Better days~
4 years ago
Dang, has it really been a year since I posted a journal? Okay wow...
Hope everyone is doing okay. I guess I should post something about my whereabouts, the future of myself and Whisper, and anything else going on in my life-
How is Whisper doing?
Good. Similar to her creator, she is a busy little kunoichi!
Due to my job and real life obligations (which I will get to that part shortly), I don't have the time to post art like I used to. But I'm still buying art, and do my best to post when I am able to.
Just know we both appreciate all the favs, watches, and support from all of you.
How are YOU doing?
Uh...I'm here? Haha. As stated above, due to my job and real life, I'm really not as active on here as I used to be. But I'm doing really well now!
Earlier this year I was not really happy with my life...mostly due to toxic coworkers, and a boss that was racist, discriminated, and showed blatant favoritism. Every person in my department was a walking work meme if that says anything.
To the point I went from loving a job I had been in for almost 10 years, to dreading it.
Long story short, it was time for a change.
As of last month, I got another job offer in my facility. Which came with a promotion and raise!
In addition, I've received a bit of praise and recognition within the facility as I'm one of the few people there that has moved up the corporate ladder (because apparently getting promotions at my job is a feat of strength!) Hard work and patience does pay off :)
How's the weight loss going?
Still fat as ever :|
Okay, okay...I'm not fat, however, I'm not where I want to be. Clothes wise, I'm in between sizes: smalls and mediums. Smalls are too clingy; mediums are too big. So yeah...trying to find that happy medium where I actually like how I look and am happy with my body.
And no, unlike Whisper, I don't have abs! LOL.
Otherwise, our bodies are somewhat similar? I guess you'll have to take my word for it since I'm not posting my picture online.
Anything else going on?
Nope. Just enjoying life at the moment and trying to stay out of trouble. I'm quite happy when things are quiet and calm in my life: the less drama, the happier I am.
Am I forgetting anything...? I guess not.
If anyone has any other questions for myself or Whisper, just ask! Or you can say hi. I hope everyone is doing well and safe. Take care~

But yes, thank you for the congrats! It only took me 9.5 years to move up the ladder...I went from a peon to mid-level peon! Not quite a manager, but higher than I was, so it's progress :)
I will say this, the higher you get in the workplace, you see more corruption: WAY more. Sometimes I miss just having a simple desk job.
Oh everyone gets a ticket/citation: don't stress over that. There are way worse things you could get in trouble for. Just focus on not letting people on the road aggravate you so much.
"One of my managers said there's no need to have a gym membership as this job will give you quite a workout, and since I'm a full-time employee I get to work up to ten hours five days a week" He's right. Typically people that work with their hands all day and are active are usually in good shape...assuming you watch your eating habits. I mean it wouldn't hurt for you to join a gym, if nothing else to have a way to unwind after a long day of work or on your off days, but you can workout for free at home doing youtube videos, or walking around your neighborhood.
What the hell?! You weigh less than I do...dang it Lane! LOL
Joking aside, depending on your height, please disregard your mom and her advice. If anything, I'd recommend you work on gaining some lean muscle and maintaining your weight if you want to do anything. Don't worry about "bulking" or trying to get bigger. Plus lifting will make you feel more confident in yourself and is a great destressor.
...as is boxing/punching. Trust me, boxing will help too. Just ask Gabby-B. He boxes all the time to stay in shape and maintain his figure. He can probably give you some advice on footwork and form if you ask him nicely
I imagine with your job and busy schedule, you likely haven't been able to play many games haha. Though I'm curious, what games/genres did you enjoy?
Yes, my last job was very toxic and emotionally draining. My close friends and family can attest there were days I was so depressed and unhappy...from a job of all things! Now that I'm in a position I enjoy again, I'm not as stressed, my weight is going down (because apparently you can retain and gain weight from stress; go figure), and even my overall mood has changed for the better! I'm just glad I found an escape before it really affected my health.
I still play WoW, though I am not as hardcore as I used to be: I mostly raid and do mythics with my friends.
Outside of that, I'm not really playing anything else, even though I have a plethora of untouched games on Steam!
I tend to enjoy rpgs, fantasy, hack and slash (mostly this), fighting, and the occasional puzzle game. It depends on my mood more than anything.
also " So yeah...trying to find that happy medium" so literally a happy (slightly slmaller) medium XD hehe
Bahaha, I see what you did there. Yeah, it really is. I rather be a "happy small" but hey, I'm not going to complain either way.
I really should reach out more but meh...real life just sucks my energy most days (mentally and physically) so I'm doing good just to say hi to people most of the time, haha.
I hope you are doing well also!
I really do hope things work out for you and this project; that would be a phenomenal opportunity and financial situation for you.
