Eyyyyy I’m not dead
Good grief, it’s been a while.
I know I went on semi-hiatus waaaaaay back in March, but I’ve been basically off the grid since early July, I think? I really only consistently update instagram and that’s it. Still not back in any sense of the word (not even to update my empty queue), that’s not happening till early-mid September, but I wanted to give you all a long-overdue update and let you know what’s up:
1. Y’all know about the little stray we found back in May. She’s been doing great, she’s huge now, all kitty-sized and more playful than ever, and she’s teething, and you don’t even wanna see the state of my limbs, man, it’s not pretty.
Can’t recall if I ever mentioned that here, but we decided to call her Buffy:
2. I’ve talked about my never-ending thesis here and there, and it’s finally almost over but I’m really sprinting down the finish line right now, it needs to be done by the end of this month and I’m spending almost all my free time fine-tuning it. This is basically the reason for the early to mid-September date, I need to finish it by the end of August, then prep my presentation and defend it, so there’s still some work to be done.
3. I know I also mentioned the job, which is going really well! I used to have a lot more free time during the day to take a break and either goof off or write, but I’ve been placed in high-volume projects lately and I basically have zero free time that isn’t a break, and breaks are spent playing with the little fur-monster so she doesn’t get bored and take it out on our limbs.
3.5 I AM AN OLD WOMAN NOW, I SLEEP FROM 10:30 ‘CAUSE I HAVE TO GET UP AT 5:30, FFS, THIS IS SERIOUSLY IMPEDING ON MY CROSS-ATLANTIC/CONTINENTAL/TIMEZONE-CHALLENGED FRIENDSHIPS. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
4. Iiiiii don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, but I’ve also been preparing for a move. Which meant browsing for furniture, buying said furniture, assembling said furniture (’cause IKEA, lol) which obviously took the longest, since both my partner and I work and our free hours where we weren’t both exhausted are limited. Add all the other headaches associated with sprucing up a place from the ground up, and you get an idea of how hectic it’s been. We’re almost done now, so that will be one fewer headache to deal with, exciting though it’s been. My wallet and my back are crying out for a break.
So that’s about it! I really wish I could be here for Ishihime week especially ;-; but I honestly can’t afford to goof off now. I’ll be back to posting (and eventually writing!) in a month or so. Believe me, no-one is more impatient to get back to it than I am, buuuuut priorities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve had a lot on my plate for a while and it’s all reaching its peak now.
My sincerest apologies if I’ve missed your asks/PMs, I’ll be back soon.
Much love ♡
