Long overdue general update for those still tracking here. Been doing a number of things to try improving myself and my situation. I've had varying levels of success with pretty much all of them. I've moved up a level at work and am now a flat-rate tech. I've found a means to improving a few things mood and energy wise as well. It was a simple change to my diet. I started eating more fruit again, something I used to do a fair bit in the past. I'm guessing it's due to giving my body more things it has been lacking.

Art is still lacking much on activity. A lot of that is still due to lacking real time to dedicate. My shifts are still the same and travel is not really much better. My mental state regarding my art has improved, so that is a change for the better.

Life overall has hit some road bumps. Due to some unpleasant circumstances, I'm stuck in a situation that is forcing a move this month. So, yeah, my holiday is not gonna be too happy or jolly. It also seems that my student loan situation has been stalled, which I'm sure is shared by others. Legal stuff is holding up the forgiveness of stuff done by the disreputable for-profit schools like ITT, which I sadly went to. My approval on it seems guaranteed. It's just held up by that lawsuit mess.

Still got some improvements to make on several areas, but I'm trying. I'm going to be taking a number of things a good deal more seriously. I'm also exploring some options to maybe earn more from things besides my job. I've got stuff I'd like to be free of and other things I'd like to finally be able to afford. It's gonna mean more work, but that's life for ya.
