Funny how my last journal was about how I was enjoying my new job...

...I got a new one. This time, it's the real deal. I'll be a maintenance technician in a factory again, except this time I'm making use of my shiny new power engineering certificate and I'm actually going to be making a substantial wage with benefits. I've finally got my career on track where I want it to be and things seem to be looking up.

Jess and I moved into a place we have pretty much to ourselves. Being in our own space has lessened a lot of the stress and my creative muse is firing back up again. We're looking to buy a place after we've got enough saved up, and it's really exciting to be actually settling down for once. Even Jess has been wanting to get back into art and I'm stoked to see new work from her soon!

For those who haven't been around recently, I've had a couple art streams to get myself warmed up again after my hiatus, and I will be working on commissions again, soon. I'm really excited about this, since it's the first time in a while I've been in a comfortable position to allow my creativity to flow. I hope to be working on art and music again like I did 5 years ago.

I thank those waiting on me for their patience. You will not be disappointed.
