Wow. That was a while. Ive been occasionally picking up my Regency Portrait stuff but Ive gained weight, which has caused me to spiral into depression and eat more which has caused more weight gain and so on and so forth. Ugh.

I should buckle down and get to work. But I wont. Instead I am dreaming about next year. Ive got big plans, BIG Plans. Like, Marie Anoinette plan. Oh yeah
