Haven't been on dA much recently. At least not as much as usual. Haven't been drawing as much, either. Been distracted by other things I guess. And succumbing to some primal need to hibernate. :/ lol.

I keep contemplating the idea of doing commission artwork since I'm not working, otherwise, and couldn't imagine trying to suffer through that at this point.

But I have no idea how to go about it. x_x And there are no guides covering every possible aspect of it.. like I'd like to find. It would be pretty nice to be able to earn some money with the one thing I can do, though.

On another topic, Juana (JC lady.. not going into any more detail, don't ask, lol) said not to make any plans for January. So the possibility of us taking a break in Florida are dashed. And so I'll probably have to continue into schooling. *quietly rips some hair out* @_@ lol. Dunno how I'm going to handle taking any classes without Doris, as well as not having T to come home to. On top of trudging through the miserably cold end of the year.

I need counselling, but even that feels like an obstacle.

aaaaaaaaaaaa

nobody should feel obligated to comment on this.. unless you have extensive recommendations for commission how-to, lol. gimme your infoooooooooooooooooo.

Had a nice, lazy halloween. Provided candy for trick-or-treaters.
Some kids seemed more interested in our giant glow-stick than the candy. One bold preteen even asked if he could have it.. a few times.

Also, children are very modest this year. O_O Most kids only picked one or two pieces of candy, even when we were welcoming them to grab a handful. One cute little toddler started reaching for the candy bowl and decided to grasp the glowstick instead. d'aww, rofl.

I have rediscovered the concept of japanese kumihimo braiding, and would like to actually attempt it now. Not that I have any of the necessary supplies.. but maybe sometime I can throw together some makeshift equipment (one of those little marudai circle thingies), practice with whatever string/yarn/etc. that I can find around the house, and see what comes of it.. one of these days.

It definitely looks engaging.


In less-than-desirable news, I have somehow dodged the menstrual-cramp bullet for the second month in a row. When usually it feels like getting hit by a truck. Not that I'm complaining about the relief, but I wanna know why it's different all of a sudden. ~3~;; rofl.
