So, there's been some good things happening as of late.

I finally got a summer job. It's nothing glamorous, but it pays. I'm doing the after-hours cleaning at an elementary school, just tidying up classrooms and offices, cleaning bathrooms, mopping hallways, et cetera. I'm on my own and the hours are super flexible, so there's no stress, no time crunch, no annoying co-workers. It's a really relaxed job and it's been pretty good so far.

Saturday through Tuesday I'll be attending Lilies War, the big annual SCA event for the Kingdom of Calontir. The event is nine days long and the Kingdom has an entire campground bought out for the duration. I'll only be there for about three and a half days though, because of work and family and everything. But it should be fun nonetheless. I have to say, as a new member, I've felt very welcome in the group. Everyone is willing to help and even after just a couple meetings, I've already learned a lot and more or less got offered a position in the local Barony. I really look forward to getting more involved in the group.

No art lately, I'm afraid, but I do owe some to a very generous friend who loaned me some money until I could get a job. Hopefully I'll find some inspiration when I'm back from my trip! For now, Hawk out.
