    I should have written this a long time ago. It's been embarrassing. I've been embarrassed. I've also felt like, hey, I'm washed-up and haven't written anything in ages, so why should folks care?

    But I might as well be honest, because if not now, when?

    I lost my job.

    I woke up and remembered our song

    Well, it was never really our song
    It was a song I heard once, from you, and we talked about it
    And I'm not sure if you even remember that conversation now, or if you listen to the song
    It's not like the music you play now at all

    And maybe you moved on from that, too
    Wouldn't be the first time

    But I shouldn't begrudge you
    I keep telling myself that
    You're happier now, more successful

    It's been a while. I could talk about things being busy, but things are always busy. I'm not going anywhere, barring very unfortunate circumstances, and I appreciate everyone who's still been following along with this account.

Not super feeling it right now, guys. Got a meeting this late afternoon/evening and another tomorrow morning, involving co-workers, a performance review and a meeting about our current product. (The performance review should, honestly, be fine, but that's not going to stop me from worrying.)

I could have typed stuff during the con, but, well - it was a wonderful convention and i want to gush about it later.

Speaking of gushing, the reason why i didn't start typing up stuff as soon as i got home on thursday afternoon was because basically every single major appliance in my apartment broke down while i was away. We're talking fridge, toilet, piping for water, vents having a lower drawn than usual, just everything.

I've been alternating between cleaning frantically, filing maintenance requests to the apartment over new problems, desperately trying to distract myself because i can't handle the thought of doing any more cleaning and getting the shivers. As of right now, I think the toilet and refrigerator are working again, so i'll count those as small mercies. I spent a lot of time mopping and lost a lot of paper towel, toilet paper and groceries in the process, but at least it's not a total loss.

I'm looking forward to a nice, long shower, some fresh clothes and loud music to distract me from all of it.

So, yeah, funny stuff will come later in the week, I promise.

wow, heck D: I hope that clears up quickly.

A refrigerator, a working toilet and a dry, clean place to live are rather essential these days. Sorry you're have a rough patch of luck but it sounds as though it's getting better. Do take care. Look forward to your thoughts on BronyCon.
