Medium Sized Update
I have finally started putting together my Patreon page. I am still thinking about everything but I wanted to throw some ideas out there. Instead of a monthly payment like some people have, I'd like to make it so that I have people are giving money per thing I do. Right now I've called it a stepping stone.
I was thinking of having a separate blog for the site (though I kind of hate that idea since I've always shared everything) for people that wanted to do a monthly donation.
Some ideas that I've had for different levels:
Postcards
Prints of paintings and drawings
Pendants or Keychains (created on cam and then molded)
Mini original paintings/artist trading cards
Small original painting
3D painting or journal
The last two are much more time intensive and would probably be for people who were sponsoring for a lot more.
I'd also be willing to do some musical/video stuff but I don't know how far I'll delve into that yet. I only sort of like the idea of downloadable content, I'm a very tactile person and I don't make digital art and my stuff doesn't transfer well into digital form.
I'd do special cam times/chats if people were interested in that, or extra art photos on Snapchat or Instagram.
I've added a bunch of goals and I put them all at 5.00 because these are things that I should work on but I couldn't leave it at 0.00.
I'll share the link when I've decided how I'll do it. Its going to be a lot of work.
Other:
Not long after my last post, I started bleeding so I assumed that is what is causing the migraines.
On Tuesday (8/16) afternoon I was about to go to a meeting and I got insanely nauseated. I thought I had food poisioning but apparently it was a precursor for another migraine. It took me out all of Tuesday and most of Wed. I did everything I could Wed to make sure I didn't get sick, including wearing my glasses so there wan't any chance of any eye strain. Stayed on top of head pills, ate enough fat and salt, drank plenty of water and even took water with me on my walk earlier in the evening..
I've been trying to walk every night. Keto has been great for me and I already feel a lot better, I just have to remember to eat more because the first thing I always do on keto is lose my appetite. Somehow Brian is the opposite. Before that I was up to eating a very large meal and dessert and still being hungry/able to eat. I sweat so much that I've gotten to the point I am having to bathe a couple times a day, even though one is just a short shower. This keeps me from walking multiple times a day. I'll never understand why I sweat like I do. We walked the trail and Brian was dry as a bone. I was so wet that I had to take off my handkercheif and put it in my bra. I was glistening and my clothes were completely soaked through.
Been watching a 'No Man's Sky' playthrough and it definitely looks like the kind of game I could chill out and play for a long time. I love games where I can wander around. Luckily the PC in the living room is strong enough to run it. I don't know if I'd be able to play it on my setup. The game seems incredibly relaxing (save the random animal attacks and space pirates), and it seems like the best kind of game to kick back, explore, collect things and build things. So uh...if someone wants to buy it for me feel free :P
I'm considering playing it and doing some twitch/talking about my life a bit while I do it.
Updated a bit- Still fighting migraines, I don't think it was the period =(.
The sweating/smell seems to be a mix of things but part of it is that Secret changed their formula and it no longer works for me. I am going to have to try something different. I'm considering Botox shots. Its bad enough that people can smell me from pretty far away.
So here are possible contributing factors:
I'm only taking Tramadol 2x a day. Since I go into withdrawal every 6 hours or so I'm in withdrawal when the sweating starts before I can take it again. I'm going to try to combat that by breaking them in half and taking them every six hours like I was.
Cymbalta causes sweating.
Anemia causes sweating.
Keto probably isn't helping but my deodorant has always been fine before.

Ok did some more testing. Tried Brandon's deodorant Yesterday morning. His is the old version of what I used. After not really doing much all day, I was still stinky.
Today I changed the timing of my meds. Even after a walk in the park and sweating profusely, I don't smell bad so I definitely think its the withdrawal that's causing some of it.

Blahhhhhhhhhh
I still have this journal just sitting around. So many blankbooks lol
