This past year and a half has been single-handedly the worst of my life. You all know I unexpectedly lost my Mom in September 2024. Then this year in June, literally the week after my Dad and I moved, he had a stroke. Thankfully, he's doing very well, but soon after that, we found out he has Stage 4 Metatsic Prostate Cancer. He's been responding incredibly well to treatment and all the doctor's have been hopeful. So that's very good, but I've become his main caregiver managing and transporting him to his appointments, applying for benefits for him, and helping him cope with all this.

We are both so incredibly blessed that we have a wonderful support system that has been getting us through all this. But it's still been super draining on me. And I'm still dealing with my own health issues on top of everything.

So I just had really bad burn out and no motivation for art, even though I still love Glissando.

Things are still very stressful, but I'm going to try my best to start posting regularly in 2026. It'll be 6 years since I started Glissando and we still haven't gotten to the main story and for a while I was making myself feel bad about it. But then I realized that it really doesn't matter how long it takes, I'm not competing with anyone. I draw this silly little comic because I love it and want to share it with people.

My goal for 2026 is to start posting regularly again. I'm aiming for at least once a month at first, but I'm just gonna do what I can.
