Fox and I have been through a lot this year. The moving drama took up our entire summer. The new house is nice, but the bills are far higher than we thought. The car decided to act up, and is acting strange even after repairs were made. Not to mention the election.

Between all that and my retail job, I've been stressed to the point of breaking - two days ago, I confessed to Fox that I had been having thoughts of ending my life. I hate that those thoughts came to me at all; we've fought through so much and it's not fair to check out now and leave Fox to clean up the mess. But there it was.

We talked, and I agreed to see a counselor. Upon meeting with her, she was shocked at my mental state. She asked me to immediately find a way to take time to get my head right. It's the worst time to ask for it, but I put in for a medical leave of absence. My company is fantastic, and nobody gave me trouble over it, but now I'm worried - I'm going to have no way to contribute to our finances for a couple of paychecks' worth.

So I'm putting out the call - after I take a day or two to get my head right, I'm opening up for a second round of commissions. New policies, pricing, and workflow options will be posted as well.

Still owed -
Art Slave - 1 hour
Line packages - 2

New work will be completed after these have been finished.

Thank you all for your support, and I hope that this time away from my day job will be full of the kind of work I'm passionate about.

Much love,
-Lina
