Hello everyone! I hope the new year has been treating you well. A few things are looking up for me but honestly I still feel like I'm falling apart everyday. Here is as much of an update journal as I can muster.

My partner finally returned to the working world in February and has been keeping us steady. Employment opportunities are few and far round here, he was only apple to get a job via strong recommendation from a close friend and it's nearly an hours drive for little pay. It sucks, but he's a hard worker, and I know promotions will come to him quickly.

I'm struggling to find any entry level positions myself. I'm considering retaking courses to go with my original job plan of Pharmacy Tech, that I failed twice after a bad shakeup in life when I lost someone I was close to. It's hard to find things I'm capable of doing, as my mental health has never been great.

We're still losing our home and we aren't sure where we're moving to. I was hoping to move to the city but lately we've talking about changing course and staying closer to here again, just a bigger area with better employment for less travel time. As a planner with no plan I'm constantly under the stress of uncertainty and it's soul crushing. I don't understand how adults do this.

Regardless, my progress in daily life has been slow, art is not fun anymore, and I've been escaping in books, video games, and chores. I've decided to live off my job earnings and the most recent stimulus for awhile and try to slow down, so I won't be taking any commissions for the foreseeable future. I'll consider art trades now and then, and if you're a regular who just really wants a commission but are willing to be patient about waiting, I will consider those too. Please don't expect much of me for awhile, I'm very, very tired. Know when I do get employed again, I likely will not open commissions anymore.

Not the greatest update but an honest one. I'm just doing my best, thank you for your support.
