OSC Model 2020 by OneSmartChickenWe're doing okay, ftr. We've had a couple scares--Mum's high risk and I'm...definitely not low risk, though I'd need more info on what my lungs are looking like nowadays and if I've finally gotten over mono to know just how high or low my personal risk is. Judging by the pain in my lungs every time I get even the littlest cold though, chances are I'm up there. Plus I had mono for over a year, and might yet still technically have it, so y'know. Fun!

Which, for anyone curious, yeah my health is a real damn disaster. Turns out I'm trying to grind my teeth outta my damn head too, thanks anxiety! So if you're wondering why I frequently don't reply to comments--it's the anxiety! I love you. But I fear you. lmao

I'm actually typing this on my computer right now which is genuinely kinda exciting lmao. I don't have wifi still, not even my neighbor's to steal like I used to for a long time. But I DO have a lil bit of hotspot on my phone! So every now and then I indulge and throw internet on my tablet or DS or pc. I'm honestly pretty okay with it at this point but man it's nice to type on a keyboard.

Technically I have a tiny bluetooth keyboard for my tablet (which is just a little amazon one lmao don't get excited) and maybe I could convince my phone to use it?? but it's literally worse than just swype lmao.

Heeeh what else. Uh. Update on the last year I guess? I had surgery removing...a bunch of teeth tbh. Mono+teeth grinding+no dental care? No bueno. So I had two impacted wisdoms and my jaw bone was infected, so I had to have a picc line and get antibiotics through that a couple times a day. Which was great. Then a few months after that, our roommate of ten years!! decided to run off to do drugs with a hooker. Literally!!!! But first he stole like $3000 from us over a period of like two-ish months before we were really like. Okay no. We even let the bitch stay in the apt for a couple weeks cause the roommate claimed she was his cousin. Ha! Haha! So now it's just mum and me and we're not great but we're getting by. Figuring stuff out.

Our current difficulty is a lack of vehicle combined with our poor health and the pandemic, so we gotta try having groceries delivered. Which we had been doing like once a month before but now with the pandemic it's hard to even do that. SIGH.

But it's alright. We're stressed, and things are pretty ugh. But we'll get by.

The cats are doing well. We've just got Kitten Kitten and Mutant now. I'll have some update pics of them at some point lmao. I dyed my hair yet again. Opened commissions. I'm enjoying my phone art style more and more, feeling more inspired lately than I have in a long time, even made a couple silly little comics so like, if you wanna commission a little 4-ish panel comic now's the time lmao cause I'm not big on comics normally but I'm in a Mood!

Oh my birthday's coming up! The 16th of April, I'll be...old!! lmao I'm hoping to have some sushi for the occasion. Might have it tomorrow instead of waiting cause I deserve nice things lol.

Anyway. That's things! I doubt anyone did more than skim this, if that, and that's fine. I'm lowkey using this just to make sure my typing's still up to par. It sure is! I don't love this keyboard, I'm a little too likely to accidentally hit an extra key with my nails, which aren't even that long, but I'm still a super fast typer tbh. I should be able to make money off this lmao considering how many people are like WOW SO FAST! even like. Fellow millennials. Funny I always figured fast typing was just the new norm but?? I dunno lmao. ANYWAY. Things are okay. I hope you're doing well too. I hope you're enjoying seeing from me like once a month lmao, after my like. Five year hiatus or wtf ever lololol. Tell your friends my comms are open, wash your hands, wear a mask, don't get close to strangers, take up a new hobby, I love all of you, stay safe!!

Hey sup bruh

I just kinda realized I haven't posted one've these in like. 6 years? Anyway. I like giving little life updates. Uh.


I'll be honest everything pretty much sucks right now. Our tentative long term goal is moving to follow my brother and sister-in-law because they're kinda the only family Mum and I have left, except one uncle nearby and another in Ohio. It'll be a big move for us, and I'm simultaneously scared and excited. New place, close to my bro, etc etc. But also I've only left Florida even for vacation like--3 times in the last 10 years. And I have a...a thing about the ocean. And not being close to it sounds awful. So that's a thing.


But our short term goalis literally just...survival.


Oh heck you DA, I can't even see what I'm writing now on mobile. Ugh. I'm gonna try to make the cover a pic of my cats--or maybe just one of them, I can't remember if I have any good pics of them together on my phone...I think I had more to say but I don't like typing where I can't see so. That's what's up! Life is Surviving right now, but I've got cats. Also my sinuses are so bad y'all. You'd think after almost dying from an infected wisdom tooth I'd have had enough face pain for the year but here we are.


Sorry this is very whiny ahaaaa.

I'm Still Alive

Just..antisocial. All my social skills keep getting used up IRL and by the time I settle in on the internet I'm tired of interactions. And I'm just generally very. Blah. I haven't even checked my dashboard for a week. >< Rawrgh. Anyway. Alive and. Well-ish. A bit active on some sites, dead on most, but still kicking around. Trying to art more and stuff. Still not getting much done which sucks.

Eventually I'll actually post things on here. I'm just. Well. Really really antisocial and shit right now.
I spent all december pretty much being sick, with a ridiculous fever that peaked on Christmas(I spent like three days pretty much curled up under the covers and slept through most of christmas). My oldest cat got sick on the 24th--which meant we couldn't take him to the vet for three days afterwards. On the 1st my laptop's charge cord got broken and didn't get replaced for over a week--and on the second, we took Shadow, my nearly 18-year-old cat, the last pet from my childhood, to the vet and had him put down. We're still not sure what was wrong; the results for the tests we'd had done hadn't even come back by then, but he was old, and he was very, very sick. So without my computer, I just sort of cried on and off for a week and texted back and forth with Nanny.
And...well. Even without that I'm just...stressed and shitty. My migraines aren't quite so bad as they were for the last update thingy but. Yep. I have been drawing stuff so I'll probably post some stuff later. Probably.
I'm just not that invested in DA anymore I guess. ^'^
Auch.
Anyway. Yep. Stuff's happened.

The best news I have right now is--we're trying to clean everything up, and get new furniture(and/or possibly move) and I'm thinking of getting a dove(or a pair) once we've got that all sorted out. Also our kitten has been with us for over a year now! And during that year she's gone through so many names and somehow sort of wound up with the full name of Horrid Little Mutant Freak. We're getting her a new tag at some point with just Mutant on it. xD I don't even know how that wound up as her name, it wasn't my intention--it's just what I've wound up calling her. We also call her Monster and Little Man still, and Mum likes to call her Mouth. She's spoiled utterly rotten. She misses her "daddy", and has been trying to cuddle with Kitten Kitten for weeks now, which he's getting really tired of. It's adorable and sort of depressing but oh well.

So lots of stuff going on. And a lot of laziness and a persistent inability to focus on anything and just general bullshit. My dad finally gave me my truck(a 69 chevy) and he's a bit persistently trying to see me which is a bit shitty. And I'm concerned with Kitten Kitten's health since I think he has allergies. And A BIG LONG LIST OF OTHER SHIT WHOO.
