It has been a whirlwind of things since the start of this month.
For the start, I will say I am mostly okay.
On June 7th I lost one of my pets of 16 years Ezio. He was the daddy dog to my other three Dogs, Mojo, Blossom, and Sulu. It was a rather sudden hit and just completely blindsided me. I haven't been able to pay for taking him in yet, but thankfully this was one of the least expensive parts of my month to start and they did a lot to assuage some of my fears sedating him before we had to let him sleep.
Later that day my county lost power and I had to sleep through a quite warm night and in the morning was able to make a purchase a generator for use for these situations given the current hurricane season where I live now and the remote work requirement I have. This has hit my savings a lot harder than I preferred.
I really haven't had time to process it with work and it's been a hard hit a few days here, but I am doing my best.
Now just yesterday my refurbished Washing Machine has finally quit. There isn't a replacement in the area and repairing it is going to cost nearly the same as replacing it.
I've moved all my funds that I would normally have saved from commissions to buy Birthday stuff into getting these things up. I will be able to do it without spending my commission funds, but it's of course the more responsible thing to take care of my house first.
I am also acutely aware that I am not in a mindset that I could take on additional commission work to do this and still be able to do my upcoming birthday growth that usually do.
I will be able to replace my equipment, but I'm still not feeling the best about it.
I will say if you feel like you'd just want to help you can toss a few dollars here:

Any of this money goes to my paypal and would be going to getting my new washing machine. If somehow I recover my backup funds for emergencies I'd consider trying to get myself some art for the month, but otherwise I hope that this explains where I'm at.
