I've been dithering over whether to post in "welcome" board or this one. I swear there used to be a big ol' "what have you been doing lately" thread which would surely be the best place rather than making an entirely new thread, but I can't find it.
I don't recall why I initially stopped posting here, but a lot of bad stuff happened in my life and I had so much going on that I forgot the forum existed. Then when things settled down a bit, I wanted to go back to this place but couldn't remember what it was called! Do you know how hard it is to find a web address when you don't know what website you're looking for?
My life right now: I'm 24-7 live-in carer for a disabled parent (the nice one). The nasty/abusive one is in a nursing home until May 2023 when there will be a reassessment. Caring for Nice Parent, even though they're nice, is hard work and sad work and sometimes disgusting work and my country is falling apart at the seams and the future looks BAD but personally I'm feeling like things are... kinda ok. Better than they used to be actually because domestic abuser parent is not here which means quality of living has gone up even if we can't afford to fix things that break or eat the fancy foods we used to eat!
I tried to do Inktober again but only made it through ten days as I just did not care at this time and the lack of passion was obvious. Got a few nice illustrations out of the ten days though.
After Inktober fail I stopped doing art entirely for a while but am starting to pick things up again a bit now and hope to get more of a steady routine going if things start to finally freakin' settle down for me. I have acrylic paintings and ink drawings/sketches and alcohol marker ATCs to share once some stuff is scanned/photographed.
thank you for reading my blog post, please accept these seagulls as a token of my esteem
