In case you missed this from my main account. Announcement.

General
Alright first off an announcement. I really hoped I wouldn't have to do this, but I am cancelling the current commission queue I have. I have kept you all waiting for far too long, and it's time to admit to myself that I just can't complete the stories at this time. My deepest apologies to all of my commissioners. I have no excuse. I have failed you all. I won't open for commissions again until I am stable enough in living arrangement, healthwise, and jobwise so that I can actually focus and get these stories out to you if you'll choose to give me another chance. It also being the holidays, and these commissions weren't paid for up front, it would not be fair to suddenly spring a commission on you in case you've forgotten about it.
My life has been one chaotic roller coaster this year and hopefully things will settle down and allow me to breathe next year.
Heath: My surgery recovery is going well. It will still be some months before I'm back to full health. But for now not being on crutches and/or popping pain medicine like candy on a regular basis is good enough.
Living Arrangement: As I've mentioned in a previous journal, my father sold the house I grew up in earlier this year. Since then things have been a bit...rough. I have been sharing a small one bedroom apartment with my father and little sister for the past few months. My surgery pushed back plans my dad had to move back to his home state. But as far as I know that's still in the works. For the present though I have made arrangements to move away from LA to another city and get my own apartment. I've been approved for a two bedroom place and I am very excited. My father and sister are reportedly going to come with me, but they will be getting their own place.
Job wise: I took a look at how my life was shaping up earlier this year. I felt trapped in a position that I never chose for myself that I've been in for near eleven years. And though I hate to lose that time, I never chose this job in the first place. Also I mostly kept it to help dad pay the mortgage on the house. Now that the house is gone I don't have that hanging over my head anymore and am free to make the first choices for my life. Being where I will live and what I will do to support myself. I will be a taxi driver. I have visited my best friend a ton of times over the past three years in the city I'll be working in and around, and have loved the area each time. So I have chosen to pursue m passion for driving and make it into a job I can use to support myself at least until I find a better job driving, or until I get a higher class license or certificate to get a better job. So this past Monday much to the chagrin of my soon to be former boss I put in my two weeks notice. (though I told her of this plan a month ago while I was recovering from surgery.) She has since tried to convince me to change my mind, but I can't. This seems like a perfect opportunity for me and I want to see this decision through. I already have everything set up to begin the new job in the new year, and all I have to do is finish off these last two awkward weeks and a new chapter can open in my life.
So yeah a lot going on in my life this year. It was not the best decision to open for commissions when I did, and I apologize again to those who are undoubtedly disappointed in me. I promise that next time I open, I will get them finished in a timely fashion should you choose to give me another chance.
