Update for: Core, Slowness, and Week Semi-Hiatus
  Core, Slowness, and Week Semi-HiatusWell, it was a very nice treat to have a pretty page, thank you again Soulia!  <3 <3  That was a pleasant surprise!
Maybe next time I'll be able to actually finish setting it up hehe. So just ignore those "spare" folders I just really want to have the ability to organize sub folders man. ;_;
As for my arm, my bicep and shoulder are really, really hurting. I've been trying to push myself through to draw but my physical therapist is fussing at me for overworking it as the bicep is tearing more and inflamed because the tendon isn't holding it properly anymore. So I'm going to have to take at least a few days off to let the tendon and tears heal more and get something figured out for pain. I'm really, really sorry to those of you waiting on your orders for having to ask you to wait further but as quite a few friends and caretakers keep telling me; "It's better to make them wait a week longer than to lose the ability to draw or use your arm indefinitely." 
I don'

Alright, so... hoped the nightmare would end by now but of course, can't have that.

We had to rent a room for the past two nights (thanks to those who loaned the money for this), because there were molds in our ceiling and walls from ill maintenance of the attic and basement (which we do not have access to, only our landlord). We're back today, and things seem to be a bit better, but... for how long? In just those two short days we felt better than we have since we were teenagers... even after my spinal injections and his tooth extraction -- NEITHER of us had any medication to help with pains. But we felt better, we were happier, we had more energy -- WE ACTUALLY ATE FOOD. That just proved to us that a lot of our super-depression fits and fatigue are to do with our apartment and apparently, mold exposure. We want to get out more than ever now... but we're trapped here and we can't even afford rent for this crap. :u

I've been in touch with our lawyer, and we're following his advice. Hopefully by April/May we'll be in a better place financially and otherwise. Until then, I still have to be the one keeping up with the bills. While my back feels better (well, numbed a bit lol) my shoulder is still killing me. I can't afford the TENs unit I need for pain relief, and my insurance won't cover it. We also have to make sure we can keep the car because if things go south here, we might be living in it by the end of the month.

With that said, I'm going to be slow to deliver art because I still have to rest my arm, but I can't afford to just not work for however long it takes. It weighs heavily on me to ask for pre-payment on commissions, much less asking for donations.
Still in a position to accept both right now, but... *sigh* Hopefully soon things will be different... really tired of feeling like a burden on everyone. Does a number for anxiety. :\

Thanks for reading, caring, understanding, and any help. 2016 is going to be a better year if it kills me. >:c
