I'm still, kinda around.

The big news is I have fully graduated from college, after 5 years and one unbelievably stressful last semester. My attempts to pick up a Spanish minor resulted in unneccessary stress, weight loss, and a complete waste of energy. After an upper chest infection followed by severe food poisoning the next month, I was forced to drop one language class (for the first time in my life) to save the grades in my other classes. Thanks to friends and some understanding professors, I pulled through and graduated. I had to say goodbye to my job of 5 years as a secretary since I was no longer enrolled in the university.

The general plan is now is to work, saving up money, buy a car, and go back to Grad School (possibly pick up that Spanish Minor) unless I get a better job offer in the next year or two. Right now a break is warrented.

A month ago I suffered a loss in the family with the unexpected passing of the 2nd family cat, Peppercorn, after a week long sickness. He was rebounding then passed away unexpectedly.

I've been job hunting as my hours have been greatly cut at the personal care home I worked two jobs at. There was a point where I was not working between 2 to 3 weeks at a time. Thankfully, I had bit of a nest egg saved up during this time period.

I picked up a third job at a rest home last week (which is actually quite different from the personal care home), where I get more hours, a higher pay, and hopefully, I can now afford insurance. I've finalllllly gotten a day off starting tomorrow. I've been working nonstop since Wednseday.

I am still working at the personal care home and am still on call. I ended up getting called into work and working midnight shift when I recieved a call that I was wanted to work part time in the Rest Home. Yay?

With some security now, I can continue writing and drawing. I'm planning on writing more than drawing, as that's always been my passion, and thanks to life I've only been able to work on chunks of pieces back and forth when I had the time and right state of mind.
