Hey everyone! 

I know I've been horrendously inactive and for anyone who really appreciates my art, I apologize. I have definitely still been drawing and working on some slice of life comics. I'll probably post them on here until I decide if there's enough interest to make an instagram account for them. (Right now they're just on my main account, but I'd like to designate an art account, but there's no point doing that unless people specifically want that.) 

Let me know if you'd be one of those people! :) I will give links and updates here when I can. In the meantime, I hope you are all well! 

PS-- I still love gardening, haha. :)

Gardening

I've been planting! I'm working on my own little garden on the other side of our property. I'm very excited about it. :) I planted a few trees, some lavender and lilacs! I also have one quince. Unfortunately, the elk or deer uprooted one of my trees (they're just little ones right now) twice so I've had to put cages around most my plants. :( Also I need to get ride of the patches of poison oak cropping up. But otherwise it's been a lot of fun despite the work. I've actually been enjoying the work (except fetching water-- that wears me out every time). I don't have a hose or power or anything down there. Just the creek and a bucket. The more things I plant, though, the more water I have to fetch. Some day most of these things will be well established enough to not need  any extra tending, so I'm looking forward to just enjoying that. 

I also have a small rotating blade mower (no power needed). It's pretty hard to work with when there are sticks every where because the blades jam up so easily. But it's not bad when it just zips over the larger expanses of grass. :) It's been a lot of hot work (I drip sweat), but it's also very rewarding. I'm just imagining myself down there during the summer enjoying myself by the creek, sitting in the shade...etc. I would love to entertain there, too. I'd need some kind of seating, though. :)

Today has been crap. 

I wake up to my mom yelling that we have to get up and tidy the house so that the real estate agents coming this morning have a clean house to look at. 

I don't want to move. If we move, it'll be even further from work (my drive is already 30 minutes and I have to get there by 5 a.m. and drive over 3 mountain passes! (also where my folks WANT to move is over yet ANOTHER pass, that would make my drive time double, plus another pass). And my folks want to move where it doesn't snow. We would be further away from my church (and my best friend)!  

We wouldn't have this big property anymore. We'd probably be closer to neighbors (I hate neighbors). There is nothing good about this for me. :( It's all crap. 

And I found that this puzzle I've been working on is missing a piece (I HATE that! It's brand new! What happened to the piece???). And to top it all off, some dope from high school just sent me a note on here. -_-;; Thanks for bringing up a ton of memories/emotions I've been trying to block out for the past 10 years! 

I'm having a hard season. :(

Well, Beth wouldn't watch the truck like parade with me.

She didn't come to the Christmas program. 

She didn't come Christmas caroling. 

Now she's not coming to the Christmas Eve service, which, I thought, was a guarantee every year. 

Also it's not going to snow (even though earlier predictions led me to believe it might). Nobody is coming to our house for Christmas (except perhaps my sister (and kids) who only ever starts fights with everyone and isn't like she never visits...you know, like every single day). 

This is not the Christmas season I was hoping for. This everything that can go wrong did. I'm not even excited about presents. I don't care.
