July 2023 Status Update
Hey everyone, finally back in my apartment for about a month now and I gotta say that things are already improving.

Aside from a brief but strong depressive period (which I guess was from me acclimating), I can definitely say that I'm feeling a lot better now and I'm slowly getting back on my feet. I guess the change of environment (or not having to look after elderly relatives 24/7) really did help. While I'm still not drawing as much as I should, I'm slowly trying to pick up the pace again.
While I haven't been able to book a doctor's appointment yet, at least I'm having less health issues now, I guess the water really was to blame for the majority of those. I still stick to a much less strict diet because certain foods still trigger a response, but at least I'm no longer in constant pain or having to resort to "hospital"-grade food.
Overall, things are pretty slow, but at least they're slow and calm now, which I definitely appreciate. Being able to admire summertime city for the first time in years or having small citylife conveniences is defintely something I really missed.
I will definitely need to announce commissions more formally since my expenses will likely go up now, but for now I'm just glad to finally able to chill.
