Hello, everyone, who may be reading this.

Life has unexpectedly pulled me away from this site and my hobby as an artist. Flu season has ramped up at work, so I've been working almost double what I'd usually work. On top of work being stressful, I've also been planning for a major life event.

On the 1st of November, I will be getting married!

So that's a bit of why I've been away from everything. It's honestly been a huge damper on my mental health as well, but I know it's temporary. We've only got a few more weeks of this and then I can go back to my usual self with the free tine I did have, which in turn will let me get back to my duties here as a moderator.

As I've worked this same job (albeit in a different location) during the pandemic, I really thought that this would be nothing. I was horribly wrong, and most of my free time now is spent sleeping. The wedding is about the only real positive thing I've got going on, so that's helping me move forward, especially on those hard days.

Thank y'all for being here with me and being understanding. I honestly can't recall a time in my life where it was this difficult but I'm doing the best I can with what I've got.
