Real update time. I've been down in the dumps lately, mainly because of...well, I guess it's environment issues. Haven't socialized outside of the house lately, since whenever I come home, first thing I see is a mess--and how I don't have the energy to tidy up. Thus leaving me tired and anti-social. Had sinus issues since August, and trying to do something outside of the domain feels like pulling teeth. Besides, the furry drama in the KY community, according to Tom, is horrendous, so it's best I don't even put myself near it. I apologize to anyone actually wanting my company, but I just don't have much drive to do anything. I am on the lookout for a second/replacement job to sit in Target's chair, Spi suggesting a management position at Borders. Now, I will not quit my job to do commissions, I can't fucking draw, and there is no promise in it. In my current days, penny-pinching is no stranger to me, although I consistently feel poor and unaccomplished. Tiny strands of creativity try to break through every now and then, but are only stifled by work/cleaning/irritability. But thanks to Miss Hillary, whoso wonderfully made my first fursona badge, I feel a slight urge to pick up a pencil and paper.
To lift my spirits, Spi says we'll be making lots of trips out of state over the course of next year. Cons, slight road trips, and to the beach again. Maybe Charleston, the land of pirate para. He's also the only one pushing my ass to scrimp and save to make it to FC in California next year, saying "work is important, but so is a vacation". I appreciate his effort to make me see life not as one big rat race. ^^
FC, yes. I thought a few days ago I would have to skip it, seeing as the money situation is booty. However, I am sure Mr. Kitty would be out some cash if Lar and I skipped out, plus everyone might even be mildly disappointed we didn't show. So I'm gonna save, work extra hours, and cheat by putting some things on credit card if I have to.
Here's to success.
