Oops, "quick breather" turned into... a month? 🫣 It's been a long few weeks, but I should be back for real now
Phew, finally in the clear 😮💨 If you're waiting on me to answer commission questions, I'll be in touch after I take a quick breather
Sorry I've been so quiet here lately! Just barely making it over the finish line with my translation work the last few weeks, so all brainpower is going to that 😣
