hello!! it's been a while since i last talked about how things are going, so i figured i would share what's been going on for me!

first thing's first, i FINALLY got a job! no more humiliation rituals and job hunts 😭 i just finished doing my forms and will start training 2 weeks from now!! i'm so happy

with this, i'm hoping to move away from paypal commissions(minus vouchers) and, moving forward, try to stick with art offers, trades and general OTAs! just because.. stressing about fees plus self employment forms has been more trouble than it's worth. it'll give me some peace of mind to not have to stress about it anymore

besides that, everything home wise has been great and i love my new landlord!! he's been awesome, and the new area is full of so many friendly neighbors, plus a lot of local cats that i've gotten to meet the owners and learn the names of 🥹

after the past year of being put through the wringer, i think i'm finally happy where i'm at, and mentally i feel i'm doing much better now. my goal is to finish up the last bit of what i owe and close my commissions for good! besides emergencies of course, but i hope having stable income will mean less of those! i'm no longer working a seasonal job so that means year round income yaay

i want to do art at a more leisurely pace, especially now that i'm not stressing about so much

aand that's about it from me, i'm cooking up some more collab adopts with friends and i'm excited to share those soon :)
