Hey guys, wassup?

I know I haven't updated in some time (same old, same old.. huh?), but you'll be happy to know that I'll be posting a comic soon... as I finish it....

See, I doodled a comic at work and redrew on my computer photoshop (my pc that my scanner is hooked up to up and DIED so I need to either get another pc or a scanner that works with my mac :C I lub my old scanner...) then I spent a good chunk of time coloring and formatting the panels... but then I got down to the background for the last two panels (well, actually the FIRST two, but whatever) and I hit an absolute WALL. By this time it was late so I had to go to bed for work the next day... so I shut it off and figured I would come at it again after a break with a fresh outlook.. usually it helps to back off and come back to it.

Then two weeks went by... >_o

I went back to it last night, added some things, but ultimately I didn't get any closer to finishing it. So again I put my tablet down to work on it another time...

Then, this morning, something terrible happened...

Not a lot of people know it, but in addition to two chinchillas (Lee and Norris) I have a pet rat, named Hyde.

...Well... HAD a pet rat named Hyde...

We haven't had him for very long, and he hasn't been doing so well the last few days... just out of nowhere got sick... then this morning I checked on him... Ray asked, "How is he doing?..." and I simply whispered, "...he isn't..."

I never know quite what to do or say when I loose a pet... All I could do it just pet back his fur and start crying...

I never really accept that the sudden death of a pet is an unfortunate inevitability... I always feel like their was something more I could have done...

I took the day off from work... too much time to sit and think and dwell... Ray and I are going out later... try to get our mind off of it.. but NOT forget.

...Ugh. I feel like poop.

The comic I was talking about before has a small reference to Hyde, so I don't know when I'll be able to go back to it... but I'll try to finish it soon... I really want to.

Anyway... no need to apologize or send condolences my way... I know it's hard to think of what to say to someone when something like this happens... I didn't post this for pity or too have anyone feel bad for me... I know you al wish me the best.. just wanted to update everyone.
