I'm down with the flu and then I also somehow got a stomach bug on top of things ha ha ha~
Firing from all holes, oops!

2025 isn't starting great for me, but here is me hoping that I get all the shit under the belt early (pun intended) and the rest of the year will be nothing but smooth sailing.... right? RIGHT??

Anyway, I hope you're all in good health (better than me, anyway) and had a good start into the year :B

I have to go back to work next week which is stinky, I rly had hoped I would get an actual week of vacation where I can idk, do stuff in my flat and draw, but guess I'm not allowed to have that 6w9

I might actually go to the doc's office tomorrow to get a sick leave notice and claim back the vacation days spend lying in bed being miserable. We'll see.

I'll start my new job in February and I don't look forward to it bc I'm sick of creating slot game garbage 8( it's so soulless and incesterous and boring. Just the same themes and same shit over and over and over again. Also the reason why I can't be double-arsed to return to the old job next week; idgaf about any of the running projects anymore or where the company is headed, I'm about to be outtie. Wished I could be outta the whole industry, but industries funded by their addicts is where the money is at, frankly (same reason the Free2Play model is successful: it's also funded majorly by the addicted player base)

I wished I had some rich patron who'd just throw money at me so I could spend the rest of my days just drawing whatever pleases me. But I don't, so I have to sell my lifetime like the rest of us just to afford life's necessities :,)

I hope this journal isn't a bummer, I'm doing okay actually, just kinda miffed the year already had to start with throwing wrenches into my plans and wished I were generally further along with my plan of buying my own house so I can finally kiss the hamsterwheel of capitalism goodbye and become the artist hermit surrounded by animal friends that I aspire to be lol.
