Hi there loves!
I regret being inactive for some time. I wish I can be more productive and prolific. I will try to find ways to make it up. I didn't want to bring my issues up before as I didn't want to seem like I have excuses but, I realized that I should let people know what is up to maintain communication. I have sent out Notes to commissioners but wanted to share some more info in a journal.
Small run-down on what's been going on so that there is transparency:
1. On top of my usual day to day hand pains, I had tweaked my neck badly and was bed ridden for a couple of days. The neck is fine now but the neck sometimes flairs back if I am not careful. I am considering getting a marijuana medical license because I had genuinely wished for death during the 3 days I was bedridden. Figured trying out something I had never done in my life would be a healthier alternative.
2. I broke my wisdom tooth and was terrified of the dentist. I have never had insurance so every dentist visit as a child in the US meant paying a lot if money. My husband got me insurance this year and while it may have taken months to find a doctor it only took us a day to find a dentist :D Folks told me I would get a crown but I feared the worst. :D Guess who was right? This old woman right here! Turns out I'll need to go to the oral surgeon and have three wisdom teeth removed. I have also never had a tooth cleaning so will be going in for multiple visit for teeth cleaning to remedy my "rock wall". I am absolutely fascinated by the sensation of gaps between my teeth! Flossing is easier now too so I'm actually enjoying doing that.
3. My husband's family had some turmoil that lasted for a couple of weeks. His grandfather had a close brush with death 2 weeks before his 90th birthday. The doctor said to treat 90 very well because it may be his last. My piss-poor MiL doesn't have much in finances but she has a wealth of friends who managed to make it an AMAZING party for him - we had an entire restaurant and 80% of the food, and an MC/musician all for free. We also had fire dancers and a hula dancer. Family from the mainland flew in to celebrate. With any family gathering though comes drama and I am not a drama loving person. The anxiety and toxicity from some folks gave me stomach pains for 4 days which didn't help the utter lack of sleep for those 4 days. The last family member went home a day ago and I found myself having a very solid REM sleep ( wild wild... non pg dreams though) and my stomach no longer gives me pain :D
4. My PC had been exhibiting some strangeness for sometime but we thought we fixed it. It worked for sometime but now it really doesn't want to work. My husband suspects that the motherboard might have fried. I thankfully backed up all my ongoing commissions' PSDs so no worries there. My husband's PC didn't want to work for a day too but, it miraculously turned back on after no effort from my husband and I. I'll be figuring out a temp fix on my PC to at least get ongoing comms done and charge through the hand pains OR, see if I can get my husband's PC settup for me to do art on. Eitherway, I just need a couple more idle days to get that sorted.
5. A somewhat mild problem but where I live, we've had 2 near hits with hurricanes. We had to dedicate a lot of time and resources to prep for them. Never forget about your pets' needs during disaster prep gaiz :D I am saying this is a mild problem because by the time the weather system reached where I live it had downgraded to a tropical storm. Didn't have to water my garden for a couple of days :D
So there we go. I didn't list off all the things that dragged at me but who doesn't have day to day, week to week, and month to month issues that they have to slough through like champs?
TLDR:
Body pains real bad. Broke a tooth. G-Pa almost died. Visiting Family drama. PC might be dead. Dodged 2 hurricanes.
PS The printer died so while I do have some owed Freebies done, I am unable to upload them until I can buy a new printer. I'm thinking of getting a laser printer. Good idea or bad? I swear, printer ink is more expensive than blood! ><
