WOOT! WOOT! That's right, bay-bay! I have turned 26 years old today officially! Man it has been a crazy year's worth of time between this n' my last birthday.

2019 in particular has been one of my roughest years. I had the car accident that destroyed my car, which in turn spiralled into several additional problems: had to scrape together n' borrow a lot of money to buy a used car, which then put me in a real tight budgetary situation. That car, by the way, is now misfirin' in one of its cylinders--n' I don't have the available cash to go get it diagnosed n' then fixed. On top of that, on the upcomin' Thursday, I have the court date for the accident that led to all this in the first place--don't have the money to pay for that fine either, hooray! To compound upon everythin', work has been at its most MISERABLE than it ever has been, from toxic attitudes from coworkers n' owners alike, plus we went through so many employees, so many hours of wasted trainin'. Oh, n' let's not forget the threat of eviction scare was this year, too. Callin' this year rough is as understated as I can get, really.

But there's been good with the bad. I've been more social than I have in years, actually forgin' new friendships with excellent folks n', slowly but surely, reignitin' and tendin' to friendships I don't want to lose. My highspeed, high-powered streamin' computer is finally built and runs amazingly. Speakin' of which, m'finally investin' more time n' energy into my streamin'--m'no breakthrough Twitch star, but m'startin' to see better numbers as I drag myself out of stagnation. Plus, I even have a nice corner for streamin' in a better part of the apartment that virtually eliminates the worry of bein' a noise complaint. That's all definitely kept me sane.

This year is gonna end roughly, especially where money is concerned. But I definitely fought it all the way, n' made it to my birthday intact! Adds to the suck that I gotta work on this, my birthday, but eh... m'determined to stay positive n' happy throughout it, no matter what! After all, it is a celebration, n' m'gonna have fun n' celebrate... even if the more official aspects have to be delayed another day, haha!
