The Life and times of Grant Murdock, volume two.
One of my other tires is leaking now, just after I replaced the two. And that pain-to-find rim. Gah.
Life continues to be frustrating. Work has me driving all over the place, including one store 80 miles from home. I don't get paid enough for this. Most of my check goes to gas alone. Argh. Things are getting to me, and I know this because I can't hold a marker steady. I've ruined a few sheets of paper now with big streaks of color I never intended... or more often, a big scribble of black. I thought french curves might be good, but alas.
I'll get another round of uploads when I hit the library next. I loiter everywhere these days just trying to draw. Maybe I'm not eating enough or something. Either way, I'm going through my to-do list and seeing from there. No way I'm in any condition for commissions. But I'm going to keep trying them requests until I get them right, dammit!
But my fortune cookie yesterday said "Your luck changes completely today".
I don't know. I'm out of things to say for now. Rock on for now!

80 Miles is a bit rough. Can't you demand some kind of negotiation that has them pay for your fuel, or a portion of it?

I brought that up to my boss. He agreed to throw in a little extra cash on te side to help with fuel costs - specifically on the 80-mile hikes. This is good news, mainly so he'll think twice about sending me to these far-off stores. The cost is one thing, but the drive - ugh.

Well I hope you can at least keep yourself entertained during the drive. Books on cds are good. :3 I hope you can get back into the swing of things soon.

Now that you mentioned it, I checked if there's an Audible app for my phone. I may get some books that way. They do sponsor a whole lot of internet goof-offs I like.
