Er, hi!
So, you know how you do that thing where you don’t post for a while, and then it just gets harder and harder to post, especially since you’ve switched to a job you don’t hate but that does monitor your internet usage, so you no longer spend all your time on the internet?
Hello, neglected corner of the interwebs! How have you been? (except that is disingenuous. I haven’t been posting and my logging on has been sporadic, but I still check in from time to time. I have a rough idea of how y’all are doing.)
My life is very much the same as before I went radio silent. I’m living in the same place, with the same kitties. Siri is still my very good lap cat (except when there are flowers in the house. Then she is a ravening…cow? I guess? Who must chew all the stems!). Foolish is still unhealthily interested in feet but has outgrown the need to shred paper. One of them jumped on my face while I was sleeping a week ago, leaving me with an impressive gash in my nose. I’m really, really looking forward to them deciding they are grown up lady cats.
My family is good. I’m taking my grandma out to the casino once a month and this last trip, we actually finished up for the day. Unheard of! I think my parents have decided I’m a grown up because they gave me a food processor. It is time for me to slice and dice like an adult, I guess. My sister and brother-in-law are currently building the world’s largest window seat. It is a testament to both their love and their inability to measure things properly.
I’m starting a new job soon. I’m wavering between crazy excitement and crazy nervousness, which is about par the course for me. I still like the current (old?) job and love a lot of the people I work with. There hasn’t been much business coming in, though, and there’s a lot of uncertainty about the future of this particular office (not the company as a whole, though). They aren’t going to transfer me to another office and since I’ve still got those two gaping cat mouths to feed, I needed to take steps. Fingers crossed that things go well
I’m still living in the same place and wearing most of the same shoes. I have a new guy! And new boots, come to think of it. But I like the guy more than them, which I didn’t even think was possible. We’ve been seeing each other since November and I want to see him for way, way into the future.
I’m no longer freelance writing. DS stopped sharing easy-to-write titles, so I picked up hard-to-write ones and then ridiculous-to-write ones outside of my experience. At some point, they figured out that I don’t actually have any experience in framing showers and got kind of snippy with me. Wev. I totally cited sources. They’re just mad that they paid me for it.
I thought leaving the freelancing behind would result in more time for writing fiction. The guy is interfering with that a bit, but I’m trying to get back into the groove. I’m having more luck with original work that fanfic, but I’m hoping to get back into both. Why was it so much easier ten years ago, when I worked two jobs?
Anyway. I’m good. Nervous, but good J
