Long Overdue

2 min read
So for last several months I have been away from DeviantArt. The reason is quite simple, I was been quite ill, both physically and emotionally. Last year I was put on something called TPN, Total parenteral nutrition, which is used to substitute nutrition for a person who can feed themselves, or in my case, who can not maintain their weight. At my lowest weight I was less then 100 pounds, that is at least 20 pounds lower then my healthy weight. The TPN was used to help me gain and retain my weight. But that was not all of it.

I was in and out of the hospital for months, and it was soon figured out that I was constantly becoming dehydrated. This was in part do to the fact that I no longer have a colon, the part of the Gastro-Intestinal track that absorbs and collects the fluids that a person consumes.

So between the weight I could not control and the constant hospital trips my spirit was pretty much crushed. I have been dealing with depression and have not been wanting to do the things I love, like drawing.

Over the past few weeks though I have been coming onto DeviantArt periodically to try to clean up the thousands for images, posts, and polls I have not seen.  Maybe at some point soon I will put up some new art. I can not say for sure. Still it is nice to share what is going with my life... if anyone cares...

You know what is worse than loosing your laptop? Loosing an entire season because you are ill. I swear since possibly March have been ill. Not the simple kind of ill, but a serious kind; a kind of ill that has you going to the hospital on a regular basis and makes you totally depressed by the end of the whole ordeal.

I will not go into details but I will say that since March I got better then worse in June and stayed getting worse over time. I spent a little over a week in the hospital about two weeks ago and feel a little better but frankly speaking I depressed and tired and not in the mood to do anything. I guess you can say it started in March, this depression, or it started a long time ago or I simply always had it. I think it is the last option personally. I have been saying for a while that my lead emotion (if we are following Inside Out's logic) is Sadness.

Look, I am not sure why I am even here today. I guess, I just really want to type this and explain why I have been gone for months. I don't know what I plan doing, or if I will be around often. But I guess I here today.

For last few... months already... (has it really been months now? crap) I have been in a terrible slump. It started back in November and continued all the way till now. I am out of it yet, but I am starting to come around. I am super sorry to everyone I have left in the lurch. I know people have been counting on me for some reason or another and I feel bad that I have not been able to pull through for them.

On a brighter note I have in fact started that Etsy shop I promised to. Here it is: www.etsy.com/shop/CraftersLigh… I am not sure if it is any good so if anyone wants to give me pointers I would happily take them.

Well that is all for now. Maybe more in friday, who knows...

God there is a lot of snow out my window.

So I have been almost completely absent from DA for the last couple weeks. I could say that I was not expecting it but that would be inaccurate. The fact that since the Jewish High Holy Days I have not been able to keep up with what I want to do on DA is what is the main problem... I am not good with three day weekends. And now with the sun setting so early and my personal time shortened drastically and my new job and a ton of other things I have not been able to focus on art or guilds the way I want to.

With that said let me give you all an update of the last few weeks.

Monday two weeks ago I had one of the best nights of my life. I know that is an incredibly strange thing to say but it is true. It was a day I planned for much like I planned for my wedding or trips to New York with my Husband. That day I met three people who are rather famous in the circles I travel in. First was my beloved author Gail Carriger, writer of the Soulless books and Finishing School series. Around that time my father-in-law was coming to town on the bus and I was going to meet him and my husband afterwards to meet two other people. Those two people proved to be just as awesome. These two people are quite a bit famous than Gail, and one was even having a birthday that day. Any guesses? No? Well then I guess you don't Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman that well then. ...So yeah Amanda was celbrating the publishing of her first book and Neil his birthday. We march to the book story and had grand time. When we finally returned home everyone was pooped. The next day I had work but I was feeling really good so it did not matter.

What happened later that week really messed me up though. I won't go into any detail but simply put a problem that I thought was fixed proved to be getting worse so my doctors are now keeping a sharper eye on me.

But enough of sad things. Yesterday was a happy day. Simply put I got my new Pokemon game. I am a very happy camper now, if not a very tired one. So with that I will leave you, Alpha and her team are waiting for me.
