Man, life is strange sometimes.

Not too long after I posted my last journal here at FA stating that I would "engage more", I got laid off from my then-current job. Things weren't so great for a few months, so the promise to engage more kinda went to the wayside. I struggle with depression a lot and a side effect of that is having a real problem doing things that I enjoy. Dunno why, but I have a palpable aversion to being happy in my day-to-day life. Sure, there are big events in my life that I enjoy and during those I am genuinely happy, but between those moments I'm living with a hearty 'meh'.

In any case, I wasn't unemployed for too long. In a couple of months, I picked up a new job where I am helping throw things really hard at the moon. Life has managed to return to some semblance of normalcy, so I figured I'd try to toss up some submissions like I promised over a year ago!
