Gone, but not left

General
So, in time relative to the Internet attention span, I've been quiet here for figurative eons. To be clear, I'm not dead, and I didn't leave/give up on being furry.
I've just been busy with life OFFLINE. Very busy. So busy in fact, that a synopsis of my life since my previous journal here could probably be written as a novella and no one would say there was undue amount of filler information.
By the way, there's no good explanation for why I'm returning. There actually isn't any event that one could say is a pattern-breaker that would push me back here.
Enough musing however! I'm writing now to announce that I intend to begin uploading again.
That's the good news.
The bad news is something that started in 2016, and will continue for an inestimable amount of time. My workshop is gone. Most of it was put into storage, and moved to another storage after that. However, a lot of the materials are now gone, and just about all of the tools are inaccessible, even if I could find the appropriate space to use them. The result: no more new wooden art/crafts/products to be made, for the next few years. Which bums me out, I was just starting to get the hang of acoustic guitars.
Also bad news; money has become a hard thing for me to collect. I've been hired and left a couple jobs since my last journal because I thought they could pay the bills and wasn't able to get enough work to earn what I need to survive. But, if anyone besides myself reads these, I'd like to reassure them that I am currently employed - as a draftsman/potential project manager at a custom windows and doors business, and earning a living wage.
So...what will a guy like "Woodworker Dan" be uploading, if not wooden art? Well, until I find another medium, I have been working on sketches, both of product features/components/patterns, and more general things. Like animated topics, such as living things. No lewd stuff - I don't want to do that for a while, if at all. Actually, in the next couple weeks I plan to upload various sketches of characters my Fiancée has inspired/created (I mentioned I'm engaged, right? Maybe not. Well, it wasn't something we made a big deal about. Not nearly as big a deal as her downstairs transgender surgery).
Anyroad, one of the things I've been engaged in since starting my relationship with my Fiancée has been Final Fantasy XIV (FF14). Since I've been doing more sketches lately, I've found that game and the friends I have there to be a good source of inspiration for drawing subjects (but hardly the only source).
Therefore, expect me to upload drawings using species from Final Fantasy 14 soon. That's the primary news of this journal.
