Heya, everyone, this has been my first journal in some time. To some extent, I've had good reason (or rather lack of any reason) to make a new one, but people are getting antsy about my continued existence so I figured I'd make this and get everyone back in the loop :3

For one, February sucked huge. My cat died abruptly, my nearly ten year old computer rig went kaput and had to be replaced on short notice, and to top off the shit cake I broke my left wrist right at the end of the month, and, as you might have figured, I'm having a little trouble typing like this.

Normally, I'd be able to work through any of those issues on their own, but each one hit me in sequence just as I'd begun to recover from the last, and the result of that protracted combo left me out of action for much of February, and now seems to be dripping into March as well, something I sincerely hoped wouldn't happen.

I'm dealing with it in my own ways, and those are helping somewhat, but unfortunately me being so under the weather and unable to contribute has rendered the banshee that lives in my front room even more difficult to stomach than usual. Replacing my computer wasn't cheap, so I wasn't able to cover her... excesses like I usually am. Sparta was her cat as much as mine, and his sudden passing hit her harder than me, and, even though it was almost certainly her fault, she keeps finding things to blame me for regarding it. Then my wrist breaks, meaning I can only provide limited help around the house, and suddenly she goes from frustratingly cruel and mean to intolerably so.

This isn't intended as an excuse for my absence from FA or my various chat-programs, or making some of my commissioners wait longer than I normally like to, but rather as an explanation. I don't think I'll be reopening this month as I'd planned, since I still have leftovers from last month that need clearing after everything went pear shaped.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to your comments.
