Rough times

General
I'll make this short.
My house flooded and we've been displaced until further notice. Moving everything that we can out has been difficult and mentally taxing. Constantly moving in and out of a hotel room, the ripped apart house and storage facility has been mentally and physically taxing. It's possible for me to continue artwork, but I haven't been able to physically or mentally in the past 5 days.
I'm exhausted.
So, not that anyone cared to begin with, commissions are closed, and artwork is going to be sparse if even done at all.

Asbestos was found in my house, which further delays the time it'll take for me to get back. Estimated time is... two months. I... don't even really know what to think of that anymore. I have been able to somewhat keep up with doing artwork using my laptop, but it's been very rough for me mentally. I plan to get a piece done for halloween. I swear I will.

The insurance covers very little, but that battle is finally over. Getting a professional removal service would cost too much, somewhere to the tune of 20k. So, after a new water heater is installed by my dad, it's going to be up to us to move/trash everything from the house we haven't deemed important enough to go straight to a storage unit. We're going to have to get an on-site storage unit like a Big Box in order to make it easier on us. There's no set plan for how things will go. Oh, and the insurance isn't paying for the hotel stay, or basically anything. But we got what we could and that's what matters.
Regarding artwork, commissions are obviously still closed. The stress of making a piece under a time limit, even when it was an entire month, hurt me mentally a lot, so I will be taking however long of a break I need from attempting artwork. My next piece I have planned is of Munch from Tribal Hunter drumming on his belly like a tanuki. I believe it'll be a nice, simple and fun piece.
