Things That Matter

So this past week, I started working ten  hour days.  And my commute is 75 miles each way, which averages about a hour and a half, adding up to three hours of road time.  Saturday's are going to become a regular thing, as well... So needless to say, I've been exhausted...  All the time...

Yet, just over a couple months ago, I was mostly unemployed, living the good life.  Sure, I had hardly any money, and paying bills became a pain in the bottom.  But I had time.  I had freedom.  Since I started working, I've missed being able to drive back to my hometown on a whim and visit my mom and dad, hang out with friends any time night or day, taking my puppy to the beach or have her cuddle up to my legs as I draw or read manga (my parents have been looking after her since I'm gone all day at work).  So everything that really, truly was important, I had.  And it was nice~

But I suppose responsibility is almost as important as freedom.  I think its time to find a good balance between the two...

Pacific Media Expo 2012

So this past weekend was PMX~  I believe it was my forth one, and for the most part, though I was fatigued from a long work week, I enjoyed it~  I only went for Saturday, but got to hang out with a bunch of my friends which was nice.
