2024 birthday update
Hello flist!
Long time not updating this blog. However, since I dislike the feeling when you go check someone's blog and there are no recent updates, and you don't know whether that person is still alive or not, here I am with this post to confirm that yes, indeed, I am still alive and fairly well. I am currently in vacation with my family and today is my birthday, so I thought it a good day to return here to write a little.
So, since the last time I left a post here, my life had a major change: in March 2023 I had a baby boy, and since then, the vast majority of my time had been devoted to him. I have been working now and then, part time, but most of my days are spent attending to my son's needs.
I got myself an Ipad and I am learning how to use Procreate. Actually I don't find it so much easier than Photoshop, but after all, I have some twenty years, more or less, of experience with Ps, so it would be expected to have some easiness with it.
I am still, from time to time, reading some SS/HG fics. In fact, after finishing some long novels this year, I am now reading Post Tenebras, Lux by Loten, which is considered a classic in the genre, but which I stopped reading at 42% some years ago.
Next year (I mean the school year 2024-25 - so, from September onward) will see some new changes as we are expected to move, sooner or later, to a new place equipped with a chamber for my son (he's still sleeping next to our bed at the moment) and my son will start daycare in autumn.
Livejournal-wise, this year won't see the last HP-related fest I still participated to, hoggywartyxmas. The 2023 edition was the last one, so there won't be a new September 1st post. I shall miss it.
If you are still interested in my drawings, I post (infrequently) on Instagram here. Most of my work are children's illustrations now.
That's all! I hope you are all well. I have been a terrible lj reader in the last years, but then again, I know the feeling when you remember about someone, you go to their blog and the last update is from 2010. I wish you all peace and good health.
