First of all, allow me to apologize for yesterday's journal. I was largely venting, but as yet, the situation that I'm in is still unresolved. I still can't make a decision about whether or not I will continue to do commissions or just requests. I guess I still have a week or so to make a decision.
Secondly, I would like to announce that next Wednesday will be my birthday. I'll be 39. *Fluttershy voice* Yay.
Third, here is the current queue, in no particular order:
--2 commissions (1 unfinished comic commission, 1 not yet started);
--2 animated commissions (paid for, not yet started);
--1 commission (not yet started, scheduled for tomorrow);
--1 commission (possibly cancelled);
--1 request, not yet started.
I have to work this morning from 9 until maybe noon or so, but I thought I'd get this journal up before that. I'll let you know if and when I can work on a stream. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

My BBBFF...
It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you that my sweet big brother, Joe, has lost his 8 month battle with brain cancer this morning at 5:30am. He passed peacefully in his sleep at home, in his own room, surrounded by his loved ones. He fought a courageous fight with the love and support of his friends and family. Joe will always be remembered for his passion for life, learning new languages--10 to be exact, 8 self taught--and cultivating his artistic abilities. Not only did Joe have a talent for drawing, he also had a talent for polishing aluminum motorcycle parts, not to mention helping our dad in his shop with the restoration of countless antique motorcycles. Joe also had a passion for all kinds of music, especially classical. His favorite composers are John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and he especially loved Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. He also loved everything from 'Try To Remember' by Kingston Trio to Weird Al--he new every song by heart--but, he especially loved The
Still Alive
As many of you know, I was released from the hospital on the 5th and time has been passing really slowly. I hope you had a happy Easter. Mine hasn’t been so good. I had to have my sister help me type this journal. I’ve actually been quite miserable. I don’t know if you’ll ever hear from me again. I’m still recoverying. I hope the therapists come in time to help my condition improve, as I feel miserable because I’m having difficulty accomplishing even the smallest of tasks. I wish you all the best and i'm hopeful for my own recovery.
Post-birthday update
Well, I was quite tired yesterday despite it being my birthday. My sister had a cake made featuring Avion printed on it, and I think it was really cute. We had pizza and I got some Tolkien books to read. It was good to have my family over for the party, and I ate plenty and had fun. Today I also went to the clinic and found out that the surgeon, on the day of the surgery, had removed mostly dead tissue, with only a small trace of living cancer cells he had to find under a microscope. Removing dead tissue helped, of course, and about next week I will have my sutures and staples removed before starting again with chemotherapy. I'll be looking forward to that. Meanwhile I have been busying myself watching videos about cleaning dirty rugs, restoring antiques, and reviews of Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. Why the last one, you may ask? Well, because I bought a set of 24 of them, and am anxious to be able to finally use my right hand again. Then again... I suppose I could
Two weeks
Well, it’s bee two weeks since my surgery and I still have not been able to regain my drawing ability in my right hand. I’ve tried to use the putty that I got from Encompass Health to help hold the pencil or pen, but my fingers are still numb. I’m somehow afraid to make an effort to improve and I also fear that I will never recover my ability to draw. Should I pray and hope for a miracle? Or should I just call it quits and move on? It certainly isn’t looking very promising to me. But then again, I will be 44 tomorrow, so maybe that’s something to look forward to. Maybe I can forget my troubles for a while and celebrate my birthday instead.
