Hi, how's everybody doing?
I've been practically bed bound for almost a week. I caught a nasty stomach bug and a bad cold, so as you can imagine, I'm feeling pretty awful. I don't think I've ever been this sick in my adult life. My body doesn't feel mine, it's scary... I'm too tired and weak to do anything but lie in bed - but at least I have finally enough energy to write and read.
It looks like I'll have to take another break from drawing soon, for two reasons.
1) I'm having bad problems with my Master's thesis. Very bad. Seriously, every single thing that could possibly have gone wrong has gone wrong. At this point, I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Maybe both... My university is going through tough times and it's greatly affecting students. Everything is changing and getting more and more complicated and difficult, and I have no clue what to do. And no one can help me. No one has a clue what to do. But hey, I'll try to stay positive. Now I've encountered every obstacle that could be imagined. That wasn't a challenge, Universe!
2) I might be moving again soon. That would be the third time this year...
My uncle and his wife are moving to another country for the winter, and they need somebody to look after their house and dog while they're away, so I offered my help. I'm not sure if they have a scanner...

Happy New Year!
So, 2023 is almost over. This year was a pretty exhausting one, lots of negative energy... I'm still heartbroken over all the drama in my family, but I'm slowly learning to set up healthy boundaries... and learning to accept that maybe some people just aren't meant to get along, blood or not. And their drama is not my drama. And I'm allowed to be my own person and have my own life. I had many interesting (or "interesting") experiences this year. I had my last wisdom tooth removed, I moved (again), I bought a new car... I had Covid for the first time. I did some travelling. I had plantar fasciitis in my right foot (and it was PAINFUL!). I finished one of my comics, 'Correcting Injustice'. I'm very excited for next year. I have big plans, both life-wise and art-wise. I don't want to reveal too much, but I can tell you one thing. I'm going to do that "Draw Something Every Day" challenge again. The one I did in
Happy 2023.
This bunny I drew in Paint represents my year 2022. I don't know what to think about it. On one hand, some good things happened. I finally graduated. My boyfriend moved in with me. Both were awesome things. But on the other hand, I had a lot of work stress, some resurfacing childhood trauma, and a lot of problems with my family. Not to sound too dramatic or anything, but my family is falling apart and I don't think it can be fixed. I had to go low contact with some people, and I'm willing to go no contact if their toxic behavior doesn't change. I'm absolutely heartbroken. But I also feel... free? I had gotten so used to being used, controlled, guilt-tripped and manipulated that I didn't even realize it was happening. But now I'm starting to see that I've been losing myself for years... So yeah. That was my 2022. I sure hope 2023 will be better!
Exciting News :D
Well, maybe more exciting for me than for you guys, but anyway... Backstory: I haven't had a good night's sleep in 8 months. And I'm not exaggerating. On the best days I'm just tired but can still somewhat function. On the worst days I'm a zombie and can't get anything done (or do stupid things, like a few days ago I almost microwaved one of my orchids). The ventilation system thingy (not sure what it's called in English, or even in Finnish) of this building must be broken or something. It's been making this extremely annoying noise for 8 months. A noise that comes through earplugs and earmuffs. A noise that's impossible for me to ignore. It has been keeping me awake. I only sleep when I get so tired that I just kind of... die? And that's not healthy. Two nights ago it was so bad, I tried sleeping on the balcony, even though the nights here are still pretty cold. I'm starting in a new job on Monday, in a hospital. And I want to be not-dead for the sake of the patients. Whatever is
Old piece of art + Spring Update
Hi! I hope you guys are well. :) First, the Spring Update. I'm pretty busy and tired right now, so I'm not very active on here. It's only temporary. I'm currently doing my very last internship. This is my 3rd week, and after this week, there's going to be 2 more weeks. I'm so ready for this to be over. :XD: Not that I don't like learning, but I'm just sooo tired. I'm in a strange city I've never been to before, and I have to share a flat with strangers. I'm too old to have roommates... Linneakitty is staying with my grandparents. They're in good paws. I'll try to be a little more active on here after the internship ends, at least for a while. I miraculously got a summer job in my home city, so I won't have to move anywhere like I did last summer, when I had two apartments. :XD: I'll be starting in early May. --- And now, a little story. My mother sent me photos of some drawings and paintings I did in school as a child. As soon as I saw this one... ... I felt a wave of

Ugh I can't imagine anything worse than a university that's falling on hard times - university is the most important time of your life!! That's so difficult and I feel for you, but your Uncle's house sounds like that might be cool. Good luck and keep smiling!!
