Small life update...

Dad's sick

Real sick

Hard on fever, he says it was mites in the furniture, but I worry it might be his prostate, he's leaving a lot of blood stains, altho cousin also mentions his diabetes, as his old gun-wounded right leg has swollen up real bad, and it's also bleeding, so who knows if his diabetes has risen so much they might have to amputate his leg...

But yeah it might be mites, I mean, I've been lying on the sofa and my entire body now itches a lot, and it might be because my mum's Alzheimer's has been getting worse, her being the only person that can clean around the house.

The dollar has skyrocketed, and tbh I doubt my dad makes more than like 150-200 a day, so he obviously can hardly afford the meds, which are hard to get anyways cuz Venezuela

And I also haven't got that many comms, so no monies, which means I can hardly help, but at the same time, my fucking wrist is slowly also getting worse too

Yeah, I stretch and use this roll-on thing for sore muscles as constantly as I can

It's mostly my Wrist, but fingers also hurt (trigger finger I guess? Holding phone, pencil and controller makes it hurt)

We are seeing if I go to a hand doc or something...


We'll take dad to doctor tomorrow I'll have to help him pay, im really thankful for having a boyfriend with actual plans and maturity, thanks to him I have some money saved, altho at the same time, it's not really the idea y'know

Yes, those are for emergencies, but those are still just like 1k, and we've been using it lately, like buying things for the stupid bike that stopped workin

It's still not much and there's a lot of things we need to still buy, like luckily we have essential, food n all, but the month is ending and then we'll have to pay rent and internet and all that crap, and no commissions...

I also owe someone a mini comic (I needed the money and tbh I do feel inspired into doing this), a three page things flat color, just a couple panels, about gosha and yahya being gay

But obviously haha I need more comms and that's gonna take a while...

Oh and by the fucking waaay, as the cherry on the shitty top...

.... Over 8k cases of HIV on Venezuela....




Next time someone says ai doesn't ruin things I'm gonna cockslap a faggot

I mean either that or my art sucks now I dunno...

(I know it's actually because y'all are also having issues, turns out late stage capitalism is actually bit kinda super shitty, who'd have thought... I understand that, I'm not really begging for donations or comms, even tho yes, I'd obviously def appreciate it, I just legit just want to vent out all this bullshit)

I'll be going to sleebies so I can help dad tomorrow, and luckily I'll feel better, I brought my laptop and tablet so I'll try to keep up with work (somehow even amidst all the stress and wrist pain, I've actually been super energetic and inspired lately, I want to draw so many things!!) as much as I can, as always, thanks for the patience and love, even tho life sucks, I'm ngl, it does feel nice to at least know some of you actually care and will still try to help... I'm really legit thankful for that... Love you all

I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening. All I can suggest is to hang in there and keep on trucking.

The "trigger finger" is an ergonomic issue related to your desk setup when you draw.  Stretches help recovery, but if you do not change your actual dimensions of your desk setup, then it is going to get worse over time.

It's called "repetitive strain injury" and basically you are causing micro-tears in your muscles.  These turn to scar tissue over time, which builds up, and eventually causes the muscles to become disabled with pain.  In addition, these built-up scar tissues can pinch a nerve causing carpal tunnel.

You just need to get your desk set up differently.  You need the desk to be at the proper height, your arms should be relaxed at your sides, and your elbow should never be locked in mid-air and your wrist should not be hanging off the edge of your table.

I use a folding table as my desk because the legs have adjustable height.  I use "speaker stands" for my dual-screen setup because they are also adjustable height, I place my screens on top of the flat platform they have.  There are also speaker arms that mount to the desk but I didn't want to do that with a folding table.

Dunno why you are bringing up HIV.  Is there media coverage in VZ about HIV suddenly or something like that?
