She's back! Where has she been???

I decided to make a longer post for some of the users who'll be interested:

Basically, a lot of huge life events happened all at once and I had to step away from a bunch of things that were taking too much attention or cluttering my schedule.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING THIS WHOLE TIME?"

"SHHH! I'll get there, give me a MINUTE"

Basically, I had gotten a job interview for a prestigious office job, there was one major stipulation though, I would have to go to full time hours from January until at least May.

I know to most of you, that's not a huge deal, but I was fresh out of my second year of college; I'd never worked full time before!

That also meant having to drop out of college for the time being, until I can discuss more of the full time vs. part time arrangements with my boss.

He's very supportive of me going to school and finishing my degree, and we're going to talk more about that when the busy season is over.

"What do you do?"

"well, I'm personally a secretary. I handle my boss's appointments, and there's a lot of those right now."

But before I started full time, I was switching on a 2-3 day system for my job and classes, and that meant being strict with my time and what I sink myself into.

rDrama, unfortunately, needed to not only take a back seat. I needed to throw the whole thing out the window to ensure I stayed productive

For a while, I was kind of a hermit even with my IRL friends.

(That wasn't wise)

But now I'm also branching out more based on my hobby's, too, I'm actually now in a sewing group that meets on the first Saturday of the month.

I also had my first ever art booth and sold quite a few pieces I made. I felt every accomplished.

Let's see... I'm also making multiple fronts in the business front when it comes to illustration. I'm putting together a real portfolio of work and preparing for being back at full capacity after my arm heals.

"WHEN WHAT???"

"Woah woah woah, ok, let me back up..."

Basically, I girlbossed too close to the sun and had to go to physical therapy for about 6 months to fix some issues I had been having with my arm. Spesifically, my ability to grasp or hold things.

There's flares every so often, but it's much more manageable now.

I'm still drawing, though now it's focusing on getting back into it again. Between work, my injury and some less... happy... life happenings, I lost my ability to draw for a while.

But I'm practicing everyday and getting better!!
