Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well.

I have some good news!

A few days ago, I reached out to Metlife, asking if they reached their decision regarding my case. After reviewing my medical records, they determined that I am in fact, disabled.

This is good news! This means I will FINALLY get the back pay I am owed. I wanted to wait until I had the check in my hands to tell you all about this, because at this point, I'm paranoid about everything going wrong at any moment. However, I didn't want to withhold good news, so I figured I would let you all know.

The outpouring of support has been incredible. Someone over on my Ko-Fi donated a whopping $2000. I still can't believe it. The generosity is so overwhelmingly kind, that I can barely process it. With everyone's donations combined, I'll have enough for my rent this month, and at least one upcoming procedure. If I get my Metlife checks in a timely manner, it should all add up to a stable amount. I won't be drowning in bills!

I want to thank you all again so much for the incredible support you've given to me. I can never say it enough. It's been tremendously stressful over here, but I feel like I can breathe at least a little bit. Thank you for helping me get through this. Thank you SO much.

I'll post another update once I actually get those checks, because again, I'm terrified that something stupid will go wrong at any moment. Here's hoping it won't.

In other news, I've been working on a bunch of stuff. I'm FINALLY getting some of those long overdue sketch page commissions done! I've finished about 2 of them, which isn't a lot, but it's progress! Things are moving! If you've been waiting for yours, stay tuned, I'll be reaching out to you soon.

I've been exploring my musical passions too, trying my hand at composing something "from scratch." It's going very well and I'm quite proud of the results. That should be up and available relatively soon.

Oh! AND I'm back on gamedev stuff! I've been struggling, and it's been terrible because GameMaker Studio 2 sucks, but I'm slowly wrangling it into something playable. No ETA on that but I've been wanting to kick my ass in gear and get something done.

Again, thank you all so so soooo much for everything. You are all the reason I'm here at all, and It means the world to me that anyone cares about anything I do. Thank you <3
