Aww yeah! I just found my great-grandparents' names on the marriage indexes (indicies) from Alberta, Canada. I am *so* going for this.
This has given me a tangible short-term goal and a much needed jolt of positivity. Thanks, Canada!

I'm using my defective brain to lift my injured hand to hold a heavy stylus and swirl it around on a tiny device that simulates paper to make mid comics.
I'm losing at comics!!! Aw yeah.

90+ minutes fussing with a single drawing of a character because I forgot how to draw them after three months of resting my hand from tendonitis.
Now I have to take a 30 minute break so the tendonitis doesn't come back. One character drawn. Eight more to go. Ugh.

Okay. It stops at 30, not 20. And as long as I never check my notifications again, it'll stay at 30 and I can stop being agitated by the terrifiying notifications number always changing.

The current iteration of my webcomic has been going for nearly 12 years, though officially I've been making comics and posting them on the internet for 26 years.
Which is half my lifetime.
