Still Here

Been a while since I updated you guys on my condition. I meant to do it sooner. But never got around to it.

My back... well, I guess overall I have to say it's improved seeing how I can at least manage the pain better. For a while it was getting worse and the muscles in the middle of my back got so tight it was hard to walk. It was better by the time I finally got into the physical therapist. I've been meeting with him all last week and this week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. (Well, last Friday I missed my appointment when I somehow slept through my alarm but still.)

He said my back trouble is likely due to my posture which is kinda what I figured he'd say anyway. I know my posture is not the greatest and I tend to hunch. So he's been working with me to stretch and strengthen the muscles. I haven't seen much improvement since I've been working with him, but it hasn't gotten worse at least. I was able to return to work and can manage even being at my home computer for a little while.

This has only been the last couple days though. I usually just had to rest on the couch after work to try and save my back after work. And it's already pretty sore tonight so I probably won't be able to stay on the computer much longer. But that's where we are. I'm better than it was at it's worst, and it hasn't gotten worse over the last two weeks, but there's still pain.

This means comics and stuff are still delayed, I'm sorry to say. At least in the sense that I have to really work on anything. During the time I've been resting, I got re-addicted to Burn Notice and Harvest Moon. So that kind of ate my free time over the last couple weeks. But I want to get started back into working on stuff by doing Egglocke pages. That requires minimum editing time and I might be able to manage drawing and coloring those on the couch.

In other projects, I have only been shiny hunting off and on the last couple weeks. I got really annoyed with Eevee. I'm over 1,000 eggs and nothing so I just stopped for the time being on that one. I was focused on Numel for a few days and ended up with some shiny Koffing that I haven't posted here yet. But then I finally managed to get Cresselia's island to show up so since then I've just been soft resetting on her. She's taking a while. Probably not as long as Uxie or Ho-Oh in number of total resets, but in days probably the longest since I've only done a bunch of short sittings on her.

Due to not being able to write at the computer, I haven't been able to write that Nightmare Valentine's special like I planned. I worked on it a little at work but not enough to be worth uploading it yet. So it's sadly delayed. Hopefully I can get it out before the end of the month but it won't be in time for the holiday. Go me. My back has really had me laid up for longer than I expected. And I was so motivated to get back on track finally, ugh!

And that's where I am. I guess. I think I am going to apply for a new position at work. It'd only be temporary, but it would be fun if I could get it. We'll see how that goes. I tend not to get too hopeful about these positions as their interview process is really weird and they ask dumb questions and want dumb answers. (In my opinion. But hey, I don't run a huge corporation so what do I know?)

Anyway, going to have some dinner now and hopefully get some stuff done tonight. Might just keep working on Harvest Moon though, ha ha.
