life as it is
So there's been a few things happening in my life since I last updated with a 'life post' here on LJ. To start things off, I turned 19 on New Years, so woop woop for that! Following my birthday, I managed to get a gig babysitting my nephew while my sister goes back to work and her boyfriend goes back to school, and while I'm not sure how long this is going to last, at least it's a fairly reliable source of income for the time being.
Next up, I'm still fat and tired as a result of said babysitting. I'm trying to shed some weight for my brother's wedding in August but...well, lets just say that it isn't going well. Not well at all. I'm a miserable failure when it comes to persistence (especially exercise, guh). Also in the course of the past couple months, I've somehow managed to lose a good friend and I have no bloody clue why. One day she just sort of dropped off the radar and now I have pretty much no contact with her at all. Whatever. I'm tired of being used as a temporary friend, so I guess the friends that I do have now (all two of them) are what one could call 'true friends.' I'm thankful for them. <3
We're also going through a pretty rough financial crunch at home right now. It's to the point where I'm having to give about 70% of my meagre pay to my mother so she can go get groceries, with the rest going towards my savings for a wedding outfit (I'm trying to get at least $200, but that's going nowhere fast...).
So, life's pretty much been 50-50 for me as of late. Some ups and a lot of downs, but I somehow manage to get on with things in the end. I just hope I can get back into the swing on writing things - there are a few prompts on the UsUk kink meme that I wouldn't mind filling, if I weren't so uncertain about my ability!
Hopefully everything is well on your guys' end. :)
