Ugh.. hey there.

I'm sorry for my permanent absence.
My time in quarantine has been kinda.. exhausting?

I've become a lazy piece of shizz who's only eating, sleeping and video gaming all day long.
Oh and reading! Yeah.. I'm literally consuming the whole "Made in Abyss" Manga series.
Also, art blocks are hunting me for weeks now, but I don't really care anymore.

I still go to work, which makes me feel not completely useless.
..but my motivation for drawing is.. hmm.. not gone yet, but incredibly weak?
Well, it'll be getting better again soon. I'm sure.

There were also some personal problems which gave me a hard time again,
but the main reason why I'm kinda inactive around here is because I've seen
that deviantArt seriously wants to abandon the old dA-design in late May
which makes me really angry.

Because I've seen too many artists here hating the Eclipse design.. and a bunch were trying to
stop the dA-staff to enforce it with petitions and stuff. Even though they know that almost
everyone doesn't want it, they don't care about us artists.
And that's sad. Really, really sad!

So that's why alot of amazing artists are leaving dA.
I really don't want to leave since I grew up at this place.. but in the end,
I won't have a choice but leaving too, because everything about Eclipse f*cks me up.
Hah. Let's wait and see.


..but for now, I'll have to check my messages.
I haven't been online for about 2 months or so. ^^;
There are.. lots..lots.. and even more lots of notifications. Holy moly.

Give me a few days to get myself through them all.
I'll respond to everyone. ♥

Hey there, my dear peeps~

uhm..
ya'll probably know this "New Year, New Me"-thingy, right?
Hah.. well. I think the fate of 2020 took it too seriously on me already.

I broke up with my boyfriend the last week.
And I really don't wanna talk further about it.

I just wanna let ya'll know that I was having
another hard time because of it.
I know, I've announced in my last journal that
I'll be back in the New Year.. but this came very spontaneous.

I'm ok now.. it's getting a little bit better every day.
And I'll go back to work tomorrow.
Also, I'll try to work on my commissions again today.


So, I'm sorry for another short delay, but
I'll be back in the next few days!

Ok, so.. as I've already mentioned it in my status update, a lots of things happened the past few months.
I'll tell you my little story, so lean back, grab some popcorn and listen:


It all started in October, when I've finally decided to move to my boyfriend's apartment.
And I kinda regret it that I've opened commissions back then, because I had no idea
how friggin' exhausting it actually is to move into another apartment!

Anyways.. the first problem appeared.
Since my boyfriend already had a completely furnished and equipped apartment, I could
barely take my stuff with me.. and it was really hard to get rid of my furniture.
Over all the weeks until the final moving appointment, I tried to sell everything from my apartment
as cheap as possible, but most of it ended up as give-aways, since people are f*cking stingy.. ugh.
We managed it after all.

So far, so good.

I could still feel all the stress from moving apartments in every single bone, but I was slowly getting used to it.
My motivation for drawing was pretty weak because of it. I tried to fight against the art block, but I was barely successful.

So.. after I hardly moved in, my boyfriend decided to get a dog still in the same week of moving.
Ok. Sure, why not. I love doggos. So he got a two months old pupper.
To be honest, it wasn't that much exhausting as we've expected, but it has
completely changed my daily rhythm anyway since then.
I had no choice but to deal with it, eventhough it wasn't so easy for me at first.

I suffer from HSP (High Sensitive Person), so I have my troubles with "getting used to things".
It takes up to months until I'm comfortable with life changing things.
So, I was already having a hard time with moving apartments and now that pupper in addition!
Ooof.. yeah, my drawing motivation was completely gone.

Then.. the second problem: my Chinchilla got really sick.
Henry refused to eat and he had a swolen eye with a lot of pus oozing out of his lower eye lid.
Came out that Henry had an infected root canal which is very common in rodents and can easily end up deathly.
So, Henry actually should have a surgery, but the vet was very worried about his health condition, so
he tried some antibiotics first. Luckily, the antibiotics were pretty successful and the infection could subside.
Now Henry's all fine again.

Ok.
Now that was the point where I was pretty sure that I was finally
out of the woods and I can work on my commissions again!  ..but NOPE!
My PC thought it was a good idea to become a slowly piece of sh*t out of nothing..
(ok, that thing was already more than 8 yrs old) so I had to get myself a new one,
which took about a whole week until the new PC was delivered.. meh..
..but now everythings works great with the new PC and my motivation for drawing
came back slowly. I was able to work on my commissions again, but I had to take
small breaks in between because art blocks haunted me frequently.

Then I got additional jobs.
I had lesser time for drawing since then, because I really needed the money.
I basically work as a permanently employed cleaner in a substitution outpatient clinic.
I'm really happy and proud on this job. ♥
I started to offer myself as a private housecleaner, so people began to
recommend me all around my hometown and now I've gotten about 4 additional jobs.
They're all perfectly timed, but it kills most of my free time anyway.

Yeah.. I guess that's all for now.
I'm so sorry to my dear commissioners..
I've never expected that this "hard time" would overcome me like that! Blargh.. orz
Forgive me. I really hate it to let ya'll wait for so long. But I'll be back in a few days for sure!

:star: So.. I wish ya'll a Happy New Year and all the best for 2020! :star:

YES!

It will finally happen. I'll move together with my boi TheHalfBlindDog 
My rental contract will be cancelled at the 30th of November.
There's still a lot to do.

I'm already busy with rearranging and sorting out stuff which I won't take with me.
I think we will start renovating the next week. Yee.

So, I'm actually here to announce that I won't be much active the upcoming weeks.
(I'm already not that much active tho, huehuehue..)

Cheers ~
