I figured I should make note of this... the other day =sammich put a journal [link] asking for donations to help me with my bills. She's offering art in return for any donation of $1 or more.

I really was not expecting her to do that. Really it amazes that people are so kind... her to start that, and others to donate. I thank you all very much for your kind support.

I also want to offer something to those who donate, a 2.5" x 3.5" artist trading card, preferably of 1 to 2 characters (since it's small), full color copic marker. So if you donate, you'll get art from both of us. (I'll be contacting the people who donated already.)

Health-wise, I'm doing all right. The medication I'm on has helped a lot to cut down on the arthritic pain and swelling. I'm very, very lucky that I live today... if it was years ago, these treatments would not be available.

As Sammich said, I owe about $2000 - $2200 at the moment, and I still expect more bills. This is what really got me under. I really wanted to save money to move to find a better job, so I was pretty devastated when it hit me that there's just no way I can do that right now, especially with my restricted hours at work. I've gotta work harder to reach my goals, but I promise I won't give up!

Thank you all for your support!
