TL;DR, working and gaming.

Long story since my last update from my house having a hole in the ceiling, that has already been repaired by the offending neighbor. Now I've just been working at my job and trying to sell my stuff online or locally. I've only recently gotten the mental strength to resume drawing after months of stress. I'll admit that I've fallen into a bad habit of gaming throughout this time when I could have been drawing, and for that I am having an admission of guilt for my blunders.

I am unable to properly apologize. My brother once taught me that to be truly sorry is to promise the mistake will not be repeated, but I can't promise do that at this time. I am praying that I can soon prove to myself and you guys with my actions so you can believe it when you do see it.

After this week of work I'll be off from my job for the rest of May, and this weekend I'm visiting my home state to check up on my father and his chemotherapy, my second nephew's birthday and just being with my family and a friend. I'm having a hard time bringing myself to ask my family for financial help when they themselves are not in a good position but I've become desperate enough to consider pleading them for help.

For context, I've recently moved in with a roommate and I'm paying for my mortgage of my property and rent to them so it's financially taxing. With the state of the economy and the blunders of my HOA, selling my condominium has become increasingly difficult where I'm forced to make compromises in hopes of trying to break away from my financial anchor.

So what are my plans? After my visit to my family, I'm going to start working on owed commissions. Maybe I'll consider opening for commissions with my current price sheet one last time before I also raise prices. I'm hoping to start another Bardis Mayternity freebie giveaway while concurrently working on older submissions from last year, but I'm contemplating on handling it differently (i.e. art stream participants). I'm also considering promoting a sort of donation platform for some income (completely optional) but I'm not sure whether to go with Ko-Fi or BuyMeACoffee for this.

Thank you for reading. I'll stay in touch soon.

[EDIT] I'm off for two weeks of work, not months. I was typing in a rush.
