Figured I'll give a quick update! I have been extremely socially drained as usual, this is because I chat a lot more on other places now (mainly telegram and a bit discord), so I don't engage as much on art sites atm.
But; Moving funds are saved up! yay. I managed to get around $500 from my parents, and then saved up the last 1k (had 500 saved). which is good! Because I move at the end of this month, and so all my cash will go towards rent as I that is also a thing lol. On the positive side I will get internet that is able to upload stuff at a decent pace. Currently it takes about 5min to upload something, and if it doesn't end up being timed out it's usually of poorer quality than I am used to. So looking forward to being able to voice chat, game and possibly even stream again.
On the downside, my PC is starting to struggle and stutter - so that is not a good sign D: I really hope it managed to keep going until I have a solid job with regular income again, because with the new rent there is no chance of being able to save up for anything. So far it seems to run fairly normal as long as I keep it cool with an extra fan, and a couple of keys on the keyboard will start and stop at random intervals. As well as struggling to start up some times. But I have backed up all my important documents and photos of my old pets, so if it goes it goes. I'll just have to do traditional art or knit/crochet then and watch netflix/YT on my phone :D
A slight art block is still plaguing me, but I think it was made much worse worrying about finances, so now that I have the deposit ready at least - I feel such a relief. Honestly I did not believe I was going to make it, but luckily June is also tax free month here, so I got an extra $200 simply by not having to pay tax this month :D And that put me just into the green. I am looking forward to what the future brings, even in the year of 2020. I hope it will make a similar trend as 2018 and 2019 for me where the first 4-6 months where the absolute worst of my life so far, and then the end of it just got surprisingly good and I made big strides in my health and personal life. I hope the rest of 2020 will bring some happiness and good changes for all you <3, you definitively deserve it for reading this far hehe.
