In which Arielle is done with being sick, tired, and depressed...but those three conditions seem to have sunk their claws in. I feel like I've been sick for so long. Basically, since I moved into my new place. Even as I sit writing this...my nose feels mildly congested and my throat feels scratchy. It's exhausting and painful being sick back to back to back. Worst of all I have no motivation, possibly as a side effect of being so sick, possibly due to depression. Either

In which Arielle comes back after a long time, but not sure she's "all there". For her, it had been a chaotic and depressing end to 2025, followed by an even more chaotic period of change in the beginning of the new year, 2026. She moved away from the condo she had lived in with Bowie his whole life, and was now somewhere bigger and nicer, but the memories of Bowie running across the floor and his little toe clacks didn't come with her - a devastating loss.

In which Arielle decides to focus on a world building project. In truth it had begun long ago, little bits and pieces, at least 3 or 4 Arctic creatures and at least one creature from a mangrove like swamp. But this should be a little more extensive.

In which the last two weeks seemed devoted to doctors and appointments, which always gets Arielle's goats. Her medications have been changed, and she is trying very hard to fall into the schedule she's set up for herself with mixed results. Arielle didn't finish OC_Tober, but will be intermittently working on drawings unfinished from that. She also has been enjoying the Mini Jams that have been starting to happen. Lastly, she is starting a fairly large-scale worldbuilding

In which Arielle isn't happy with the past two weeks output of work. Life outside of Game Gen is chaotic again, as support begins to be an issue once more (as if it ever won't be), and there were many Doctor's visits (with way more to come in the near future). Arielle is beginning to realize.... maybe she does care that no one in her family cares about her work...in her entire existence. This was a rough week.... and to be honest.... There's too much to go over...we would b
