I woke up feeling strangely refreshed and energized today, after the total solar eclipse that took place yesterday. It’s also a New Moon! You may find this “too woo-woo,” but I find there’s something true about it all. It’s physical and psychological both, and I’m here for it.
Anyhow!
A lot has transpired in my life since I last updated this space. I keep meaning to make it a part of my routines, but my routines keep changing, so… Here I am, again. And I’m feeling the urge to write, to pour it all out. Really! I couldn’t sleep until about 2 AM, because my mind was swirling around with ideas. Sorry that I’m being vague, but there is just so much on my mind, and it’s difficult to be concise as I’m writing this. I wanted to get started, break the ice by bringing this journal to life.
Last time I updated this site, I was writing daily, mainly for my Worldbuilding projects, over on WorldAnvil. I was also preparing for NaNoWriMo. My one-year old had just started daycare, and I thought that would give me back a lot of time and energy for other things,… except that didn’t happen. I’ve been naive, as first time moms often are. Now, my son is almost two, and he’s wilder than ever. We’ve also been sick a lot since he entered daycare, and things at work have been challenging. Suffice to say, I’m doing my best to stay afloat and provide. I’m trying to take care of myself, too, of course. But it’s a lot to juggle, and I don’t always manage to balance things in a healthy way. I’ve been trying to get back into the writing habit, while also getting into crochet and adult coloring, and showing up for D&D night every week, without crashing mid-session due to exhaustion. Single Mom life is hard, but I’m determined to make it work. Not that I got much of a choice, anyway. ;) I love life, and I love my little monster, and my furbabies, so we’re here for the long haul.
With that said, though, I’m hoping to open up a basic page for each of the hobbies I’m currently into (crochet, writing, coloring, reading, RPGs…), so I can share more about them with you all. It might take time, for all the reasons I just mentioned. But I don’t give up. I’ll eventually get to it. And if you’re still around by then, it’ll make me so happy if you can leave me a comment on my Neocities profile. I’d love to hear from you.
Until then, see ya!
