hey gang! i know it's been a minute and i promised more activity, so i'm sorry that hasn't really happened. not much has changed since my last update but enough has that i feel i should give another update. so first of all, school has started back up! yippee! i'm now a senior and back in public school, which is a nice change of pace. it's also a LOT of work. i'm less than a month in and i'm already very behind in some of my classes, primarily due to the adjustment shock and a sudden severe flare-up. i've had a migraine almost every other day for three weeks, INSANE fatigue, and pain so bad i can hardly function. obviously when things are this bad, i have to prioritize the necessities, which would be my grades and my health. also, i'll be so honest, i've just got no motivation. i'm the comic artist for the school newspaper (yippee), but i'm also the first one our school has had since like the 70s, so it's a huge expectation. artfight also just ended, and i'd spent a lot of my energy on that. sadly, even though i love it, art just burns up a lot of spoons for me and i have to be strategic about it. and since that's primarily what i do here, that means that naturally i have less to post. the good news is, i'll be going to the doctor soon and get some testing done, so hopefully we'll move forward with my diagnosis of JIA and CFS soon, and i'll be able to get treatment. once that happens i'll hopefully have more mental and physical room for the things i love, and scratch won't have to take a backseat! there is ONE more reason i haven't been posting: i've got a fairly huge project in the works!!! stay tuned for that!!!!!!
