So, and I will verify the receipts to anyone who doesn't believe me, I have an unexpected expense.
My car has had a dead battery that I have been working on fixing, and I bought a jumper in January to try and jump this battery. It was very cold and I put it off til February, only to find that the battery had shorted and could not be jumped.
It was parked in my apartment complex's private lot, on the edge of a 6 foot drop. I decided that I would save for a tow to a mechanic for a new battery and any additional minor repairs that would be needed.
Then my cat fed my dog rat poison. Then my cat got sick. And the savings that I meant to put toward a tow and repairs went toward being a good pet owner. I thought I would have enough at the end of the April or maybe mid May to tow and switch the battery.
THEN TONIGHT.
My apartment management had my car towed since it hadn't moved in a while, despite the permit that I pay for every single month to park in the lot. I'm pissed about that, but oh fucking well.
I had to pay $225 to get my car released, to prevent any further storage fees. I also received a ticket for an abandoned vehicle, despite the current registration and insurance with the car. This ticket is for $301.
Thankfully the tow facility is also a mechanic, so I don't have to pay for an additional tow to a mechanic. But, I still have to figure out exactly how much that will cost, they will be calling in the morning with that amount, but given the cost of car batteries and the fact that they kind of have me over a barrel, I fully expect that to run around $200.
SO, know I DO NOT do this lightly. I fucking hate that it's come to this. 2018 has been a terrible fucking year.
I am going to offer chibis for $20. These take roughly 2 hours to do, so please, regular commissioners, know that I will do my absolute hardest to make sure that this DOES NOT affect your time, but there may be some mild delays. If your time goes over the 2 months outlined in the ToS, know that you will be allowed to ask for a refund, but know that I absolutely do not intend for it to come to that.
ANYWAY. These chibis are not a regular commission type. CHECK IT HERE NOTE ME IF INTERESTED.
