Alright, take two on writing this entry! I’m still trying to get used to writing long form journals again, instead of shooting off every thought I have in 280 characters or less. So let's see what I’ve been up to lately…

Lots of work related stress, a seemingly endless stream of applications to send out, lots of pointless back and forth. I just hate small talk and job hunting is like being perpetually stuck in small talk purgatory. And trying to juggle my current job on top of that while my mind is not on the task at hand at all has been hellish. At least I’ve had two weeks off for now, next week it's back to purgatory for me.
At least I can work part time at my current job, even though the pay isn't all that great. But my tolerance for putting up with people’s bullshit isn't great either!

I have still been trying to find time to write and work on my Poolverine fic on and off, hopefully I’ll actually get it finished at some point. Executive dysfunction has been kicking my ass on getting that one out the door on top of everything else.

Lastly, I got into Kingdom Come: Deliverance! (Just like seemingly everybody else, haha.)
The game had been sitting in my Steam library since at least early 2019, if not actually 2018 back when it came out. Seeing all the high praise the sequel was getting made me finally pick it up and now I regret not listening to my friends when they told me how fun the drinking mission with Hans Capon was and how great it is to play as a peasant who doesn't even know how to read.
I started this year off with rewatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I’ve just been in a mood for medieval and/or fantasy stuff, which is sort of rare for me!
I actually went all out and finally upgraded my computer pretty much just for KCD2. The last time I upgraded was back in 2015 and while it has lasted me a good ten years now, the loading times on newer games were starting to get atrocious. Seems like only my rare medieval/fantasy fancies can get me to invest in upgrading my PC, haha!

So, I decided to actually post something on here and I figured, why not write up some of the stuff that's been going on this month.
Or at least, so far. I can't believe it's only the 9th, urgh.

We started off December strong by having the worst IBS flare-up I've had in forever, which is just great. I traced it back to the cafeteria food at work, which has been not very IBS friendly lately. Just legumes and onions day in, day out. But since I'm technically still in my vocational rehabilitation process after a number of health problems sprouted up last year, which is a story for another time. So all that is to say that while I'm still in vocational rehab, work really really expects me to eat in the cafeteria every day because they want me to socialize and be part of the team again. Which is stupid to begin with, but whatever.

It's going to be fun to go back to work next week and have to explain that no, I can't eat here, no matter how much good you think it'll do. Otherwise I'll be out sick for weeks again, and nobody wants that. Least of all me.

Another great day was when I realized I should probably actually see a doctor for my stomach problems and the waiting time was, I kid you not, three hours. The doctor I went to was having IT troubles that day and look, I get it. I try to be a nice, understanding patient whenever I have to go there so my doctor hopefully takes all of my complaints seriously and I don't get on their shit list. But three hours is just slightly too much. Just a little. Especially since I felt like I was about to have a chestburster pop out of my guts the entire time I had to wait.

But on a more positive note, when I got home on Friday last week, I was surprised to see how many cars were parked in my street. Turns out the small town I live in was going to appear on local tv because of some sort of town anniversary. I got home just in time to make it to the closing shot where (almost) the entire town was waving up at a drone. I couldn't even make myself out in the shot when it aired on the news, but that suits me just fine because I usually hate being filmed. I just couldn't escape the allure of being on the local news.

So here's to hoping that this week I'll get back into the groove of things and that life will be a little less chaotic before the yearly holiday hecticness starts. Maybe I'll even manage to finish writing the Deadpool & Wolverine fic I'm currently working on before the end of the year like I promised Hannah.
