I swear...how come I'm this close and yet so tired!?
I am not doing well by an stretch of the imagination...and here I'm in the middle of an offer period on my gallery.
I added another 100 folders of cels to the Crimson Wolf and Golden Boy sections. I still have a ton more GB pieces to add...but energy is failing.
I had planned on having these all up by the time I started my offer period...but something came up and I couldn't wait. So here I am...with days left on my offers...and I'm racing to get this all done!
I know most other collectors are swamped by the amount of back-dates we all have to do. (add sketches, screen caps, and comments and...WOW).
On the positive, after last night my stress levels aren't as high as they were (I love you, Not Sir Phobos).
I didn't even think I could get THAT stressed out again. Now the stress is depleting and I'm left with a decent bout of depression. It's something I haven't had this strongly since before I was pregnant with our first child (3+ yrs ago).
So, it looks like the trip to France is off, even though I should have a week-maybe two to change my mind. I hope passing on this isn't a decision I will regret later.
Right now the thought of international travel without NSP is frightening and surreal. I know it will/would be a trip of a lifetime...but the lack of notice...the fundraising...the childcare...the work-related issues...plus a huge number of more personal things that all seem to have hit at the same.
Thank god for my husband. He is so supportive. Even when I can't see his strength around me. Sent me flowers yesterday. He's a wonderful man...and I really want to express my appreciation and dedication to him more than I currently do.
Wow...this is no longer about cels.
I guess I should stop writing! LOL!

Sorry to hear things are so stressful Marie :( Fortunately you have such a loving husband. I raise my drink to ya NSP! (which happens to be a plain club soda right now) :)
Try not to let these cels get the best of you. I dont remember the exact date of your trip but you could extend the offer period or just go with what you already have up. There are plenty of nice ones!
I wish I could offer some advice about cancelling the trip. I guess... if it doesn''t feel right then you shouldn''t regret not going. France will still be there when you''re ready (one would hope!). Being that far away from loved ones can be a trying experience but can also ummm, how does the saying go? "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"
