finished comm for @ sundropflowerrs ❤️🌻

I want to be expressly clear that all commissions I have in the queue are getting/will be worked on - but there have been delays since I have been acting as a caregiver for my mother I appreciate your patience in this time 🙂‍↕️

The doctor has ordered a zpack for her - which is $150 with her insurance Boosts for comms are v much appreciated! If you'd like to donate i have kofi, venmo, and cashapp!

EMERGENCY COMMS - things have been getting worse with my mom’s health and after paying $600 on iron infusions this week things still aren’t working if you’d like to donate i also have a kofi - i hate having to ask this but i just want my mom healthy ko-fi.com/milkychai #commission #signalboost

thank you again to everyone who has shared these posts! :’) i don’t really have family to reach out to to help with my mom’s care in times like these so it’s very much appreciated

working my retail job has been a lot harder since all of the stuff with my mom's health decline has started - like it's not even general stuff i have to answer people's in depth questions about smutty romance books when my mind is literally anywhere else LMAO

as a general update: she’s had two more iron infusions since this post and we’re currently working on scrounging up enough for a third - IV this time! each infusion has been $320 :’)

i just had to drop $600 to get my mom an iron infusion i’m so tired of things happening

customer: how are you doing? me: oh i’m doing okay! customer: like okay as in weird, right? me, thinking they meant everything happening because we are in california, in a city heavily impacted by ICE: yeah no things HAVE been very weird and stressful customer: i think it’s the full moon

will be sending out some comm sketches the next couple days!! i’ve also been trying to apply to so many other places for a 2nd job in between working my day job and its been rough 🫠 literally only 1 interview after like 40 apps (and it was a recorded interview with no real person at that)

truly desperate rn so i'm temporarily cutting down sketchpage prices lower than ever OTL

finished sketchpage for samii! #ffxiv #ffxivart #commissionsopen

me: okay cool i can just put up a comm post without urgency behin- of course the car has trouble now of all times

hhh i may update the comm post with urgency in mind since our car is acting up OTL hoping to hear back from one of the jobs i applied to so i can start working abother one on top of my job at the bookstore & comms i’ll be tired but a few months of that would be enough to get be on track

i’m still at work but today there’s an event where people are just drinking wine at a ton of stores and i cannot express how many drunk people i’ve had to deal with in this hallway that is a store in the past 3 hours

i have today and tomorrow off which means comm work dayyyy

bust comm for @faeminz.bsky.social ! 💖 thank you again for entrusting me with your wol! #ffxiv #commission

trying to figure out what to charge for commercial licensing is always a struggle especially for people who are also indie pricing in general is hard but there’s a fun new layer to it for me now LMAO

some guy came in, left when other customers showed up, and came back again 10 minutes later, grabbed a book off the shelf to buy and at checkout was just straight up like what days do you work? oh do a lot of people work here?

tysm for the boosts on my emergency comm post! i've taken it down now that the urgency has passed, but will have a commission post go up tomorrow for general comms in the meantime! i did have other bad news by way of my mom being let go from her job so i'd like to build some buffer but

I've set up a GoFundMe to help with her medical bills. Please share if you're not able to donate. I'm trying to spend as much time with her as I can without having to take on more work. Any support is appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/support-ke...

finished sketchpage #commisson for @itsuff14.bsky.social !! ty again! 💖

on top of my normal queue I had an additional project with a local business that added another 11 pieces to my workload OTL it wasn't something that paid well so once I open up slots after I get updates out i'll likely be doing another batch of discounted sketchpages to make up for some of
