Updating! (late...)
🕑 Added 2017-04-24 22:12:13 +0000 UTC Hi!I kind of took my time this last couple of weeks and I wanted to give an update and explain a bit on things to let you know I'm not dead (or my projects). But first I want to apologize for skipping a week without updates, I know I said I was going to do it weekly... so, now the explanation.
Well, a couple of things happened that made working for me kind of hard. First and more important, I got a "health wake up call". I don't remember if I've mentioned this here but I was pretty much working all night and sleeping most of the day because sadly I don't live by myself and working on this stuff is a lot harder during the day as a result. Normally I don't mind because I actually prefer being awake at night but I got a construction site very close to my place and the noise just doesn't let me get good sleep. Also I've been eating very badly, take out and stuff like that, so I could have more time to work instead of going to the groceries store, cooking and all that. I ended getting pretty stressed up (I've never felt that kind of prolonged stress type in my life) and that made it harder to sleep. One day when trying to sleep I kind of... felt my heart? It didn't hurt or anything like that but it was a sensation I've never felt and, of course, that didn't help much with the stress. To this day I still don't know if there is actually something physical wrong with my heart or if it was something else (like just gas or the stress itself) because I couldn't get checked out by a doctor due to some problems I'm having with my health insurance. I'm still trying to sort that out so I can get that checked but while I'm in the dark about it I've concentrated on getting my shit together. Fixing my sleep cycle is still a work in progress and I'm eating a lot healthier, also I went out to talk with friends and played some videogames to release some stress. I don't want to exercise too much until I see a doctor but today I'm going to start at least walking more. All that has made getting a proper working schedule quite hard but as of now I think I'm feeling better and getting a grasp of how to handle it better. Not that I didn't do anything these past couple of weeks but it was a lot less than I wanted.
The stuff happening in Venezuela is the other thing that has made concentrating on work quite hard. Again, I don't remember if I've mentioned this but I'm Venezuelan. I'm not going to get too much into politics and details here (if you don't care you are just going to get annoyed and if you do you probably already know or are going to look it up anyway), but though I'm not living there anymore I still have family and friends doing so. Things have been pretty rough there lately and the only way to really know what's happening is through social media so yeah, I spent a lot of time surfing through it. Some stuff I read today made me realize it's going to end the same way it always ends there: not getting anything done (which pisses me off and the main reason I left).
Funny thing, as I'm writing this a 6.9 earthquake just happened. I'm already used to earthquakes (I'm living in Chile) but yeah, you do remain in alert mode and feeling the after effects for a bit xD.
Anyway, I hope I will be able to post a meatier update next week (and sorry for this too wordy one!), I do think I'm starting to get a better rythm and I'm excited about the things I'm working on right now. I'll leave here what I got so far of a drawing I'm making for a scene :)
