Hello flowers, a quick update because I can't get to sleep lately.

I had a death in the family (and household) a little less than two weeks ago. It was due to age and was a five week decline of absolute stress and sadness.

Before that I was sick and before that I had such financial stress I just wanted to scream always. It's been a rough couple months, since October last year when one of my projects went 3x longer than predicted. I feel like I haven't caught up to myself since.

But! I've been channeling my lost loved one's energy and life has become back on track! I suspect to clear out my commission queue by early April. I've developed a daily yoga and meditation practice, thanks to yoga teacher training, and that's made a massive difference in my mental health.

I'm getting my first tattoo in two weeks - I just finished designing it tonight! I'm going to post a million pictures when it's done. There's some Warriors theme incorporated - I tried not to be too nerdy, hahaha. I'm really excite!

In other news, Wasabi Con is in two weekends and I'll be there again this year! After that I'll be going to Asia again this year too to visit my parents.

Thanks everyone who bought my Warriors bookmarks online! I'm so grateful with how well they've been received.
