also, grant money finally coming. i am CHOMPING at the bit for a laptop but.... i realized Black Friday is only like. Two months away

so i can potentially get something even better than I originally planned. or at the very least, I can likely get what i wanted to get at a discount

i really want laptop coz then i can finally record stuff on compy at my leisure... and i might have another youtube series i wanna try

i will likely be putting in a hiatus anyway, if not a slowatus. i want to see about getting back to the sort of cadence i had with making adoptables in my first year, which was one basically almost every day or at least every other day

so that we can get some much needed funds

i really think it's better to treat even art like a regular job

everyone deserves 2 days a week off

everyone deserves lunch breaks, and no more than 8 hours a day

of work

an alarm to sound for "end of day" would be really good for the mental health
