Hey guys (Follow up to Important Update)
12 years ago
I currently have 8 notes that I haven't read yet, and since i have work in 1 hours, I probably won't look at them until after I get back later today.
I'm very sorry that I've been offline for over a week, as I'd originally intended just to take 3 or 4 days to get my shit together.
For what it's worth, I have been feeling a bit better. Having a job has been helping me clear my head and retake stock of the entire situation, and taking a look at everything i have to do, I'll probably only have 3 or 4 hours after work every day to work on suits, and the days that I'm off, which is usually 2 days a week (from what the scheduling looks like), sometimes 3.
Right now, I will NOT be forcing any refunds unless people want them them selves, as I will still be trying to work on suits, and would like to contact me about that, but you'll also need to understand that my current.. well, everything... still doesn't have THAT much extra money, so it will be slow, and I already have a few refunds I'm working on completing.
That said, I MAY end up approaching some with the offer of a refund if I A: Haven't started at all on your suits, or B: Actually have the money on hand to pay it back in full. But there are a lot of things I still need to go over with my records.
Right now, if I'm remembering everything correctly, There are a few projects that haven't been paid for at all, but have been sitting on my que that I will need to permanently(?) put on hold for now until the end of the paid suits. I will also be needing to put trades on hold until further notice, which people can contact me reguarding the status of what we're doing with that.
That all said, I'll be trying to put up pictures of progress on
's white otter and 
's Sushicat full suits in the next day or two, and ship off a few things on my next day off.
Also, thank you to those of you that didn't try to contact Narco about me, and those that respected my request for a bit of time to calm down and think things over. I was in a really bad place durring my last journal, and looking back, I do think I over reacted quite a bit to just about everything. I'm feeling better now, and a bit more confident in my own abilites again, so, again, thank you all for being understanding.

honestly, I've kind of been panicing majorly over here. This entire back half of 2012 was just driving me into the ground and with the new year, everything just kind of exploded. But right now, thinking back on some really good advice from a really great suitmaker, just taking stock of everything and realizing what I have to do to plow through it, and actually DOING that, REALLY helped me a lot.
Now it's just a matter of dealing with everything in a semi timely manner, but honestly, I don't have the free time I did to force myself to plow through things, so maybe this will work out better for me? Work forcing me to take breaks and not kill myself over suits and stuff.
I'm so glad to hear you're doing better,I was so worried. :(
If there's anything I can do to help you please let
me know!
Sorry I did try and contact Narco about it but I just wanted you to know my end had been shipped. :3
According the the tracking number you should have gotten it already haha. <3
I hope to see your end soon, I'm super excited. :3
Just don't overwork yourself hun c:
Not to be preachy (or condescending :c!), but as a person who's fallen behind when life decided to take a dump on me: the biggest thing that helped me was to set TINY, ACHIEVABLE goals, then achieve them. That sounds obvious, but with me; I'd start trying to work on something and then I'd slowly start to remember Every Other Thing I Owed EVERYONE, FOREVER, and just get overwhelmed by anxiety and stress, and too paralyzed to work at ALL, and that day would be a wash because it turned into guilt/avoidance/anxiety management instead of any sort of work, however minor. So what I've found helps avoid THAT snafu best is just LIMIT YOUR SCOPE. Through whatever means, make the goals as TINY as you need, just so long as it's something and it's progress on your workload. "Today, my entire world is this fursuit nose. That is going to get done today, and it's gonna be awesome." That gives you a sense of accomplishment, progress, and helps you gain momentum. You can move on to bigger goals once you've built yourself up, but there's nothing wrong with taking the tiniest of bites out of your work at first. Because all it's gonna take is a bunch of tiny little bites to take this out <3
