Hi all, I've tried to post a bit more this year than previously, but life events keep getting in the way.

Our landlord asked us to leave our apartment in mid-July. He said we could take a few months to do it, so it's not a proper "eviction," and we're paid up on rent and such. However that's been a big stressor, and it means we have to find another place for the two of us and our four cats to live. My parents have graciously offered to host us in a new little house on their property, but my parents are getting close to elderly and I can only be there so often, so construction is slow.

My boyfriend of almost ten years spent 32 days in the hospital, ending this past Tuesday, due to pancreatitis. So that was pretty stressful as well.

My mother had a mastectomy surgery today to remove a noncancerous tumor.

So when you see I'm not posting much - please know that I'd prefer to be posting a drawing every day if I could. Just life keeps intervening, and my mental health is pretty poor as a consequence. Hard to create when you're depressed and anxious, etc.
