Big News

A Blurb
So the big news was that I was going to stop looking for work for the month of July to better focus on the work goals I set for each month here on Patreon.
The amount of time and effort I've put into applications and interviews, online, via phone, or even in person has been, well, time consuming and draining. I've had a lot of moments where I thought I had done great, only to be told they had a more qualified applicant..
It's been six months and I've been really tired of it.
So the idea was to change gears and work on something that I actually like doing rather than devoting an exorbitant amount of my time and energy to only be told that I didn't win the lotto that is now even getting a job.. I was told a few times that "yeah, we got at least a hundred people putting in applications." So yeah.. That sucked to hear. If I had to say how much time a month I put towards trying to land a job, well I'd say it's more than half.
Anyway, that was the ehhhh part. I was beating myself up for being so late on so much stuff but I also didn't want to be always talking about the job search eating up so much time.. There's a few other things but they're not dire yet so I may never have to talk about them, who knows.
The Good News
I got a job! It's part time and overnight, so I'll be drained for a bit until I get used to it but we'll be more financially stable! I was going to tweet it but I thought it would be better to share it here first.
So what does this mean for the Patreon Page?
Well, nothing actually. I wanna do both. I've wanted to do both. The not knowing my work schedule will kind of screw things up as far as the calendar goes so to rectify that, I'll be shifting to having a singular posting day at the end of the week, probably Saturday. So it would function like the catch up weeks where I would post at the end of the week for the things I had to do during the week.
I've been so caught up in all this that I haven't even started the calendar. So with that being said, I also have to do that when I wake up. But yeah! Super excited to be getting the benefits. After a bit I'll get healthcare, vacation time, all that stuff, I just have to meet a minimum hours worked quota each month. I'm super happy but also super tired so hence the rambly-ness.
Just, I feel like this huge weight has been lifted. I don't have to worry about our funds dwindling or Sweets having to work her butt off to support our little family. I will say it was so satisfying to be able to pay for Lucky's food with the money from patreon. All of you helped keep our little furry pets fed for the next 6 months.
So thank you for your support these strange six months. Things have been hectic, I know. Things would have been a lot harder without your support. With the unsteadiness behind us, I hope to bring more stable content out.
OH oh oh! One more thing, with the healthcare thing, I'll be able to talk to a doctor about my issues and hopefully, try the medication route, again. I also wanna see if I can talk to them about my attention issues... I'm nervously optimistic about this.
