Where have you been, badbastion? a person might inquire.

Well, that's an interesting question, badbastion might answer.

I've been packing up for a move, bleh. I've also recently gotten health insurance and have been going to a lot of appointments, and each time there's something new that they want to "keep an eye on" or put me on meds for. I've been exercising a lot (got a gym membership through insurance, and up to walking 5 miles a day, which is a big accomplishment for someone who'd prefer to sit and draw for most of the day, so I'm proud of myself there *pats self on back*) and learning how to eat better to try to take control of some problems. Diabetes? High BP? An irregularity, you say? So that's been pretty exhausting. I'm okay. Got another appointment today though, and I'm not looking forward to the little scrape part, iykwim.

I've also been arting! I've finished my art for Wincest Big Bang and spn_reversebang, yay! And I've done a little more, though I don't like posting art when I know I won't be able to answer comments. I might post it anyway and just leave an A/N about it, idk.

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR THE REVERSEBANG CLAIMS???

A/N: I may not be around to answer comments on this post, lol.

I'm signed up for my first reversebang!! :-)

Appointments are a pain but good. *winces over the scrapey part* Ideally, you'll feel better as things get reined in and suggestions are implemented. That's totally awesome on the walking!! Bet you find it a good time to muse over projects and do designing in your head.

*hugs*

You are missed!!

I'm counting down to reversebang claims. This will be my third year writing for it and I looooove it.

I have an art piece for the RBB that I'm excited about. I really hope I get a good author I can work with. This piece of art is too important to me to end up with a newbie writer. I know that sounds bad, but I need a good experience with it, y'know?

Good luck on your health issues, bb. I've missed you.

You'll get better :). I'm looking forward to your art!

Sounds like you're making fabulous forward progress, bb! In fact, you're inspiring me to take a nice long power walk today. So glad you're feeling so much more upbeat! Can't wait to see the juicy artings. Did the Wincest one already post? Don't think I'm following that comm.

Thanks!

Nope, we're posting on the 28th :)

I'm so looking forward to seeing all the RBB art tomorrow!

Blegh to your health issues and to moving - though it sounds like the health insurance is paying off and the move will be over soon I suppose...

It'll be good to have you back!

Wow, congratulations on taking on multiple health issues! I've been trying to do healthy things like yoga, but honestly finding a coffee shop I love and trekking to it every morning might be the best way to get myself to exercise.

Yay for insurance, that's great. I can imagine that it sucks if everything not immediately life-threatening accumulated for some time. And man, you get a gym membership, that's awesome! I find that regular exercise helps with keeping a fresh head for drawing :)

I'm soooo stoked for RBB, can't wait to see the prompts!

Glad to hear you're getting things done and working towards feeling better. I know what it's like to deal with multiple issues and feel like you're getting nowhere with them. And yay! for arting! Can't wait to see what you did for reversebang! It's my first year signing up and I went crazy and submitted two prompts, so I'm super nervous about claims but SO EXCITED TOO.

Well done on the walking and good luck with the move; I find that's usually also great exercise;) I hope you get a the healthissues sorted. May the Reverse Bang be a lovely distraction from all the grown up, real life stuff. Ever since submitting my pieces I've been wondering what I was thinking. Can't wait to discover what everybody made! So YES, I'm excited, BRING IT ON \o/

Glad to hear you are making progress with your health, keep it up!

I'm ridiculously excited about R-Bang claims, but I am REALLY nervous about it... I haven't quite figured out the actual time yet, and I am on an out-of-town trip with two girlfriends who DO NOT know about my little slash hobby, and would never understand... I *think* I'm going to get home in time to do the claim in the privacy of my own home, but what if I mess up and miss it??? ACCCKKKKK!!!

:)

I am impressed with that 5 miles a day. I have been really bad with gym membership for a while, mostly since I had a car accident and decided that I was too stressed out to go for... several months. Getting back in the habit of keeping up with healthy stuff has been difficult, so I'm trying to get back to that place where I stopped justifying everything in my head.

But good look on moving, and I'm really really glad you're taking care of yourself. <3

Wait, insurance companies provide discounts on gym memberships? :OOOOO I should check that out! I haven't been to the gym in such a long time because I hate spending money. Yet actually going to the gym was such a nice motivational tool for me.

Kudos to you for starting an exercise regimen! :>

Moving is a total horror. /shudder But man, YAY for health insurance! I hope the flood of doc's appointments will cease at some point, though. XD Another yay for the workouts, that's incredible!

5 miles a day is excellent! To get me inspired to do my walking as I should, I look forward to the bling (medals) I get at 5ks and 10ks. Bling makes it worth it for me, sounds silly but it works. So whatever is working to get you onboard, keep on!

Keep taking care of you, that's important!

*scurries to go find art* <33
