December update

General
Back at work, have been making progress; if things go well I might actually catch up on commissions again, wouldn't that be wild?
Wanted to quickly shout out the folks picking up things on the Sellfy shop; I've noticed an uptick in sales this month, and I'm very grateful, it has helped keep me afloat during the time of year when payments are otherwise often delayed due to holiday things occurring. This is ESPECIALLY relevant today, as my scanner has finally decided to develop a whine and a burnt-out light or sensor after a (pretty impressive!) three year run, and I'm having to rush-ship a replacement to keep work going.
So I guess I'll be taking a forced break from commissions for a couple of days on top of my usual days off. Might spend some of the time working on other projects/folios. As long as the replacement isn't delayed, I'll be back on the work trail in a day or two, and will resume trying to get through the whole queue by the end of the month. I'm not a big holidays person, so I don't mind the work schedule, but for everyone who is, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have fun out there safely, ya gits 8V
Also, personal bugbear, covid's been on an upswing, so for the sake of the vulnerable people in your orbit (and staying healthy so you can enjoy the celebrations), please do mask up when out and about. I know most people have made up their mind on this topic one way or the other at this point, but please consider this a gentle nudge in the direction of not risking cardiovascular damage this holiday season. 8V
Addendum 12/22: Scanner did arrive yesterday, work has resumed.

Still been masking any time I'm around others indoors (and also outdoors, since it turns out masks are really nice for keeping your face warm in cold winds; had a relative borrow an extra mask I brought with me on a family garden trip just last night entirely for the warmth). It has been weird but also nice to not have to use sick leave for anything except "oops I ate bad food" sorts of incidents. Thank you again for the advice there, the Auras have helped make the whole thing a lot nicer.
And yeah, a rated face-mask is a surprisingly good for cold weather.
