deemoyzaPhysically, I've been all over the place. Mentally, I've been... no place, I guess? Despite how that sounds, I'm actually doing okay. My part-time job is going well. It's not difficult, and I'm picking it up pretty quickly, and it seems my manager is impressed with me for doing so. It feels good to have my work/progress recognized, particularly by a direct supervisor, like a breath of fresh air. It's also not custodial, which is a super big PLUS. I had one interview for a full-time custodial position, and I have another coming up, but I'm hesitant to go back to that. If I can get another decently-paying part-time job, I might just be happy juggling those two instead of full-time drudgery. Of course, there's the issue of benefits, but I'm so desperate to not scrub other people's toilets anymore that I'm willing to wing it for a while. (Just watch me get sick or break a leg or something now. 🙃)
Creatively, I'm still struggling. I did have a lot of fun updating an old Transistor fanart, and I'd like to put something together for the game's tenth anniversary in a few weeks, but other than that, nothing is coming along. My burlesque act stalled out when I found that it, and my burlesque venture as a whole, was generating more stress than fun (a topic for another post), so I just put it away for now. There's nothing stopping me from revisiting it later, when I'm in a better headspace.
So, what have I been doing, then? Getting sucked back into Animal Crossing, apparently. I migrated my main game from my Switch Lite when I got a proper Switch, and I've been toying with the idea of starting a new game on the Switch Lite, so I did. I swore that this time, I was going to make it a "proper" town, with roads and sidewalks and neighborhoods and the like. And then I went and fell in love with the natural layout of the island, and don't want to alter it at all! XD To my credit, I transformed a lovely little area into a park with a walking trail and carousel and the like, and I laid out my shops and museum in a nice little paved plaza, but it seems I can't get over my obsession with sprawling green areas and trees and weeds and wildflowers and imperfectly-proportioned rivers. That's just my Animal Crossing style; you do you, I'll do me. (Seriously, there are some adorable townscapes out there; I just can't bring myself to make one of them. XD)
Wow, that's a lot of wordage just to say that I'm still here, and I'm okay, just a little quiet. I'm trying my best to take life day by day and not worry too much, and just focus on my job and continuing, somehow, to make ends meet. :)
