It's been a minute

So anyway, I got my vaccines. First was a bit painful, but ok. The second knocked me flat on my ass. It was a real trip. But worth it. I still wear a mask in public, and follow all the precautions I've been taking for over a year. But I don't have the same apprehension towards being near other people as I did before being vaccinated. I recommend everyone who is healthy get it.

Just take a tylenol for the second one, it's a doozy lmao. Anyway, the world is getting kinda back to normal. Which kinda sucks, i.e. mass shootings, people being shitty to each other, ad infinitum. It became clear to me that when we move past the most difficult periods of history, we just forget the lessons we learned. Which is fucked up, but who wants to remember the pain and fear of the trump regime and Covid-19?

We should remember, but not for the horror-porn aspect. We need to remember and learn from the mistakes that were made. As for myself, I learned that seclusion from the world was good for me. Not working sucks, though. I'm going to try and get a work-from-home position. I dislike dealing with the public face-to-face. No one can attempt to choke me over the phone. Plus it's all recorded, threats against my life will be documented.

Because it's way too easy for customers to make shit up, and your employer will side with the customer just to make money on a sale. With proof of their bs, it gets different. Anyway, back to seclusion from the world, more time for me to do home repair and fun stuff. I've been a part of my local furry community for a few years, and I've learned that some are pretty two-faced people in there. Not all, but a few.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to ACFI 2021. Uncle Kage will be returning to our humble little convention. Love him or don't, he's done a lot for our image. Also, quite possibly, the nicest man you'll ever meet. So, I still have some money in the bank. Which means that I can make ACFI 2021 happen. I will do a skinny-con, because I know how much shit I bought at ACFI 2019 I still have in the bag I got for being Super Sponser lol.

Worth it, then. But I know cons for me are really about the social connections and camaraderie. It was a real trip to be an online furry for 10 years and finally dip into the local scene. Thank you to furry youtubers for showing me how much things changed. To be honest, I think furries party harder than anyone. And this year, shit is gonna get crazy, but just how crazy? Well, covid restrictions will probably set a limit. But hey, shit's still four months away.

Hopefully I stop being depressed by then. I've been in a slump for the past few months. What sucks is that it starts slowly, and just kind of spirals. I haven't gotten to the spiral, mostly because I have money so I don't have to worry so much about things. But even when I was making bank, I would still get depressed. It's really impacted me wanting to work, even though I know I need money longterm.

Life is weird sometimes.
