SO I got a real run-around from warranty, and eventually (AFTER doing 2 full factory resets, mind you) was told that my laptop wasn't eligible for warranty repairs. Costco's warranty was really, really unpleasant to me and their order of operations is horrendous - send photos of what your laptop looks like AFTER you do factory resets so we can tell you AFTER you lost all your files that you arent eligible for warranty.

But I just got it back from a local repair shop that did have some issues getting the keyboard in - it kinda took a while - but it feels SO GOOD to finally have a working keyboard again!!! and I don't feel like I paid out the nose to get it fixed.

That said, I have three outstanding commissions, and I'm going to be getting to work on those very soon after I get Clip Studio and my tablet reinstalled and all my files back on my laptop from where I backed them up. 2 are WIPs, and 1 I did not get to start before having these computer issues.

But otherwise, I won't be reopening commissions for a little while. My work hours and other obligations that I have makes even doing warm-up sketches extremely difficult to work in some days, so until further notice, I'm going to be focusing on doing my own art when I have the time because for once, I am also not in intense need of money. I may try putting out some adoptables at some point, but once these three comms are done, I'm gonna just focus on what I would like to. This whole situation has stressed me out and left me wound up and exhausted and I could use a break once my obligations are taken care of

Thanks for the patience!
