How's it goin' guys.
I'm still working on chapter 6 of Bury Everyone. It's been slower than I'd like for several reasons. I had to do more tests in October and as I write this I'm attempting to correct my sleep schedule which sometimes can take up to a week of failed all-nighters. No, Americans. You need a prescription to get melatonin in Australia. I've seriously tried everything I can think of. Going to bed earlier, breathing exercises, over the counter bullshit that was probably never going to work, best I can do is 3 hours. Unfortunately it's a PTSD thing so I probably won't sleep consistently ever unless I bite the bullet or become an alcoholic.
I should have a part 1 finished before the end of November. It's hard to believe I haven't drawn a proper fight scene since chapter 1.
As for the MS stuff. Still no updates. They said I'd get blood test results "in November" but I wasn't given a specific date. Still no new symptoms (thank god). My mum used to be a nurse and has been up my ass about this whole thing. Every time I see her she asks the same questions. The only thing that's changed is I'm on vitamin supplements. I've already had the talk with her that I'm being asked enough questions by doctors and can I PLEASE be left alone at home. She literally just said no. As fucked up as it sounds I think she gets some vicarious excitement from having a son with a potentially life changing condition.
As all this is happening, I'm celebrating over a year of unemployment, a fight that only gets harder the more acronyms I collect for the "do you have any medical conditions" bit of the recruitment process. With all of this in mind, I think I've earned a bit of a "WHY GOD??!!" but I'm not religious. Maybe things would've turned out better if I drew porn.
Hope you're looking forward to the part where the sad redhead fights that green bitch!

This is going to sound like overstepping (and it probably is) but you're just going to have to trust me that it's in good faith.
I'm sure you've heard it before but ride the doctors ass about getting your results back. For you it's everything but for the people working in the lab it's just Tuesday. I know that's easier said than done.
I always enjoy seeing your art pop up on my feed.
I wish I could articulate my thoughts better, and I hope this didn't come off as pitying or self serving just know we're all rooting for you.
