Uneasy Waters....(Personal shit, commission que, and stuff)

Okay folks.
The last couple months haven't been easy in the Weiler household. Long work hours, no pay, job hunting on my side. In general it's been all over the place. But things are coming around, not the way we hoped, but they're improving.
We lost the worker's comp cases, but still have a stab at part of the settlement, so that'll be a small drop in the bucket of what we need. But it should be enough to set us on the right direction.
I had mentioned my car broke, blew it's motor. The body's not worth the money to put another motor in it and lets face it a Geo Tracker isn't very safe. And now I sorta got reasons to wanna stay around and are a little more worried about my well being so we're selling it off to someone wanting the transmission. We caught a small break there. My mother lent me her old car (the one I learned to drive in) for a bit, and then after we got it running right (about $90 worth of parts) decided to give it to me. So I now have a fairly reliable vehicle that's easy on gas, got cheap parts...no AC, but I'll live.
Walmart has screwed me over, they still owe me my liquidated Vacation hours in a check. They didn't enter my end date until the 21st of June, which was waaaay late. So the check got pushed back a pay period, and then, and then, they lost my fucking check some where. So I gotta wait til next week when they get another one. and it's shitty I can't do anything about it. And I'm not so much worried about the dollars...the money really, so much as it's just...like... "Seriously? You're a multimillion dollar corporation. How the fuck do you do that."
And then there's moving. Like, out of state moving.
Away.
Far.
Away.
I don't want to go into details, but shit, lots of shit, is about to hit the fans on my in-laws and we want to be out of dodge.
The good news is that hopefully once we move we'll be able to settle down, get something steady, not have so much stress, have some time off. And just in general be able to relax.
So prior to this all coming down I'm going to be working hard to get those of you in my commission que taken care of.
You're all very lovely people and are awesomely patient, and I really want to throw my thanks out there to you guys. If it weren't for you folks we woulda hit rock bottom so many times, we would be in a lot worse condition than we are.
It hurts my pride to rely on others to help me out, but seriously you guys rock, you've helped so much and I think every artist should have a thanks out there for their commissioners, watchers, fans, and in general admirers. You guys pay our bills, support our dreams, etc. I probably just sound like I'm blowing smoke out my ass, but seriously. If any of you asked I could tell you exactly where each dollar of commission money and donation money has gone. If you paid a certain bill I could tell you which one, if you bought my groceries for a week I could tell you what I made. I don't think, not once have I spent a dollar of it on anything wanton, not needed, or important.
So thanks.

As a note: You and Hozz are welcome to stay in Connecticut at my place for a one-month period if you're moving into the area.
Wish I could afford mroe art from you guys right now; budgets just getting TIGHT here.
Curious where you're going, though. However, I'm no cat... I'll survive until you wish to reveal it. ;)
