My apologies to anyone waiting on commissions. I honestly haven't had the chance to open my laptop once this entire week. Every day has just been awash with craziness at work and quite frankly, I'm drained and disgusted with people right now. I understand that people are stressed. There's only a week and a half till Christmas and I have multiple families to cater to...so believe me, I'm stressed too. And the last thing I want or need right now is people unloading their holiday stress on me by belittling my intelligence or arguing over the most menial things (like aisle numbers...which was a true situation from earlier this week).

I don't feel creative...I mostly just feel tired. Which any artist can tell you is not a great time to work on anything...

Anyways, I'm not just writing this all to bitch. I wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of town this weekend, visiting family. The holidays are rough on getting stuff done. Anyone who has ties to family and is traveling to see them over the next couple weeks can relate to that. So, all I'm asking for is an ounce of patience from everyone. I'll be back on Sunday and I'll do the best I can to finish some more pieces between then and the following weekend. From Christmas Eve till the following Sunday, you can expect not to see or hear anything from me though...as I'll be tied up with family stuff.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and good luck with your own holiday travels/gatherings.
