Day to day
It's been a while. I'm going to try to catch up starting with the present and going backward.
Since the new year, with the encouragement of Fox, I've been getting back into learning Japanese. It's slow going, but I think I'm getting back to where I was. Which is good, because it is a personal thing that I want to accomplish. It's just a little weird feeling that there isn't anything specifically tangible to show for it yet. Maybe I'll feel better after reading some children's books. I've been playing "Learn Japanese to Survive!" to pick hiragana back up and I think it might help me so I can get back into the DS game that I was using to learn.
This and yoga have been my big "let's stay on top of this during the week", which doesn't feel like a big time commitment every other day, but it adds up, I guess? As much as everything else adds up, I suppose. I've been able to stay in the level of the 40 minute routine, even it doesn't feel that it helps my figure that much, I'm really not in that much shoulder pain from day to day. I really need a new computer chair, because damn. I've been doing a good job of doing it at least once or twice a week, though.
The folks that I talk to daily or near daily are Abby, Fox, Grace, and Megan. While Megan and my frequency may have gone down, I still think we are very important to each other. Her family is in a tough situation right now with a divorce and other person crises going on, so I'm happy to be there for her. I'm thinking about going to Toronto for the next Hannibal convention because it's super important to her, Toronto seems neat, and SO MANY ESCAPE ROOMS. Fox and I are exchanging long messages at least a few times a week and I feel so good about our friendship right now. She helps me and understands me in a way that few people do, so she's invaluable to me. We laugh and share so much, it's great. Grace is the person I spend probably the most irl time with that isn't Jason or my co-workers. She's so easy to get along with and I love how much we compliment each other and it's so nice being next to her. Abby is a lot of fun and she's someone I share a lot of minutae with, but she helps me vent the stupid stuff, share in the small victories, and yell about Overwatch.
This covers my day to day, so let me try to address more specific events?
