Journal: Hey all!

Just a quick update! (I say quick now, but just watch me type a novel.)

First off I am well! I guess there's a first time for everything and I suppose this is one of those "Life Updates" — I haven't been in a good place the past few months, but I'm doing my very best to scrape by, and I'm doing much better now entering December. I have gotten e-mails, tumblr asks, dms on twitter asking if I was okay, since I've been pretty quiet these days so I figured I'd start by saying something here, then work on reviving myself online later on. It means a lot when someone reaches out to me, sometimes I'm even overwhelmed or surprised that people would worry about my own well being.

I plan on getting super festive for December though! It might even reflect in my art. For the most part, I will be taking a chill pill this month, relax, not worry about things, not over-work myself which I do too often, and have been doing. I haven't been able to find time for streaming, which I barely get to do once a month if at all, so I'll need to figure something out there and just... stop the train and stream for a bit, even if it kills me haha.

We actually just had a really heavy snow storm that hit us the day before yesterday, and lasted a fair chunk of yesterday. Snowed in, lost our power and running water for what seemed like forever, but it was only ...I wanna say 30 hours? Only!? I got to be AMISH... That was not fun... You never know what you have until it's gone, and I will say water is very, very, very delicious when you have limited water. 8'D

We got out the old oil lanterns, busted out monopoly, and some other bored games to entertain ourselves. It was nostalgic, the power would go off all the time when I was younger. I'm thankful the power came back on so I could wrap up the posts, but unfortunately our whole area has an internet outage that's been out since the storm hit us, so I'm guessing some polls fell down somewhere. Tech support said tonight but it's well past that, so I just tethered most of what I had left for phone data, and I'll wait until the internet comes back to post the rest of the artwork I wanted to post.

It's hard to believe all this is happening in November, I don't remember getting snow so early but we already had two storms, and one really big one. I don't know what that means for this winter in the great white north, but BRING IT ON.

I suppose I rambled enough though, so I'll let you all get back to whatever you were doing if you've made it to the bottom. Take care everyone, thank you to those who've reached out as well, it fills me with determination. ?
