Well, I've had a couple of drinks so I figure why not post rather than actually work on the stuff I'm supposed to be doing?
The baby is so great. I've never loved anyone or anything so much in my life. She's absolutely wonderful, even when she's infuriating. She's 15 months old now, so she's starting to begin to walk and talk a little bit, and that's been incredibly fun. She's parroting us now a little bit (well, me), and trying to walk unsupported, which is amazing and terrifying. You've never seen someone so happy about the presence of cats! They walk into her eye line and she just starts giggling madly at them. It's so cute.
I'm still working at Den of Geek, except for the Americans this time. It doesn't feel the same at all, but the pay is a little bit better, so... I guess I can stick with it? I also wrote a freelance thing for Film Stories, but I haven't seen it posted yet so who knows if or when it will get published. I know he's busy, but I crave any sort of positive or negative feedback on things rather than simply emailing them into a void and seeing.
Other than that? I don't know, I do help desk work and tech support for cafeterias in the local school system. I'll be retired by the time the baby is in middle school, which is pretty nice. My house is still falling apart and I'm financially destitute, but... I make payments and I'm still eating and drinking, so that's better than a lot of folks in the COVID world.
I find all of the coronoavirus things very concerning, even though I'm in one of a few states that's handled things well and is able to reopen per federal guidelines. Maybe that's just the introvert in me, but I'm not looking to get out into the world again any time soon. I can just keep shaving my head at home and eating takeout, thanks.
