Trying to keep my head on straight! Update

Things have been hectic around here, so I figure everyone deserves an update!
Since AC, I've been juggling family matters, wedding arrangements, and getting commissions done! Unfortunately, this left me a little slower than usual for a while, and there are ongoing interruptions here and there as things come up, but I'm still doing the best I can and will keep at it. I have been in contact with just about everybody regarding their orders and will get caught up ASAP! I should be able to make considerably greater headway the rest of this week and next week than was possible last week.
For those of you who have a badge print coming to them with their AC takehome order, please be advised I had to get more ink for my printer and it is currently on the way from the company. It's due here Friday, which means I can print and mail the badges that are finished over the weekend. If you need your badge print urgently, please let me know and I will see about alternate arrangements to get it to you sooner.
I will have very limited commissions available in the first half of August, but you should get in touch with me soon if you want to schedule something then! Otherwise, you may book in September if you like; as usual with me, you can book a slot and only pay for it closer to the scheduled date. My standard commission types & prices are here.
!! THIS PART IS EXTRA IMPORTANT !!
I'll be away from my workdesk from August 18th - September 3rd, during which time
catmonkshiro and I will be away getting married. I will probably not be available for business matters in that stretch. It is totally OK to note or email me then, and I will get back to you when I return to work! However, I do ask that during just that time, people avoid contacting me for business or bug IDs on Twitter specifically. These things have interrupted time away before, and I don't mean to be rude or make myself inaccessible to people, but I think it's not outside the realm of reason to request some discretion on just one social site around the time of the wedding. Thank you very much for understanding. ❤️
Finally, for those of you who want SWEET BUG STUFF from my shop, the NATIONAL MOTH WEEK sale has been running again this week and will continue through Saturday, the 30th! Just use "MOTHWEEK" at checkout for 15% off your entire order - that includes bugdanas, buttons, art prints, EVERYTHING! Only at marycapaldi.storenvy.com :D
OH! And there will be a patron-sponsored stream on Saturday, the 30th, in the evening (EST) featuring my work and projects rather than commissions. I'll be giving notice when I start, so please feel free to come in, hang out, and ask questions! Made possible by my lovely patrons, who will be thanked during the stream!
Be well & I'll have more art to post soon!

Thank you. With any luck we should keep each other happily creating and bouncing around for a long, long time.
I'm sure you will, Nyomi, you don't need any luck, by the look of it. You two work together perfectly :)
Whatever I can do to support the two of you, never hesitate to ask!
Grats again and I hope it's a happy one! :D
Thank you!!
To be honest, I'm a little jealous; having a life-partner that you can work on art with, side by side? That's a very rare gift, Nyomi... hope you two enjoy it to the fullest. :)
I always find it funny, my best friend used to say he was never going to find someone, and then he ran into his wife. ;)
Oh yes, it's always fun interacting with you guys. :) I've been up and down, been in a holding pattern lately waiting to find out if I get some good news or have to figure out a new plan.
Is there any special significance to the honeymoon being 17 days, or did it just fit schedule-wise?
