I feel like a lot has happened since September started. o.O I don't know where to start, so here's a breakdown of everything so far~
School started for my husband again.
My children and I got sick with colds and sinus infections (we're better, but it wasn't fun!)
I got a new and affordable tablet!! You can get other brands with all the same specs as Wacom, apparently. Still getting used to my new tablet since it literally has twice the levels of sensitivity as my 7-year old Wacom.
A friend of mine passed away suddenly, leaving behind his wife and two young children. So heartbreaking! I had known him and his wife for over 5 years.
I've discovered I'm lactose intolerant, which had been the primary cause of many health issues I've had this year besides the low iron. Feeling a lot better! No more intestinal pain. :3
Directly related to the previous, now that I've got a proper diet under control and know how I react to what I'm eating, I'm finally losing the baby weight from my pregnancy again. I've lost 20 lbs since last month, making it 51 lbs down since December. 
One particular class my husband was taking was entirely too overwhelming (you know it's bad when the whole family gets stressed about it, lol!) and he had to withdraw from it.
Had a huge financial scare with a sudden bill requiring the scholarship to be paid back from withdrawing from said class. After lots of discussing and tears with the financial aid office, they've made adjustments to the requirements for his scholarship. As long as he take 16 credits/hours next semester, instead of just 14, we won't have to pay anything back. THANK GOODNESS.
Wendy is learning to walk at only 10 months old! And she can say "yeah!", which is so adorable. 
Been trying to play Hyrule Warriors when I can. Amazing game for sure! 
Can it be November yet? XD; It's just been so crazy with all that stuff going on. Sometimes I sit there wondering what else might hit us before the month is over lol. But I think everything is starting to slow down and the stress levels are down. Hope you're all doing well!! Thanks for sticking around.

2024 Art Goals!
Ever sit down to write a post and then stop in your tracks because you have too many thoughts and you don't know how to write it all down? That's been me, all this month X'D I've wanted to share some goals I have for this year and keep getting stuck. So this will probably won't be a super long post lmao ~ My biggest art goal for this year is to finish art pieces that have been sitting unfinished for over a year. I have a lot of those, with some unfinished paintings even from 2021 ^^; ~ it's just time to get things done and so far I'm making progress at least! ~ Last year I didn't finish any paintings at all. To make up for the lack of painted works, I hope to finish at least one painting every month of 2024. So far I have several art pieces that are close to the final stages, so I think it's a workable goal ^^ ~ Throughout this year I'll be spending more time focusing on anatomy and improving how I paint light reflecting on shapes, so things like hands look even more accurate than
Bunch of Updates!
Hey guys! I have a few things to update y'all on so I figured I'd put up a journal instead of a status this time around :3 :bulletblue: My big set of Mario princess adopts that I started this summer are finally going up for sale this month. It's gonna be hard to let them go because I adore each and every one of them ;v; I hope you all look forward to seeing them :heart: :bulletblue: Twilitober might be over now, but I plan to continue with the prompts over time as I had a lot planned. I ended up getting sick partway through October and then my muse ran off to vampires instead XD :bulletblue: I've opened a new rito fangroup! The previous one I was co-founder of and collaborated in its creation, was closed without my consent and without warning. To avoid there not being an active place for people to share rito OCs etc, I made a new group by request. It has dA's new group layout so it's been taking a hot minute to figure out, but nonetheless you can join and re-share your rito
Health Updates
I first wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes on my last post, as well as in DMs and otherwise. It's meant a lot to me that everyone's been so patient during this challenging time. I haven't gone into a lot of detail with what's happened this year, but the stress of it all has brought my health to its knees, so to speak. Since August of last year I've had this rare skin condition creep up on my legs, and two skin biopsies this summer finally identified it as pretibial myxedema. Because that's a condition related to the thyroid and with an idea of where to look more thoroughly, tests upon tests later, my doctors have diagnosed me with Hashimotos Thyroiditis. This is the reason why I've been so incredibly fatigued, with it getting worse over time. I'm at the stage where my thyroid is overreacting to everything, but then at some point it'll crash and continue to attack itself. My immune system is fragile and I rarely leave the house lately to avoid getting sick because it hits me
Medical Hiatus
I made a post like this on toyhouse and something small on twitter I think, but I needed to put something here too. I'm on hiatus currently due to my health. Finally after over a year of trying, I'm getting answers for why I've been so sick and fatigued. However, the answers I'm getting so far are stressful as it's more intense than I expected. Over the next 3 weeks I have 7 different appointments, with more to be added after them. I also fell days ago and my leg bent outward/sideways badly. Currently using a knee-brace and hoping it's only a sprain. My doctor told me if it's not healed in a certain time that I'll have to get imaging done to see what the damage is. I'm annoyed with that part for sure. It's not helpful to be limping around right now ^^;; When I have more answers from the upcoming tests and appointments, I'll update you all again. It's not ideal to go through all this over the course of my birthday on the 31st, but that's just how things happened I guess. Health aside

Man, that's a lot of stuff in just one month. So sorry about that friend of yours.. you have my condolences.
Glad the sickness stuff and the financial problems are getting better.
And is Hyrule Warriors good? I've been debating on whether to buy that one or WW HD.
