Well it's been 5 months since I last uploaded.
In those last 5 months a lot has happened, both good and bad (Only one bad thing, but I shant divulge into it, at this point it is nothing to worry about).
At the beginning of November Last Year I finally got a full time job, as a Security Officer at a Job Centre. Not the fanciest job, but for the past 3 months I have been getting on fairly well. I have scheduled hours, a decent hourly wage, within a reasonable distance from home. Something that I had been bitching about wanting since I dropped out of Uni. Something that I have said would allow to focus on doing more art work, or at least scheduling myself better to actually start working.
So, What happened to that semi-promise to myself? Well in short utter laziness. I do probably have a fair few hours in the day both after work and during work (Though I would only do SFW stuff at work (I ain't a bloody perv))where I can dedicate myself to being more active with this art stuff. But I find myself always wanting to not do much.
Though the site I work at is a quiet one (Which is quite surprising as it is a job centre in the UK), I do find myself doing a lot of work (Thankfully no physical intervention as of yet), and by the end of the day I am usually out of it. Distracting myself by watching stuff (AOT for instance...I am slowly becoming a weeb), or trying to play games (Like ProjectZomboid, M&B: Bannerlord, Humankind, etc) if I am in the mood. But in the most part I have not been too motivated to do it.
However, the thing that has been sucking up what little motivation I have of being creative, is actually a project I am working with my Father on. Essentially since before I was born, he had been writing a book series, and only since last year has been converting the files, from an analogue Word 97 to the latest version of Word.
His first book has been converted and essentially I have been slowly editing the book with him. It has been a slow but entertaining process and I hope to share more about the project in the future (Probably in about a year if I don't quicken up the pace at this point).
It shouldn't really be taking up all my motivation, and I do plan to try and reorganise myself (The point of this entire journal is essentially a means to prod myself in the right direction) so that I can do more regular stuff, and clear the gunk that is clogging up my noggin.
But this reorganisation may have to wait until March, as I am going to go for surgery. Not a major life-changing operation of course, this is just a well overdue minor procedure. Essentially I have a Bi-lateral Squint. I have had it for years, which usually was noticeable when I was tired, but now it is basically out all the time. It doesn't really cause much issue in my life, as the majority of the problems is mitigated by the fact that my brain is able to compensate for my eyes lack of cohesion.
The operation is due near the end of the month (Which is also the week before my Birthday, so that'll be interesting), and I'll be off for that week (So that I can recover from the operation). This isn't my first time being anesthetised, my first was a dental operation that was incredibly traumatic (Hence why I haven't had it sooner). The Silly Aussie bastard kept missing my blooming veins, and I probably passed out from shock than the actual anaesthetic (My mum also passed out when it happened). But thats life for ya, shit happens and you have to just get up and keep going.
But thats basically everything that has happened so far.
I do miss doing art stuff, but as I have said the motivation isn't there at the moment.
But as I always say, We shall see.
Anyways, Thank you for reading,
Take Care everyone, and cheers for reading.
