Updates!

Just a quick update, for the general situation.
First my amazing bff PadfootsPuppy has opened commissions on my behalf to try and help us avoid homelessness next month and just helping in general! She does chibis and busts comfortably, but if you've got ideas it doesn't hurt to ask her! See that post here: cosmicalarune.tumblr.com/post/…

Second, the forced windows update on 3/22 has all but completely trashed my laptop. Graphical glitches, failed programs, lack of internet, sound glitches... I can't even have wordpad and sai open at the same time without the mouse trailing black boxes. It's really acting like it has no memory, but it never goes over 50~60%. Tried a bunch of things (everything from resetting winsock to uninstalling drivers and removing visual effects). Nothing helps at all. This made me pretty sure it really was the update even though it didn't start acting up until the 24th, two days AFTER the update. But I've looked it up and there's quite a number of people having this issue too... so going to have to wait on a patch for that since I can't do a system restore and they DONT ALLOW YOU TO UNINSTALL IT. So I even went in and manually disabled the updater service because this is broken (and on home edition of windows 10 they don't readily allow you to deny auto-updates, only the restart after they're installed).

Third, and last for this post today - my arm is basically, for lack of better words, fucked. The damage has even spread down my ribs and back shoulder blade area... and I've been resting aside from physical therapy. I haven't been ABLE to draw at all this week thanks to the computer, so I can't even be stubborn and work through the pain. ;__; Getting a different doctor because my primary just doesn't give a crap and is just letting it keep getting worse. So, my physical therapist has recommended I go elsewhere, and I shall do just that... doctor is sure that my rotator cuff is torn up, as well as the front tendon, and my bicep muscles... but nah, "just take ibuprofen and go to PT, it'll be better maybe. Sorry you can't sleep in a bed or even sit back against a chair because of pain, take more ibuprofen and maybe that'll be enough... Oh you get migraines and nosebleeds from it? Well here's a tissue and just turn the lights off..." =_= I mean, anyone who knows me knows how resistant I am to taking medications until I'm faced with the fact that it will get worse if I don't. I always want to try and tough out the pain or just deal with it, but things like this? Not helping me in my learning to ask for help........ *sigh*



Let's see if this will actually post. *fingers crossed* [It kept crashing when I was trying to send notes ugh ugh ugghhh]
