February has been another tough month! Half way into Jan the flare receded from my left hand and 100% moved/inflamed on my right hand. (Dominant/drawing hand) I was hoping with enough rest and gentle exercises I would be able to push on through. At some times I was able too with enough effort, but it was still too much of a struggle to get the quality of work I wanted to give my customers. So I just wanted to let you all know I've had to slow down and take a lot more time than I expected to cope with my physical limitations. It's now March 1st and my right hand has very little function and any amount of pressure causes it extreme pain. I've been rather moody and upset about it IRL and not socializing online due to the pain.

Still working on getting it under control, planning a daily hot water epsom salt soak once a day to really rip out any swelling or inflammation that keeps building back up in 12 hour shifts. But I'll keep poking at my tablet and keep trying to doodle when I feel confident in holding a pen.

Other news of Feb, our friend Cinnri will be moving this year to live with their girlfrieeeennnndddd!!! I'm so happy for them, super sad to be left on my own locally, but super happy to see my friends making and hitting goals~<3 They will be moving cross-states this late spring/early summer and until they leave they decided to pack up their place and quarantine with Prov and I! So we'll be temporarily living together for a few months before they have to go! ;w; I'm so excited to have all this social time and help around the house. It's never been cleaner and we had our first home cooked meal in months with the kitchen all clean! It's been a very huge moral booster for us all, though a bit overwhelming. It's super weird to have people around after being "alone" for a year!

We plan to prepack some patron packages for the months that cinnri's home office is packed up. So there shouldn't be any issues with merch testers getting rewards each month~

Trying to think of what other updates we have hm hm.... No vaccines for the Clover Crew yet. Sadly disabled people don't count for the 65+ age rule for people in WI. But I hear we might be able to get our shots right before it goes live for the general public, fingers crossed?? We're keeping our ears up and open for any updates local to us.

I made more art in feb than I expected!! But also feels like I didnt get to make nearly as much as I wanted cause of my hand issues not recovering. :c Feels a lot like having a health bar, but I only ever get up to 20 hp out of 100 before it wears right down again into the negatives. I sure hope the regular soaks help give me back some range of motion soon! I miss drawing a lot right now!!
