Depression
I've been up to very little since the falling out, barely managing to get anything done some days, actually accomplishing things on others. It's been a bit rough.
Managed to lobotomize my lappy while doing a System Restore, leaving me with a pretty brick. This is being written on my hastily updated backup lappy from college (putting it about 10 years old now). Grateful that I kept this little monster, even if it's outdated. I might ask for a tablet for Xmas as I don't have a need for a proper PC or laptop anymore. Dunno yet.
Recently been fighting with Comcast as the new modem/router they sent us was broken beyond belief, and the replacement wasn't much better. I finally gave up and purchased my own to install, giving them back their horrid tech and saving us about $10 a month by avoiding the "Modem Rental Fee" racket. Overpriced rubbish from greedy bastards.
I'm working on getting price comparisons from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile on phone plans for Beemer and myself. I'd like to see a low priced family plan with a low data usage limit and unlimited texting, but so many of them put family plans at 5 Gigs at a minimum (as all families have teens whom suck up data). Hell, at this point, I'm looking at the pay-as-you-go plans with the lower end smart phones; at least it's better than paying an absurd amount for data I don't use.
Oh, and while I'm job hunting, I am enjoying out my gaming queue. (The gaming log built up while I was doing the martial arts stuff, but I can carve my way through many of them with my free time.) So far, all of the Souls series (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and one DS2 DLC, The Crown of the Sunken King), Shadowrun for the SNES, 3D Dot Game Heroes, The Evil Within, and couple of others.
Overall, I'm trying to get moving again but I just seem to keep spinning my wheels.
