Formal apology for my absence! And some good news!
10 years ago
OK SO
I FEEL LIKE CRAP.
well I've felt like crap most of this month, but IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE I just haven't really been all that productive and I feel bad about it. So I thought I would offer some explanations in a proper, singular journal, and get some stuff off of my chest. Even if every time I do this feels like me giving out excuses like candy on Halloween.
First order of business, COMMISSIONS. I'm not actively taking them for a while. I should have probably done this sooner, but I didn't really wanna go "NOPE" to those. Until I clear the stuff off of my plate that I have already, assuming I ever do, I'm really not in a position to take anything else. This doesn't mean I'll stop doing art for people, I still intend to try and do some more request streams, and the patreon stuff gives me a new avenue with which to do so, I just don't feel comfortable saying "I WILL DO THIS THING" when I have an assload of stuff piling up on me.
Next up, INACTIVITY. Time to pile on the excuses. Well you've probably heard about me mentioning floor-building at some point! That's one reason. My grandparents kind of got ripped off, paid 18k for a new floor since part of their house is sinking (doesn't help it's on concrete blocks since we're near the coast), and really only have the base-floor done, which isn't high enough to match their current floor and that makes it dangerous for them to do stuff on it, because they're old. So Mom, Myself, and the rest of the family have been popping over to add a few more layers to it. THAT, should -FINALLY- be finished tomorrow. ish. Up until they buy the finishing planks and stuff, than we have to do that, but that's in the future.
I've also been sick! Not in a traditional sense, I was sick for a bit, maybe like a week, but during that time I -THINK- I ended up getting a Canker-sore or mouth-ulcer (whatever you wanna call it) on the base of my tongue. Too deep for me to administer anything to it, and in the most irritating of places, where swallowing anything became a chore. Especially hard, or flakey foods. Spent an entire evening at my grandparents basically scientifically experimenting with what I could, and could not eat, without wincing. End result was "Not much." Buggered up talking a bit too, but as some stream-goers have pointed out, I ignore the pain when I'm having fun, so that's nice.
I'M FEELING BETTER, and once this floor thing is situated I'm hoping to be active again. Keyword is hoping, if i keep getting dragged off I may need to have a word with the family.
...Thaaaats everything I think. Hope everyone's been having a good month so far! Apologies I've been out of it. Hopefully I'll fix that soon. ish.

Glad you're feeling better. Saves that step. But don't beat yourself up too much over things you can't control! Looking forward to more streams, though.
If you ever want someone to chat with, feel free to talk to me on Skype! It's not particularly relevant to this journal, but. y'know. just saying you can.
I'm not good at being relevant
