Hi there! Welcome to my first journal entry! I've been having a lot of fun building this website from the ground up! I haven't learned anything new in a really long time, so this has been super rewarding to do! I have a habit of jumping headfirst into things and I think it's been for the best since I get to figure out the hard stuff as I build this site. It's so barebones compared to other webistes that I love, but the fact that I made it is so amazing! I'm really proud of myself T.T
Anyways this has been a super lifesaving experience, since I've been out of work since the second week of January and as much as I'd love to lay around the house and be lazy, having something to look forward to in the mornings is so nice! I can feel the brain stimulation!!!
Another thing that has taken all my time so I'm not constantly bed rotting is that I participated in my first art market! It was nice to make so many things to sell and I got a lot of compliments. The only problem is that I didn't realize it was on superbowl sunday. I don't watch sports, I know nothing about the teams, so how was I supposed to know that the biggest sports holiday was happening T.T It went well though, I made a couple of sales and my relatives bought some stuff too which was nice. I'm not discouraged though! (thanks lexapro) I'm just surprised people liked my stuff enough to buy them! I'm looking forward to my next event, and want to try sewing some cute pencil pouches or smthn, and I even found some closer events that have tables for $35!!!!???? That's so cheap compared to what I paid for my table, I wish I did more research, but again, I just like to jump into new things so it was good to see what an art market was like. My friend who's also done markets has offered to split a table with me once he gets the time to make more things to sell as well! I still have so many products left from the market that I've been planning to put on my ig and sell, but I got sucked into this right after the market ended and just want to code all day. I've literally been imagining me doing my hobbies once the market was done cuz I was in full go mode to make sure I had enough product to sell. So I'll post the rest of my stock in my craft ig whenever I get the time ahh.
Speaking of time, I start my new job tomorrow and I'm so excited to finally be out of the house and making steady money again. I got a job as a barista at this cute little coffee shop in this food hall. The employees are super nice, management is just about coffee and not sales, everyone is just super passionate about coffee. Once a season they also have everyone come up with their own drink ideas to add to the seasonal menu and they have a little tasting day! I was invited before I start just to say hi to everyone and get a feel for how it works and the drinks everyone came up with were so good! I'm literally still thinking about them and it's been 2 weeks already. I'm excited to start tomorrow and get to have the drinks again!!! I feel really thankful that I got this job since I need to be in a creative field to feel alive lol. I also miss driving my car to work, so that'll be fun and singing along to songs by myself cuz I'm shy and think I sound bad (even if I've been told I sing good), but that's scary hehehe. Anyways I'm just trying to enjoy the last of my days off before I get thrown into the working world again. The shifts aren't too long and I have some decent days off compared to my old job where I just had a single day off a week! It literally drained so much joy from my life! So I'm hoping I'll still be here in the afternoons to work on this website.
I think that's it for now? I feel like I could go on forever becuase I have so many thoughts, but this is just the first post out of many so I should save those thoughts for later. I hope you enjoy my webiste! I have so many cool ideas planned for this thing
