*takes a deep, calm breath*

So that's what I've been working on almost exclusively for the past three weeks or so. My mum, who signed me up for this mess without realising the work that would be involved (nor consulting me before agreeing me to it) felt so bad about it that she's bought me a $40 bottle of sake and will also be buying me a $60 haircut (our hairdresser is like a minor deity, and it's always worth the price). I've gotten back into coding for the first time in seven years and am really loving it, but this painful endeavor has cost me three weeks away from my actual paid commissions, and thanks to my slipping up and overdrawing my bank account by $4 I am now $40 in debt (well, $5 now that I've scrounged up every quarter within a thirty mile radius).

The tl;dr of it is this: a hateful, unpaying job cost me three weeks of paying art work and I am now burned out and poor. I will be working as hard as I can to get my current commissions done, and will likely remain AWOL for as while in order to get them done.

I really appreciate those of you who still watch my stuff, even if you never comment; the +fav notifications I get every time I upload a new piece are an encouraging reminder of your presence.
