A quick personal update journal. Boring and Long! by Trevor-Fox

TMI Tuesday is coming up! But before that, I thought I'd do a quick little life update since I don't share too much of that online. Or, it's rare when I do.

So, I did recently get a job at Petsmart. I've had it since...around the end of January. I work as the janitor and keep the place cleaned up. It's perfect since I did that at my last job, and I know the gist of everything I need to do. I've had to learn some new things, and get on board with their cleaning policies and order of importance, but now that I've got that down, it's pretty easy to know how to manage my time and clean the things I need to clean.
I enjoy it, and it's easy to keep myself busy at it. There's always something to do. I also like that my work schedule is fairly consistent with it.

I'm doing better this year depression-wise. In January, I realized that I never made a New Year's Resolution, so I decided then and there I needed to make a couple of them. I needed to get myself together, and I really needed to focus on making myself financially secure. So, my Resolutions were:

  1. Eat better and exercise to help prevent depression.
  2. Work on my art and try and practice everyday so that I can get in the habit of drawing, and also keep up my webcomics on a good schedule.
  3. Be more frugal with my money.

I have done SO much better with eating. Exercising hasn't gone as well, but just eating more healthily and not eating out as much has improved my mood greatly. To go along with this, I have also gotten into a good routine with my sleep schedule and that has helped me. I'm usually tired because I'm always busy, but I have been getting a good amount of sleep, and that has helped a bunch.

I have been practicing my art almost everyday. I haven't done so good with the webcomics end of this. But, I'm trying to get into a good schedule with this so that I can force myself to work even when it's hard. Drawing has become MUCH easier because of this. It can still be a chore, but there are times when I want to do nothing BUT draw. So, this has been very helpful.

Along with not eating out as much, I've been saving up my money. I still don't have a lot, and it's going to be a slow process, but it's still a very positive process. Now that I'm getting on my feet, I am less stressed and able to cope with things better.

This year has still had it's ups and downs. I have still been very depressed during parts, however; those moments, while very challenging in the moment, seem to weigh less on my mind than they did before. I'm able to have the strength to better tackle challenges from day to day. And it makes me feel good that I was able to decide to do this.
