Life Updates. Progress report.
3 years ago
Hey all! Hope you've been doing well as spring slowly (very slowly) pushes out winter and the days become longer. <3
Sorry things got a bit slacking around here. April turned out to be a rough month. Doctors warned I might be more sensitive to weather changes with the post-stroke damage but damn. Washington gets pretty crazy with the constant changes to humidity, air pressure, and allergies. It becomes just enough of a bother that Tylenol won't make it go away, but not completely put me under.
Worse was the thing I knew would happen ever since the mess with trying to move last year. Our building's fallen into the cogs of a corporate management office, which promptly shoved all utilities on us and raised rent on top of it (citing 'expenses' as the cause, no less) so we get to stress out over an additional $400 costs for a while. I'd like to convince my roomies to rent somewhere still relatively cheaper but they're so adamant about owning property, and I doubt that can happen under this housing market after all I tried. Our bathroom fan has been broken through three landlords now and I doubt these robots will do anything about it in a hurry.
Third thing was just plain old writers block. lol. You know when you see an artist doodle something six different ways before finding one they're motivated to finish? The writing process can kind of be the same way. So while I've been writing almost every day, a lot of it has been attempting the same prompts multiple times cause I'm just not happy with my performance on it.
Regardless, I got myself working through the remains of my backlog as quickly as possible. With costs rising all over the place, I'm going to have to start relying on commissions a lot more than in the past to cover everything. And when I do reopen soon it's going to be with a more streamlined system. Taking long wait lists never seems to work out with my ADD, so maybe a more 'on the spot' style will make things faster for everyone. Streaming might even be fun if I can get over my camera shyness.
That's about it for now. Thank you all for continuing to support my endeavors and all the fun TF that goes with it. Hope to have more content up for your enjoyment soon. Love ya!

FA+

Now everything is so automatic and done online it's depressing.
Although that also doesn't tie us down if we can find something now.
