Not much to say, so xD. Just figured I would update this since the other was 2 yrs old :P.

Alright so, here's an explanation of what has been going on these past few months.

May 17th @ 1:40pm, we finally had to put our beloved Casey down. It was hard, and if you've never had to have a dog put down likely the 2nd shot they are about to give is what will really hit home. It wasn't till the vet said: you'll have about lesa than a minute before she's gone. It's still hard to think and speak about.

June 23rd, my Uncle Brandon at 45years of age was killed in a car crash. He lives in Ohio and I guess at the time they were having severally bad storms. He hydroplaned. Hit a tree. Oddly enough it was the passenger side that hit the tree but, I guess it was an old Camaro with no air bags. He was test driving it for a friend who owned it (I guess the guy knew something seemed weird about his car and wanted my Uncle -who was MAJORLY into cars to see what was wrong with it).

June 31st @ around 8am my little dog, Jeremy was attacked. The owner's son (who was watching him) said it was more like rough play. I wasn't there my mother decided once again to walk him in the morning. The dog got out of the yard (I guess their gate doesn't latch the best and the son wasn't as careful) so, this male American Akita came, and grabbed him around the shoulders, and then hips shaking him. It did severally traumatize my dog. He had a few scrapes on him but luckily no punctures we or the vet could see.

The month of June held the Altador Cup on Neo. So that consumed any time I wasn't busy or sleeping.

The local beach bus also began running from Jun 16th-Aug 16th so I made sure to go once a week.

Since the beginning on Feb I have been helping to walk this one neighbor couple's dogs. Twice a day. So that would take the energy out from me.

So yes it's been chaotic. Needless to say especially dealing with my mother and her emotions over all these deaths.

Oh man, from October threw December things have been crazy, not only with the changing of the holidays but, the fact that our one dog, a 16 year old Border Collie, is in need of constant watching. She wants to be active but, her arthritis is SO bad in many areas that she often falls into things, on her butt, or stumbles over all together. If she's laying down and wants up, sometimes she'll thrash like a fish out of water. She doesn't like to be left alone and if my mother is out of the house she'll pace pretty much the entire time mom is gone! So that leaves with little time to do things, or uses up a lot of energy picking her butt up. And this is just one of many things that we have to deal with with her.

So, I am sorry to those I am just getting back to. It's also impacted my art work. It's rather hard to focus on art when you're just ready to fall asleep >>.

Don't know how much longer we have with her.

Sorry for the lack of replies as well as slow photos. But, the software for the camera is on my laptop. Which works for like 15-20mins at a time before the fans kick in.
The laptop is 10yrs old.
So when the fans kick in, if I keep going I then run into the risk of the whole laptop locking up and needing a hard reboot. So, to avoid that I just put it to sleep to cool down for 20-30mins.

Hence the slow uploads at a time @_@

So it has been a little while again since I've posted -well, anything. For those who keep up with me, I'm more social over petsites than here xD.

Notes: At the beginning of this year I finally got a new computer!! Yay!
PS: I can no longer use MSN :P. The site won't let me download the old chat program so now, AIM/IM is the only way in which I can be caught instantly >.>
PPS: Took me a month+ to get Photoshop working on here. See because of Adobe's serves no longer taking registrations for CS2, I was basically screwed not having PS for a month and the hassle of trying to get it to work Luckily someone helped me get it on here. Of course CS2 and Windows 8 are NOT a happy marriage :P.

Anyway, aside from keeping busier than I should. Figure I would lovingly shove advertisements at you as to what I play and anyone willing to be my referral <3!

And anyone who has NOT gotten Windows8, please do not believe the lies of the commercials. It's NOT as easy as they say :P. Hell it comes with video tutorials on how to use it. Really, it's a POS! More of a pain than it's worth. Sure you get used to it over time but, the Metro tiles, CAN DO WITH OUT! Not to mention their 'live' motion (that flipping you see the tiles do on those commercials?! Made me friggen motion sick when done too often!)

I know, look who decided to pop up and show her fuzzy butt right? Haha.

Well, first, once again THANK YOU to ALL who fave/comment/watch. It does mean a lot and I'm sorry I'm often not around when you guys add me or what not.
But, when I explain hopefully it will make sense xD.

So, lately things have been more hectic crazy. Not just with the holidays coming up. But, also things around here. I have a few neighbors that need me caring for their dogs. Which eats up a decent amount of energy and time.

Then on top of that, where my mother normally filled the gap or grocery shopping, I am doing so. And that means buying enough for the whole family.
Not to mention whatever the hell is wrong with her health is taking an emotional and physical daily toll on me. If she's not crying, she becomes enraged easily. And has allowed herself to become weak in physical strength.

