I will get them all done eventually but...if you've been keeping up with my twitter I've been having some issues at home and with my dogs and with my health in general this month. I've gotten tests run and the best I can tell is I've developed some kinda stress based sleep disorder??? Idk, I'm still looking into options but it's bordering on narcolepsy with how quick and often I've been falling asleep and just not being able to remain awake long enough to make coherent progress on things. Whatever it is, it don't care that I'm on the highest dose of ADHD stimulants or how much caffeine I've had, I sleep right through it. And it's the kinda sleep I never have, I grind my teeth in my sleep and am a light sleeper so I wake up and I'm like AWAKE in an instant. The way I've been sleeping lately is like a coma tho, like slack jawed and drooling kinda asleep and I don't know how to work with it.
On top of that the care of one of the dogs is no longer a joint effort on the part of me and my mom, now he's just full time my responsibility. He's partially paralyzed and needs to be hand fed and supported to walk. Used to be, mom would feed him and take him out about half the time and I'd handle it the rest of the time. Well now it's all on me. And he got real sick last week while she was in Florida and I didn't think he was gonna bounce back from it and I was just a wreck earlier this week. I was alone with my unstable sister, and I successfully kept her from finding out anything was wrong and thankfully Ziggy is back to normal now but he's not gonna make it through another scare like that. (I started typing this post at 5:40 something, it is 6:54 now, I've had to leave at least 5 different times before I could get all this worked out.) So mom finally got home this morning and she has another little dog in tow. Says it's her friends dog and we'll be watching him until they get back next friday but here's the thing...mom works at her parents every other week and she was in Florida LAST week....so she was planning on ME watching him on top of taking full time care of HER invalid dog she found as well as the two other dogs (one that has some kinda mental disorder I stg, and the other outranks me in social standing within the household...she's not a problem but she also doesn't really help.) I can't take care of ANOTHER little creature by myself so I told her "No, you're gonna hafta take him to Nana and Papaws with you."...so we're gonna see if THAT works and then MAYBE I'll be able to regain some mental strength to work on rewards.
So yeah...this is gonna be another month were I get way behind. On top of that I can't just pause the next month because I had several unexpected large payments to make this time too. Super sorry about all this, I thought with strawpage being down for over a week it would keep me undistracted for long enough to get stuff done but THAT didn't happen -_-. Sorry again, just feel free to keep adding to the request form when the month rolls over, ain't even gotta wait for my message, just let 'er rip and I'll make it to it eventually. It may take a while but I'll get it all done! (7:20 now, had to leave a couple more times.)

I'm really sorry you're having to go through so much. I truly hope things get better for you soon.

Thanks, I hope so too. Mom's talking about potentially going back to Florida the first week of April too but GOD I'm hoping she changes her mind so I can get a break for a bit TT-TT

Hoping you can catch some kind of a break soon. It's got to be terrible having all that pile up on your shoulders. Thanks for the heads up though, and I don't speak for others but I'm happy to wait as long as you need.

RTSquish

FungusFangs

Christ on a bike. You're stronger person than I, I'd have had a meltdown less than a week in dealing with even half that stuff. You need a hug, a blanket, and your favorite meal and drink of choice

I second the sentiments: I don't mind whatsoever waiting a little while longer for you to feel better and for things to be less hectic.

Life has a nasty habit of coming at you like a hurricane... 😅
