So I'm going through the teaching credential program and things are going okay so far. I can feel the work beginning to crest and about to crash over me like a wave. Still, I did my first ceramic demo in the high school I'm student teaching in and my master teacher thought I did just fine, so he will have me do more instruction for the class. What really make me happy is that some of the students prefer me to stick around while they work in case they have questions. Feels so good to be wanted!

Recently my cat Bob has had bladder problems so I took him to the vet and he has some crystals forming, so he gets to go on a new diet and medicine. Poor thing has been in pain and peed on so much stuff, me and my fiance have had to sleep on an air mattress. The bed has been cleaned and soon the couch will too be sanitary so that's looking up. I'm just SO GRATEFUL my cat did not have calcium stones because that would have meant surgery for him. I could barely cover the vet bill! I'll be so glad to be done with college so I can spend my cash on the stuff that matters to me like my kitties.

As for art, my ceramic claw https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23688912/ won first in Fantasy at a local gallery which is awesome! I still haven't sold it, but I'm hoping to. Because I'm so busy working, student teaching, taking care of cats, cleaning, and trying to take care of my own mental health I'll only be doing bigger commission projects or just working on my own stuff for the time being. I think that's the best way for me to go about things anyhow.
