Long time no typey
3 years ago
It's been almost two years since my last FA journal, I figure it's time I check in!
You know how they say no news is good news? Well pretty much that! Life is trucking along pretty awesomely. I got out of the veterinary field in April; being a surgical technician was something I loved but the pay will just never compensate for the long hours and stress. I switched over to an AutoCAD position in a totally different field which gave me my own office and a 40% salaried pay increase so that's been pretty nice so far. A huge change of pace! It's giving me a little more time for art and side biz stuff which is always a blessing. (Side businesses are still going well! Our spider enclosure & accessory Etsy store is doing far better than we ever could have hoped for.) I'd been hoping to see about opening commissions again this year but it's still a balancing act with scheduling time for everything, I'll do my best to make it happen again before I die.😂
Charon is still the best partner in crime, he and I looked into buying a house in 2020 but I'm sure you're all familiar with how the market is currently... 😬 We submitted 34 (!!) solid, competitive offers with our badass realtor and none stuck, so we ended up finding a rental house instead. THAT landlord just decided to sell right at the one year mark, for far more than the house is worth, so we just hopped to a new rental house last month. So far so good though, it's a gorgeous property with 500sqft more space. The landlord owns a house next door where us and the dogs have open access to his pool any time which is pretty nice, too. 😉
My Twitter is still the better place to keep up with my day to day life postings. https://twitter.com/Wyla_
Hope you're all doing great too, and of course massive thanks for your continued support on my art adventures! 💖
