A year later:

For those of you who thought I'd died, nope I was just ninjaing it for a year.  This wasn't a planned hiatus, more of a funk which I'm coming out of now, it seems.
    I haven't done anything particularly exciting, but my hypo-thyroidism has been very difficult, especially for the past year.  It's a condition where my thyroid doesn't tell my other hormones to produce enough of well, anything.  My medication has different effects for people, but for me, it hasn't done a world of good- despite my proactive approach to really focus on my health and eat better and attempt to exercise regularly.  I have been riddled with migraines and mood swings, not to mention the horror it has done to my already terrible menstrual cycle.
    In other words, I've been sick.  And I won't get better, this is a lifelong thing that I will have until the day I die.  But despite that grim outlook, I'm hopeful.  I recently got a job, and I am looking to move to Colorado, where my family is.  Being so isolated has made me lonely and I think that my family will be a wonderful support system.
    Also my beloved cat and faithful trouble-maker fell ill a about two months ago, and during that time I was so focused on getting her better I neglected my own health.  She wasn't given a good prognosis, but she kicked ass and is now, I'm pleased to say, almost back to being her usual self.  Along with that, my brother moved out of our place about seven months ago, and we haven't been separated since birth.  So I've been busy trying to coordinate when I'll move back with him.
    I feel very guilty about not uploading a single piece of art, because I have been drawing and writing, and whatnot.  So I will be uploading some very cool things soon.  I've been trying to improve my style, and even though I haven't done as much as I have in the past, I am trying to focus on drawing, writing, my health, and enjoying life as much as I can.
