Tendonitis, Moving(???) by Eskiworks

Sorry I haven't been online much lately everyone, and not streaming much at all. I have been combating a flare up of tendonitis in my drawing arm and taking it easy to allow it to heal. I slept on it funny one night and woke up in a lot of pain, but I'm feeling better now! And don't worry, I take good care of it by icing, taking adequate breaks (as evidenced by my lack of streaming/working), and I do stretches and exercises. It just sometimes flares up like this, I'm ok. <3

My boyfriend and I are still looking for a place to rent that is not a piece of junk, but also not ultra far away from family and friends. We are running into a lot of roadblocks... Many places that don't allow pets (giving up Loaf is NOT an option), places that never call us back, someone gets to the rental before us, et cetera. We don't have much time before we have to give our 30 day notice to our current place, so if I can't find someone before July 1st I'll just have to renew here to be safe. I am going to be looking for non-commission ways to fill that income gap if that does happen, like finally relenting to Patreon perhaps. Here was my past spiel about Patreon plans, for the curious - http://eskiworks.tumblr.com/post/105628137158 I currently have a RedBubble account, and an Etsy page where I sell my prints and those might help some if they picked up!

Anyway, we'll see how that turns out... We're still hunting, I have a few days left! I'm working my way up to a stream session or two this week too, don't want to overstress the arm. Hopefully soon!

    I will do what I can to help within the next couple of days when I have a little time to look at your stores. I wish you the best of luck.

    whispers Try Nuvango... They pay 20% on every product with your design that sells. They've been very good to me since I joined last year. =)

    One of the best things you can do to help with the flare ups is to sleep in a brace (mild to more structured, depending on your preference, of course) to allow for the most useful rest. As well as helping to reduce the "sleeping badly on" times. Speaking from medical info (Dr's, specialists, nurses) and personal experience.

    Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear about your tendonitis and your living situation both. Gotta second Reddeadrabbit's recommendation; my mom had tendonitis pretty bad (flute player) and sleeping with a brace on helped loads.
    Hang in there.

    Keep us posted on finding the new place.
