I've had the longest week. Medical appointments, treatment for my Crohn's disease, extreme tiredness, sadness, working on my book... I just want to chill and play videogames or read a bit 🥲 At least it's Friday, phew!

Es una preciosidad de película 🥺❤️✨. De paso os recomiendo esta trilogía de folklore irlandés 🇨🇮. Una de las mayores maravillas de la animación de estos últimos años.

So, the vaccine has already been delayed three times 💀 It was supposed to be ready in January, and now it’s pushed to March. In the meantime we’re giving him an alternative, but everything is expensive as fuck. I still have my commissions open, and I really appreciate the work right now 🤲🏻🌷

I've slept like 4 hours today, so I'm like a zombie right now. I wanted to work on my book, but it seems I will need to take a nap and just rest for today 🥲

Me gustaría esperar un poco más, para poder donar a cada una, al menos, 100€. Está la cifra muy baja y no se ha superado los 112€. Si se pudiera llegar a los 300€ sería genial. De verdad, que os agradecería la difusión. Toda la información está en el citado. Mil gracias 😊✨.
