Hey everyone! (Mainly people commissioning me, though.)

I am going to be at Midwest FurFest this weekend! (This is not relevant or exciting to most of you.)

What IS relevant/exciting is that I won't have my tablet with me (it plugs into my PC, my laptop can't handle it) for a week (I get back next _Thursday_, as I'm visiting a close friend for a couple of days after the convention before I fly home). So, that means there won't be any streams. It also means progress on outstanding commissions will pause for a week. ... not that I've been making fantastic pace with them anyway.

So on that note, I also want to say, for those of you that have had to wait a hot minute between updates or are still waiting: know that I haven't forgotten anyone, and I _super_ appreciate your patience. Whenever I set a goal such as "These are commissions to be done in this month or these months" I always seem to wind up taking way longer than that, and it can be anxiety-inducing to feel like I'm letting people down like that. But on the other hand, with every batch of commissions I tackle, I'm learning new lessons about how to manage both my business model and my personal work ethic to get things done and make the process smoother and more enjoyable both for me and for you.

So, seriously, thank you! For your patience/understanding, and also just generally for your frankly kind of shocking and overwhelming support lately since I started opening comms "regularly" like this. It really truly means a lot to me.
