Updates On My Life
5 years ago
Given my relative inactivity on FA these days, beyond a submission posting every once in a while, I thought I'd give a summarized list of what's been going on with me these days; some good, some bad.
- Work has dominated my life these days. As an assistant manager, I've got a lot of responsibility and have in some ways been doing more than the store manager herself. I've been putting in more hours than ever and sometimes, it's left me exhausted at the end of the day. Depending on the way I'm scheduled, I may end up getting NO sleep at all the night before I have to be up and at work as early as 6AM. This happened Saturday night into Sunday morning, so I ended up feeling like a walking zombie all day until I finally got off at 3pm. Ended up sleeping nearly all the way from 4pm that afternoon til 11am Monday morning. If things continue to evolve with work, especially if I get my own store, I may end up making more drastic lifestyle changes to better adapt.
- The Anthroverse. I'm sad to say, but it seems as though it may never return despite all my best attempts at doing so. The mind is willing, but these typing hands aren't. I guess there's just too much going on in my life that at the end of the day, I just don't have it in me. What's more, I got 25 new watchers on my new Anthroverse account and I feel like I've let them down. I just don't know what to say other than I'm sorry for losing touch with the story I've put so much time and effort into, made even more possible with all of Mimic's kind help on them. I don't know if I'll retire from writing yet or what. But if things don't find a way to change enough to make room for the stories, I'm not sure what else I'll do.
- Upcoming road trip. Now that I finally got my yearly vacation time, I can finally use it to take a planned road trip to Pennsylvania, where some of my friends live. So if anyone else lives on the west side of Pennsylvania or the east side of Ohio, I'll be in that area. I'm open to visiting some people. Let me know, if so.
- Upcoming birthday. My birthday is less than a month away now. For all that is good, I'm asking you. A little art would be nice, but I've stopped expecting any. But if nothing else, PLEASE be kind enough to take the merest of moments to wish me a Happy Birthday (ON my birthday, of course, not here) when it comes. Last couple years, hardly anyone could even be bothered to do even THAT much, and it's left me feeling depressed, like I'm not worth anyone's time. You have any idea how sad it makes me feel to think few people give a shit about me?! So I'm asking you, when I post that birthday journal, respond to it. Let me know I matter. I would do the same for anyone else who asks.
