I'm trying to make myself get at least a little bit of NaNo noveling and suchlike done before I let myself go to furmeets and such. ...It's not working that well. : 0-P Bryndels feel freaking UNACCOMPLISHED and UNMOTIVATED, heh. Badly-behaved knees are not helping get anything productive done either, but even the non-physical stuff I'm rather meh about of late. Trying to stave off depression is not fun, and not always successful. But I'm holding my own for the most part.

While not quite as much in dread of the holidays as I have been of some of them in the past, I'm...not much looking forward to getting through them this year. I'll probably just end up spending them with my immediate family like always, but we're not getting along very well and, though I'm pretty sure I'm still expected to show up, I really don't FEEL exactly welcome in their lives or homes anymore in a lot of ways. Urgh. ...Will also split spending time with the boyfriend's family, most likely, like I have the last two years, and though I still don't know my in-laws that stunningly well that actually sounds more appealing right now. At least I don't have to worry about them threatening to dump my elderly cat at the shelter and what have you.

Meantime, things on Pern are moving along <.< Been working on stuff with friends that's nearly ready and which almost makes up for other issues going on elsewhere. And doodling dragons and riders may yet teach me to halfway-competently draw humans...maybe! e.e;; If I ever get any art at all done, that is; my sketchbook has been much-neglected, sigh. I need to FINISH and color some things for a change, at some point.
Haven't been poking at my needlefelting critters nearly enough either, but they still make all the . Seems like a good sign, I'd think? I'm hoping to stock up on a few more colors of wool for a better palette to work with early next year but, hrm...we'll see. Money's tighter than I'd like, as always.
