Sick day update

 Man, this cold took a lot more out of me than I thought it would, both physically and mentally. Considering it wasn't really a bad cold especially, but it sure has hung on for a long time. I'm still feeling it even though the worst is now behind me, I'm still not ready to start doing anything with my cards or models. 

I worked on editing those mirror foil scans for the first day but I wasn't feeling it so I didn't go on my computer at all for the next couple days, which I spent mostly watching TV - I finally watched the Loki series on Disney+, and Simpsons, also on Disney+, or sleeping. Lots of sleeping. I finally started working on the scans again on January 2nd and I'm moving through them slowly but surely, I really hate doing them. 

I hit 500 fronts edited on Saturday night, so I am making good progress...even if I'm not enjoying it at all. 

I can't wait until I feel better and can start working on the cards I got for Christmas. I don't even remember what most of them were at this point because I only saw them once and then got sick...so they didn't get imprinted into my brain yet. 

I will be glad to get these foil cards in the past. I probably would have accomplished a lot more but I've spent a bit of time just staring off into space and just being too depressed to work on anything. I haven't gotten to the Finest/Chrome style cards yet. I don't think I will during this cold since I'm just doing them in the order I scanned them back in 2018 or 19. And after the unpleasantness of doing all these foil cards it will probably be a while before I tackle them anymore. I had felt a sense of guilt for putting them off (yes, I know pointless and silly, but what can I say, my head doesn't work normal) but at least now I've made some real progress. 

Of course some of the cards I got for Christmas are Chrome cards so I'll have to do some of them. Probably. 

I haven't touched a physical card in two weeks now and I'm having withdrawls. I literally cannot remember the last time I went this long without handling physical cards. The fact that they are sitting right in front of me but I won't touch them is a really weird feeling too. 

Edit to add: so far I'm only doing the fronts. I have the backs all scanned as well but I figure I will do them when I am getting ready to label the cards. They are normal card stock so much easier to edit. And while 500 sounds like a lot, that's almost 2 weeks worth of work....when my health cooperates, which is admittedly rare, I can do that many in 2 days. Even on a few occasions one day, although that's super rare.
