Well, another journal! I should really start writing more of these if I'm being honest with myself. ^^;

To start, Yes, I've been profoundly busy the last few months. With summer coming to a close and my birthday passing a month ago, a lot has happened over the course of that time. In the beginning of August, right before I left for my vacation, which I barely get to begin with due to long hours at work and needing money to afford things, my car was attempted at being broken into. While unsuccessful, the thieves decided they'd get their frustrations out and smash every single one of my windows out and damage the sunroof...thanks, you love bunch of individuals. After contact through insurance, and fighting with them over the fact that they've proven their incompetency to order new parts in to fix my car, I ended up having to pay for 75% OF THE DAMN REPAIRS. So much for full coverage and the fact it was all on camera, ehh? ^^;

So, that was several thousand dollars to get everything repaired, and at the same time all that had to get repaired...my struts starting leaking. Cool! Total that with everything I had to order and pay for myself since my insurance said since I already paid for my deductible, I have to pay for everything out of pocket (as if that made any sense whatsoever..) I'm now out $6,500. :D

Thanks Geico, you useless gecko! I hope a bird eats you! So, after dealing with all of this before, during, and AFTER my vacation, I also had to help my sister with getting a new set of tires since she rode hers bald and blew them out on the side of the highway, which also destroyed a rim (Despite me telling her she's in desperate need of tires and that she was not driving safely.)

Then on top of ALL of that, I just found out a couple days ago that my Grandma had stage 4 cancer...and died...I really wish I was told the severity of it sooner...because I never got to say goodbye...I know the last time I spoke with her, it wasn't on the best of terms...but I didn't want her to die thinking that I hated her...I didn't...

So, now I'm waiting for a funeral date to attend, and hopefully I'm accepted there, and whilst I'm waiting I've been working 55+ hr weeks at work to make up for the loss of my savings from all the happenings. So...I've been taking comms. It's gotten to be a bigger list than I ever could've thought...^^;

I'm working with everyone the best I can to make it as good as I can for everyone who comms me. I know I don't have official pricing, but I appreciate everyone who's been requesting them from me and the price points we agree upon! It's been helping a lot more than you all think! I feel like I've finally been improving over the past few months and I'm hoping to get even better in the following.

Till then everyone, thank you for your continued support and interest in my art, it really does mean a lot to me and I hope that I continue to make you all happy with what I make. ^^
