Monthly Checkup #28: Grinding it Out

Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in with all of you.

So far, things are going okay with me. I'm managing to stay productive with commissions, but the only problem is there isn't much in the way of Patreon content. I know that. It's going to take some time and motivation to get something out for you to enjoy on here. More early access works, so I don't leave my non-patrons hanging. There will still be very special exclusive works, but I need to balance that out with non-paywalled content.

As for life? Well, I'm not getting as much exercise as I should and my sleep schedule is completely messed up. But my dental health saga continues with me finally receiving my permanent crown over the tooth that got the root canal! It's a molar. There is one more tooth that needs a root canal afterwards. I'm at least staying on top of my Vitamin D supplements, Krill Oil ( Omega-3 ) supplements, and drinking lots of water. I'm getting back on track with exercise slowly but surely.

Gaming? Never been better quite frankly with this new gaming PC I got earlier in 2024. I'm vowing to get good at League of Legends and get to a high rank. It's a lot of fun and quite frankly doesn't deserve its bad reputation, most of it coming from self-sabotage by the playerbase and the unfortunately inherent design of MOBAs. The game preys on you expecting too much from your teammates, which in turn makes the problem worse, and the game right now is pretty snowbally from a single mistake. But it's also an excellent test of patience, skill, and personal ability to improve. This can help me with other aspects of my life such as with art.

Art? Well, I'm in a weird state. I'm more than happy to do commissions, but not anything for myself or other personal projects. These things can even earn me money if I need money. But for some reason I'm struggling to want to draw more often. Drawing has unfortunately lost a certain magic or fun factor. There's nothing I can do about that. I'm just going to do my best!

Alright, I'll see you in the next Monthly Checkup! Keep pigging out and tipping those scales ~
