Hello everyone,

First and foremost, I'm sorry for basically falling off the face of the Earth since October. It wasn't something that was planned, believe me. I avoided posting any updates mostly just because I felt rather ashamed and guilty for basically posting "excuses" as to why I haven't been able to be on the computer. A lot of my life has changed in a short time and I just felt bad pushing FA to the back burner and I didn't want to face it.

Since October my life off the computer got overly complicated for no apparent reason. Between the normal part time school and work, I've also had a lot of family challenges. In the time that has passed, my mother's health has been a roller coaster which has pulled me away from any sort of free time that I've had. The most recent problem being that she suffered a stroke, and we're working and building back from that. She is doing well thankfully, but it just leaves me making sure to watch her more closely than before. I've also had a minor car accident, and depression problems with my sister. Just a lot to juggle.

All that being said, I haven't forgotten anyone. The wallpaper on my computer is my To Do list, I see it every day.
There aren't going to be any May 4th pics this year. Obviously because I still haven't finished last year's. I am trying to finish most of them by the end of May this year.
And last but not least.
Commissions are currently closed.

My manager at work is cutting back hours for everyone, which is allowing me to be home with my family to help my mother out which I am thankful for. But it also is allowing me a chance to reorganize my schedule and start to come back to the computer for more than just school work.

I am truly sorry for the waiting, the long absences. I will try and make it up to all of you.

Clemi
