General life update. Ivy is now almost sleeping through the night, so I'm less sleep deprived. However, Third still hasn't been able to find work locally, and donations in September were lower than any point since 2005, so I'm trying to pick up a second part time job (third, technically, but one is only a few days every two months). At this point I'm worried that we're going to end up having to move, which I really don't want to do, but there are just no jobs locally. Plus, it's become obvious that my car wont cut it for three kids, so even though it's got another few good years in it and I have no money, I'm probably going to have to get another bigger car that I can't afford and that I will hate driving. The film is close to being done, as is the making-of. That should all come out on schedule. Creatively I feel kind of lost. I know what I want to do and where I want to go but I just have no energy and I have to fight to come up with the will and I'm never sure anyone likes what actually gets produced. (I cringe to read the forums some times). Hoping the release of the film will perk me back up and make me want to do conventions again but right now I'd settle for knowing where I'm going to be living next year. Something different planned for next month for donations, plus I'll be auctioning off the original art for this volume's title page this month to help keep my kids in school/pay the bills. Keep your eyes peeled.
