iwillnotdance | #149: Personal Update

I'm posting this as a separate entry since it's kinda long to put in an icon post, although I'm probably going to link it in the next one ;)

Anyway, as you may have noticed, I took another, longer and unplanned break. This time several things came together. It started with my laptop slowly dying. I noticed a weird clicking sound, brought it to the shop where I bought it (nearly seven years ago), they told me that the hard drive was starting to fail and one day it would just stop working. So I stopped using programs that put too much strain (i.e. Photoshop) on it and concentrated on saving data. Following that I went on a little vacation (with the old laptop^^) and then spend some time setting my new(/refurbished) laptop up. The good news is that this one is so much faster!

After that was done, my back pain (which I mentioned here before) came back full force. That meant a lot of lying down and I can't really make icons in that position. I also used that time to watch some shows, so even though I had icons I could post, I never did *blushes*

Since back pain alone isn't enough, I also noticed being very tired and a lack of motivation for the past couple of months. That was (or at least in part) untreated hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid. I must have developed it during the last 12 months since I get frequent checkups. I started taking medication a little over a week ago and I'm definitely less tired now.

Hopefully that all means I can go back to updating this community a little more frequently and making some icons again.
