Pulse, Parenthood, and another P word I dunno

I like alliteration but I'm too tired to think of a good one...
Hello friends! I'm sorry you see me so little around these parts!
As you know, I've taken on the mantle of motherhood and somehow haven't screwed that up so Bear is about a year old now! We're celebrating that birthday soon! ♥ (A reminder that my Twitter is full of little life updates like this if that's your speed! I also have one for Dr. Faust linked on that same profile. :)
Obviously that's part of what keeps me busy- don't think I've forgotten about our experiments on that snake! I still have the progress on the next picture in the series! ♥
Unfortunately, what's led to it being so long for completion is that I've been unable to work due to unimaginable back pack. Pain that was much worse if I used my computer chair (which is how and where I draw!) I've been dealing with this since, gosh, before Christmas? It was rough back then, but it's gotten worse and worse with time. That slow sort of build, and I'd blamed it on so many other things. Lifting the baby (which doesn't help!), doing this or that... But it was the mattress! After a decade, it's given up the ghost. I've rotated it, filled in with blankets under me, done everything possible- but sleep in it results in me being barely able to move the next day. Strong pain meds and muscle relaxers can only do so much!
So I've been banished to the couch for some while, and a few weeks back, using the bed resulted in a morning so bad I was taken in spasms to urgent care. After mentioning that on Twitter, the generous Thornedog came forward with a wonderful offer. Since I'm too incapacitated to actually work on anything, she's running a fundraiser on my behalf! We're trying to replace my mattress so I can go about life without pain again and get back to work! It's been a catch-22. Unable to afford the mattress because I've been unable to work. Unable to work because I can't afford the mattress. Here's hoping we fix that!
I'll be reposting her picture in my submissions so y'all can see it there for ease of use. I just wanted to throw a note out to everyone who doesn't follow me on social media! ♥
