Where I've Been
6 years ago
I apologize for vanishing from here without a trace. A few years ago my health just kind of fell apart and I lost almost everything in pursuit of a diagnosis (I was starting to think that I was going crazy). It wasn't until the Fall of last year that I finally got a lead: Sleep Apnea. I have apparently been living with undiagnosed sleep apnea for God only knows how long, and it has ravaged my physical and mental wellbeing. I'm actually a little lucky to be alive.
Finally got a CPAP early this year and my condition has improved dramatically since I started using it. There's still some things that I just can't do anymore, like drink caffeinated beverages, dine on really spicy hot sauces, go running or hiking, or just take spontaneous naps, but I am rebuilding my stamina, and my digestion and breathing have finally improved back to a human level. I did lose my job, and I don't expect finding a new one to be easy, but I do have a plan for going forward.
As for when I will be able to start making art again; I don't know. Losing my apartment came not long after losing my employment. As such I do not have a suitable workstation at the moment. There are places I can stay, and my computer is actually in usable condition at one of them, but it is by no means in a state where I can just draw whatever I want on it in anything like a free or timely manner (not that I have ever been a particularly speedy artist). But, like I said, I do have a plan for going forward. I may even be in a place where I can start sketching and scanning my sketches in relative privacy before the end of the year.
