Guess I haven't been as active as I hoped, but hey, can't be perfect.

Been both a busy bee and a lazy bum this past month, also haven't been uploading as much as I hope, but one thing is for certain: Fidget spinner acquired! >:U Got it this morning and basically used the last of my budget to get it for my anxiety levels and well, general urge to fidget. I am a drummer of sorts, so having something to fiddle with my hands that is made for that(and not digging into my phone's screen saver or pressing the back stand so many times), is already helping a lot.

So, school ended, and didn't do so well in one class, and I could have done better in the other if I didn't procrastinate as much, but hey, managed to get through it and pass. I fixed up my final render after a long re-render cycle, but finally got it figured out! 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCMyMx… Final turnout of that~

I also had an epic person over for a few days at the beginning of the month: :iconflame-shadow: :'D Pretty much went on a couple of adventures, and drew every so often, and even got to exchange some gifts for each other~ ^^ Having such an awesome bud over for a few days was a major help with stress levels.

Since then I've been on and off with drawing, but trying to practice more when I have good time, though last few days were quite the lazy days, but it was a needed rest from life. Been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe like crazy, and been working on Pokemon Sun as well~ If anyone wants to trade Switch friend codes let me know! ^^

I do have a few gifts and commissions, as well as some of my own artings to upload, but I'll have to save that in due time. I'm also trying to keep a weekly schedule of sorts although my work ruined that since my schedule got flipped around to what I DON'T want. =3=

Work has also been a pain in the butt in itself. Between management not knowing what they are doing, receiving team not giving a fudge on properly receiving and organizing the product, and co-workers constantly ditching work simply cause they don't want to, it's been a relative nightmare to get anything done! Also an awful manager who keep micromanaging everything, keeps pestering my group even though she has no control over us, nor is ever polite about anything.

Beyond that, I'm trying to have a weekly walk downtown of my area, mostly to play pokemon go as a stress reliever, to get some good mons and take down gyms, and to get some exercise and summer sunlight! Even right now my night shades are blocking any sunlight and too lazy to soak up some remaining rays. XD 

As well, I started a clear out on discord again to get out of some groups I was never active in, or were probably not good for my health to stay in. Also, within the past year, I've tried to reconnect with some people slowly through different means, and while some have been a success, certain people I've came to a point that I've just had to let go. They weren't happy with me, I wasn't happy, and doubt anything could get reconciled, so I pulled back, pulled out, and hopefully can just keep trucking. Wish those peeps good luck with their lives, and have a happy trail to follow soon enough.

Well, I will need to update more and probably will next week when I have a couple of days off. I know I got a few things to look forward to this summer, especially having a bit more cash on hand if I can get through this drought of cash at the moment. Mostly my work place didn't give me more hours til after a month of school being out, when I told them several weeks in advance and up til that point weekly that I'll be available again after school gets out. Oh well, so much for promising a flexible schedule, work. =3=

See ya peeps and have a great summer to come!
