Thank you for reading this, I know everyone's journal feed is exploding with new years journals right now, and I appreciate you picking mine out to read through.

First a short request for some help, I'm now in a position where I have some extra money and can purchase commissions, but unfortunately I'm having a really hard time finding artists to commission. I would like artists that can draw both feral and anthro dragons, so if anyone knows artists that are taking commissions that can do that, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

Life has been very good, Bemmy came over for a month from November into December and we had a wonderful time, both here and in the mountains, which has become our getaway from eveyrthing. Well, other than the drive back from the mountains, in the middle of a blizzard, on a small, busy highway, that left 14 cars in the ditch and 4 of those were rollovers. That was the first time I've ever done true white knuckle driving, and let me tell you, when all that adrenaline wore off, the crash was... interesting (bodily crash, not vehicle). We're laying plans for more time together soon once things have settled out with finances, and may even be going to a con, we'll have to see!

I'm now contracting with a company that is working on hiring me, so financially things are starting to settle, and I'm making a lot of plans for the next while. It feels like I'm getting the last pieces of the foundation ready to begin building the rest of my life, as odd as that sounds given how good a position I've been in for the last while. It's just that not having that stable source of income has left me feeling like things were a little too in flux.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and has a wonderful new year!
