Tl;Dr warning
So I'm gonna try to churn something out tonight but it'll probably be tomorrow. But you know, maybe my busted cord on the Surface isn't such a bad thing. It's a good opportunity for me to get back on the pc and really churn out some more technical stuff. While my character art is as good as it can be for the most part, I feel like I can do a lot more in terms of scenery and comics on the pc. More precision. Access to my mouse and keys.
I'm left-handed and mouse with my right, so I can dual-wield! I can also make movies again, which will be fun once things stabilize. My preliminary stuff is a little different now so it'll be fun for me to compare that to an older video.
I just hate. My. Goddamn. Chair. I'm having some complications with my Worker's Comp claim but hopefully I can sort it out soon so I can replace the chair. If not then I guess taxes?
Although. Flickie and I have made a serious attempt to quit vaping. We spend an embarrassing amount of money on it, and while we can usually make ends meet, it's hard. And there's almost no money for fun unless I get sizable commissions. Now, I always welcome commissions, but it'll be less dire if we can stick to it. I know it's ridiculous that poor people like us have such a silly habit. But we're prone to addiction and using vices to cope with stress. Not an excuse, just what happens. But we're adults and have to control ourselves now.
I'm using the patch to help. My doctor was able to prescribe them for me, and my insurance covers it. So we'll be spending half as much as anticipated on them. Which will help a lot. I have some now, but the adhesive sucks. We used some patches when we quit smoking like 9 years ago (lasted for 8 years), and those patches seemed fine. And we used generic then and now. Guess we just got an old box or something. I'm rambling.
If you pray, pray for my success, please. If you don't, well, wish me luck. And if you don't buy luck, then... Well... I'm sure you support this decision. No one WANTS someone to smoke/vape.
I know I SHOULD care about the potential for popcorn lung, but... It's about the money for me. It's an instant reward and something tangible. Plus I am healthy as far as side effects go for vaping. And yeah, I'll admit it sucks. I'd rather be vaping. I'm only on the morning of day 2. Anything can still go wrong, but I am determined to make that not happen. I know by the end of tomorrow, it gets easier. I did this before. I'm really stupid for putting myself through this again. Really stupid. It was miserable.
I did most of my vaping while I worked on art... Which is... Haha. Art is practically all I do so... Reprogramming myself is definitely odd. I also did it a lot in the mornings before work for obvious reasons.

I am a tablet/mouse dual-wielder too. That and Keyboard Shortcuts is a god-send!
I wish both you and Flickie all the success with the Vape quitting. It's not an easy thing to do but, you've done it before, you can do it again! <3
Yeah, it's rough. And I feel like a total idiot for being here again, but I'm stopping. And hopefully, this will be the last time. Because this sucks and I hate being broke.
