Moving house! Yessss.
10 years ago
(In the quite literal sense of moving to a new place, not moving accounts.)
I pick up the keys tomorrow. :) We signed the lease yesterday. And we have an entire month to move with how the leases turned out, which is awesome. Particularly with it being over 100F (and humid ugh) lately.
I'm so excited. I get to have a real desk again (there's no room for one in this 1-bedroom apartment) and room for my drafting table, eeee. I've been missing traditional art something fierce and it'll be nice to be able to get into my watercolors and inks again without worry about them dripping on my boyfriend's fancy couch.
Also pretty keen on getting away from these neighbors who regularly have loud conversations until 2AM but get tetchy with us for watching movies at 10PM and complain that my dog is loud (he only ever barks in his sleep.) I know neighbor roulette never guarantees better ones, but man, I'm ready for a change. Supposedly the floors aren't quite so thin at the new place. Hopefully the "good fences make good neighbors" principle will apply there.
A real house would be really nice, but. One day. Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully?
Not that I was ever officially open for commissions (I just kept getting them and ran that drive one time; good situation to be in!) but I'm definitely not taking on any more work until after we've moved. Just fun stuff for me and the boyfriend in the meanwhile, since I'll undoubtedly have to put it aside to put stuff in boxes soon.
I'm excited for having a proper work space. :3
