An "I don't have livejournal anymore" sort of update. · 2:14pm Nov 16th, 2022
It snowed yesterday.
Which just reminded me how much I don't like winter. It wasn't even a bad snow, just enough of a dusting to linger for a little bit. First one of the season. And I even had the day off from work, due to my schedule, so it's not like I had to do anything ...
So I didn't.
Or, well, I puttered around, played a little Darkest Dungeon, read a not-very-good book I got from the library the day before, and did a little light dusting and cleaning. Which was, depending on when you asked me, either a pleasant and relaxing day, or just another wasted 24 hours in this short time we all have on the planet. Bleh. I even said to myself "oh hey, maybe I should go see the new Black Panther movie on my day off?" but then I realized it was my day off and it was too late to go see a show. (Too late for me, at least. I'm an old man who starts thinking about bed as soon as it gets dark).
Really, with the nights getting cooler and longer, and the holidays making my schedule busier, I just fear getting into a rut. I haven't been writing very much as of late, which makes me get frustrated with myself because I like to think I'm halfway good at it, and someday I'll get something non pony related published on the shelf at a Real People Bookstore (or at least self published on Amazon Kindle?). But I just don't have the brainpower or ambition to really dive into it as of late, which makes me fear I'm gonna be just doing the same old stuff foreeeevar. Or something.
(Suffice it to say, I didn't bother signing up for NaNoWriMo this year).
Still, I'm at least self aware enough to recognize that I'm honestly doing pretty well, writing-angst aside. And I've actually got plans to Do Stuff(tm) later, even! D&D on discord tonight, then various friend-type adventures on the weekend. So that's nice?
But yeah. Just thought I'd ramble a little bit and bemoan my lack of ambition, or ... something.
Sounds like you had a very relaxing day.
Didn’t Livejournal die along with Blogspot?
Live Journal? Sheesh, you are old. ; )
I've kind of been feeling in a rut lately, just sort of waiting for the weekend all the time while wishing I had executive function enough to do the things I really need to be doing rn :|
Pfah, your livejournal is probably still there. Mine is :P
