Hey guys i'm real sorry for my absence here on FA.

Like for a lot of people 2020 was really rough for me.

In june the 3rd flatmate in my house moved out and due to Covid we weren't able to fill the room up, which meant I was no longer paying for ⅓ rd of the rent, but ½ of the rent.
Before my flatmate moved out I was paying $240 a week which included bills, when she moved out I had to pay $300, not including the bills, my weekly wages are $340 , and the last $40 went to transportation.

Then my property manager decided to hit us with a surprise bill, the landlord had been paying our water bill for the first year we were living here for us, we were not notified of this nor did we receive any bills. So we were told we needed to pay the hundreds of dollars back.
This put our other bills on hold, and they piled up too. This was pretty much our entire june-november.

So since June I've been struggling and simply focusing on my adoptable DA account because it was where I was guaranteed to make extra money for the overdue bills, and for food.

I've had some personal stuff happen in my life too that i’d rather not share publicly, but it's just added to my stress and made reaching out difficult, I hope you can all understand.

Two weeks before christmas we finally managed to fill up the room, which is great because it coincides with the one part of the year i start earning more money in general because my hours change, so im finally not struggling for basic living costs.

As Tomorrow is the first of January I'm putting this out there as a sort of new years resolution.
To get back to work on the stuff I owe now that I'm not scraping by the skin of my teeth.

If you are waiting on stuff from me, you can either request a refund, or wait on me.
Some things i will not be giving refunds for, the birthday blowout YCH being one of them as i have already sketched that and i'm currently lining it.
If i have already started working on it, i won't be giving refunds, it's in my T.O.S anyway that i wont give refunds after a certain stage.
I will be completely understanding if you want a refund, just note they will take a while to arrange, but you’ll be on the list if you request one, just let me know.


Im sure i have a lot of notes to answer (i'm writing this before i even go to FA because i am well aware i’ve been absent for too long and it's been making me anxious to comeback because i know i have a lot of people waiting on me, rip my anxiety) and just to make things easier, to those notes i will link this journal so you can all read it and decide for yourself if you want a refund or to wait on me.
Its going to take me a bit to get to all the notes, i don't expect to do a whole explanation for each of them so yeah if i linked this to you hi, hope your not too upset with the delay but if you are i understand, i linked this to you so you can read and decide what you would like to do. Just note me back telling me you want a refund or for me to continue with the work i owe.
If you see i still haven't read your note, don't panic, i’ll get to it, i have a nasty habit of forgetting certain things once the visual reminder is gone so i will keep notes unread until i'm actually available to sit down and reply, best i can do with my memory issues.

Finally, i USED to have a public to do list on DA but unfortunately that was eaten up due to DA’s site update (Anyone else want to rant with me at the stupid update? DA is so annoying to navigate and they took the fun out of personalizing your page). I didn’t realize the update would remove the custom widget feature which is where the to do list was.
I am currently working on a new to-do list. I'm using trello now which is much better for me given my memory issues (2 head injuries, shitty memory, sorry folks) , and it will be public to anyone who wishes to view.

But because i lost the original list not everything is added on currently. I am currently going through the process of adding everything back on, so if you do not see your commssion/custom/YCH DO NOT PANIC, simply comment here, along with what i owe and i will add it, even if you dont, i'm going through my gallery over the next week to add it all back in, i am giving myself the deadline of January 9th/10th to get everything back up, but if you comment yourself that will simply speed it up .
I’ll wait till those dates to hear back from people and if i don't hear anything i’ll continue on as normal.

I was given an ipad from my dad for my birthday, my turnaround speed on art is now faster, so hopefully once I get to your commission it wont take too long to complete if my freetime allows it.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday, even with all the covid stuff.
I hope you’re all staying safe, and lets hope 2021 is better -_-
