There goes my sleep schedule and rest of the year. [Help me please]

FROM MY BLOG

Surprise! I got bed bugs out of pretty much nowhere.

I just threw out my mattress and a lot of other stuff and i’m currently debating on just getting rid of my whole bed frame at the moment. It’s currently 3am and I am wide awake cleaning out my room. I Feel itchy all over and paranoid now.

My sleeping schedule is fucked and that’s probably the worst thing for me right now. It’s going to seriously impact art output and commissions which is something I really don’t need right now.

You probably know from my past text posts that i’ve been doing commissions ass a job (barely) for almost 3 years now and i’ve been making progress on actually saving up to buy my own house. So anything other than food and bills that I have to spend money on seriously kills me. I’ve gone over a few extra things in the past too.

I’ve been wanting out of the place i’m currently in for a long time now and this is just pushing it. I am going to have no sleep for a few weeks getting rid of these things. My fucking ceiling has been breaking apart and leaking during heavy rain. We now have fucking mice too. This house is almost bordering on hoarders territory and I’m so sick of it.

If anything, the good news is I am very hopeful that next year is going to be my last here. But it’s all up to grinding out commissions week after week, which is okay with me but it has negatively impacted my life when i’m saving up every cent I possibly can. I rarely, rarely buy anything anymore because i’m always so conscious of the money I could be saving. I haven’t even bought groceries this month because i’m seriously trying to see if I can go through a month on shit like cereal and ramen or food given to me. In fact the only times i’m out of the house is to get groceries or clothing and other necessities. It sucks a lot honestly.

Artwise, i am going to be fucked for the rest of the month, both on getting art out there and the only real way I have of getting money.

I’m really trying not to ask for direct help via donations or anything, as I feel really scummy asking for things like that without them being a commission or patreon pledge, but I really need money for a new bed and possibly bed bug related stuff. I don’t know if i’m going to hire an exterminator or try to get them gone myself… I’ve heard that they’re very hard to truly get rid of and it may take some time.

I would also suggest pledging on patreon if that’s easier for you. Commissions on the other hand… I’m not sure. I have two more to do this week and i’m honestly not sure if I’ll be able to do full weeks after this sunday.

I won't ask for anything more of my current patrons, but I will say that i'm unsure if the next couple comic pages/patron colored images will be perfectly on time. I will try my absolute hardest to get them done though.
