Why do people ask me for point commissions when I say I don't do point commissions. It feels like I'm getting ripped off for my hard work.

So, this cold that I've had that's coming up to a month now, over the weekend I seemed to have picked up a NEW cold which means, ontop of the one I had already that has been impossibly slow to get rid of, I've ended up RIGHT BACK TO SQUARE ONE. A month trying to get rid of the first one and doctors are telling me I caught a second one because of the sudden symptoms I had at the beginning of the first one that I'm having right now, and most probably caught it over the weekend when I went to bf's to take care of him as he was feeling sick but instead managed to get all nicely healed up and everything by friday night.

I ain't going NOWHERE ANYMORE. I am STAYING PUT till this fucking thing passes. I'm on another fucking prescription for it because I ran out of my other one. I've been through one big container of Benylin All-In-One, half of the Cough and Chest Congestion (from when the cold began in august), most of one prescription which was for cough only, and now on a new one which is same as the old one but works on decongestant as well. Problem is it too has codine so I'm stuck being a blubbering half-asleep seal for god knows how long till I start actually getting better.

If I'm not seeing major results in a week, I'm filling out one of the antibiotic prescriptions (I have two but was told to only use if nothings working as, being sick for as long as I have, it might not be a cold). I will find a fucking solution to this problem one damned way or another.

My right arm, the one I use to draw with, is feeling weird. The pinky keeps feeling like it's half asleep, the elbow feels like i poked that dent between the bones and hit a nerve, and my wrist just feel TIRED. I really hope it's just from sleeping on it wrong. Guess I'll take the night off and let it heal.

Hmm, while I can't say with any certainty, you might want to keep an eye out for signs of something like carpal tunnel or tennis elbow, it's really easy to get depending on how you place your arm/wrist while at the computer.

That's why I'm hoping I only slept on it wrong. Fingertip is still fuzzy feeling but everything else is starting to go away.
I rolled up a towel to rest my arm on when I work, have restarted the 20/5 system, and I plan to adjust my tablet settings this week to see if that helps my death grip on the pen. Giving some serious thought to learning to draw with my left hand too. But that will take some time.

You might have Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Those sound like the symptoms, but I'm no doctor so I can't really say for sure.

Best bet is to go vist a doctor. Even if it's nothing better to be safe then sorry imo.

If your elbow is not parallel with your wrist (ie. at an angle) you are pinching the nerve. This happened to me for a while. If you can put a towel under you elbow to elevate it. :mrgreen:

What the fuck Blizz, why do you keep pushing maintenance forward an hour and posting that its been extended AFTER we've passed the hour it was supposed to be up. First it was supposed to be, as the norm, 11am, then I saw it moved to 1pm, and AFTER 1pm, like 15min later, you rewrite the number to say 2pm.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH PEOPLE EXTENDING DOWNTIME WITH LAST SECOND, and rather late, WARNING???

/points accusing finger at Blizz and Flight Rising

I am SICK of last second announcement to extended downtime. And just last second announcement to downtime in general. I'm sick of the last second announcements, sick and tired of it.

Could be because your sick that its delayed. It seems to require a degree of energy that extreme physical exertion like exercise or being fairly sick likes to hog all for itself. I've often been late because of a hell of a nasty cold or if I've been exceptionally stressed or rather active more than I usually am physically

ALDJNFAEOKBGNARFJGNOAERTGNOAFBN Someone just asked if I take ref sheet commissions.
I don't even have refs for my own character! And two friends, who I trust a great deal, both said I better charge at least $100 for it. I know I need to actually charge what my time is worth but DAMN THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO ME. Waiting to see what this person wants on the sheet before I quote a price.

On the plus side. My arm is not as bad as it was yesterday. And it's raining.

That feeling when you've been super bored and finally find something amazing to participate in... only to have it delayed/discontinued not even shortly after getting into it.

Well it has been a crappy birthday. :| Cat woke me up 2 hours early, ankle was throbbing all day because I fell over, stupid sprang ankle heal already damn it. Lets see didn't have time to eat breakfast before class because of traffic, fell over again, had to stand in the heat for a half hour because my boyfriend got stuck in traffic picking me up. Had 3 hours of algebra homework to do today so I couldn't go out. The only good thing was my bf brought me a red velvet cupcake and roses, he's so sweet, but sadly he had to teach a class today so I'm home alone.............on my birthday. :cry: :mrgreen:
