Mad world, pretty horse (Patreon)

My current state of mind, I suppose. ;)

I'd really hoped that I would get some stuff done during the holidays, but it seems my battery was a lot emptier than I thought. I then spent the last week cancelling Etsy orders that had been pending since March - rising infection rates in the US probably mean it will be another few (or more) months before I can ship anything there, and simultanously, there have been those kind, considerate people who, in the midst of a pandemic, tell Etsy that I never shipped their package, and suddenly I had another ultimatum on my chest, to refund within three days or have my shop closed. 

My sales are nearly down to zero, and I'm glad I still have my job as a teacher - and YOU! 

I do want to finish Bill and the Black Rider horse this month* - I have a bit of minor surgery coming up in early August, nothing bad, but it will mean another week mostly out of things. I want to get the Dungeons&Dormice booklet going, with a few more images and probably pins to go with it. But most of those latter things mean the world will have to regain some modicum of normalcy. We already have a lot of that here - there's the fear of a second wave, but overall, we can be glad it went the way it went. I hope you're all right where you are. There's so much going on in the world right now, a lot of it pretty scary...

*Oops, and the month is just another week. So, I definitely want to finish Bill this month! ;)
