Ooooooop. So I completely dropped out of the last challenge. There are a few posts I'll go back to reply to, but for the most part life got overwhelmingly busy to the point where I wasn't able to keep up with my thread, much less do art. And then DragonCon happened. It turns out that all I needed to feel like my pre-depression self again was DragonCon. The psychic damage caused by the last 2.5 years of COVID bullshit has been healed in less than a week of cosplaying, meeting old and new friends, partying, and shenanigans. My soul feels whole again. I even went to the gym twice during the con, which is 2 more times than I've gone during all the previous DragonCons I've gone to. But alas, even with attendance capped at 60k people and masks being required unless eating/drinking, the save to evade COVID had a high DC and I have not rolled successfully 🤧 So the first thing that will need to happen this challenge is a CON save vs. COVID, which will be at advantage because I got my 2nd booster like 2 weeks before the con. (In all seriousness, I was expecting the COVID symptoms to be much worse, so medical science and vaccines are a real MVP. I'm currently feeling sick, but it's more like a bad cold and not quite a flu, which is bearable but annoying. I have had way, WAY worse con crud than this before, so I'm optimistic I'll be over it in a few more days. I'm mostly worried about my mother, who I live with, and who will also likely get the corona. She had her 2nd booster recently too, though, so she'll probably be okay but WHAT IF THE WORST POSSIBLE CASE HAPPENED? Because that is how my brain operates.) I'll probably update this challenge title later, and also update goals.
