So, what's been going on here...

Passed one of the 3 trials for my degree (the one I possibly feared the most). Massive stress, but now that its done I can move on to the next stress, which is the second of those trials.

Attached to this was a bit of a kick in the teeth where accounting problems with the people that pay me messed up the time frame of my monthly checks, so I got several months of 1/2 pay, including December. Basically, found out I was given enough to perhaps just cover the bills that couldn't be put on credit until this is fixed (and it will be fixed).

What it has meant is a Christmas with little in the way of giving gifts, and no time to have put out Christmas cards. I've been starting to try and work on some drawings for a couple people, but months of no time for that, and well, the results are somewhat predictable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going without this holiday season, just that it has had to be very "frugal" for the time being. I've treated a couple people even in the days leading up to today.

I do want to say this though, for both the furs local to me, and some of those here. This doesn't seem to get said much, and certainly not as much as it should.... you're awesome. Really. I've had a few cards here, someone drew me such a cute picture too, and there was an item with my suit.... For someone that has not been around 1/10th as much as he wants (or feels he should) its just very humbling. I try not to forget such things either.

Thanks so much, and I really do hope the holidays are good to you. *semi-squishy hugs all around*

P.S.>> Will be trying to mix in some drawing with the remainder of my workload so that some new stuff does get done for people.
