So another year has passed for this drake, And even if its been a lot of work at store i work at with around 100 hours of overtime. ( that i accepted willingly just for the extra pay) i'ts been alot of fun also got to visit some cool friends down south in sweden during vacation. Got to create a new OC from scratch even adopted one also. ( gonna giver her a proper ref next year).

So you can expect some art of Ulfhild my Vulcanoness later and also some of Freyja my snake lady.

Although i noticed myself i've commissioned around 36 art pieces this year? so that's 3 per month. So i promised myself even if art is nice to get i'm gonna slow down a little for 2025 at least. Cause i'm turning 35 now and realized it can be good to try and take a drivers license instead of relying on trains, airplanes and bus when traveling around. I'm also trying to save for my own apartment instead of renting so yeah gonna put more on Avanza in stocks etc for long term saving.

I will still get art have some projects planned but i'm gonna try keep it at around 10-15 max during 2025. Since i'm also planning on attending both Eurofurence and NordicFuzzcon next year also haven't been to eurofurence in 5 years so hope i can visit new place in Hamburg.

I also have some other news i really haven't talked about much but my fathers health been declining he turned 70 this year in september and i found out now that he is having difficulties breathing due to his heart condition even after surgery he had some years ago. He now is waiting for blood tests on how his cancer is going also. I feel really sorryfor my dad who have to deal with Heart condition+ Cancer in his bladder. But i'm gonna go have lunch with him on 27th day after my bday cause i'm working late.

Cause past few months i've always tried visiting my dad once per week and play some game on PS5 with him watching and just talk about anything how his week been ,just because due to his condition i never know if it be last week i speak with him. When doctors had surgery on him a few years ago they expected him to only live for a few more years cause he has some form of heart condition that makes it worse and worse hence why now he is having hard time breathing and getting oxygen in his blood. So for now they thinking of giving him oxygen tubes at home to help him get oxygen into his blood cause they have told him they don't really wanna do a 2nd heart surgery due to risk of death.

My dad has also always supported my hobby which is the furry lifestyle. He told me he just find the dragon fursuit so awesome and actually look forward to 2nd one and with new redesign of maz i got now well i might get a 3rd one but that be 2029 as 40 year present for myself. Hell even my grandpa who is 93 and also tags along for lunch loved the old suit,and wanna get a photo with new one since he used to act in local theater when he was younger dressing up as a bear so i guess cosplay goes in the family xD.

So atm i'm waiting on last parts to arrive before 2.0 fursuit is done hopefully before february when i travel to malmö for NordicFuzzcon which is around 4600´+ regged now? It's crazy how much it keeps growing in Sweden. Also i held a small Bday raffle with some friends on discord but i'm actually gonna hold a public raffle sometime next year also drawn by darkarlett to give everyone of you who watch me a chance to get a art piece with either Ulfhild or Maz.

But i just wanna end this journal with thanking everyone of you for sticking along with me next year in january i will have been on FA for 10 years. And i'm gonna enjoy my bday with sandwich cake tomorrow as lunch at work cause it's my favorite cake for celebrations!

Update:
Thank you all for the nice comments i had a awesome bday even if i worked since i just went day after and enjoyed some lunch with my father ^^
