Whoops, been a long while. Where to start?
Like most of you, last year kinda turned everything in my life on its head. I left the job at the math center and started working at an urgent care center in the area, and go figure - I'm feeling much better working there with the staff I have than I ever had teaching. So much so that I'm in the process of changing careers and going back to school to study radiologic technology. I've pretty much decided I'll never teach again, and the experience I did have the area schools weren't taking as actual experience. I have to take an exam called the TEAS first, but hopefully I'll start the program this summer. It's a 16 month program so my posting on here might drop.
What else....oh! I don't know if I ever mentioned it but
moved in with me almost 2 years ago and it's been bliss. There's no greater feeling than waking up next to your best friend and life partner. Every night in our house is like a sleepover. Then last year two of our really good friends moved in downstairs. We have a full on furry house now lol
Since cons kinda squished our income from Fuzzy Feelings, we took a leap and started selling our wares at a local co-op early this year. We were only a couple dollars shy of breaking even for our first month down there, but we have high hopes and good feelings about it. We're still very actively getting orders on our Etsy which has definitely helped a lot.
On the art front, I'm saving up for either a Wacom One or Cintiq, though I've looked at other screen display tablets. I liked my Bamboo but I definitely draw better on a screen. I'm looking to start doing collabs or something with people soon too, I've only ever done a couple and I miss doing that.
I think that covers it for now?
