Long Time No Journal!

Hi FA folks, hope you've been well. No matter where you follow me, you'll have likely noticed I haven't been posting much if at all.
Well what happened?
Mostly good things! About a month ago I finally got the position I've been seeking, Full-Time Library Clerk. Hell yeah government benefits. My partner also got a new full-time position at a job very close to home. We don't get to see each other much because we work different hours, but having us both bringing in the big bucks has really helped us get off our feet and be able to survive again. Things got scary for awhile, it sucks to not be able to pay the bills or put food on the table. I'm glad that seems past us now. Even though it feels like the world is burning, at least I can find some oxygen again...
So what's up with art?
Well, I still love it! I just... don't have as much time to do it :( Commissions are pretty much closed indefinitely, but I wouldn't mind if someone asked every now and again. I'm really tired of paying freelance taxes, it's basically cost me more in taxes to file than what I get back out of it. For that reason I'll only be taking a few small commissions a year if any. I'd rather do art trades really!
I am trying to find my footing again, I've been mostly practicing in sketchbooks and I just can't seem to decide what to do with my art right now. Now that I'm not concerned about views.. I'm not really sure what to do! As I ease into a new routine I'm sure I'll find my footing again.
You might find some of my art on other socials that aren't FA because I've been drawing my human OC's more than my anthro ones lately, so feel free to check out my Devianart and Twitter sometime.
That's really all there is to say, stay safe out there!
