back from 2 weeks down in FL visiting family and friends, it was great getting away for awhile and revisiting my home. it really helped on the stress front and im glad to be back home. I apologize for not answering any notes over the last few weeks, I brought my laptop down south with me but forgot the charger for it :( my mom and sister both have macs so that was no bueno. I could have answered them on my phone but even that broke well I was down there haha ( tried to get on a hammock with Mont and it couldn't support both of us, so we fell and it cracked. good riddance tho, I absolutely hated my galaxy S4. bought a new LG g3 and I love it so far, but I was without a phone for awhile).

anyways about my art queue. as Ive stated before I went through a few month period of constant panic attacks and basically living in fear every day of having a stroke or a heart attack etc etc. I'm still having these attacks but I am learning how to deal with them and basically I'm trying to convince myself that they are all in my head. the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me and an MRi, cat scan, heart monitor, blood work, allergy tests, and about 10 doctor visits over 3 months drained my bank account. Luckily I have an amazing boy friend who loves and supports me to help me financially well I recover from all this. I am not completely empty on the money fund, I have enough to live on ( wouldn't have bought a new phone if I didn't, $500 discount or not) so Im not going to re open for awhile. I told myself Id never start taking more commissions well there have been people waiting for almost a year now.

needless to say with everything Ive been dealing with Ive developed a major sense of art block. I worked on something every day but I cant seem to get excited about artwork like I used to. like its actual work now lol. when I first started I was so amazed I could make money doing something I loved, but now, 2 years later siting in front of a computer screen for 10 hours a day has taken its toll heavily. My plan as of right now is to finish out my queue, Get another job in retail somewhere, finish off MY AA degree at the community college near me, bring MY GPA back up to over 3.0 at least and apply for the advertising program and Oklahoma University. art will take a major backseat once I get everyone what they are owed and I'll probably just take one or 2 commissions at a time and work on them over the weekends.

so thats about it, the abridged version anyways. like I mentioned before Im rather drained money wise and ID rather not have to shell out refunds, I'd rather get you what you paid for, however, its your money not mine. I have no claim to it. so if youd like a refund we can talk, I may have to send you payments but i'll get you back every last penny.

p.s. oh ya, and Ive started riding my bike 100 miles a week. 1 hour- 2 hours a day at an average speed of 16 mph. I was so scared of suddenly dropping dead that Ive become super health conscious,
