The good news is that I'm making a decent chunk of change at a new job.

The bad news is that my commute to and from work is a combined hour and a half, and my hours are long on top of that. Some days literally the only thing I do when I get home is eat and then go to bed for my next shift. No socializing, no fun, just desperately trying to get what little rest I can before going back to the grind. x3x

Don't get me wrong! It's GOOD money. Though I'm still pretty set on holding off from big indulgent purchases like commissions in favor of just quality of life stuff. Did you know I bought a commercial freezer a few weeks ago? Holy hell does it allow me to have a whole buncha easy-to-make yummies on hand! Kinda crucial when I don't have time to cook.

Uuuuhhh... I'm still plodding along trying to make something of my lil' drawing hobby, I bought a sketchbook to take to work with me because I frequently get *pretty* solid chunks of paid downtime. Which, getting paid to just doodle and draw funky lil' dudes? Awesome.

I definitely need to figure out a system of uh... collecting references and keeping them in a format that's organized and accessible that I can easily pull up on my phone or computer... anybody got recommendations? I think next solid chunk of time I get off I'll look into that little issue.
