Life Update
A big issue with having been largely self employed is that I... don't really know the difference between a normal amount of not enjoying your job and a "holy shit get out" amount. Or how much of the "normal" amount is the result of toxic work-until-you-die capitalism!!!
I just want enough money to not be a burden to others and a way of earning it that doesn't overwhelm me. :(
Life update
So for the last two weeks I've been working a Real People Job, opening boxes and lifting things for a big box store. I'm not sure if it's a good fit for me, but I'm trying to tough it out. It's part-time, but consumes enough of my energy that I haven't really gotten to do much else. I miss drawing.
Three weeks until I visit England, two months until I finally shed my terrible exoskeleton and emerge anew.
Dreams, animal death, vulture
I'm a little concerned about how easily dream-me stopped caring about all of the animals he'd neglected, but on the other hand: Stress Dream thwarted by Weird Hobbies. Take THAT, anxiety!!!
Dreams, animal death, vulture
Sometimes I get Anxiety Dreams where I suddenly remember that I have an enormous number of pets that I've been completely failing to take care of. I check on them and find that they've been unfed, no clean water, and breeding like crazy. Usually a large number of them are dead.
I had that dream last night, this time it was lots of rodents/small mammals. But the dream went off-script when my vulturing instincts kicked in and I realised I could get a bunch of skulls.
Food
Grabbed too many lemon's from my family's backyard, so we combined forces with the too-much-mint in @leafnoodle 's backyard to make some rad Mint Lemonade!
Comics, transphobia
My partner says it's satire but I feel like "satire" doesn't really succeed when it's not distinguishable from the real thing...
July musing
I feel like I've been pushing myself so hard this month. Pumping out commissions, pumping out job applications, trying to go on more hikes with my partner, participating in artfight, doctor's appointments and scheduling and... it's just a lot. I'm seeing progress from it! I've achieved a couple of major goals, ones that set me up for more positive stuff in the future. But I worry about how sustainable this is.
