I guess an update is in order?

It really was ages ago since I wrote anything. I figure I should try and start using this as it should be used. But it seems everyone has been pretty busy lately. Central sure seems to know how to keep us from getting bored, don't they? Especially seeing as we're not free to move around as much anymore.

I can completely understand that. Even if I would really like to be able to do my job...

Anyway. I've had very little free time lately, and what I did have I would rather use for painting than updating this. But now I have a bit more time so I thought I might as well do it. Not that I have much to say... Hm...

It's been cloudy today, still is, but the air outside is very moist and pleasant right now. Even if it's dark, I think I'll go outside for a little, see if I can actually paint. Painting in the dark is a fun thing to do, as well as relaxing, and I haven't done it in a while. Even if doing it for too long isn't good for the eyes, I can't help myself. Some fresh air before dealing with more paper work is always good, too.

I think a lot of us are getting restless. At least we Generals are. We're not used to sitting around in Headquarters doing nothing for such a long time. It feels as if I don't know much of what is going on out there in the world. It makes me a little uneasy. There are the reports and things that you hear from those who had been out, like surviving Finders and the like, but it's just not the same as seeing it with your own eyes. I never realised before that I was so used to moving around all the time that sitting still would be so... I can't find the right word. Boring doesn't quite feel right. Unsettling?

I don't have much time left before I have to do the last of the paperwork and then sleep, and I do need some time to actually paint something, so I think I'll head outside now. They will probably insist that I get some guards to go with me. I don't quite see the need, but I'm not going to create a fuzz, so by all means...

I'm not sure if I want something to happen soon. It is pretty peaceful now, so I should be careful with what I wish for. It's good that it's quiet, but it's just natural that it makes me jumpy, isn't it?

Oh... well. Time for that fresh air. Maybe I'll be lucky and find that the clouds have cleared so that the stars are visible.

reflecting, update
