and their bf gifted me with a printer-scanner after mine crapped out on me. This was MONTHS ago, while I was still without a car. Thank you both again so, so much for driving all the way out here to deliver it!! <333

Also, just--hi, y'all. I was stoked to start rebuilding and nourishing online community last year while still between jobs. FA reminds me of early Internet, and I appreciate it for that. Turns out, AuDHD crept right back to Lurk Mode once my current job was in full swing.

(cuz I work swing shift nyeheheh)

The stress of losing my previous car was enough to keep me distracted from sharing online, too. But look at me now: I've put over 10k miles on Phthalo, my 2019 Kia Niro, since May 8th. I have to admit that having a hybrid is a HUGE boon. I've taken multiple beach trips, drove to my folks' place in northern CA (and continued to a concert in San Francisco, the very first with my brother!) and back, and can drive to and from work M-F with barely a dent in my mileage, even during fall and winter. Feels good. <3

I'm setting my scanner back up now, and hope to actually ~share~ art again, soon. If you've stuck around during the lull, thank you so much. <333
