chescaltcWow after months, huh? I never really intended to leave this blog for this long, but since taking a leave from grad school and starting a new job, I haven't really had the time to post (or reflect, really). It feels good to finally be able to write updates on a lovely Saturday afternoon, instead of just lying on my bed doomscrolling online stores and twitter. Not the most ideal rest.
I'm hoping I could continue to this weekly reflection though. Lately I find myself just exhausted from my day job (despite loving the work) that I always seem to be too "tired" to make an effort to build a life outside work. Things are good between me and my girlfriend, it's between me and myself that needs more thought and action. Hoping that coming back to my blog would be a good first step once again.
Okay, so. UPDATES!
Dental stuff, omg. Now that I am actually earning good money for myself I finally had the means to book a dental appointment and address this bad tooth I've been...nurturing since high school lol. Finally had an oral prophylaxis and an extraction yesterday and ohmygod can I just say, what a relief! I know getting my teeth checked often is crazy expensive but I personally think it's better to have everything in order as soon as you can because it 's certainly going to cost more the longer you put it off. Plus it's a health investment, so no regrets really. I gotta save up for a dental crowning in 2 months though, hoping this'll be the last major procedure in a while though.
Work. So I haven't really been able to share what I do here but I have been working as an in-house artist-slash-graphic-designer for a pin company that my girlfriend and her sister started. It's been three months and so far all is well, despite a few hiccups when we first started. I intend to keep this job for as long as I can until I save enough money to start my own business, and honestly I am beyond grateful for it. The office is closer to where I live so I don't have to commute to the city, AND I get to work with my girlfriend almost everyday? Nice is an understatement. At the end of it, I'm just glad I can finally have a routine after being so lost these past years.
Hobbies. This is the one I'm struggling with at the moment, since I can't find anything productive to do on weekends. I'm on a quest to get back into coding and start a personal blog website, but then again my dreamwidth is still here and I already love blogging here, so I'm still on the fence about webdev. Perhaps I should take up something that doesn't involve a screen, yes?
Anyway, that's all I have for now. If I succeed in putting more effort in my personal life, I will see you here next Saturday. Wish me luck!
