Pumpkin Spice:
With autumn officially here for us, I make pumpkin muffins and picked up my pieces to try again. I may whine and cry and be frustrated, but even when things aren't what I expected to be right now, I have to learn myself feel those emotions and then turn on my logic brain. Take some time to plan and do the math so that way I can try to improve in what went wrong prior. I suppose that's all part of the process in it's own way. It would only be bad if I learned nothing at all or just gave up each time these situations have happened. In all the 15+ years of my "professional" art career, as when I started to do commissions officially, I hit roadblocks then too. I'd give myself a day or two and then try again. So it's not a new system for me.
In other news, because we sold the remaining rice fish we had, we did leave their tank active for a few days for that 'just in case' and yup, none to my surprise, but fry started to make an appearance. After an incident that happened a few weeks prior, I had lost half the rice fish in the tank so was only down to the 4 adults, which happened to be 3 ladies and 1 guy. It's been about a week now since the adults were sold and we so far have acounter 7-8 fry. I'm not sure on the exact number because they're so tiny and can easily hide among the floating plants and be missed in the counting. The person who bought the other adults said they'd take the kiddos when they're old enough to go in a few months time, so we'll raise out this batch this too.
In other other news, my partner and I had our 5 year anniversary over this past weekend and more officially yesterday on the 5th. We took lots of hikes and otherwise, it was good, thinking how it's been 5 years already. We both still have big dreams and bit by bit, we're still going to do our best to head toward those dreams.
For me, as an artist, all the support I've received throughout the years has been a huge help! Even when I face downturns in my income like this and struggling to make things better, I'm still here because there are people out there who care too. I'm here thanks to everyone who has given me a chance!
Thank you for your support! I'll see you soon!!
