Hi everyone! Happy New Year and Late Valentine's Day! I hope everyone is doing well.

I am sorry that my gallery isn't showing much activity. There was a period where my tablet was broken and I was unable to draw. Thankfully my grandma replaced it for me so I have a tablet now, and I've been working on Ryodan's reference sheet - slowly but surely. Afterwards I plan to work on Mieling's, but I can't tell you when I have an ETA on that. I work slowly since my attention span operates in short bursts, and I've been having lots of pain in my wrist which has made it hard for me to work. Because of this, I don't take commissions or art trades anymore, either.

My "new year's resolution" this year is to pay off some debt I had been accruing (due to some unwise decisions on my part) and because of this, I'm going to severely limit my spending from this point forward, which means no online shopping or commission buying for the foreseeable future, at least until I get a little more caught up in my finances. I'm not exactly doing *poorly* perse, I'm doing just fine and can survive just fine without needing to supplement my disability income, but I just want to do what's 'healthy' for me and start being a little wiser with my money. Due to being on SSI my options on how I may do that are limited, but without disclosing too much personal information I do know where I can start without affecting my personal finances too much.

I feel like I'm less likely to cave into temptation if I post this somewhere - my friends know I'm really bad with impulse control, and when I want something, I will get it. It's that scorpio in me, lol. But I want to be a little less impulsive, and I want to grow a bit as a person, and that's my new year's resolution. So, that being said, artwork from this point forward will not be commissioned, it will be drawn from my own hand. That is my commitment to myself, and my commitment to you. I want to be a better person and stop being so impulsive with my spending, so I'm going to limit myself and be more responsible.

That being said, I don't work very fast, so my progress here will operate at a crawl, but it is what it is, I'm afraid. ^^; But I love you all, and I appreciate you giving me a watch and giving this journal a read, I really do appreciate it.
