january updates
Feb. 8th, 2023 12:09 pmboy, January flew past....
it's been an interesting year so far! the definite experience of 'one step back, two steps forward'. Part of my eyes that was at risk have stabilized (knock on wood), honestly to a point that has been unheard of for me since I was half my age ... also just got my reader glasses so it seems like a very happy wrap up for now, since the whole cataracts drama got started a year and a half a go. wild, feels like yesterday.
That said we had some ridiculous tree drama where at least 10-15 trees have gone down in the past month (BIG ones, we ain't talking some shrimpy 1footers, these are trees with a diameter of 60in at the base. yeah. yeaaaah.) Turns out one of them that we were calling a widowmaker that was leaning towards the house coulda flattened the whole house and was way more diseased than we thought it was; that one we managed to cut down before it fell (given we were spooked by the others plus that whole mini power outage for a week or so when one of the branches blew the box) but it was probably going to fall in the next month. yeesh.
On the other, happier hand, I've been heads down at work on this new animated series that's launching and slowly exhaling one pregnant breath cuz this was one of those 'we gotta make money on this, since we're banking a lot on it' initiatives at work. it seems to be paying off above expectations! all i care about lol. Even putting that aside it's been a busier than usual month there. @_@ Tired.
( Art-wise, the biggest projects in the mix right now for Q1 ... )
