Onward · 9:10am July 31st
Greetings again FIMFiction! It’s been a hot minute since we’ve talked, huh? It’s been a wild ride thus far. But not a terrible one. It’s been a big week, so I kind of felt like an update was necessary. Mercifully, this is a pretty uplifting one!
The first week of July, I house sat for my best friend and her mom while they went on a trip, taking care of their pets. It was a defining week in my life. For the first time, I was completely on my own, and I loved every single second of it. I functioned the best I ever had in that week. I ate three times a day, got all of the chores done, took good care of the pets, and I still had time to do things that I enjoyed, like write and actually watch new things (Okay, maybe they were just new to me, but that’s fine). I used the money to buy myself some Korean lessons at last. Unfortunately my initial tutor cancelled our sessions after realizing her schedule was too full. Nonetheless, having a lesson from a tutor was a huge win.
I am also happy to report that in that same week I became a godmother to my best friend of fourteen years’ newborn son. I couldn’t go visit them in the hospital unfortunately (though my godson initially had jaundice so I couldn’t have gotten to hold him either). I have gotten to meet him twice since, and he’s super cute. I also got to be maid of honor for that friend last Friday at her wedding, which was a huge win for her. She had all of her kids with her, me and my mom, and a friend of her now-husband. It’s been really beautiful to get to see that she fell in love with somebody amazing.
The home front is always something I take day by day. My Mom went back to school this week and tomorrow is her first day with students in class, while my Dad paints the kitchen in what is by far the most frustrating home improvement to date because it leaves the kitchen dysfunctional. But, I’m dealing with it. Mostly by writing fics for Batman and The Avengers. My dog is doing well (currently snoozing behind me at the moment). Kiddo is also doing well, and is sassy as ever. I’m really hoping to get back to Florida soon to be able to visit with her.
I still feel like better things are coming. I think this is a nice sneak preview before the good. I’ve decided, it’s only up from here. I’ve spent way too many years at Rock Bottom. It’s time to go up toward the top. I don’t know how I’ll get there, or what will wait for me when I do, but I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me. And as always: Thanks for listening, Fimfiction. I look forward to seeing what the future holds!
XOXO,
Cloe
