Justine has already mentioned this on her own DA, but her medical exam showed no serious illness. We will, however, have to work more seriously on her getting enough exercise and eating right. We've been spending a lot of time on vacation and during the weekends bicycling around the northern Netherlands, camping at little campsites and seeing the area. This seems to be working, and it's a lot of fun, but it's more time out of our art schedules.

Meanwhile, I've also been tested for a stomach problem I've been having for almost a year. I haven't got the results back but it's likely to be either a helicobacter infection that can be eliminated with treatment, or nothing specific at all. I'm also trying to improve my health and fitness, because aside from the elimination treatment, that's about all I can do. Again, I'm enjoying that a lot, but it takes time.

We're also both suffering from motivation problems, to be honest. I've got plenty of ideas in my head but little interest in actually drawing them under present conditions. I don't know the answer to that one - our recent vacation has made me feel a lot better, but it's not got me to the point where I want to get back to the drawing board just yet. I'll keep you boys and girls posted.
