No news
I've been really busy lately. I've picked up a bunch of hours at work (which has been a lot easier to do since a full-time person quit) and they've also given me a raise. Which is nice.
I've also started taking a math class so I can get into MSU. This part of my life I'm a bit on the fence about. The class is online and a lot of work. It also has a tendency to stress me out and I'm worried that I'm going to start having panic attacks again. Some of you might know that the last time I was in school I started having panic attacks before class and thus never obtained a college diploma. There were a lot of reasons for these moments but I'm not going to get into them today. Also, I know that being worried about having panic attacks that I haven't started having yet... is a little crazy.
I've also started a jewelry blog. It isn't quite where I want it to be yet, so I'm not going to post a link. On the blog I post a picture of a piece of jewelry I made once a day (ideally for 366 days... however I'm getting the sense this is going to be much harder to do than originally thought). At the end of the post the plan is to have a link to a place where you can buy my jewelry. I really liked the idea of the blog, and I've always wanted to have a jewelry blog, but it has been hard. Taking good pictures and editing them everyday is very time consuming. So is coming up with a business plan and pricing the pieces.
Besides these three part-time "jobs" things have been overall good. As much as I love Chicago and miss my friends and family the distance has been really good for me. It has given me the chance to reflect and figure out what I want. It has allowed me to really appreciate my little family here. Potato has been the best thing to ever happened to me. I've hit some very low lows but he has been there for me and pulled me out of them each and every time. I've also gotten very close to this little man :

He does a good job of reminding me that life is short and it's important to be happy. Even when you have a weird face.
