#but the INVOICES. AUGH

[voidimp]

why are the invoices the hardest part of this round of comms

#like the comms themselves are Fine its going kinda slow bc of work (ive been doing overtime) & also having to clean bc #my parents are visiting next week so my free time is limited but like theyre Getting Done #but the INVOICES. AUGH #pain and suffering and hell forever #anyway i could probably add like. two more $25 colored bust sketches onto the pile. if anyone is interested #JUST TWO thats my limit & then i gotta get through what i have before i take on new ones (i can do a waitlist tho...) #i didnt make form like i meant to but u can just message me #(the reason i didnt make a form is bc i wanted to update my terms first so theres a simplified Summary Version but words are hard) #(also bc google forms is kind of a pain on mobile & i hardly ever use my laptop these days)

Naturally, the minute I have Actual Illustration Work that needs doing in the next month, I have the urge to do comparatively useless things.*

I’m actually looking forward to working on the project, it’s just my brain is being its usual stubborn self. Every day, I hope I’ll get better at prioritizing and time management, and everyday, I wake up as Myself.

*It’s not actually useless if it gets me to enjoy the act of creating art, but compared to commissions, it’s... not important.

#April rambles #this is a shit post #like I truly appreciate these commissions #but the minute I have things expected of me my brain goes off on an idiot tangent #no worries of making my deadline I just wish my brain could be wrangled #knock it off there's Work To Do! #I still want to make human forms for some of my pallanoph characters for no reason other than awww #mostly Qiara and Nok and Neng #is it important? no #would it be nice? yes #Not like I'm great at drawing humans but that's how you learn #sending emails and invoices and wondering if the recipients have been fooled into thinking I'm a Functional Adult #barely but still? #Not enough to be considered a problem but AUGH I don't wanna be like this anymore #feeling like two 18 year olds in a trenchcoat yes I'm a 36 year old adult no don't question it

I shouldnt have too see cozy things while at work thats too cruel

#some shit #we have various shit where im like. oh thats a cool sensory thing. tbh stare. but if its also cozy i just wanna crawl into the shelf augh #we also have various shit thats a senory nightmare. cest la vie. #im losing my one man war against inflation (have been told to stop pricing from invoice if no price exists) and my brain has NOT returned #from whereever it is that is not. in my head so. whatever

I want to start taking commissions but I'll gave to ask my caseworker how to report those to her. grumbles and scrubs at my face. was looking around and PayPal has a built in tax calculator on invoices now which will help me. a lot. for yknow. paying my taxes. for independent income.

augh. lays here and withers away.

#do i think I'll actually make money ? no #guarantee there are people here who just bcus on timezones etc that dont even know i do art. bcus i barely do.

lil vent under the thing im just havin a rough time rn

i am so burnt out in general. everything is happening and im p sure my increased heartrate these past couple of weeks have been solely because i am Stressed Out.

i fucked up several days ago at work, full on switched two numbers on an invoice and sent the invoice to the client thinking it was 100% right. he paid it and then while im putting it in I realize immediately that i'd fucked up and he paid about 540 dollars less than what his invoice actually was.

the second i noticed it was like oh my god ive fucked up. surely this is the end of my job here. surely that means ive gotta go job hunting again even though my bosses are good people.

i contacted the client and got it straightened out, he's gonna pay the difference, we had a little laugh about it because he understands human error and is a pretty good guy.

but i still felt so fucking bad because i know my brain has been fucky lately there's just so much going on and im so tired all the time and i feel like i need a vacation or a break from work but i can't take time off because if i dont have a paycheck then bills go unpaid. im saving the only two vacation days i have left for the summer so ill be prepared to take two days off (day of surgery and day after) and have those covered, before moving into working from home.

there's SO MUCH going on in my brain and it won't slow down or stop or just let me freaking rest for a little bit.

if im not worried about money, im worried about my own health, or im worried about my kid, or im worried about keeping the apartment clean. and its just so much for my brain to handle.

i can almost feel myself getting close to shutting down! lmao i love not being able to cope with things.

i want to do fun things but i have neither the time nor the money nor the mental capacity to do that so instead i just exist. vaguely.

augh ):

malaryush-dolls replied to your post “The wait on the Unoas is driving me insane, just because I wanted to...”

Augh, good luck. I hope you got one! I really wanted to enter, but then my computer went down & I was out of town, and I totally forgot. D: Didn't realize until the day after entries were over. So I extra-hope you got one so I can enjoy vicariously!

Awww noo, I’m sorry you missed out! Maybe they’ll have extra leftover so you could still get one?

I did get my one, Roron in the purple colour :D I’ve paid the invoice and everything, now just to wait....does anyone know how long Unoa Alchemy’s wait time is?

#malaryush-dolls #replies #the unoa problem #now I need to think of a name for them too

augh okay so today i have to like. fill out this fucking invoice. which is gonna suck lots. but i AM going to see some of the people i do activism work with! we’re kinda all across the country at this point because of college and whatnot so we very rarely get a chance to see one another irl :D which is exciting! and then uh aside from that i wanted to read more and get myself ready for school i guess. 

i was gonna do something painstakingly tedious for a college but i realized i don’t actually know how the hell to do it. so i am. going to uh. wait for a meeting i have with a counselor! which is scheduled on one of the most emotionally intense anniversaries of my life. which is kinda a good thing bc i don’t want my thoughts to be stuck wandering. but also bad because i might have a voice lesson that same day and will have once again accidentally double scheduled something 

in any case! love and light i’m gonna take today easy
