Lubing up for 2025

Just a couple quick thoughts and updates.

It's a new year with old things to stress about, try to perfect, and continue working on.

All in all, we have decided not to treat Boomer for a myriad of reasons. The main ones being that the medication he'd be on will make him lethargic, and sleepy all the time. That's not who he is. He's very bouncy, energetic, and full of life. He's still constantly playing with his toys and just happy to be around. The meds would also annihilate his kidneys and liver. Why treat one problem only to make two huge ones? Especially if the one we're treating just has some symptoms that are more of a pain in the ass. As unhappy as he is about occasionally having to wear diapers, I think I'd rather deal with some indoor accidents over exploded kidneys.

The next news, I do officially have my sticker cutter and a photo quality printer! So I'll be making some stickers of my own soon! Which is very exciting. Still haven't decided if I'm going to go on to Etsy to sell them initially. It feels like waste, but it might drum up some business for this website. Ideally, in a perfect world, this would just be the site people go to right at the beginning, but I don't really think that's a current reality. Not without purchasing some real big league advertising. I definitely don't have that kind of money. Nor do I really have the time to be doing nothing but making products. For now, I'll stick my lil shop with my turtles. I am learning beanies, so those will be up soon.

And lastly, commissions. I really want to make a commissions submission page on this site, to both bring people to the site, as well as get the submissions organized. I have a long list of emotes I need to draw for various people, and I'll admit that I've really lost track of who wants what. I've started compiling lists for people, but it really feels like something that needs to be in a spreadsheet, and I'm not an excellent excel user. Pretty terrible actually.....it makes me literally cry.

Here's to the new year! Hopefully, 2025, you don't fuck us in the ass as hard as most of us think you will.
