I just wanted to leave a quick update for the couple people who have wondered where I have been. It's been a lousy 8 months or so. My mom lost her job and I spent the majority of my days entertaining her.

The end of the year I got, what we thought was the flu, but it wouldn't go away. Then I did a short stint in the outpatient hospital, during which I became pretty ill. Finally, in February, after two consecutive nights in the ER, they figured out I had mononucleosis (and no, I hadn't been kissing anyone). Started feeling better from that, but some reoccurring back pain came back full force and the doctor sent me for some x-rays. Come to find out, I have scoliosis, aggravated by arthritis.

So that's the crap.

The better news is, I've been designing again and opened another shop on Zazzle. The Jumble Factory in case anyone is interested. I wish I could say I was taking pictures again, but I dropped and broke my camera.

More pita news: my mac has been acting funny, so it's going back into the shop. I swear, I got a lemon.

I'll be 40 in just over a month and if this is any indication of how the year is going to play out, I think I'll just skip the birthday and wait until 41.

Hope everyone is doing well! All my best ~*~ Ren
