Y'know, I find that in all the time that I've been going through Art Blocks, and busting through them, that one thing has connected each Block to an area of my life that directly affects it... Namely, the stress-level my days incur due to recent events; and apparently, these past few months have been a great amount of stress.

Let me lay this shiz out for you:

Since my last journal I have:

1:Helped move my business out of its' building. All two stories of props, papers, computers, dishes, needed bits of information, desks, negatives, and everything else under the sun. Over the course of TWO DAYS. Needless to say, I slept in late for the following week, and only a week after I had helped moved it out, my legs finally relaxed (They had become horridly chaffed during this process, and with all the movement and heavy lifting, my legs got one hell of a work out; on the good-side, though, my legs are looking fantastically muscley~<3 )

2:Moved work operations (Retouching Photographs) to my home out in the country. While it's nice to be able to set my work hours (It's pretty awesome, I'm now sleeping and waking up like a Normal Person!), it's always a temptation to fool off on something else (videogames, food, phonecalls, stuff), but nothing I can't say "No" to, thankfully. But it is a bit of a blessing, I've been begging for my own workspace (Can't stand it when people are in the same room making...NOISES... while I'm trying to work) so I can be on my own, and honestly, it's been pretty well off.

3) Begun to pay for a few new bills and such. From hereon, I've got my own internet (finally, I guess?), and a whole new buncha bills that are finally helping me get out of debt, rather than cutting me apart. It's a little difficult to make bill payments, but...so far so good?

4:And on that note, I gotta bring that whole bitch to bare; things have not been well for the Session-Household; since moving the whole of the business out to Home, my money has suddenly dried up and gone. In fact, for the entirety of October and September, I was pretty much in The Hole on a daily basis, with no money to support myself, it was a pretty rough touch-n-go run...needless to say, I'm still teetering on the brink of Broke and Kinda-Ok.

During all this, my computer, the one I do all my art on, decided it'd contract a particularly devious and evil Computer Virus that caused me, to no end, much discontent and heartache...it was a bitch-and-a-half. So, I had to wipe my drive, and start off fresh, got a new Anti-Virus (Much stronger and better), and have been clean since then. However, I lost most my ability to produce anything digital since I haven't been able to find any of my Painter Programs (aside from the Basic Painter Classic...which is fine, it's just not as good as 9.5).

So, with all this hitting me hard n' close to home, I haven't exactly been the most forthcoming with any kind of art or...well...anything.

I'm hoping 2010 is much better...

Anyway, can't promise anything of anything, but who knows? I may show up one day with a new character or somesuch. Any ideas?

I will say this, though: I am forever grateful for the friends I have who've been keeping me going through this whole ordeal.

Ciao, Kids.
