Finally I think life is settling back to how it was before March of this year. I finally did it, I got a job in Des Moines! It's an exciting new chapter in my life. I move in midweek.

I get off my anxiety meds completely at the end of December and I couldn't be happier. Aside from the obvious drowsiness side-effects, you ever forget to take lexapro for a period of time? It gives you a dizzy feeling and makes you feel like you are being shocked with a battery.

Now that I know I am in a better job I can continue my suit commissions without so much stress hanging over my head. Unexpected life events came up: ambulance ride, cracked windshield, unpaid time off to job hunt, etc.. That is why I started taking the anxiety medicine in the first place. I was having anxiety attacks to near the point where I needed to go to the hospital. I was very unhappy at my current job and I worried all these expenses would dent what money I had in my bank account.

I do still have one goal I hope to manage after I get settled in more here in the capital of Iowa: I want to organize more events for fires on this side of the state who can't always travel far; maybe get the furs of this side of the state more organized. There hasn't really been anything official over here and I am one to take charge in situations.

So that is where life sits right now for me. Hope to keep updating soon!
