It’s a day late but the page is here! Not sure if I’ll have next week’s page finished in time or not. My surgery is on May 5th, and I’m EXTREMELY nervous. I’m always nervous before surgery. I’ve been under 3 times in the past and it never gets easy. Then I think, Dogs and cats get spayed all the time! Now it’s my turn.” Also, these are professionals and this will be another day at work for them. Trivializing it has helped some. Yet my anxiety continues to spikes from time to time if I let my mind wander.

Some more serious news: For those who don’t know, my grandmother passed away. Since most of the family couldn’t come in for the service, due to travel restrictions concerning the pandemic, my mother made a private Facebook group where the service could be streamed. I needed this. I wasn’t able to attend my other grandmother’s funeral (an ice storm prevented travel), and I never got the closure I needed. It is something I continue to regret. This time, however, I felt a part of it… in some strange way.

With all of this going on, it’s made me face mortality head on. I want to finish my comic before I die. I REALLY do. So… are there any objections to continuing my comic with stick figures? No? Good!

Just kidding. It will be in the style of Bob’s Burgers.
