Okay, so my work is nearly all caught up. Whoo! It's been months and months of nearly no breaks, working on art all day, pretty much every day, but my customs and commisions are nearly all done. I only have part of an adoptable template that I owe Kitty, and another custom posed sphinx to complete (I told them that I may not have time before I go, so that I would wait for payment because I didn't want to leave them waiting for a month).

We've been planning this next part for quite awhile now, next week we're taking a road trip across Canada. (I say 'we' as in my family, I don't have a multiple personality syndrome. lol ) We've been scrimping and saving for gas, camping costs, food, museum costs and such, and are pretty much ready to go. I've been working super overtime to try and make money for this trip. It's still tight, and was a bit of a risk, but we had just enough extra to get a netbook on sale. ^^ (I'm typing on it right now.) It's so we can have google earth at our fingertips for a handy guide, a place to store music, photographs, rp characters and a dice roller (yeah, we rp while we're travelling. ) and so I can try to stay connected at internet hot spots.

We're so excited about this and pretty much ready to go. I'm going to see if this netbook can handle some art programs and my tablet, and may even be able to draw a bit now and again.

It's still going to be tight on money, we will be mostly camping, eatting from a cooler and are bringing our dog with us to day kennel when we're desperate because it's too pricy to kennel him the whole time (and he would be sad ).

As a side note I've also been incredably stressed for the last few months, so badly that I've bearly been sleeping and I swear that I'm about to develop an ulcur soon due to it. Gah! I can't really say what it is, mostly because it's something private and I don't want to deal with the drama of it anyhow and would rather just avoid it. So... I'm going on a trip which should de-stress me.

We've also had a loss lately when our pet rat Coffee passed away suddenly. She was all happy and normal in the morning, then found still and cold that evening, laying where she always slept. She was always very calm, so if she was sick without any obvious outward signs I probably would have missed it. Poor little thing, she was so gentle and sweet.


So, here is my update. I really need to get to work on the seriously plotted out faerie comic (the others were just silly, quick doodles done for practice), and I have to poke my hubby about writing up the script for them. >.>
