Traveling pt.3!
3 years ago
Hopefully this'll be my last travel update lol
I just finished my 3rd week (2nd trip) to the center out of state that I've been working at the last couple months. I'll be returning there this upcoming Wednesday for another week. I'm unsure if there will be any more trips out there (or just to another center at all) soon after this one, as things are very up in the air, but I'm doing my best to balance things ;w; It's set me back with art progress, since my schedule changes on a dime and one day I think im working a normal 8 hour shift, then suddenly I work 13 hours open to close multiple days back to back. However, the extra income it's been earning me has been helping tremendously with getting my debt paid down. Not only do I get paid for the travel time and the per diem of $50/day on top of my hourly pay, but I'm also allowed to get as much overtime as possible without getting in trouble. After this last visit I'll be paying off my dogs spay vet bill, and hopefully after the next one I'll have a good bit of my laptop paid down. So even though the traveling is setting me back on my desired art progress, it's in hopes that I wont be in so much debt that I feel the need to work so many hours at my job much sooner ;w;
Getting off of that ramble though, I did manage to buy a microphone to use while out of state since there was a best buy nearby, so I will be able to stream again soon and hopefully much more frequently with the new year. I'm hoping this will help me get more art out once my commissions are completed because I'll be streaming all my personal pieces that I've been aching to work on. Ive got a bunch of characters I want to get introduced here!
I hope yall have a wonderful holiday season and that the new year treats yall well! Stay safe and warm this season <3
Edit: sorry if this was kind of disorganized by the way, I'm incredibly sleep deprived after the trip and haven't gotten to lay down to sleep and recovery yet lol

I don't know what my schedule will be this upcoming trip out, but I'm hoping itll stick to just a normal 8 hour shift schedule so that I can make some more progress on the commission pieces I've been working on. I'm still working on the lining for yours, the lines are so close to done hhhhhhhhhhhh I literally had it opened on my laptop all week last week and did not get to touch my tablet at all ;w;
I normally take the first week of January off as a little commission "vacation", but I think this upcoming January I wont do that given how little I've been able to work on things this past month or so. So hopefully there will finally be some updates on progress the week after I get back.
I also hope your schedule calms down, not just for the sake of your art, but so you can get the chance to slow down, take some breaths, and just relax, it sounds like things have been very hectic.
