I never did put up a February blog, breaking my streak... but given what I did post instead... I think it's understandable.

I didn't get any extra hounding from Paypal that I was anticipating, thank goodness, and with you guys going far above and beyond the immediate goal, I could take a little time to centre myself rather than trying to immediately dive back into my to-write list. I feel more in control now and less like there's a pressing weight on top of me.

Goal Progress: 148% Edit: Make that 219%

You guys are amazing. Seriously.

I'm expecting Paypal's collectors to hound me a little more. The left hand and the right hand may not be speedy in talking to each other, and there's physical mail involved in this process, which slows everything else down. But they'll be hounding me while I have a positive balance to show, and that makes all the difference.

I've been cagey about what's been happening to me.

Part of that is an instinctive wariness of sharing personal info online. And yes, those of you who have worked with me through Paypal are free to note the irony, since y'all know my legal name but... you still get it.

So, I mentioned having a bad December?

January was worse.

I'm going to be brief, because I have a lot of catching up to do, but I have some news.

December's not typically a good month for me.

It's been a very bad month, even for December, so far.

Bad enough that I'd rather talk about it once we're into January and I can do so with hindsight.

But, hey, my commissions are open, if anyone wants to hire me. It helps me keep afloat, and honestly, I've been having a blast with the prompts I've been given.

Speaking of, onto the stats.

I'm starting to feel a lot better. Not perfect, but better.

We're still isolating (thank you local grocery store for having a delivery option) to be on the safe side, but we're all past the worst of it symptom-wise. I'll have to see what the guidelines are regarding time between having covid and getting a booster shot, because if this situation has taught me anything, it's that keeping on top of my vaccinations is very necessary. Maybe I can get my flu shot at the same time.

It's really a case of "when" rather than "if" with Covid, isn't it? And managing to dodge it for almost four years is a pretty good record. That's what I've been telling myself, anyway.

Before we get to the main event, some news on my Ko-Fi.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving for me, and it was... surprisingly nice. I got to talk with my cousin a bit about my fics, and while she's not big into MLP herself, she seems to think the idea of remixing the show into various genres is really cool, especially when I started explaining how interesting worldbuilding is from the standpoint of so many different species existing in the setting, quadrupeds vs bipeds, winged vs non, and so on.

In between working on writing to make up for an unproductive August and September, stressing over my medication, and mentally bracing myself for Canadian Thanksgiving coming up this weekend, something delightful happened.
