Moving Shop
After giving it a lot of thought I have decided to move my shop from Etsy to Ko-fi. I had considered doing this back when I first made my ko-fi account, though, at the time, I had justified staying on Etsy in hopes of exposure leading to more business. Now that, Etsy has increased their transaction fees, I can hardly justify staying. I wasn't getting any more business than I was before I started using Etsy; and, all I was doing was paying listing fees to keep my products posted and having nothing to show for it. So, even if it means I'll have to work harder to get myself noticed and get my business going, I really think this is the best business move I can make at this time. My items on Etsy will stay there until their listings expire, and I might hang on to my Etsy account on the off chance I find reason to return. But, all my products from now on will be found on Ko-fi. Here's a link to my Ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/artsygoatproducts I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
New Year, New Plan
So as we all get started on 2022, I just wanted to update on my life and what my 2022 goals are. I for one am not huge on calling them resolutions, so I call them goals. Things to work toward throughout 2022, and if you reach that goal great! If not, then that's okay, too, there's always next year. I've possibly mentioned before I'm a vet tech. I work at a specialty hospital that does surgeries, CT scans, and dermatology exams on cats and dogs. The surgeries we do are ones that a regular vet isn't able to, such as; a TPLO, certain fractures, brachycephalic airway surgery, and more. I really enjoy my job, it is a million times better than where I was working previously, and I love all my coworkers. We are like a big family, and even on the days I don't really want to go to work they all make it a good day and worth doing. Seeing all the patients recover and get better is more rewarding than working in General Practice. My day to day life has been great too, lots of video games and TV.
Big Update Time
Howdy y'all! I'm not dead! It's been a while and I've been super busy with all of 2020's none sense, so I didn't really have time to post anything here. So, for me since I last updated y'all I've gotten a job, well two actually. I was working at a vet clinic and living with my mom, but the clinic I was at was too stressful and I didn't like being there. I wasn't happy. So, I got a new job at another clinic that was closer to my friends and so that meant needing to move closer to friends; that is what I had wanted for since graduating (that and I didn't want to drive an hour and a half one way everyday for work). I got a nice little studio apartment and I've been slowly getting moved in with my bird (tell you what it wasn't easy finding a place that would allow me to have a bird in my apartment). My car is still a bit of a storage unit while I work on trying to fit everything in my apartment and figuring out what needs to go. I also dealt with the DMV about a week ago and they
Update and Goat a Question?
Howdy, I know it has been a while since I posted anything and that's mostly because I had nothing to say other than how stressful my semester has been. As I write this now the semester is coming to an end, finals are right around the corner. I am no less stressed and anxious, however. I can not wait until the semester is over!!
My year so far has had it's ups and downs, and has over the course of the semester became really rough on me mentally. I've found myself somewhat trapped in my own head, which isn't a happy place to be sometimes. I've been trying to 'fix' myself through exercise, writing, and other things. I end up running in circle.
