So with everything that is going with Thor my return from Hiatus is a bit up in the air for now. I also will have to hold off on doing anything with my new design for a while. Like I have said before his health and recovery will always be the most important thing to me. ♥️

Sorry for the silence again. On top of the flare up that has been going on for weeks now I've been dealing with a stressful ordeal with my Senior Cat, Thor since last Thursday. My priority and the most important thing to me right now is making sure that my sweet old boy feels better. ❤️

I feel so bad for any artist that I have to communicate with. They end up with novels to read because I over explain *everything* and then apologize for over explaining. I'm so thankful they have all been so sweet and patient with me!

*Whispers* So... this Shapeshifter is going to be getting a new form soon. It is very very different than my current form and I am incredibly nervous. I think it is so cute and I hope you will too. This will be a big, long process so I will be coming back from hiatus in my current form.

It has been a very long time since I have had a flare up last this long. I keep thinking that it will start easing up soon but it just keeps getting worse instead.😭 I am in pretty rough shape right now but I will be okay. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

Alright everyone. Without trying to jinx things or put pressure on myself or anything like that. I am aiming to be back from hiatus next month. When next month? I am not sure but I will let you know when I have an update! I miss you all so much and can't wait to yap with you again soon!!

New Desk is built! and it is very big! I am... mostly, sort of set up. I think it will be a bit of trial and error before I find the best and comfiest set up for me. I also will probably change my stream set up a few times too but a lot of progress was made today and I am happy!

I had so much fun watching the Club Ironmouse Concert tonight!! Mouse, her team and everyone involved did such an amazing job!! Everyone is so talented and sounded incredible. I can't wait for the next concert!! ❤️

I can't wait for the Club Ironmouse concert in like 18 hours and 15 minutes. There is a countdown on the PPV site. I don't know this off the top of my head! 😆 I am so excited!! The pre-show guest announcements have been amazing so far too! I am so thankful for the PPV option once again. ❤️

I posted a little update to Discord and then forgot to post it on socials. 😅 I am hoping I will be back really soon!! The ETA of the desk actually updated since I posted in Discord and the desk should hopefully be here this week!!

So. a bit of an update. One of the biggest things stopping me from returning to streaming right now is actually my set up. I had to stop using my chair as it was causing me a lot of pain and I couldn't ignore that anymore. So I have been back to the couch. 
Fun Fact: If you have been around for a while this is in fact the same couch I used to stream from when I was a cam streamer lol 
However my current desk is really not made for streaming in general but especially not while being on the couch. 
SO long story short (hahaha) I ordered a new desk. It won't be here for a little while but hopefully once I can get my setup comfortable for me again I will be able to try a short stream!

This heat is disgusting. I am so thankful we were able to get a new air conditioner for the basement. It is the only reason I am not feeling more miserable than I already am. Please take care of yourself. Especially if you are chronically ill or at risk. Stay safe, hydrated and as cool as you can. ❤️

I know I haven't posted for a while. Again. I am not sure if anyone will even see this but it has been nice to just sort of exist. I'm focusing on making myself a priority. I am taking care of myself & my health as best as I can. I do miss you all a lot. I'll be back yapping soon enough! ❤️

I had like one or two days where I felt okay. I was starting to feel hopeful. Well those hopes were dashed pretty quickly. Chronic illness flare ups are baaaack. I am feeling like absolute trash again. Back to couch rotting for a while I guess. I'm beyond exhausted. 😢

That was not fun. I'm severely allergic to hornets. I was about to go downstairs. Then I see Mystique freak out, jump out of the window & run downstairs. There was a hornet. No idea how it got in the house or how long it has been here. Hubby took care of it though and everyone is thankfully okay.

I have been thinking a lot while I have been away. I think when I am able to come back I will just have chatting / chill streams for a while before I think about diving back into gaming streams. You all love to listen to me yap for some reason so I hope that sounds okay to you!

Whenever I am able to return to streaming I don't think I'm going to be able to start my streams after 9 PM anymore. My sleep is far from fixed. This is likely as good as it gets but I'm sleeping at more "normal" hours now. I'm not sure what will be the best time to go live.

I think it will still be a little while before I am ready to come back to streaming but I am starting to plan a few things. I miss yapping with you all so much. Thank you for being patient and understanding with me. 💜💜

I know it has been like two weeks since I last posted. I just don't really know what to say anymore. Things are still pretty rough. I am still not great but I am getting through it one day at a time. ❤️❤️

I just wanted to say that I am doing as okay as I can be. Still struggling a lot with everything but trying to take things one day at a time. Thank you to everyone who has checked up on me. It means a lot. ❤️

So in all of the chaos going on I am so happy to say that I was actually able to get Tomodachi Life. I just have to say that this is exactly what I needed right now. The fun and silliness is just the perfect distraction from everything else happening. My island already has so much drama! 😂

I'll try this again since images appear to be loading now. Not the post I want to be making but here we are. I hope I won't be gone for too long but we will see how things go. I will try to keep posting a bit on socials and I will still be around in my Discord server. Take care everyone! ❤️

Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, things have been happening in my personal life that have been incredibly difficult and stressful for me since the end of last year. This has severely impacted my mental health and my already fragile physical health. I have only been able to stream four times so far this year and it is almost May.

At this point I would just like to announce that I am officially going on hiatus. I honestly am not sure for how long. I wish I could give you a date but I do not want to put that kind of pressure on myself. I need to focus all of my energy right now on my physical and mental health and taking care of myself.

Thank you for always being kind and caring and understanding when it comes to my health and not being able to stream. I miss you all but I will be back soon! 

Much Love,
Astreigha
