Welcome to 2018! I would've posted a journal earlier but...I got sick on the first day of the new year @ w @;b And then it was followed by a flurry of hospital appointments (routine follow ups, dw they're nothing serious) so that's a start, though I'll have to rush around and chase the hospital about a few things ergh...

But I got my permanent canine crown put in (implant procedure) so I'm really excited to have a full set of teeth again! And I've started on my new years resolution to become ambidextrous! I figured since I already use my left hand for lots of everyday things (like using the computer mouse and eating) I might as well push it further and try to write with it. Hopefully, it'll free up my right hand and reduce the stress on it too.

(Btw, for anyone who was following, I officially finished art for AMBW last year. I only have a few more pieces to do for the physical reward items but otherwise the main game art is done! >w<b)

Anyway, I'll be getting back to emails and the like next week now I'm feeling better *u* How about you all? Any New Years resolutions you hope to stick to?

Woooow, Christmas was really busy. w@ Which happens when you need to help your dad shop for everyone too because for someone who always scoffs at deadline rushers, he's the biggest deadline rusher of all... I ended up neglecting my inbox for a few days but don't worry, I'm getting around to the backlog >

But it was a wonderful time and we even got to see my oldest brother, my sister-in-law AND my nephew who's seriously too cute. He was really well-behaved for the Christmas meal too (9 months now). Though he was more interested in the wreckage of the christmas crackers than anything else lol. <3

Did you all have a good Christmas? owo For me, the best part is the food (and being with family)~

Even though i said I'd be more active on here, I keep getting sidetracked with stuff...s-sorry Dx

Well, if you're curious (i-is anyone still following me even? Lol) I wrapped up the visual novel work I was doing for Afterthought Studios. Sinces there's only some little bits left for the physical kickstarter rewards, I got time this winter season to open commissions which is exciting. I've already gotten some interest so thank you very much! (The two know who I'm talking about hahah)

Unfortunately, my maternal aunt (on the Spanish side of the family) passed away this autumn... I went over there with my parents, mainly to be some emotional support for my mum but it was...an eye opening experience. Besides my grandpa who passed away when I was 8, it was the first time I truly experienced a family loss and especially witnessing the final stages of cancer... I've mostly recovered by now but I feel like I've grown. I can understand how difficult it is for families to care for someone with a terminal illness, and how it sets your own life in perspective a bit...I think? There was a chapel at the hospital in Huercal-overa so I sang Ave maria for her soul =w=; (If you want, please offer a prayer on her behalf, always appreciated).

Sorry if that seemed a bombshell to drop >.<; But as I'm getting older I really do feel like things change. I have a bracelet my aunt gave me years ago and I keep it on me as a memento now.

But even so, I did get other things done... I sang a song I wrote myself for the ARM Music Circle which was the first time I've actually had a whole song of mine set to music! And with my vocals polished up and recorded. @~@ Shoutout to the mixer and the arranger for putting up with my terrible mic setup lol

Otherwise, I'm trooping along just fine, how about all of you? xD
