Hey gang,

It's been a while since I've written and you might actually be wondering where I've gone off to.

Well, July 1rst my apartment got flooded after sudden torrential rain. Basically, the city water pipes and the sewers overflowed.

As a result, I was living in caca-water and so I took action and by July 4th, I had myself, my girls and my furniture out of the living space. At the time, I had intended to wait until the landlord was going to clean the space and seeing as I was told the cleaning procedure expected to be used, I cleared the space to make it easier.

Well, after a week, I learned that my landlord had no intention of completing the cleaning procedure that was explained to me when I contacted the cleaning company (I'm the one who found teh company and passed the name along to my landlord as well as the info on the procedure). He basically had no qualms about having me live in shit infested floorboards and walls.

So I took action and did everything I could to start proceedings to take him to court. That failed. The City Inspector that was supposed to help me showed up with no equipment and basically just said that it LOOKED livable...:/

That was the last straw seeing as a private inspector would have cost me about 3K which i just don't have...count the time it woudl take to actually take them to court and the fees involved and it was just too much. So July 18th, I moved all my stuff to storage and started looking for a new place to live.

I've found a new apartment, but I won't be in it until mid-September seeing as the people are still living there and only leaving end of August. Meanwhile, I'm on my brother's and step-father's couch with my girls in their apartment.

I have very little space and not much privacy and so I closed up shop on Etsy and I haven't really had much opportunity to do anything creative. I miss DA and I miss my shop.

All I've got is my work computer to draw on and so I try my best to spend at least 2 of my lunches coloring. I often get interrupted though...

I really can't wait to have MY space again, though I very much appreciate what my family has done for me in such a trying time. It's so hard when you feel so displaced.

So that's my life in a hand-basket right now...please bare with me and I hope I'll be able to get back into the swing of things in a couple of months!

*hugs*
