it never ends! D:

Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.So, we thought we had until August to find a new apartment and move out, but Cory's stepdad told the landlord we're moving out by the end of this month. :/ So we not only have to find a new place, quick, that doesn't make me terrified for my life, but we have to pack all our things, get rid of a bunch of clutter, AND move in, in a month. :( So that's stressing me out. And I've been gone a lot because I'm struggling to tidy up and pack and do all the horrible stressful moving stuff that needs to be prepared for.
On top of that, two days ago I had my first allergic reaction :( I thought it was something way worse than it was because I had no idea what was wrong, but it turns out I had contact dermatitis from a first-aid spray that had benzocaine in it. Since I'd never come in contact with it before, it took two days of use before the allergy finally appeared (since your immune system has to figure out what it is, prepare, and then attack trying to fight it off), so by then I didn't realize that the spray was the culprit, and had stupidly continued to use it.
The irony is that I used the spray on two or three very minor flea bites, and wound up with a horrible rash up and down the insides of both my arms and on my neck (from my hands spreading the chemical around) that absolutely drove me crazy and made focusing on anything else impossible for almost two days! It's a good thing that my closest friend is a doctor or I would have gone crazy.. X3
The third night my arms were itching so horribly badly that I couldn't sleep and actually wound up crying for a few hours in misery. ; ; I saw a doctor yesterday morning and she confirmed that it was an allergy and told me to take OTC allegra and get a stronger hydrocortizone cream. Today it's much less terrible, but I've been having to keep my arms away from my body and that makes doing anything useful (like art or moving) very difficult.
So I'm sorry I've been useless! But oh gosh, you do not want to see my arms right now.
Gross. Gross gross gross. :( Right now my arms look like when I had chicken pox as a kid. :( Wish me better, you guys!

Much as I'd love to do some sketches for fun, I hate to make my clients think I'm goofing off, so I'll likely just be working on their stuff when I have free time. I do have lots of stuff I'd like to do for myself, but right now I don't really think I can afford to let anyone believe I am just taking my sweet time about it... X3 <3
moving is always a pain
I'm not sure of your entire situation but try calling up some buds
and see if they can lend a hand at packing and moving things.
If someone has a truck it'll totally help out once you find
a place to get moving to.
Full support and well-wishes.
cause it goes on and on my friend!~ :D
As for the rest... Pardon my frog-talk, but fuck.
so i hope you recover soon. allergies like that suck beyond all belief. but at least it is not like my allergy to gold. which is instant and terrible.
