Once again, its the 23rd (well it *almost* is, just another 45 minutes away), and that means another birthday is here, and another year has passed. This has definitely been a watershed year of sorts, since moving in with my boyfriend was a pretty big step. Honestly we aren't exactly where we need to be just yet, but then that gives us something to work for in the near future, now doesn't it! For me, I'm going to find a new career. I've grown way too tired and stressed out at my current job which I've had for 5 and a half years now, and a change of venue is sorely needed. Beyond that, I might need to find a new career overall, but I feel in that sense I'm 18 again and I've no idea what I want to pursue.

But right now is a time for celebration and reflection -- I'll be 32 now. And just a few days after is Christmas, then a few days later, New Years, then a few more days after that, Further Confusion, which will be my 4th overall, and possibly last as a staff member. I'm not ragequitting or anything dramatic like that, it just seems like life has become exponentially complicated at times, and dealing with something like con volunteer work only makes things more difficult. I still enjoy the experience and may help again at some point, but I think I'm going to take a step or two back and just go back to being an attendee.

Also I hope to hit up a few more furry events next year. I'd love to go to Campfire Tails again, and I'm hoping possibly Califur is in the mix too. But again, a lot of that is dependent on getting the new job, which I hope can happen soon ...
