What I’ve Been Up To

rodoIn the past couple of months, that is.
► Looking for a job. In this economy. Well, it’s going about as well as you’d expect.
► Keeping busy with the garden, ever since temperatures rose above freezing at night. The garden has been very neglected these past few years and since my mother is still out of commission, I’m doing the work of two people. But, the veranda is ready for summer and we’re on track with the vegetable garden for the year, unlike last year. If only this drought would stop…
► I’ve been replaying Skyrim for the first time in a decade. I do not remember it taking this long to get through – but then again, I manage maybe two hours a day, between the garden, cooking, running errands, etc. Sometimes, adulting sucks. But, I’ve built a house, adopted two children, and done a lot of quests that have zero to do with the main one, as usual. Finally managed to become arch mage and burned down too many beehives.
► Not sure what to make of the NaNoWriMo news. I didn’t participate last year because, well, everything happening in November for me, but I wasn’t sure I ever would again, after all the scandals. Right now I’m really wishing someone would make an International Writing Month with black jack and hookers. I miss the community aspect of it, even though that’s been suffering for ages, at least from my POV. People on Reddit mentioned that some people are working on replacements, but we’ll see what sticks. So far, none of them seem to be my thing. Maybe Rough Draft Month…
