Had bloods taken (early morning appointment, so it emerged at a rather leisurely pace).
Need a new appointment as, apparently, not enough for lab to analyse.
FFS!

Here is the gift of being a comic artist, if you’re lucky every single day you get to make something that didn’t exist before and that harms no one and adds something good to the world. Even if no one wants it.
