It's been long enough
I guess a year and a half is long enough to go without posting. I guess I just didn't have anything to say, which isn't weird. I'm an introvert and evidently that extends to my online presence. So how's my life been so far? Let's see.
In general:
My 2nd son recently returned from 2 years away, which is great. He's fun to be around and generally brightens up our lives. But things have not gone the way he planned for after his return. Thanks Covid-19, for wrecking another life plan. He is dealing with it in stride as much as possible. He got a job and has a sort-of girlfriend. School will have to wait.
My youngest came out as non-binary and pansexual about a year ago. This was a shock, though I did kind of feel something was up before they told me. At the beginning of the year, they also changed their name. All this has been quite an adjustment and I still slip up from time to time on the name and pronoun things, though extended family has been very supportive. I'm grateful for that.
Writing:
I'm basically only writing once a week now for camelot_drabble. At least it keeps my feet wet and is fairly fun. I jump into a fest now and then, but still don't write much over 1K words,
Reading:
I've set a Goodreads goal this year to read 50 books. So far I'm ahead, having read over 30 as of today. I'm a fairly eclectic reader, but lately I tend to go with romances- nice, fluffy stuff to get me through this stupid pandemic. Which reminds me that I need to go to the library to turn in some books and check out more.
Gaming:
Yes, I game, but not as hard as some people. Lately I've beaten Pokemon Ultra Sun and have taken the post-game as far as I want to. For Mother's Day, I got Pokemon Sword. I beat that in a week and have been working though post-game stuff and expansion pass stuff. It's fun and it keeps me occupied while my son is gaming on my computer.
I think I've written all I'm going to write for today. My life is incredibly uncomplicated but I manage to stay occupied. That's all I can ask for. If you made it this far, thank you and have a great day/night!
