so good news this time after a lot of not so great updates.
i finally found a new place and moved into said new place. it is so much nicer than my old place. it’s been a super positive change for me. i went from a dark creepy basement on a main road to a second floor apartment in a nice walkable town with a 7 minute commute to work. i even have access to a big yard. i have never been so thankful for natural lighting and air conditioning. my cat crouton is much happier too because he’s a lot less needy and spends all of his time sitting by the window.
one of the many reasons i was looking for a new place was because i wanted a dog. since i lost my dog not having that kind of relationship and bond has been really difficult. and it is SO HARD to find a dog friendly apartment in my area. it’s hard to find an apartment at all. i was lucky enough to find this apartment and it IS dog friendly.
anddddd………
there is a dog. well there will be. but there is a specific dog i know i will be bringing home with me. my parents were wanting to buy me another dachshund from their breeder but i wasn’t super excited to go through a puppy phase when i live alone with 0 help and work all the time. i told them to ask if she had any adult dogs she was rehoming and she DOES. she has a 1.5 year old male with some minor health issues that are perfect for a vet tech dog dad…. i am so excited to meet this boy and take care of him. his name is REUBEN.
i have been really struggling with my mental health. dogs are my special interest and i’ve always /known/ one of my own would be good for me and would facilitate me being more active and going out more. not to mention how motivated i am by training and such, i’m hoping it’ll help me do more than doom scroll and watch youtube. this is going to be really good for me and is just something i’ve wanted my whole life. animals are my everything. hence my career.
i’m planning on reopening commissions in limited capacity soon (probably moreso going to do nsfw ych). i just need to finish what is on my queue which i think will happen relatively quickly. i feel motivated to draw for the first time in forever now. i’m so glad i was literally scared i lost it forever.
part of what’s been motivating me is discovering a new platform that i actually /enjoy/. i was lucky enough to get a bluesky invite code. if anyone has one please follow me here: https://bsky.app/profile/okstray.bsky.social
if anyone wants a code, i should get more soon and my boyfriend sends me the ones he gets as well.
i’m really excited by the potential the app has! seems like the most promising alternative i’ve seen so far (and i’ve seen so many over my time in the fandom lol)
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your YCH's. Excited to see what you come up with :3
Also if you have an invite code, I'd like one, please!
