05-12-2007: looks like April and May will share a thoughts page this year... ah well!  my hope for regular updates hasn't entirely panned out. i am determined to keep trying. Pumpkinness is entirely dormant now, despite my wanting to keep it going. I refuse to allow this story to go the same way. still, we've been really busy, and i've been allowing myself to get caught up in things to the point of forgetting to sit down and draw.
Studio KNH will be attending Fanimecon2007 and will have a pair of tables in Artist Alley/the Artist Colony. we'll be selling our custom fleece kitty and bunny hats, along with some new items -- teddy bear hats, doll clothes and jewelry and accessories! i've been spending a lot of time getting ready for that -- i am one of the people in the house who is making doll jewelry, and i've been doing my best to challenge myself. today, however, i finally carded and priced the last of my ready-made/inexpensive jewelry. the next projects are to price the separate pieces of the five sets of harem jewelry i have already made and tag them, to make one SD and one MSD sized coin belt, and to make two MSD sized harem sets so i have a rounded selection to offer. i've got something to display the SD sized Harem sets on, and i'll be bringing Cyr and Saxon with me to display other items.
lots and lots to do...
and i'm still job hunting. money is tight, and we've two cons in a row. we're attending Dollectible as guests, though, not sellers, so that's a little less stress.

04-16-2007: where to begin?
well... things at work went foom. i tried, i really did. unfortunately, all the trying in the world was not enough to keep me sane, and in the end i ended up making a trip to a local ER for evaluation and from there being sent to another hospital's EPC unit for further evaluation.
the jargon/police/medical code is 5150 -- danger to oneself or others. i was admitted as a potential danger to myself, to be evaluated. i spent most of a day in various hospitals. in the end, i was deemed not to be a danger and allowed to go home with a list of low-cost/sliding scale counselors and the stern advice that the next time i went to work i should be there only to clean out my desk/puppy and to hand in my letter of immediate resignation.
which is what i did.
it was scary, what happened that day. i was very, very glad i'd managed to call home before heading to the first ER -- because i never managed to call after that or have anyone call for me, and the doctor flat out refused to allow me a phone call, which really upset me. i just wanted someone to wait with me while i was there, i didn't expect them to be allowed to go with me to the EPC unit. either way, angel made it there and stayed with me until the EMTs came to bring me over to the other hospital. i burst into tears when i saw her, because she showed up right after i'd been told that they 'couldn't permit me to call anyone.'
WTF??? so how the hell is my family supposed to know where the hell i am and what's happened to me???
it was really, really scary, and i haven't entirely bounced back from it. it took me all day yesterday to draw a comic that would normally have taken very little time at all, but i did it. and i'm glad i did. so, expect regular updates, but not always on time...
