Commentary: I've actually been really sick as of late, and having to work due to probationary obligations (to the job, not to the law) makes it mandatory I show up on the work floor no matter what. Days go by that I wake up dizzy and tired in the morning, only to go right to bed after coming home after a full days work. I don't want to gripe or preach to the choir what anyone else might already be feeling right now, but it really sucks. Feels like a massive waste of time, honestly. Four hours put to rest every day that I could have been using to get things done around the house, or in more creative pursuits like artistry and writing. Instead, it's used up in sleep, just so I can wake up the following morning alert and awake enough to weather a long commute and a days work, and hopefully make it back just awake enough to make it home. It's all I can do right now to sustain myself, honestly.

I'd like to say the worst is over, but it feels like the worst comes back in waking up the day after I say it. Caffeine provided graciously from a strong brew of coffee has been the one catch-all to improve my mood and sense of well-being, but its a remedy I use reservedly for the obvious reasons. As for the piece itself, I managed to illustrate and color this during what little time I have during lunch-break over the course of the week, and finished it up sometime yesterday. A few minutes here and there to sum up how I've been feeling as of late. Partly an excuse as to why there hasn't been anything in the way of submissions posted for a while.

Hope I get better soon...
