Homework:
This past week presented a lot of homework for me and various things to figure out, but I feel I've at least managed the minimum, though hope to push a bit more forward today. Overall, things have been alright. It's been good I've been making a wee bit extra. The savings...is well, gone now pretty much as my mum needed the money for vet bills again and house bills. She keeps making herself overwhelmed by thinking she has a billion tasks to do in a day when many of the things she tells me she has to do are either several days away or even weeks away. It's been mentally difficult to deal with at times because I'd like to help her, but I need to be able to help myself first...and not to mention, I can't help her with her mental things. We did at least manage a therapist and she's also getting physical therapy as she's lost of a lot of muscle and thus her body has become weak. You can imagine the danger when you're frail and have a 45+ kg dog who has medical issues of her own. Despite how often I remind her as well, her dog will never heal from thyroid problems and will need the meds the rest of her life, but she likes to think she can solve it through some holistic means or eventually stopping the medication. Not gonna happen, sad to say.
It's been like this on and off all year, but I do hope it lessens at some point. She's become toxic to be around and thus, here we are >.< Oh well, I manage at least and am trying what I can when I can. I do notice the homework and progress has opened my eyes to a few things I've generally either neglected to consider with my art, or forgot at some point for one reason or another. Probably mostly complacency since I no longer see other artists in person, except maybe 1x a year as of an off chance.
I'm still surviving though. Bit by bit so don't worry!
Also, as shown above, I'm holding an ART RAFFLE on my bluesky for reaching 200+ followers! I look forward to this raffle. There's some wonderful characters in the comments already!
Thank you for everyone's support and patience!
