Just an updoot!
a year ago
Hey there folks, this is my usual "I'm still alive" journal (which you must be getting tired of atthis point.)
Just wanted to pass along an update on how things are going and why I have made zero progress on writing.
4 months ago I confirmed got the contract for my workplace, and I was short staffed from the beginning. On top of that, one employee decided to take 3 months vacation only one week into beginning working for me so I had to cover his shifts on top of my own. On top of even that, another employee flat out refused to work more than 15 shifts in a monthly period.
So, I needed to work an average of 328 hours a month, or 10 and a half hours a day, 7 days a week when averaged out.
I hadnt had a day off in 3 months, which is really not something Im used to :p
So I was just too tired to do any writing at work, and I was so focused on sleep at home I was virtually useless.
Now, my employee is back, and my other employee is realizing she can't keep up with her bills working so few shifts so Im getting days off and recovering nicely.
However...
I finally started getting to work on building my addition to my house, which will nearly triple the living space. So, with my slow learning ability when it comes to carpentry, I'm focusing on that really hard and not doing any writing at home.
And the meds I'm back on really really really kill any sex drive, which of course if the major inspiration for my works :p
Aaaand...
I am doing a tiny bit of writing at work now, and Im working on a project thats been on my mind for months now.
So, yeah. If you read this, you probably realized by now I struggle incredibly hard when it comes to continuing or finishing projects. But now Ive kinda got the hang of running a business, and maybe Ill be able to start working on these writing projects in the future.
The Borealis Tavern: I can probably say I'm about 80% certain I won't be continuing this one.
The Demons Gamble: I really want to continue this, just dealing with all the diapers, dealers, achievements and pure information is so heckin' intimidating and making it hard to continue.
Family Values: I want to continue this, but I gotta be in a very specific kinda mood yaknow?
The Jade Empire: I love the world of this one, and I want to continue it for sure. Need me a diaper dependant doggy blacksmith!
In The Continent: We shall see!
So yeah. Carpentry, running a business, weird meds affecting my creativity, wanting to learn to paint diapercritters in all shapes and sizes... Unpaid work is gonna be slow going for a while haha!
Thank you guys for sticking with me all this time. I love each and every one of you and appreciate you more than I can say.
Take care and stay cozy!

I'm glad you're doing better! I think it's your turn for a vacation too :3
A vacation would be really nice for sure, just another 2 and a half years and I hope to take a good 3 months from any kind of working <3
