Update October 25th
Busy week at work and 2 busy weekends in a row. Today my brother called in a panic because his bathtub was leaking, but fortunately we contained the flood before it caused major damage. Last weekend I attended a wedding, partied into the wee hours of the morrow, and felt like a blob of pudding left in full sunlight during a heatstroke the day after
And so no comic's update this weekend
Things appear to be quieter all around this week, so I'll ink and color the sketches I have ready for th last page of Neverwinner Nights2. After that I'll tackle many projects I left aside, and revisit my beloved Azula-chan and sweet Tyzulaness that I have oh so missed
Cheerio!

Update October 8th
Hand doing much better, pain gone down to level of annoyance
For years I've been mis-diagnosed by morondocs gallore for it was not tendinitis but an inflammatory condition, which incidentally damages joints.
I plan to resume work on the Neverwinner Nights2 comic this weekend
Best of all, I do not have to abstain from coffee
Let's be grateful for small blessings, although coffee is a pretty big one
Thanks to all for the support

last friday severe pain hit my right wrist
can't open or close my right hand or hold anything
writing with left hand and placed mouse on left side
right hand in a restraint and it hurts, a lot
am right handed as the fates would have it - stupid fates
went to emergency room, waited 8 hours, met with morondoc less than 2 minutes
morondoc prescribed enough painkillers I could become a semi-successful pusher, if I did not need the painkillers so badly
painkillers allowed me first good sleep after 3 nights of barely sleeping
morondoc would not send me for tests or to see a specialist, told me to go see my regular doctor who is on vacation, I insisted and morondoc got upset and stormed out of room
I hope morondoc gets nosehairs' chronic pain so he gets a taste of his own medicine - get it? doctor and own med, lol! I'm so clever
I am also stoned with painkillers, so pls bear with me
my boss used his contacts to get me to see a doctor tomorrow, and assured me he will get my ass back to work asap
my boss is a good man and I like him lots and lots because he cares about people - unlike morondoc
I will not reply to messages for a while - really annoying to type with left hand, plus meds screw up with my cerebral neocortex
comic updates will resume as soon as possible
fare well for now

My July 2020 COVIDiots
For context I have a Master's degree in Science (MsC), with focus on Microbiology, and my thesis was on atypical viruses of the Herspesviridae family. I have worked most of my life as a research assistant and have extensive training in laboratory safety. I was in charge of Biohazardous material, Radioactive safety, and Hazardous chemicals before being assigned to a support position (way more chill work!). I am neither a Medical Doctor, nor an Epidemiologist, nor a Virologist, and I don't claim to know all there is to know about Lab Safety, much less claim I am a COVID-19 pundit. However I think I have learned a few things from my studies, training, and experience. And yet my relatives, who have no scientific training, are convinced they are specialists regarding the COVID-19 coronavirus. As an example, our house has a second small bathroom in the basement, which is accessible from a basement door. It is easy to disinfect and we change the towels after guests from a same house use it.
Pandemic and Sketches
I was asked why I am uploading drawings made with pencil the traditional way, and not polishing them digitally. There are many reasons, but mainly I have been doing my best to cut on time spent on the computer, as staying inactive for hours on end is bad for both body and mind. I made my vegetable garden bigger and it needs daily care like watering, weeding, fertilizing, and keeping the cat from using it as a toilet. Plus I sit outside when I draw to get some fresh air, and keep and eye out on the garden, lest the cat uses it as a toilet. I am working two days a week at the lab, doing support work like making sure equipment is clean and running properly, glassware is clean and in good condition, there is no piling up of biohazardous waste (retrieval, sterilization, and discarding), and helping out with deliveries since the delivery guys can't enter the premises. So basically I am doing housework, washing the dishes, taking the garbage out, and carrying stuff around. I think the
Quantined
My wife and I came back from vacation to Canada on March 17th.
Both our bosses put us on a 14-days quarantine, which means we're in house-arrest until March 30th.
Louve, our rescue cat, is really happy for the company :meow: It's been now a year she moved in.
Day 6 of quarantine: All good, no suspicious symptoms so far, but in 95% of contaminated people they appear in 11 days and in 99% in 14 days.
If you're reading this wash your hands often and be safe :nod:
Stay healthy!

Devious Journal Entry
Some quick news:
Akasha, our 15 years-old cat, passed away from old age 2 weeks ago. We were treating her for diabetes and an urinary infection, and those conditions were under control. But she wasn't eating and kept hiding, which are telltale signs a cat knows the end is near. Coming back from work one evening, we found her at her last moments.
The vet told me that the last sense to go is touch, and that warmth and gentle petting would calm her. And so I cuddled with her on the bed and it seemed to comfort her. Then about 2 hours later she took a deep breath and left. We were very attached to her and it has taken some time to get use
