I apologize for not posting a single thing in I don't know how long. I have been working a huge amount, yet receiving only sporadic and insufficient pay (a new small business does good to break even the first year, the pet shop I work for is losing more than we are making and I working for a friend of the family, so it gets rather messy and I make pretty much nothing-I think I have gotten money in hand maybe 3 times, and no more than $30 each time-since April). I am going to have to leave the job anyhow due to the fact I'm in my third trimester now and can't exactly run a whole pet shop (especially since I usually open-which involves cleaning all the puppy pens, bird cages,ferret cages, etc. as well as feeding everything in the shop. The bending/lifting/carrying is becoming way too much for me not to mention energy-wise, I just can't do it anymore. I have caught myself crying while at my job (I'm usually alone for at least 6 hours on days I work) because I am so tired and so exhausted and just want to go home. I have also developed bad sciatica and I'm having trouble sitting/standing for any period of time and a decent night's sleep has become a thing of the past (mainly due to severe back and hip pain that wakes me up every couple of hours) So honestly, my art isn't going to be popping up here as much as I would like, but hopefully once I escape my pet shop job, I may have the time to do something...other than work to the point of excruciating pain and depression.
