#MUTED WIP + packing progress +more

Happy Saturday, gemlins!

And welcome to the many new gemlins who joined the past few days omg ;;;;;;;;; Thank you all so much!! I'm a bit overwhelmed by so many new eyeballs, but very very happy and appreciative :'))

I'm assuming most of you are here for the new chapter! To see the already released episodes in the correct order, please click here! That should make it a little bit easier than scrolling backwards through my recent posts :)

Today I bring you a small update on the upcoming episode! Some .... brotherly banter :3c Some healthy teasing between siblings is a weakness of mine ;;;; And Jasper and Jacob are perfect for that. Their relationship is very playful, they're very close in age and grew up more as close friends than typical brothers. There have rarely been fights in their childhood, their characters bounce off of each other very nicely and they love each other a lot and always have each other's backs! 😭

As some of you know there is a third brother, too! We will meet Elias in this chapter, and his relationship with his brothers, especially Jasper, is quite different 👀

The second picture in this post shows you the poor state my apartment is currently in XD I'm using my laundry rack as a substitute table these days, because I don't have enough space for all the boxes, envelopes, products etc lolol I'm seriously considering ordering a new table, just so that I have a bit more usable surface (and can keep the thing I need to dry my laundry for its intended purpose hahah)

I have done nothing but print invoices, shipping labels, sorting them into categories and packing these last couple of days @ _@) But  I can slowly see the light at the end of the tunnle!

In other news I also finally got a diagnosis for the health issues I've mentioned a couple of times in the past (remember me being fully unable to breathe and function for weeks at the end of last and beginning of this year? XD)! Turns out I did indeed develop asthma, my bronchia are pretty messed up and I also developed a slight dog hair allergy ; _;) The asthma is getting treated now and I felt the positive effects almost immediately. So I'm very happy, my greatest fear was the doctor not finding anything, but as long as I have a diagnosis and a plan on how to  improve things then I'm good :')
In hindsight this could also explain the almost constant fatigue I've been feeling this year, since I wasn't able to really rest at night, because I kept waking up with breathing problems a lot, and the inhaler I got before is a quick fix and helped immediately but is of course no long-term solution. So I never felt quite rested and instead started to feel increasingly exhausted and sluggish during the days.

Luckily I still somehow managed to kinda stay on top of things for the most part up until now! But I am considering taking a bit of a small break some time in December, to recharge properly and not just rely on the meds to immediately fix everything 👀💦 But I haven't really decided yet on what that's gonna look like, so I'll update you on that when the time comes 💕

For now back to packing up orders I go~~!! 💕💕💕 Thank you again for supporting me here, I've said it a million times but it truly means the world to me ; _; I'm wrecking my brain to come up with something I could offer you guys as an extra reward for just outright slamming one milestone after the other............ I'll find something nice................. 👀👀
