3/8 - The bit continues

I posted back in January about "doing it for the bit" and I feel like it's appropriate to give an update on how that's going:

Table games dealer bit: Yeah that's actually happening. I went though the class, passed my audition, got my license... it's happening. It's exciting! So for 2026 a lot of my time will be going into juggling two jobs... very exciting. I've learned a lot of new skills and I'm very excited to see where this ends up. I'm really happy with myself for pushing for a new change in life. I won't be posting a lot of details but just know I did it!! I start later this month :)

Returning to a dumbphone/use computer more: This is still in the starting phase as the phone itself is still on preorder status, but there's been a few changes I've already started with. The first is using my computer to blog, watch videos, and play games from time to time. I also am trying to play older pokemon games and rom hacks to replace phone doom scrolling. I found out there's like... cartridges of rom hacks... very fun. I ended up buying a nintendo ds to play them on for the backlit screen, and so I'll probably also look into getting some old GBA and ds games too :) I can't afford a new nintendo switch 2 nor do I enjoy the idea of owning a "key to play the game" vs owning the game itself. I've noticed when I play my DS in bed im more likely to fall asleep faster vs playing on my phone.

Communication: I haven't been blogging much, but I've been trying to actually focus on one and one communication with friends when I can. I'm still not great at this lol.

Remodel my bedroom / Organize the apartment: I convinced my friend to put the TV in the art room up. One step closer to using it as a sewing room.

It's not the biggest steps, but even a small step makes me happy... yes!
