Hey, hey folks!

It's been a hot minute and I wanted to provide a quick update. I'm kinda half-asleep rn while writing this, since my sleep schedule is a bit fucked up atm, but I had a few moments after handling some stuff, so I figure I'd give a wee bit of a heads-up.

How's it goin?

Things are okay, for the most part. I am still unfortunately woefully unemployed, thanks to my current location and the current job market in my country. I'm not really here to get into it rn and I am thankfully fine, as I still have more than enough funds left over from my previous job's severance. So, I'm doing a-okay.

However, I do still have bills and charges to deal with, and after a particularly obnoxious doctor's visit that resulted in me being charged multiple times (with no ability to fix it either, cuz lmao, fuck me), I did get smacked in the jaw with some shitty bills.

Because of this, in an attempt to soften the blow + cover a few things that I need to handle + want to get still, I'll be opening up for COMMISSIONS, for the first time in a hot minute.

More on that later!

I can't say too much is going on though. It's a lot of job applications, rejections, and the only places that have called me back have shit pay/shit hours/shit conditions. Things, however, should get better in a month or two, since I may end up moving with my hubby elsewhere, since his training will be done and he has some good options to pick from, career-wise. This will also allow me to have more options myself + kinda pump some life into my career prospects again.

Until then? It's just a lot of writing, trying to practice art, and trying to get stuff in life together, via employment or trying to find good IT cert programs.

We'll get there. Things could be better, yeah, but I think I'm doing fine for now.

Commissions????

This isn't a "formal opening" journal. This is more of a "aight, fine, I'm probs gonna do it soon."

I know writing commissions aren't nearly as popular as art commissions, but writing is obviously the thing I do best, so I will be opening up for writing commissions soon(TM). However, since I still like to work on my own stuff, between art practice + writing + trying to get my own novels together + other life shit, I am taking steps to avoid burn-out, since last period was a bit ROUGH on me, since it was a lot to work with.

Rn, I'm thinking of doing 4 active slots that I will be working on at a time, with 4 "waiting room" slots, that I will work on once the active queue is completed. I'll do a period where I open, and after I close, I'll take a look and select what I feel works best.

There will be more info here soon! I still am getting things together and I have a few friends that have been invaluable with their feedback on how to best proceed with this, since I want to handle this as professionally as possible.

And, uh...that's really it! Not much else to really go on here. Other than that I am doing my best lately, despite all the other shit going on in my life + the world, so yeah. Mostly just wanted to check in and say 'hi' ^^
