get in the right frame of mind and just be more positive while getting in better shape.

One really awesome thing that happened to me during the month was I got to go to a furmeet in Charlotte. That was a blast it felt really good to hang out with friends and make new ones. The surprise of  Eddiebear and  Gamma.Wolf arriving just making it better.
Though the heat that day was rough. During that time we were for the most part without AC in the truck. Getting there wasn't so bad though as the day heated up the ride home was pretty rough. Grabbing a icebag at the gas station it helped keep Mattie cool for most of the ride. A pitstop at KFC really helping the journey as well. We eventually got home safe and with an exception of a checkup at the doctors office we didn't really leave the house till the temperatures cooled down again.

Early this month we got the compressor we needed and then found out we needed another part. Though even though I had to sacrifice going to this month's Queen City furbowl or risk some more expensive damage to the truck. We got the part now though I don't know if it's been installed yet so hopefully that'll be the end of vehicle troubles for a while.

I wish the good mood I was in from the meet would of lasted longer. Toward the end of the month I started feeling a bit depressed as well as dealing with a migraine. (I'm sure the doctor's visit had something to do with this one I wasn't aloud to take anything for my head for a couple weeks)
At the start of August it's all stuck around though some new lightbulbs have helped me a bit at least up till this week. I was getting in a better mood and getting quite a bit of work done. I'm nearly done with a commission and have gotten a little further with Takeshi's bodysuit. Now I'm actually feeling like I'm going to be finishing it any week now. Just have to try and get over this migraine and the depressed mood that's come with it. Though I'm pushing myself to try and at least get a little bit done when I'm able. Even if it means going and working in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.

I hope everyone else is doing well. How's your month gone? Anything happen that put you in a good mood this week?
