Happy Friday for those whose schedules grant them weekend reprieve. Happy Friday the 13th for those spooky souls >3
Uhh let's see! Guess just a random list of stuffs I wanna keep ya'll utd on.
-Commissions are for sure opening June 16th.
Now. The only reason this may change is that I'm switching over my harddrive to a shiny new SSD this weekend. You'll know if it went okay if come Monday the profile info still says 'Opening June 16th.' If it doesn't...💀 We gun cross that bridge when we come to it. I need to mirror them and have the bios change the boot drive and historically my work pc and I get into arguments over shit like that. I built this pc 8 years ago with a friend who guided me through the process but I do recall he was the one who set up the system initially cause I had to run to work and we were impatient/excited.
It's honestly been a race to see what goes first: the 8 yr old hd or the 15 yr old hp monitor >>;
Vacation is in two weeks aa. I will be GHOST from June 28th to July 6th! Cutting my two weeks in half again this year, as I have a concert on Aug 2nd. I'll take another week off end of August I think.
I had half a mind to make the Great Drive Migration wait till June 28th. Two things: I'm only 50% confident the old hard drive could make it to June 28th. Second, June 28th, has been a...rough time of year for me since my dad passed in 22. Last year, in fact, my car started doing the death rumble outta no where and the engine was failing. Aside from the insane cost of repairing it, I was also without a car in an incredibly rural area for the next month and a half. It absolutely destroyed my mindset and ruined most of my summer being so trapped.
I basically got the news about replacing the hard drive and was like 'Yeah, naw. I'm not waiting. Cause if something catastrophic happens on that date or even near it, with my livelihood computer I'll crash out.' You know it's concerning when even your executive dysfunction steps aside lmao.
Oh! Herbie is doing better!! For those I've vented to about that! Slowly but surely! The vet decided he had sarcoptic mange. (Then didn't tell anything beyond that aside from give him Simparica. Oh, no, they said 'go to your doctor for a cream if YOU get itchy. So...thanks.) Which seemed...odd, if it was so serious and devastating. I looked over his vet records for the last 6 months and discovered on Feb he received in one day 3 vaccines, one that needed a booster, PLUS two weeks of apoquel for a hot spot infection on his haunch.
He had the booster on March 3rd, 3 days later he was in emergency. That put him on prednisone for 2 weeks, and more apoquel which apparently wasn't working. A second opinion confirmed what I thought it was-- demodectic mange, brought on by the multiple vaccines cooking his immune system and leaving him open to infections from them. He started losing fur around paws, ears and eyes ONLY around mid May, and by end of May we had him in the vet where they labeled it sarcoptic. (He wasn't losing fur in Feb, March, or April we noticed.)
Combined with his symptoms, and mostly our lack of symptoms (or the other pets in the house, such as KITT who is around him all the time but has no hair loss or itching.) we're sure that it was that. I'm...not happy the vet dodged some of my questions frankly, nor am I happy with them not offering to stagger his vaccines. 'He'll be fine,' they had said. Well, he wasn't. Aside from annual vet visits he's genuinely never had health issues like this.
I'm pretty damn easy going but you don't fuck with my dog. He turned 10 early June, and just this week has begun acting like the Herbie I've known and loved for that decade.
It's been a long year for me on that end. Work wise though, things have been enjoyable and pleasant, not to mention kinda exciting with the various jobs I've been getting! I appreciate you guys so much. I know I've slowed down a bit more but for colored line arts and paintings, I feel the end result has been worth it. It's nice to feel growth as an artist!! I felt very stagnate this time last year, so this is a welcome improvement!
Well so much for that 'quick' journal xD My bad! Thank you for letting me talk though ^^
Stay hydrated, and wear. Sunscreen. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI
