I'm still alive, somewhat. Started Physical Therapy for back/hip issues that kinda reared it's ugly head after my surgery. Bodies are friggin complicated... 

I am trying to check in on TH as often as I can, so please bear with me if you submit a design for me to credit or whatever. Or contact me on either of my two DA accounts

On the recovery from successful surgery on the 14th.  Today's the first day I feel strong enough to sit at my computer for a  few hours.  I'm already feeling the improved energy and stamina  compared with the majority of last year.  

I'm going to dust myself off  with a few batch Valentine's Day themed adopts and then I will get back  to the pending Gumball orders.  Thank you so much for your patience

I've just been scheduled for outpatient surgery mid-January, which unfortunately pushes my gumball machine reopening to Feb-March, depending on when I'm able to sit comfortably.  this will be my first major surgery, as all my prior ones were on my arm or leg.  

In any event, I will be back in hopefully full gear next year!

Hi,

I just updated my status and the gumball machine page on my DA, but am also putting the notice here in case anyone with current WIP orders don't follow me or aren't on DA as much.

So.  I had originally planned to pause new orders until my dumb ass gets readjusted to in person work (hybrid schedule) at my job.  Unfortunately this week, my dumb ass decided to kick up my anemia issues to the point where I nearly passed out on my way home in the subway this week.  Anyone with paid WIP orders can ask for point refunds as I really cannot ignore this issue any more (Actually not true. I orignally was going to see some specialists right before we went into lockdown last year. but eh)

I'm now hoping to reopen the gumball machine in the next 2-3 months.  

Just a quick note that I've changed the permissions to allow for trade and resell of all of my adopt designs.  Thank you to Nbuggs to letting me know that was an issue (also shows me how much I'm on here ^^; )
