October Life Update by sirkain

Been a couple months since did one, time to get with it.


The tenants have been working well here so far. On time payments in full, parents are very chill, dog and kids are OK. Struggling to pay some things but most of the time all has been going well. Taxes are the only thing I am having some trouble to build up enough to pay it off on time for the house tax stuff. But I’ll eventually get that sorted.


Spent like half my income for October on the cars alone for their taxes, some repairs, inspections and emissions and tag renewal on one. The other seems to think I have to go in person to fix, and their online scheduling for the DMV is broken and not getting responses back. shrug Gotta love technology during all this pandemic fun.


My health seems to be good and still in the pre-diabetic range of how controlling my H1A1c’s (what truly shows how well you are managing the disease). Stress is real low, motivation sometimes flops for a day or so but goes right back up to being balanced for a long time. Keeping an eye on that.


Art to draw has hit a wall again. Temper and/or criticizing myself too hard when I start to draw has been a fight to overcome o I draw more than 15-20 minutes before loose the drive. Having more around who draw to jam and chat with in person would help, but nobody around or willing cause of covid. So guess that will get messed with some other time to battle.


As for commissions, yeah still got some going here and there. I recently got TKDye to be able to do another page installment for Intangible with Sydney and Kendall in it. (I haven't uploaded it to FA yet, but he has it on his FA gallery). Another comic project was paid a while back for another page to get done. So slowly getting these projects to move slowly again. And im still uploading old art from pre 2005 when I get the time. SO much top upload and describe and tag, oi!


Been reconnecting and bumping into more I knew from the early days of furry when I first found it. Glad more and more are still around and bumping into them again.


The EricSkunk Bionic Upgrade commission series/journey only has one more page to have made then that will be complete, and be the new main/ideal me version I’ll be going by, The half toon one have had for 7 years now isn't going anywhere, but my heart is more into the bionic one now.


And another character I am not planing to axe, but will probably collect a lot of dust for a while is the inflatable versions of EricSkunk and Kendall. Past couple of years I have had a bit of toxic-ness go on between me and more well known figures in that niche of the furry fandom. I used to have fun in the crowd but if you are blocked from streams to chat in or comment on how nice stuff is folks are making, why stay around it? If talking to some is like walking on eggshells anymore and they don't casually chat with you anymore, why deal with it? If any got suggestions or remarks on this please let me know. Its by far the main circle I have been around and still am in the fandom as a whole, and I got plenty of good friends and acquaintances all over the fandom. So if that one niche just isn't worth dealing with, then I’ll move on.


And still getting more cartoons and shows here and there, getting some new requests by an old timer in the fandom Jamie Malaki and some from KelvinTheLion been slowly finding and adding.


Hope rest of you all are holding up OK. 2020 is getting closer to being over with, but I am skeptical how things will be after the election phase is finally over with. I stay out of politics online pretty much 100%, but im really tired of hearing about this one and the mud flinging that's worst ever ive seen for president elections.
