Covid then RSV…

I apologize profusely, I really am not the type to update the rest of the world when things happen in my life. I caught Covid, which knocked me back a few weeks. Just when I was feeling better, my kids brought home RSV. It’s been back to back illnesses running rampant, muscle aches and brain fog is why I’m running behind.

I’ve got some posts I’m working on posting in the coming days. Going to direct traffic this way too if the energy allows for it.

There is grief with learning to take things easy, with parenting myself while sick. I used to “power through” and would feel tenfold worse for it. It’s taken decades for me to learn, but there is solid benefits to proper rest. There is nothing to be gained from falling asleep at the drawing table. In fact, I’m liable to make brutal mistakes whilst so exhausted. (I have indeed made many costly mistakes over the years.)

Is the photo image for this post, relevant? It is, I painted the art. It’s of my earliest memories, of my favorite house as a child. My imagination was most vivid in those days. In my sickness, I’ve been travelling down nostalgic memories. Trying to avoid the pitfalls of “wish I had done this differently”. Acknowledging the grief of my choices, all the same.
