No Stream Tonight + Other Events

So, this last week has been really weird.  Monday went as normal and I got all my paperwork done (more than usual, actually, which I was really happy with).  I got to sleep at a reasonable time and Tuesday I hit the ground running and not only did a fanart piece I’m rather proud of, but also finished a commission and did a fine job at it.

Then the next day, sick as a dog.  Ratty as hell and having constant headaches and stomach issues.  Those continued into yesterday, I had to sleep in and then spent all day freaking the fuck out for... no apparent reason.  I finally get calmed down, go to get something to eat, and while we’re at the fast food place our car refuses to start.  So we had to get that towed back, and today, the guy calls and says he can’t replicate the problem.  Car starts just fine, but he knows there’s an electrical problem (the clock keeps resetting), so he calls us back but Squeakers had the phone and was working at the time, so... we’re out of a car until Monday because the place is closed now.

I walked a couple miles and back with groceries and I’m extremely tired now.

Honestly, I’m just really not in the mood.  I should, and I probably could.  I’m just out of energy.  This week has been a roller coaster emotionally and health wise and I’ve got a lot to do, especially starting next week.

The week after next (starting September 3rd) I’ll be opening up the Halloween ‘18 pics.  I’ll have information posted then, but I have to do the example pic, as well as finishing something I promised I’d have done, finishing Fernin’s second picture, and doing the Eddie wallpaper for next month.

I’ve got a lot of financial strain coming up.  This car stuff is going to dent into what we’ve already saved up.  We should still be able to cover rent, but depending on how much needs to get fixed, we could run anywhere between $100 and $500 extra on top of what we’ve already got to pay.  In addition, Dicy’s second and third tuition payments (both $424) come up on Sept. 20th and October 4th, the latter of which is also when our rent is due (about $850).

Now, I don’t have to cover that ALL by myself, Dicy and Squeakers both have jobs that pull in a good bit, but we also have groceries, the cable bill, the electric bill, storage, gas (if we get our car back running), public transport, and other stuff to factor in.

This is why I’m constantly pushing for commissions and piling more stuff on because I don’t have time to catch up.  I just need more to make things stay together.  And it’s just for a little while longer, it’s just, I have a hard time keeping my stamina up.  I’m just really overwhelmed.

My anxiety isn’t even that bad anymore, I’m just tired.

So anyway, I hate cutting out with only one and a half streams this week, but next week, we’re going to hit stuff hard.  I’m going to make myself a firm schedule. Not just the one I post here, but a regimented one like I used to do and sit down and get stuff done.

We’re going to try streaming MWF, and on TR, I’m going to be working on the patreon stuff to get that out, specifically the wallpaper and the monthly reward with Cass and Eddie.  I’m also going to set aside time for games and try to continue to organize my sleep around a 6AM to 2PM schedule.

Hopefully, that will sort a lot of it out, give me more time to... live and we’ll see where to go from there.  I got some good stuff at a the grocery, so my diet should be a bit better, too.  (Got to say, the selection isn’t the greatest, but Aldi’s is cheap, if nothing else.)

So yeah, we’re just going to call a mulligan on this one, relax and get things ready and raring to go next week.  

I’ve talked to a lot of you, and you’re all so very patient with me.  I have the sweetest commissioners, I have to say, and some of the nicest friends.  So, I thank all of you.

For all of you here at Patreon, I really appreciate everything you do for me.

I truely couldn't make it without you, and you've saved my bacon more than once.  

If you still want to help, you can always get something from me, either by noting me at any of my gallery sites, or you can wait until the 3rd and see what sort of stuff I have planned there.

Thank you for your time and attention, and I’ll be back... Monday.
