The art of falling off of the face of the earth

So I have been almost completely absent from DA for the last couple weeks. I could say that I was not expecting it but that would be inaccurate. The fact that since the Jewish High Holy Days I have not been able to keep up with what I want to do on DA is what is the main problem... I am not good with three day weekends. And now with the sun setting so early and my personal time shortened drastically and my new job and a ton of other things I have not been able to focus on art or guilds the way I want to.

With that said let me give you all an update of the last few weeks.

Monday two weeks ago I had one of the best nights of my life. I know that is an incredibly strange thing to say but it is true. It was a day I planned for much like I planned for my wedding or trips to New York with my Husband. That day I met three people who are rather famous in the circles I travel in. First was my beloved author Gail Carriger, writer of the Soulless books and Finishing School series. Around that time my father-in-law was coming to town on the bus and I was going to meet him and my husband afterwards to meet two other people. Those two people proved to be just as awesome. These two people are quite a bit famous than Gail, and one was even having a birthday that day. Any guesses? No? Well then I guess you don't Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman that well then. ...So yeah Amanda was celbrating the publishing of her first book and Neil his birthday. We march to the book story and had grand time. When we finally returned home everyone was pooped. The next day I had work but I was feeling really good so it did not matter.

What happened later that week really messed me up though. I won't go into any detail but simply put a problem that I thought was fixed proved to be getting worse so my doctors are now keeping a sharper eye on me.

But enough of sad things. Yesterday was a happy day. Simply put I got my new Pokemon game. I am a very happy camper now, if not a very tired one. So with that I will leave you, Alpha and her team are waiting for me.
