Lemme start out by saying...I think I've overextended myself with the holidays on the horizon. To be fair, I was operating at better health than normal...but that was before things started to deteriorate.
The thing is, I have been dealing with on and off again nausea since the tail end of September. I didn't give it all that much thought at the time. But around the middle of October, it shifted from just daily nausea to pain in my upper stomach and loss of appetite. I'm still dealing with that at present...though it's gotten better slowly. The key word there is 'slowly'. In the meantime, I've been put on heavy stomach meds to try and help whatever is going on clear up. I've also got some tests coming up, including a colonoscopy/endoscopy combo just after my birthday. Delightful. Not sure what is going on, and I'll keep my tongue bit until I have some confirmation. But that, coupled with holiday duties has really thrown a spanner in the works.
So here's what I'm staring down the barrel of in terms of workload. I've got 5 commissions lined up, I also have a Thanksgiving Sable Able sticker to draw. On top of that, I've got like 4 other non-comm pictures I want to color, A Christmas sticker I need to plot out, and I'd like to do some asks before the year is out. And on top of that, I've got writing to do. I'm probably forgetting something, and there was stuff on my '2024' hit list I will not be able to accomplish in time. I'm going to try and push some of the non-comm pics to after New Year's. This wouldn't be too bad if it weren't...you know...the holidays. And thanks to my health issues I've been unable to keep up with a lot of the housework and daily stuff, as well as festive things in general.
I'm feeling pretty burnt out. Deep fried with a capital emoji 'B'. Halloween was a disappointment, it looks like I won't be able to eat, let alone cook for Thanksgiving, and I have my doubts about Christmas at this point. I hate being exhausted, and I hate having my stomach be on a perpetual hair trigger as to whether or not I'll be in pain for hours. I just want to draw damnit. Well, draw and write.
I'm going to try and reassess things a little later this week, to try and smooth out the full workload into something that allows for some time leniency for unexpected rougher health days and Holiday activities with my Mom. I'll be in touch with all the 'Commission' seekers as soon as I get that fleshed out. That said, I'm glad I don't take payments until I get up to the commission in question.
Shorter one this time. It's nearly 5 am, I'm tired, and forcing myself to play catch up. Sorry if the typos are worse than usual. I'm using Grammarly to preview these but it doesn't catch everything.
Check the links below. We'll have a new Keychain listed soon. Get your Keychains while you can, because if the import fees become too expensive when the new administration comes in, I won't be able to make more anytime soon.
Thanks to my backers and fans...
