My work has been going very well lately, but it's kept me busy. I'm back in the swing of teaching, and I'm trying to get things together to start an LLC next year. I'm notoriously bad with money, bureaucracy, and business dealings, so I have a long road ahead of me.

I've been grappling with the details of my identity as a furry as I've been feeling more and more distanced from this fandom. There's only a few furries that I regularly chat with, but I haven't been feeling much of a drive to meet more. My artistic journey is sporadic and personal, and I'm starting to get the feeling that deeper involvement in the fandom isn't meant for me. I'll be attending an NYC furry meetup in a few days. It'll be my first real "furry exposure" since Anthrocon, and I'm a little bit nervous.

I'm at a juncture in my life where I have a definite timeframe to decide what I want to do with my life. The next few months are going to be crucial for me, and I have a lot of difficult decisions starting to boil up. How I make my living, where I actually live, what hobbies to pursue, and questions of my own identity are all vying for attention, and my notorious impatience is knocking at the back of my skull. Things might change a lot for me depending on how much effort I put in.

Thanks for putting up with a wee bit of self-expression on a not oft-frequented furry site. Have a song:
