Another year older and another Journal
3 years ago
G’day all,
Once more the 14th of May has come around and that means another birthday and time to write another one of my seemingly only annual journal posts.
Since last year been quite the yo yo of in and out of lockdowns and restrictions thanks to covid but since around Christmas we’ve pretty much been open. Over the Easter holidays into Anzac Day I even managed to have my first real holiday since the pandemic began over in Adelaide which was really fun. Makes me happy to actually be able to travel and go see new places and things. Gotta start planning the next one to look forward to now.
Work has been crazy busy pretty much like the year before but we seem to be ever so slowly catching up. I’ve been averaging a good 10 hours or so overtime most weeks which brings me up to around 50 hour work weeks, 60 if you include the commute so needless to say, not a lot of time at home hah.
That said, I have been able to get a bit more done on my railway and my ever expanding collection of model trains (my wallet LOATHES it).
Speaking of wallet, I bought a brand new 2021 Ford Fiesta ST last year in July and I’ve absolutely been loving the car. I hadn’t intended on buying new but it was the car I wanted with all the right features and balance of economy and performance. It’s my little blue rocket and makes the commute way more enjoyable. With fuel prices skyrocketing too, it being cheaper to run than my old car also helps quite a good bit.
Art wise, for the past year I’ve been trying to focus mostly on getting more art of my alt characters that I felt really deserved some more attention along with wanting to get more stuff with friends. Sadly I’ve not been able to do much of the later as I find it really damn hard to actually catch artists I like when they’re taking comms.
As for today itself, it was a Saturday at least this year so no work which was good. Less good was the weather being god awful and my sister ending up going to hospital due to illness. Thankfully it appears to be a chest infection and she was discharged after a few hours and given some stuff to help.
As such, the only thing I really did was stream a little railroads online in the morning (a fantastic game I might add), followed by going out and having some lovely calamari for lunch and then repainting and flying a 777F in the new flight simulator in the evening. Nothing particularly special but hey, birthdays rarely are.
I guess I’ve rambled enough for another year. I’ve been trying to force myself to be a little bit more social and less reclusive but it’s definitely hard after timezones and such a full work schedule. I absolutely hate approaching people as a result as I always feel like it’d be poor timing but I’m always a fan of meeting new people to chat with.
Until next year, safe travels and whatnot. We’ll see how things go, hopefully continuing to improve. Time will tell.

And that your collection only grows and grows!
Hug you :з
My collection is always growing. I’m already kinda limited on space though so I’m going to have to figure out a solution soon or I’ll have nowhere to display all my lovely models.
Your welcome! <3
