Holy crap it’s been a while. I got lost in the draining energy vortex of babysitting my niece from February until June. I’m slowly crawling out of it to stream more often, and I’ve been working on art stuff. Live2D is fun as heck guys.

Update Time

So here comes the long-winded update about where I’ve been for people that may have wondered.  Long story short, we ended up homeless, and had to move in with family that tested positive for COVID-19 and we’re slowly putting our lives back together.  Feel free to scroll on by though, I won’t be offended.  Thank you for your time.

Slowly crawling out of my hole to tell people I’m still alive. I’ll make a more elaborate post later to explain but for now, I just wanted to say I’m alive and mostly ok.

Consider this an update to let you guys know that we’ll be moved out hopefully by the end of the week.

As a bit of insult to injury, my laptop battery has decided to die. So. My first priority once I finally start getting unemployment is a new computer, maybe after that would be a new battery.

At least if I disappear mid-conversation or in the middle of a dungeon run because a cat pulled out my power cord, you’ll know why.

Getting Evicted!!!  :D

Hey guys!  Guess what!  We’re getting evicted!

:D

So yeah, the people who paid for comms a while ago know that I was put on a 2 week notice to find a new contract or a new job, and it turns out, because of the pandemic, I can’t freaking get one.  I have applied to so many jobs in the span of a month, and have been rejected over and over and over.  So, needless to say, loss of income.  Problem is, the leasing office said MONTHS AGO to provide proof of loss of income and they’d review things on a case by case basis... I went to ask what they needed and we were told to just pay what we can and expect evictions to start at the end of August.

So we got served our 30-day notice, and we’re waiting for the trial date notice in the mail.  Problem is, the notice we got from leasing SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS THE PROOF THING, so I’ve written an email straight to the property manager asking for clarification, but the expectation is we’re being evicted, and we’ve got 30 days to move back in with my parents and my sister into a single household because I have no income and unemployment in our state is so backed up that people haven’t been getting income for MONTHS.  We’re lucky enough that we got food stamps, otherwise we’d be screwed.  We’re trying to get some kind of help for medical tho, cuz wife is diabetic and could die from this shit.

All in all, not a good time.

To the people I have comms waiting for: I promise I will try to do them as soon as possible.  We’re stuck between extreme crippling dissociative periods, a mad rush for me to find a job, and an even bigger rush to get our stuff packed AGAIN so we can move AGAIN because we’re going to be homeless AGAIN.  Except this time it’s not because I’m getting underpaid for my job and we can’t afford cost of living, it’s because leasing literally won’t work with us DESPITE their claims that they will.

So, this is mostly an update to let you guys know where the hell I am.  If you see me on FFXIV, then for the love of everything, know that hugs will be greatly appreciated.  I’m barely on as it is because I just.  can’t function well enough to even try.  At least I caught up on MSQ though.  Yay.

Little something to try and brighten your day

Yep, getting laid off tomorrow. Making plans to try and manage eviction since the moratorium ends before the month does. If I vanish, I’m still here, so y’all can message me if you need me.

Commissions will stay open because we absolutely need the help, but I have no idea when I’ll be able to get to them.

Figured it was time for an update. Things have been. Bad. Very bad.

I was basically given two weeks to find a new job, internal or external, due to reasons I can’t get into. Today is my last day to have a definite answer on a position, with Monday being the day I have to turn everything in. I had a position I was trying to get in on for months, but with the pandemic happening and there being a number of mix-ups about my level of experience, I haven’t gotten an answer in time. So unless I get an answer today... I’m stuck.

For the news people are more likely to be concerned about: Calypso’s health. Calypso is doing great after surgery. Despite the odds against her, they removed the tumor and her stitches healed up so well that the vet was amazed. They were worried it wouldn’t heal right and she would need long-term care that might result in amputation. She beat the odds there, so we’re now working to prepare ourselves for her next big hurdle: cancer.

Her biopsy came back positive for basosquamous carcinoma. The vet is hopeful that it hadn’t spread, and she’s looking very healthy despite the circumstances. The only health issue she has otherwise is obesity, so the vet is very hopeful right now. We’ll see how it goes, we’re giving her the best life we can and making sure she’s happy and comfortable for however long we have her.

Everyone that helped out to make sure she got her surgery, we owe you everything. I’ll be back to working on commissions again on Monday or so most likely, since by that point I won’t be jumping through hoops trying to keep my job anymore. I’m really sorry about the delay.
