General Update for March

Hey everyone, it's been quite a few months since I did any personal updating outside my deviation descriptions so I'm taking this wonderful moment of opportunity to scribble something down for you guys.

First things first, so that it doesn't get lost, please don't forget about the monthly challenge:
Monthly Feature Challenge: ZELDA

And here's some other events going on you guys might appreciate:
AC Comment Month: March
Aquatic and Birds Month: Intro and Contest Details

My days continue to get busier, which is technically a good thing. When I'm not busy my mind tends to wander down a horribly depressing path, and nobody wants a depressed Pinky. This season's busy-ness comes in the way of making hourly money, versus the "by commission" money I get as an artist. I'm working four days a week at the H&R Block, once a week for my seamstress/tailor lessons, and if you're alright with math that leaves just two days to get actual arting done. Top that off with the idea that I've just applied for a local library job (I really hope I get it!) and somewhere, sometime, maybe I get to sneak a few hours of stitching or beading into the schedule. Even with my sleep deprivation habits I do, unfortunately, collapse into the sea of pink that I call a bed once in a while. Let us not forget that my favorite types of video games are the sort where you have to spend over a hundred hours to beat it, and this only adds to my schedule juggling.

The icing on the wish-I-had-eight-days-a-week cake is that my internet, for now almost twelve years, is still like a fart in the wind, and has literally no sign of becoming any better. We added a hotspot to the house a year or two ago which works alright for small things, like when I have to list something quickly on Etsy, but it's bad for the data consumption on DA. When I get the time to do my CV work it's usually the only thing I can get done in the day trying to load lots of pretty _{(and not pretty)} artwork to sift through for the monthly features and the Daily Deviations. I super appreciate the amount of notes I've been getting for suggestions, it helps me so much and I'm sorry it's been taking me a few days or more to get back to you guys.

On the same note: I've made a point the last few years to reply to (very nearly) everything that comes into my inbox. In the past, the back log got up to around a month before I could have it cleared and up to date. But I mean, right now, I still have messages stacked from December. ;~; This is in part from the stacked schedule and in part because of my utter bologna internet, I just can't seem to get ahead of it. I'm sorry some of you have waited so long!

I... think that about covers my explanations for being super late on everything. It ties right in that because I have zip for time taking photos (see that "To Post" list down there?) is lower on the tier than actually finishing the artwork, so things are stacking up thereeee toooo. And I realllllly need to clean my room, like serioussssly massive spring cleaning needs to be done because it's like a tiny little path I can stand and get dressed in right now and I almost fell earlier this week and destroyed a ton of supplies like
this just can't go on
But when will I ever find the time to clean it
_ahhhhh
