I haven't uploaded a single thing since August. I didn't realize it had been so long. :/ It's kind of sad considering I log into dA every day. Normally I would have had photo's to upload, which is where the bulk of my artistic interest (outside of writing) lies. Except for every 50 pictures I take with my camera I get, if I'm lucky, 1 that turns out. It wasn't a great camera to begin with but it was nice enough. Unfortunately I can't afford a new one and I really don't know when or if I'll ever be able to. And that brings my other news.

I'm five months pregnant. Which is a very good thing! But it also means I'm broke and probably going to be broke for a very, very long time because my husband happens to love his low paying job and I'm not allowed to work right now. And probably not for a good while after the baby gets here unless I work from home. That was one thing the camera would have been good for. I had more than one person wanting me to take pictures for them before it crapped out but I obviously can't do that now! Mostly it sucks because I won't have a camera to take pictures of the baby with. And that's just very, very wrong.

So, we have a baby on the way! We found out a couple of weeks ago that we're having a girl So, we're doing what little we can to prepare for that, she's supposed to be here on Sept. 23. But we're also trying to move in the next couple of months to a house in a smaller town near here so we're a little limited on what we can do to get ready for the baby! Plus, we're broke as usual. But it looks like this is going to be a very busy and very tiring summer!

This is not to say I'm not working on art because I am but being pregnant has slowed me up a lot, and been very interesting in relation to the diabetes, in part because I had to move my computer to the coffee table and the couch is the most uncomfortable place in the entire apartment. But there's nowhere else to move to while we're in this dump. So pray that we get out of here!

It would be nice to be somewhere safer, closer to friends and where I can be creative. This place is part of hell I swear. Which is probably why the SWAT team is always breaking into various neighbors apartments and police are chasing people down in front or ours, guns drawn, all the time. It's not a very safe or healthy place. I don't want to bring a kid back to this dump. That and we're allergic to it because of all the mold. It's been fabulous. Really.

And I'll be 30 on the 4th :/ That's MONDAY. O_o I'm not supposed to be that old!

Anyway, I don't really know if anyone reads these journals I post but I thought I'd do a new one just in case since I actually have some good things to share for a change.
