Health update (Patreon)

Just a quick sketch of Ereviim, couldn't get it to cooperate enough to finish it! Still figuring out his anatomy, but loving the fusion of human and animal shapes I can give him. 

A while ago I talked about my health, mostly some hormonal trouble I was having. I'm happy to say that that is basically resolved, and overall I'm feeling MUCH better than I was, physically and emotionally. Those issues were caused by my testosterone being left unchecked and getting way too high, but I've had my dose adjusted, and so many of those symptoms have lessened, if not left altogether. 

After getting my blood checked again, I am actually a bit low on T, so now begins the process of inching my dose back up so that my levels can get to what they should be. I began that process last week, so this week I'm dealing with some brain stuff and other minor symptoms... but definitely so much better than I was in the beginning of the year. I'm pushing through it, talking about it and doing things I know I enjoy, so I don't get stuck in a rut. So far that's working. 

Art is going slower than I would like, especially this week. It is definitely moving, so I'm happy, I just want to push myself harder. I think I know how I can speed things up, too - more schedule, more study, and more streaming. Using Trello has been a huge help already, so I'm so glad I switched to that. Next step is fixing our total lack of a day-to-day and sleep schedule. 

With both a new approach to my work, and better health with which to approach it, I feel capable for the first time in... ever, honestly. My queue is bigger than ever, and that part is something I want to change, but more importantly, I finally feel like I'm ABLE to change it. I really don't know if I ever had that before.

I feel like I have a plan, a good plan, and the means with which to carry it out. I have my fam, who have been so supportive and helpful, and I have amazing supporters like you to share the fruits of my labor with! I just feel good, haha. Like there is a definable light in front of me, distance behind me, and like things are actually changing. 

Right now, I'm looking forward to the rest of this year. I hope that continues!
