State of Me
Oct. 11th, 2011 02:35 pmActually, the State of Me is pretty good. I'm healthy (mostly), happy (mostly), and whole. My family is in pretty good shape, and while a couple of my friends are in hard spots, it's nothing they can't get out of. I'm very lucky to be where I am right now.
Which is not to say that I don't want to try to get to another spot. Someplace different might be nice.
I will hopefully, after the remodel of my branch of the library, have an opportunity to move out of my parents' house and into an apartment with a friend of mine. I think that would be really cool and fun, and she has a pug that I'm fairly certain Nefret would get along with just fine. And it's still close to my parents, it's inexpensive so I could probably afford it, but it's not a given so I'm not counting on it.
But that's all coming after NaNo, which is going to be crazy. For the first time ever I'm going to be working virtually full-time hours through November, while trying to be an ML. Other people have done it, and so can I. I also have two house-sitting jobs in between, so that'll help on the cash front.
Anyway...Life goes on. It continues, even when you think it can't possibly. That's something, I guess.
Sirens was amazing and fun, and I can't even keep track of all the awesomeness that happened that weekend in Vail. It's going to be in Portland, OR next year, so I'm not sure I'm going to get to go. It's a toss-up, because I would like to be an independent adult some time in my life, and that might have to outweigh the fun and fancy of Sirens next year. We'll see.
But it is that time again for me, the time to take stock of the previous year (aside from Where the fuck did it go?!) and make plans for the next one.
