I'm truly sorry about this, but here's the scoop... For the past month or two I've been trying to get enough money and supplies together to start up my home business in making jewelry... hopefully to make and save up enough money to go to the local college to learn to do so a bit more professionally... i.e. making diamond rings and the like. Right now, I make what you could call costume jewelry, and its been keeping me busy... But on top of this, I've been having it a bit rough... Lots of bad luck I guess you could say. In the span of a week I've come down with a stomach virus and had to cancel a driving lesson... so I'm stuck with my G1 for the time being. Then, the next day I find out my beloved pet rat Sirius had developed a rather large lump overnight and I had to take her in... only to have her euthanized as it was either a tumor in her lungs or liver failure that caused her to hemorrage... I've been really upset over that... then I find out I have an ear infection which is a bit painful... and then helping my grandad out in cleaning the back patio wound up with me receiving a sunburn on my back and shoulders... And just today I find out my aunt has a brain tumor... thankfully the size of a loonie and operable, and apparently non-cancerous... but its been a very stressful time for me and I really haven't been into my art... I'm going to have a family reunion to plan for as well *sighs* Well, on the plus side, my cousin did have her baby today. A healthy baby boy weighing in at 8 lbs. As I said, I'm really sorry about the hiatus, but I really can't handle a comic at the moment and I don't know when I'll be able to... Man, life likes to be difficult :/
