potato_headLong time no see~~
I am slowly getting back some spare social energy after a variety of life changes (most notably new teller job which is still going very well). I really didn't mean to disappear off the face of LJ/DW, I'm just working a lot more than I used to which means interacting with other people face-to-face a lot more than I'm used to doing.
Which, btw, is one of the great things about new job! I can now work 32 hours (and overtime! when I get it! even up to 40 hours!) without feeling like I am physically falling apart, since my job no longer requires that I stand for my entire shift, run around like a panicked deer, and haul heavy objects. Also, my boss doesn't try to guilt me if I call in sick (and I get actual payed sick days!) which helps, like, a ton.
I am still nervous sometimes that my physical condition will (almost definitely) continue to deteriorate. My leg and back both started acting up today for reasons unknown. I wasn't being especially active or anything. I also have some other health issues (that I have talked about in the past, but IDK if I want to talk about out from under locked posts any more TBH) that have been definitely getting worse as well.
Ummm...other interesting things that have happened...sister has turned out to be a genius seamstress. She made her first proper clothing item a couple of months ago - she even heavily modified the pattern - and it fit her perfectly and looked awesome, and I'm still processing the fact that she can even use a sewing machine, which I can't figure out for the life of me.
Also, Banjo-Kazooie is available now for digital download on the X-Box and we've been reliving our childhood with me playing through it and sister watching and making snarky comments and occasionally providing aid when I get stuck. It is much easier than we remember, which she and I have determined is probably because the last time I played, the N64 controllers were literally too big for my hands to hold properly.
Anyways, I'm going to be more active here probably? Ummmm don't expect too much from me all at once eh. But I will almost definitely be revising my access lists and quite possibly setting a lot of old entries to private/protected; I know there are a few of my old entries that are important to people, so if there's any you think I should consider leaving public, feel free to let me know.
