sad Bri is sad but doing better

Edit// I figured a little update was in order.
I'm starting to feel much better than I was last week. I still get weepy every once in a while but I guess that's normal. But at least I'm functioning better.
I'm so just grateful to all of you wonderful people who offered their love and support! Thank you all so much! Especially those of you who were kind enough to cheer me up with art! I really appreciate it.

I've discovered that getting myself back into my stuff is the best idea for me as it keeps me distracted so if you see me around more frequently don't be too surprised. I'm focusing most of my attention on getting some new characters done. I'll probably post a list and see what interest people the most and take that into consideration. Also since I'm going to try around to writing my Tales of Sidrali story since I think I've finally figured out the main plot. Any sort of writing it good for me right now it seems.

I know I've been a bit quiet lately and that's due to real life issues and all the art I owed people taking up my time and I was hoping that since most of it had calmed down I'd be back to my more active self but in the past week we've had two deaths in the family (one on each side) and all sorts of other issues. Now we have to get ready for one funeral on Wed here in town and the other we are still very unsure of.

On Saturday my great-grandmother who has been struggling for the past few years passed and is finally at peace and its left my mom's side of the family a wreck. Fortunately most of us live in the same city so we got the arrangement settled quickly. We all knew this was coming for her and despite that knowledge its a lot to deal with.

And just this morning we were told that my dad's uncle died in a motorcycle accident the night before. He and his family live in South Carolina but his mother and siblings live here so we aren't really sure when or where his funeral will be held.

In other words I will likely continue to be on the quiet side or even MIA completely since I'm an emotional mess and I could really use some cheering up and. I just figured I'd give you all fair warning ahead of time.

I'll try to check in on everyone but most of my effort will be to make myself feel better and for me that means getting some art of my beloved characters done. Anyone know people with open commissions? I have a whole bunch of points and I may even be able to offer a bit of cash once we get settled again.

But for now I'm just going to roll around in self-pity and try not to cry.
