Time to Myself
After well over a month of insanity and school work I have more or less bottomed out. I think it all got to me finally. I am physically and mentally exhausted. I want to be somewhat useful, but I find that the effort to be such is far beyond what I am capable of at this point.
That having been said, I have also had a random stint of creativity. I actually purchased a fountain pen and ink well with the intent to get back to some of my drawing. I even broke out the watercolors one evening! It is fairly relaxing. I only wish I could do that for a living. Who knows, maybe one day I will. I think once I create something I am actually happy with showing to other people, then I might put them on this cool website I came across at work called Etsy. ( www.etsy.com ). It is sort of an online shop for handmade everything from paintings to ceramics, jewelry and I think I saw some clothes. Really awesome place with a lot of cool stuff. Definitely worth checking out. I think if I can get some art sold on the side I’ll be doing well for myself. I may get prints made of some of my photo sets and put them on there as well.
In other news, I may be taking another trip to West Virginia this weekend… then again, I may not. My paychecks have been vastly unreliable lately and it has pretty much ruined me financially. I apparently cannot rely on my paychecks to clear on the same day or even on the same week at this point. If the money is there then I will go. If not… I guess I’m just gonna be bored again this weekend.
Also on the horizon…my BIRTHDAY! I will be turning 24 and I am not sure how to feel about it other than I have a feeling that I should have a lot more accomplished at this point. At the very least I should have a steady job and be more independent. Oh well… it could always be worse I suppose. On the bright side, I get to see Ann Beretta (a hometown punk rock band from my youth) on my b-day. That should be a good time.
I think that is all for now. The job search continues even as leads and opportunities are drying up. At least gas has come down a bit. If it weren’t for that I’d really be screwed.
