I've been having a most unique few months here. I left my job about a month or so after covid struck, and I don't regret it for a day, though I've not been able to find a job since. Somehow I'm still around and kicking. I say somehow, but it's been all God. Had he not come through on a few things, I definitely would be in a much different situation. Despite the anxiety of never having much money, I'm overall much, much better off than had I stayed. Mentally, emotionally, and all that, I'm much better off. I say this on a good day, of course. Some days I'm much less happy about the whole situation, but still I don't regret the leaving part.
I have one of the local staffing agencies working for me, but thus far there have been slim pickings, and what little there has been that could possibly fit, haven't. The last one I interviewed for, despite paying more than I ever have before, thought I was too overqualified and would get bored. Possibly true, though my initial reaction was definitely one of, yeah right, so not overqualified. Ah well. I really hope I can get one soon. I've been surviving, but I miss being able to just go and buy things I need or want without having to think about whether I am able.
After a bit of a hiatus, I got my fountain pen back in working order and started practicing with it. My penmanship and overall cursive speed is so much better than it was even a year or two back. I also drew a bit again today, so it looks like the creative juices are flowing again. I look forward to harnessing them while I have them about. My buddy told me I should start drawing furry porn and sell it for bank. I'm not entirely sure how much he's actually joking, to be honest. Not an option, but it would be cool if my art were actually good enough to sell online. My brother could absolutely sell most anything he creates, be it drawing, sculpting, blacksmithing, or welding, but my work has rarely ever garnered such attention. I'm by no means terrible, and have done a number of things of which I'm quite proud, but anything I'd consider worth money?...

And of course there's Craig's List, FB Marketplace--I know nothing about either of these, but shouldn't be hard to learn. As long as you don't lose any money in the attempt, why not? You may be better than you think. :)
