So I'm sure anyone who actually waits for me to upload and has noticed I haven't uploaded in...hold on, I gotta check, one...two... Two and a half months roughly, back in February. While I wish I could give an easy, short answer as to what's going on over on my end, sadly life is never quite as simple as we'd like it, so I have some info that I need to try and condense into an at least somewhat digestible setup.

Firstly want to say, yes, hi, I'm still alive; though admittedly I don't feel alive, in the physical sense I still very much am kicking. Kinda. I guess you could say I'm more-so just floating; not drowning, but not swimming with much effectiveness. While my new job has been a blessing in giving me stable income, it has also been a curse in that it has been draining me of my energy due to the amount of labor I actually do. Some days I get home, get my work clothes off, and immediately pass out on my bed rather than have any drive to get to drawing.

This does not mean I'm stopping drawing, I'm trying to get myself back into doing it regularly, but it's very much been a sort of 'I get one drawing finished, now I go to bed' sort of deal. I do intend to get back to uploading, at least at some point, but I can't give any gaurantees as to if it will remain consistent for any extended period of time.

As a side to this, any commissions and art trades are off the table until further notice. I know there's a few people that had asked me about commissions and I haven't gotten back to them in forever (this is kind of why I do my whole 'no payment til I've got your stuff sketched' sort of deal) and I may or may not eventually get to those drawings as just regular things in passing(?) but I won't really be taking on anything new for certain now.

On a similar note, I will not be regularly messaging people outside of my close friend group. If you had been RPing with me, or were wanting to, or you just want to get a hold of me because you want to get to know me; yeah, sorry, there's too much stuff going on. If I've personally called you a friend in private then you might have some luck, but otherwise your chances are kaput. I'll still reply a few times on uploads I make, but outside of that, I have a lot of other stuff that simply is more demanding of my attention.

I really hope everybody has a good day, I'll be setting up an upload for today, and then I'm probably going to pass out in bed.
