And so another month passes.
I feel like this month has blown by yet without much fanfare. I’ve had the whole week off of work and yet I spent it at rest whenever I could. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at present over the amount of e-mails I’ve got to send off. A lot of them are medical-related, but I hadn’t the energy to address them.
Actually, since I had been feeling down and drained the other month, I had a blood draw a few weeks ago at the new medical centre I registered to. I had my B12, vitamin D, iron and a few other levels looked at. The medical centre didn’t get back yet. I’d expected a prompt text… I am already taking a few supplemental tablets just now… iron and vitamin D. I already knew they were low from my blood draw to check my hormonal levels and such last December. The routine of taking any supplements has been a bit of a pain to keep up with. The taking of any tablets used to stress me out, thinking it’d all be too hard on my liver. Knowing how healthy my liver is as I write this makes all that past fretting all the more embarrassing.
The amount of my headspace that’s been taken up by anything medical-related as of late is a bit much. I can say that I’m a little more happy to know that i’m a little further on in getting a big surgery to correct my bone defects.
This month I was a bit more active in posting some personal artwork on my primary Tumblr blog. One of my “pieces” (some experimental studies) got a lot of traction due to the subject (borzoi) and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I didn’t put as much effort into the drawings as the risograph prints I scanned to share more eagerly. Yeah, just another reminder that I’ve no control over what artwork others will resonate with. I’ll try to share some more art pieces in the coming months. I’ve no real pressure to post anything though, because Tumblr isn’t a blog one generally monazites, and I’m not looking for any para-social relations over my own work. (I REALLY mean that last part. That’d be lame.)
It’s been so nice to see the blue sky after nothing but seemingly-endless rain. I’m so thankful that I’ve been able to tend to small plants and a new tree - a silver birch - in preparation to warmer and sunnier weather I hope to feel in spring.
C’mon spring. Let’s meet again soon!
