Yes I am alive, and I did have plans to make the only kinktober prompt I skipped into an YCH, once I had finished up a commission I had in line back then. (I do have a rough sketch I'd like to clean up first.)
I also wanted to make a few adopts with bigger character sheets, to showcase their personality and hobbies/occupation.

But life decided that I shouldn't have the capacity to work on art the rest of this year, midway through november I had caught a flu that took me 3+ weeks to get over.
I was finally feeling somewhat normal this week again, but got a high fever on thursday, with muscle pain, shivers and a return of all the nasty coughing and sniffing.
Took a quick test thursday and yesterday and yeah... I somehow managed to get the ''spicy flu'' directly after going through a normal flu.

It's my first time catching it and I'm mildly anxious because I have no comparison point (how does one know if they have a mild case, lol, I seem to not have a 'bad' case, yet I'm still scared of lasting effects it can have :'D).
So far it seem like I'm holding strong, high fever and muscle pain luckily only been an issue for about 24h, and I make sure to inhale herbal tea steam 3 times a day to prevent my airway from suffering as much as they did with the flu.

Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon, so I can tackle the projects I mentioned earlier. Until then I wish you guys happy holidays, try to stay healthy and I'll hope to see you again next year! =)
