I Didn’t Die So Hi Again
I guess we’re doing a life update post.
So this year has been... bad for most people and I am not making this for pity likes. Everyone deserves a damn hug after these past six months. But it’s more to give an update on where things are at for me and this blog.
Let’s start with last week’s elephant: I got COVID. I was on my couch, fatigued, sitting upright to protect my airways, and too fever-y to do anything for a good 7 days. I still have some coughing and some tiredness, but today I’m finally getting back to a relatively normal day.
But it’s not the only thing to happen to me. Right around when the pandemic started, all but one of my freelance jobs folded. Obviously no one was hiring so I just coped. I dove head first into fanfiction, tumblr, streaming all to keep my mind off the fact I was barely making any money and there wasn’t much I could do about it. Jobs started opening up again about two weeks ago, though, so I need to change things up. Especially because I have some pretty big life events on the horizon.
So let’s run down how that effects y’all, my favorite fandom buddies who warm my heart every day by loving my dorky stuff <3
Luckily, I hope for not too much to change about the blog. I will try to put some time aside on Sundays to do a backlog so it keeps running without me on the weekdays. My response time to things will probably slow because I can’t be on Tumblr during the day, I need to be either looking for jobs, applying, or (hopefully soon) just doing said job. But I will take some time during dinner cooking to check out how awesome you lovely folks are.
Streaming will probably be about the same, with a little more goofiness and chill factor since I don’t have the brain cells to be as uptight about it all. That might be for the best, honestly. I only had creative stuff to do so I got really obsessive and tightly wound about a lot of this.
My fanfiction, of all my creative projects, won’t be so lucky.
I put a lot of time into them, which is great, but with what my life needs right now, they need to get knocked down quite a few pegs. Of course I’ll still work on them with I can, along with any other creative ideas I have. But for what my life needs? It’s just not sustainable. I wish that was different, but it’s not.
Anyway, I’m just happy to be in working order again and I will try to start posting again today. or, at least reblogging some awesome things.
If you want to do anything to support my ill ass, 100% just stop by and say hi during my Fallout: New Vegas stream tonight at 7 PM Eastern US Time. Knowing people care that I’m not dead and support this new “get a job” trek I’m on is all I need. I’ve been having a blast playing on hardcore mode and doing everything wrong (I have most of the waypoints but just finally did like the tutorial mission... 5 hours in. I’m committed to the Wanderer thing, okay?)
Oh yeah, and now that I’m not sick I can say: support Black Lives Matter. I’ll try to reblog something with better links than my half-dazed and still recovering butt can find later.
Thank y’all for existing and liking my dorkiness. It means the world to me and you all impress me with how awesome and creative and sweet and kind you are. Y’all make my heart so happy <3
Happy Monday and I’m stoked to be back :)
