Plans for 2024

Happy New Year everyone πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Glad to have made it another trip around the sun. For this year I have quite an ambitious outlook towards what I'd like to accomplish. Hopefully they're ambitious enough that if I fall short I'll still have done quite a bit overall.


I would like to obtain my NHA certificate for Clinical Medical Assistant this year. It's been a while since trade school graduation and my last MA job and I'd like to get back into a clinical position. My current job is clerical but still in healthcare; it's been great with my school schedule but not as fulfilling as being part of a medical team. 


Updating my blog more often as well. I've been wanting to do more creative writing, trying my hand at more journalistic pieces and writing on topics I'm passionate about or would like to bring awareness to.


Growing my savings is also a huge goal for me. After using my little nest egg to help my family in a hard time, it's been a little sad not having savings for other endeavors. Working to pay for school, helping the household and having savings will be quite the feat for my disabled ass but where there's a will there's a way, right? I have two interviews this month for on campus jobs, hoping to get one to have extra income.


Writing new stories on my Wattpad is also on my list of plans for this year. I have been having so many crazy dreams and ideas of stories to write that I need to get them out my head and on paper so to speak. I'd like to write on a somewhat strict schedule as well to try and reinforce the new routine. Not sure if I'd like to continue the story I have on hiatus currently due to low engagement but sometimes I'd like to just write for myself.


Getting more active via walking, yoga classes, and yoga at home. Feeling more healthy overall is something I'd like to strive for, my health is often an obstacle in any plans and goals I make. 


Have a summer that is filled with fun and happy experiences that won't leave me bankrupt. I'm still split between working full time hours over the summer or only picking up extra shifts and just dedicate serious time to my art and creating.


In terms of my romantic life, I am still adamant about pursuing a polyamorous dynamic with potential long partners. It's something I feel will be right for me; and in a somewhat perfect world, being loved in that way would make me feel complete. No amount of self love or monogamy has been able to fill the gap that I feel.


Trying some new hobbies as well to keep my mind busy. I bought a crocheting set and would like to finally put it to use. Might even try my hand at learning to code (again), this time without quitting. 


These are the big ones that I'd love to check off, we shall all see these come to fruition. God willing, we'll manifest some success, progress and love.

Bar Review: Nostalgia

Last Thursday night, I went out on another date with my partner at the same little bar I mentioned a few posts ago. It's called Nostalgia and is a very cute 90's themed bar in Bethpage, NY. We went for what we found out is going to be a new monthly drag show hosted by some of my friends who are drag queens along with performances by other local queens as well.  (Video shows a quick vid I took of one of the sets done by my very talented friend Gemma Tolstoy  ) The bar is very queer friendly and definitely in my opinion a safe space for LGBTQ+ folks looking to go out and have a fun time. Definitely a mixed crowd bar depending on the night, when I go tends to be more folks in their 20's with just a  sprinkling of those in their 30's and 40's. The place is totally decked out throughout with everything 90's from movie memorabilia, autographed headshots of 90's celebs, fun colored lighting, Pokemon decor around the bar, CD and comic book themed bathrooms and the r...

Bar Review: Kitty Mulligans

I recently went on a date with my partner to a local Irish Bar in my area called Kitty Mulligans. I follow them on Instagram and was excited to see them post about having bingo nights as a weekly event on Thursdays. I'm a big fan of playing bingo, I find it to be a fun game to play while chilling and having some food. Our reservation was made the day before and when we went in our name was on a little chalkboard on our table. A very cute touch that I haven't seen before. The owner introduced himself and was a sweetheart.  The layout of the bar was separate from the large counter was a side section for tables and booths with nice big barn doors separating them. The side with tables and booths is a space that can be booked for private events which I thought was cool. The list of food and drinks on their website was actually shorter than the actual sit down menu. We took quite a while to decide on what to get. My partner and I both shared their Grilled Chicken Flatbread and their ...

Sketchbook dump (and Author's Note)

Here's a few sketch pieces I've done so far this year. Trying to keep the momentum of drawing a few sketches every month; hoping to do at least three big pieces of work and two or more commissions in 2024.  Currently working on a paper addressing myths/stereotypes regarding women and their capabilities regarding operating and maintaining motor vehicles. I'll most likely condense the paper and post it under my creative writing tag and whatnot. Definitely look out for that and feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for visiting my blog :) enjoy the rest of your week ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧
