the new year has slipped through my fingers with frightening velocity.
i want to pause on this and reflect. so much and yet so little has occurred, i can hardly put it all together. my new years resolution was to draw daily, which i failed quite immediately, although not by my own design! rather, in my excitement to produce, i injured my wrist. i was quite disappointed by this, but quickly found myself enraptured with a new endeavor. i labored as if possessed for quite some time. months, perhaps? i forget. i have yet to finish, once again finding my passions frustratingly transient.
in the interim i finished a smaller project, another website, but i don't think i'll share it here. i'm wary of linking too many digital profiles. for reasons i won't bore you with my computer broke, and after a day tinkering with repairing it i finally submitted to an upgrade to 11. my project files are stored on separate drives and i managed to salvage what wasn't through the command line, so despite the annoyance i felt quite accomplished nevertheless. i'm tolerating the changes. i dearly miss cs6. i should replace a few parts, but i don't yet need to, so i won't. surprisingly, i'm relieved i can't play the newest games.
a few trips, visiting family and friends. frustratingly timed to interrupt my manic obsessions, but needed breaks. i enjoyed the train, i'm sick of planes.
slowly worming my way into a new online social group. not entirely sure i truly want to be there, but we share a niche fandom. i've never participated in such spaces, i don't really get them; but i feel compelled to reach out from the depths of my self-imposed solitude on occasion, even if i don't have much to say. growing more distant with my gaming friends. feeling a bit guilty, but relaxed.
cat is well, playful as ever. my tree nearly died, i forgot to water it. i'd like to live in balance with all that needs doing, but when excited by a project i become transfixed, and without one i feel quite depressed. i should really see a doctor about a possible adhd diagnosis.
it's late (early), and i can't sleep because i napped all day after traveling all morning. but i enjoy these quiet hours, even if i know i'll regret them later.
