Oh boy.

November has been extremely hard. Huge HS flare, and the Artelier is getting major renovations. All in all, I haven’t been able to stay at the computer much… and it shows.

I’m late for everything, and quite frankly, I don’t care. Self-care was of the upmost importance these past few weeks, and I see December taking the same path as I recover outside of my safe space.

Blogging

Ten blog posts are better than none.

• November 2025 Goals
• October 2025 Recap
• Fight Zombies in the Geddonverse
• Save the Geddonverse: Progress Log (1)
• Enemies Sprites: Zombies!
• Artelier Improvement: The Before
• ARRRR
• Never Too Old (Reparenting the Artist)
• Building a “Shorts Backgrounds Asset Pack” for Myself
• Perks of Being an Artist

I’m writing this recap from the living room couch, and it’s not “peak vibes”. Will do the least amount of work possible until I can get back into my Artelier.

November Goals

Oh, how I was naive! But the reno started abruptly, and I didn’t have time to prepare psychologically for it. The November Goals thus were way too ambitious.

• write October 2025 Recap
• work on my Save the Geddonverse game in Godot Engine—nope, impossible with reno happening nearby.
• create more game pixel art assets—I made some pixel assets but not for my game. Good enough.
• work on secret project—impossible as well.
• create more videos/shorts—I made one. It’ll have to do.

On the other hand, a lot has happened for the Artelier. The reno is happening, and it’s going to be amazing. I really hope it’ll be done end of December, but… I know how it goes, and I am starting to doubt it. Still, it would be so good to start 2026 with my safe space all ready.

Social Media

Not much done on the social media front either!

• Facebook: 268 friends (+57)
• Instagram: 9 followers (+3), 18 posts (+2)
• Mastodon: 5 followers (-1), 57 posts (+7)
• Medium: 0 followers, 2 posts (=)
• Pinterest: 1 follower (=)
• Quora: 0 followers (=)
• Reddit: 0 followers (=)
• Threads: 1 follower (=)
• TikTok: 2 followers (+1), 5 videos (+2), 9 likes (+7)
• Tumblr: 0 followers (=)

• X: 4 followers (+1)
• YouTube: 2 subscribers (+1), 6 videos/shorts (+3), 435 views, 0.4 watch hours

I’m skipping December for the social media strategy—whatever I post will be good enough.

In Conclusion

My goal for December is to survive it. I also need to remember that I cannot exist in chaos, and that I shouldn’t plan such extensive handyman work all at once. Lesson learned!
