Life, Chaos & Cosmic Retrogrades: An Update from Alicia's Desk
Well... That Wasn't Exactly on the Schedule!
Hello, everyone!
Soooooo...you may have noticed I've been a little quieter than usual around here. I promise I haven't fallen off the planet, although there have been a few moments when that sounded like a rather attractive option!
The last couple of months have been, shall we say, an adventure in universal chaos and cosmic shenanigans!
It started with raging ear infections that apparently decided to move in, unpack their bags, and refuse to leave. Then came a viral upper respiratory infection that swept through the entire household like it had reservations. THAT was followed by a particularly nasty bout of bronchitis, complete with coughing fits so violent that my back decided to join the rebellion.
Because apparently being sick wasn't quite enough entertainment for the universe. 😂
Then came the usual(and ridiculously UNUSUAL) assortment of life's unexpected complications, scheduling disasters, and general chaos.
And THEN...
My car went kaput.
Followed by my husband's vehicle deciding it ALSO wanted to participate in the festivities, shortly after what may go down in history as the most expensive oil change EVER!
At this point, I'm pretty sure the planetary retrogrades have been using my household as a recreational punching bag. 🤣
What was supposed to be a relatively short interruption has now stretched across more than two months, and we're rapidly approaching THREE!
So, if you've been wondering where the artwork, stories, updates, videos, and other creative adventures have disappeared to, that's the rather ridiculous explanation.
Life happened. Repeatedly. With enthusiasm.
I'm sorry I haven't been quite as present or productive as I'd planned. Believe me, there's plenty I've been wanting to share, create, publish, and finish!
The good news? I'm still here, still writing, still painting, still dreaming up new projects, and slowly getting things moving again as circumstances allow.
There are stories waiting to be told, artwork waiting to be shared, and more than a few projects patiently (or impatiently!) awaiting my attention.
Thank you for sticking around through the unexpected intermission. I appreciate your patience, encouragement, and continued support more than you know.
Here's hoping the universe has finally exhausted its supply of plot twists for the season.
Because seriously...I have enough material for an entire novel at this point, and I'd really rather be writing fiction! 😂💜
With love, caffeine, and a healthy dose of cosmic side-eye,
Alicia