So, then in between is cleaning (esp if I hope to have room to put our fake tree up), recently carving my pumpkin, and so forth.

Then! Yes, then, if I'm not terribly tired, I force myself to stay up in to the lay morning hours because doing art work otherwise -just really doesn't happen. I get disruptions through out the day so the night time seems to be my only reprieve.

So yes. And then, in sadder news. A loss. While I had not stated it, a few people knew I was caring for, and in love, with a little fuzzy caterpillar (species: Salt Marsh Moth). I'd found him early to mid-May. And while at first it was a rocky start, we soon grew to know each other. We had a special bond. But, it seems perhaps the day before Halloween, when I was extremely busy I saw he'd curled into a corner and I assumed he was sleeping -because he would at times remain dormant for days till I would arouse him to eat. Another one I had found, has cocooned himself. But, not my little one. The glow in his eyes is gone, and he's shrunk down. I can't find anything to confirm online or not if he's dead but, I fear it must be so.
Soon I hope to upload photos of him but, we'll see.

Lately I've been getting rather wrapped up in all the art work I like doing for the Aywas events. Not to mention the other busy things that go on just daily.

So I'd like to thank any and all who have faved/watched me within the last month. I do appreciate it and I'm sorry I haven't been there to thank everyone of you.

So if any comments are left, please understand why xD

No, not the air conditioning xD.

Well the AC (Altador Cup) on neo is finally over. So, what does this mean? Everything I've neglected for the past month must now be sorted through. Time to do art, *grumbles*cleaning*sigh* and other things. Having to re build population in my Habi (something on Neo :P).

Haha it's rather odd to find yourself used to getting up and playing games for over a month to have it suddenly drop off and now your brain goes: Wait, we had a pattern and now I have to make a new one?!
The AC this year -for those who played it and know, was obviously I'd say the most dramatic year. Though up till now I'd never really gone to the boards, I was glad I did this year. Met some nice Neopians whom I hope to keep in touch with. But the NYYB game is a piece of shit. And TNT's lack of realization that we want the old one back mad me loose a bit of faith in the site. However, I enjoy some players there and it gives me something to do online (AKA it keeps me 90% from shopping xD). Plus when you put in a shitload of man hours into your account and pets you really hate to just walk away -cause then you miss something! Oh well hoping next year I have the time to get AS as some players do nice avvie lends. Next year I want DC to rule!

Updates include that I've luckily had a working sound card and speakers again for a little while now.
I've found some new petsites to semi-play around with. Small so it's not like I have to spend extra, extra time.
OH and never got around to making it but, since my birthday I nolonger have to deal with my poor wobbly Intuos2, I now have the 4 xD. Which was fun the older driver kept screwing up the installation and working of the new one but, all has been fixed.

something comes back to haunt you.

For almost 2 months now, I've been without any attacks from my inner ear ordeal. And then yesterday, I woke up at 3:30am, felt fine, knew I was going to work the next day. Woke up again out of a sound sleep at 4:30, as I was stirring I could feel the dizziness. *Sigh* I really had hoped it was just me needing to fully wake up but. I knew. And so it came back to bite me. I would say it was almost 90% as bad as the very first time it hit. I took half a dramamine and waited. I tried to lay down but, if I moved even a bit I felt nauseated. Had to call work at 5:30am to tell them I was not going to be able to be opening cashier -to a manager none of us likes. I'm pretty sure, she thinks I do nothing but BS and whine. And it was a Sat. Lovely. I took a whole dramamine then. As it is I've been capping out at like 15hrs a week.
And I lost a whole day because I was fighting the dizziness and drugged up.

My hours are not going to cover what will have to be paid for. I managed to snag a monitor for around $140 on black Friday (It's only expensive because they now charge you a $16 fee for recycling. YAY!). But, my graphics card is still shot to hell.
Going to see if the manufacture won't some how cover it. If not then I'm just fucked. That's over $100 out the door when this things like 6 months old. AND then I would still need another one.

I'll have to buy my plane tickets for the con in Dec. Just to keep the bill from being nearly $400 in one month. Just, meh.
I hope to post some other art up soon. I'm working on a project for a friend's brother though. I'm sick of it, and they want all these different versions. Tweeks. To a photo. *Pawfaces.*

After about 4 hours of sleep, something hit me in the early morning.

I miss being in an IRC wolf pack. I'm a lone wolf. All the wolves I used to know, I don't speak with anymore. Maybe one of them, once in a blue moon.

I'm fine to join a pack, though I'd rather be Alphess of my own. However I don't want to create one till I have at least one other interested in joining.

Realistic is fine, I'd prefer fantasy but, both are good.

If you're interested shoot me with a note or send an IM.
