UPDATES! Vending at UBcon things

****Facebook****Society6 Shop****HALLO!
it appears that the last non-raffle journal i posted here was in October?????
I'M SO SORRY
a LOT has happened since then. there were holidays! and moving! and craziness! and me getting so stressed and depressed and angry that i could barely function and SO, i quit my job. yup. couldn't take it anymore. i liked the actual job and most of the people i worked with, but i got REALLY sick of being told i did everything wrong and needed to be responsible for everything when i was already the best person there. and also corporate started to be really terrible. i was just sick of being mistreated in general. not gonna take that shit from anyone. i've put up with too much crap in my life to do it anymore, etc etc.
so now i'm more or less jobless, as i'm doing art fulltime again. my last day at my job was Jan 13th (which was actually my half birthday lol). it's been nice. i'm on my own crazy backward nocturnal schedule, i'm actually SLEEPING, i don't know what stress is anymore, and i moved in november when my lease was up so i don't have a roommate anymore and that's been nice too. kinda lonely, but nice. thank god for my cat.
i'm living at my dad's address but in a different house (weird set up), so i don't have to actively deal with another person. which...i thought would be terrible for my depression, being all alone and stuff, but i've been good. my mental health is legitimately better than it's been for...many years.
the only thing i have to really stress about right now is my dad's health, which is actually a pretty big worry. he doesn't tell me anything but he's in pain all the time and it doesn't seem great. so he could be around for 10 more years or 3 more months, and that's terrifying.....
ANYWAY, happier thoughts. i'm also teaching myself to cook! i never did previously because i lived with someone who was a FANTASTIC cook, and then there was so much food at/around work that i just never needed to. i'm really enjoying it though. i haven't made anything super exciting/complicated yet, but everything is progress. i have a bunch of recipes saved, so i'm working through them and also trying other things. it's a good time. being an adult and whatnot.
in more recent things, i've started trying to do my monthly free art raffles again. there's only a couple days left in the current one, so check it out! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8640477/ only one winner per month, but i won't do the same person twice, so there's always a chance if you haven't won.
as of today, i ALSO just got accepted into the Artist Alley at UBcon, a local college-run convention. i ran it for three years, then sold one year, and then....the past couple years have been filled with INCREDIBLE amounts of drama and stupidity. so. yeah. but this year the guy running it is making an effort to be a decent human being, and i got in! i don't know if any of you are local, but if you are i'll be there selling prints and charms and commissions April 20-22.
okay, i think that's all i got. it's 6:30 in the morning, so i should really go to bed. easter's this weekend, so i hope it's a good time for anyone who celebrates it. it's also april fools day though, so...good luck with that. i know i'll do my best, lol.
for now, good night!

I'm glad to hear you're doing well and that you're back to art. I really gotta commission you when I got some funds. :D
