I've seen a few topics like this before on various forums. Basically, what are some things going on in your life that you'd like to share with the forum?

Right now I'm up in Davis helping my sister with her kids while she studies for finals. I just read a chapter and a half of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to them, and my niece seemed really interested in the story. I did all the voices and everything, just how my dad read it to me when I was her age, I feel a bit emotional now.

I'm working on a cotton dog bone toy. It's an excuse to try out cotton yarn. I should probably also be in bed right now because I have to drive the hubby to work and then start my odd job but y'know. Crafting.

Right now my sleep schedule is severely messed up, and i'm going to be painting my families new house tomorrow running on maybe 5 hours of sleep total unless I catch a nap in the car or something. I've found the only way to fix it when it gets this bad is to go at least 24 hours without sleep, and then go to bed between 8-10 pm.

I'm finding that finishing a greenhouse, stocking it up with plants, and getting new livestock each weekend for three weeks is NOT a good mix when you've hardly got the time to make sure everything is escape-proof. It's awesome progress all happening so fast, but, it's very busy when you're just one person doing pretty much all of it, and you're finding animals runnin' around loose at least once a day. Makes you feel like you took more than you could chew. On the fun upside, my greenhouse has needed repairs since last fall and finally got them, so I can finally empty my house and not look like a plant-crazy person with bananas growing in my bedroom :D

-Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! :D

Well, today's the day I start this job. I'm helping this guy sell paintings on eBay so I won't actually get paid til they're sold. Still, I have to wait til the sun's a little higher in the sky to help the guy out. It's largely photography work and I have a little experience taking photos of paintings from putting my portfolio together for college. In the meantime, I'm getting my day started early by doing my daily exercises now. I've also got a wicked heat rash so I'm hoping sweating and showering will help the horrible itch go away. I need to get out into the sun more often.

Nice, are you getting paid for each painting?

I'm just doing the usual, working a part time theatre job three days a week, trying to save up for an anime convention next month. I asked for more hours but still haven't gotten them yet, and I hope I make enough anyway. I also try to improve with my art to hopefully become professional one day, but I've been slacking off pretty badly lately.

Yes, actually! I'm getting a 10-20% commission on each painting. We weren't able to work out terms yet because he was too busy with clients today and forgot his camera so I couldn't take photos of the art, either. Still, it's a nice choose my own hours type of job and I can drop off some hand made things at the consignment store up the road when I stop in.

That is nice, I hope to have a similar job someday. I'm working on being a professional author.

Speaking of which, I just put up the first chapter of what I hope will be my first real continuous fanfic project for this community.

And now I'm developing genetic breeds like a crazy person

I'm actually going through and making 255 norns of each Rotation Pigment Bleed for one Bleed gene, because I am insane.

I'm recuperating from this now over-a-week-long air conditioner ordeal. [ngrimace] Still hasn't been fixed. I don't know what to say about that, I'm pretty angry.

in better news, I might have a job, though I don't want to say where/with what until I have confirmation. I try really hard to never get my hopes up, but it never totally works...

Not much action has happened lately, since all we can do is wait for job call-backs. I've been less stressed and experiencing less pain lately, but now I feel like I've sunken in quicksand. I've been sleeping a lot lately (12 hours a day) and it's almost worrying me, if only I had the energy to worry at all. Maybe this is burn-out after being so stressed for the past half year or so.

I'm a writer, I'm happy to write. In fact, with my health, writing is one of the few jobs I'd ever get hired for. But being only able to write while my girlfriend is still seeking a job makes me feel like garbage. I know that I should apply my principle of not basing the value of human life on one's pay to myself, and that if I were a billionaire and had no job I wouldn't have these anxieties, but I can't help but feel like just a stone tied around her neck.

Working on my norn breed is one of the things that's been raising my spirits. I do love writing, but with how things are, whenever I hit writer's block I start worrying about money since it's tied to money, and I start freaking out again. But my hobbies aren't tied to finances at all, so when I hit a block, I'm not thinking about whether we'll be able to afford meat.
