I'm sorry to hear about the surgery. I had one two years ago and was trapped in bed for a month so i KNOW they are so awful.
It's amazing that i see this topic now because god yeah. August was not a good month. My roommate is insane, i'm moving in a week and trying to get my lease problems done (roommate wants me to stay on the lease till nov, my hard drive crashed so i love so many art pieces and comic pages and backups went missing, my work is renovating and afterwards my position will merge with another position meaning i'll be doing the job of two people for the same pay (and it's a retail job). and to top it all off my apartment building god bedbugs. so i'm spending my last couple weeks removing bedbugs from my stuff and buying new furniture so all the money i saved up over the year will be gone. -_- which means that i can't afford to get my first booth at a con.
Lets hope next month is better
