Life Gets in the Way

So, many of you may have noticed that there's been a big gap since I've updated, and that I haven't had time to do the fundraisers, etc yet. For a long time I've debated about how much to to post of my life on here, which has led me to just drop off from posting at all... so I'm going to just lay it all out there, and hopefully that will get me to post more often.

Let me fill you all in on what's been happening. A while ago I posted that my mother-in-law was ill. The past month or so, her condition went drastically downhill, and two weeks ago she passed away. My husband was one of her main caregivers, but he's handling it well. We all knew it would end this way, and she passed peacefully, so we couldn't ask for more than that.

Now we're finally back in California, ready to finally get grounded here, after leaving Japan two years ago, and hopping around unsettled since then. It's been a really trying time, and we probably won't feel really settled for a few months yet. We have plans to travel to a memorial for my mother-in-law next month, then we'll be moving again, then we have more big travel plans for Europe to visit friends who were married last year. Sounds exciting in a way, but it's pretty tiring, and I'm really looking forward to a time when I can actually get some art done and get ahead on things with yaoifix.

So that's my ramble of what's going on. Don't know if anyone's really interested, but I'm going to do my best to post here regularly, even if it's just whatever about my daily life, what I'm working on for the site, etc.

Thanks,
