Also I've been taking adhd meds for the past month-ish

Life changing. Kinda pissed I didn't have them before. My dad (gp doctor) always told be he was pretty sure I had adhd... no idea why he didn't get me properly assessed. It would've helped so damn much in college.

(throwback to that time a teacher told me to stop drawing in class because it was distracting her. Ma'am, I'm drawing because I can't focus otherwise, you're too damn boring!)

So. Life changing, it's like my brain usually is a messy desktop with icons everywhere, a bajillion open tabs and auto-play music i can't find the source of. With the meds, it gets all cleared up, one tab open at a time.

I can consistently stay focused on drawing for 4+ hours a day, every day. Mind blown. I take them late on purpose on D&D days...it helps a lot xD.

And side effect, these med usually reduce your appetite (and make you forget to eat cuz you're in the zone) and I've lost some weight. I love eating, I love snacking, and had some extra fluff I made peace with long ago but because I don't snack much anymore, that fluff is slowly melting. I don't hate it. Just have to make sure I get a nicely filling breakfast before starting my day ^^

Holidays!

Littlest one got a fever during the night, kept me awake from like 3.30 to 5am. I'm tired. Today is last day of daycare, then the girls are going to be home for a while. But it's okay, Nic got fired. More on that later.

Gifts are wrapped. I just need to buy wine and do some baking. I'm making croatian chocolate cookies for the 24th, and a pear & apple crumble cheesecake for Nic's birthday, on 22nd. This asshole has his bday right before christmas. Then there's my sister's bday on the 30th, New Year, and then Big Girl's birthday is early January. Oof. I'll have to plan a Spidey-themed party after the holiday rush. It's going to be a busy next couple weeks.

I don't think I'll have much time to draw until next year. I suppose I can do some thinking/planning, I want to do another round of spontaneous applications/offer of services, trying to find work in my field. Getting hired as a 2D artist/illustrator is a lot of right place right time and having contacts. Love doing fetish art but it doesn't pay much.

About Nic getting fired, it sucks but it's not terrible. He's a pharmacist, and for the last 10 months, he had a teaching contract at the pharmacy faculty. He was supposed to be renewed for the next term but there were last minute fuck ups, and now its not happening. Since pharmacists are in high demand, finding work isn't an issue but he really loved the university job and he was pretty damn good at it. Silver lining, he's going to take a couple weeks off.

Anyway, that's about it. Little life update.

Looking forward to taking a nap.
