oh, hello

I have a pretty solid finish to last month's Bloganuary, and then I... disappeared. This time, it isn't because I ran out of steam! But it was redirected elsewhere.

There's the health issues I've referenced in the last few months, and that does cause some anxiety. I've been trying to eat better and work out (at least walk!) more, so I'm hoping that'll help. And drink water!

But also.

Due to Reasons, I'll need to move later this year. That's always stressful, yes, but there's also the added wrinkle of some relationship transitions (or alternatively, break ups) that also entail the shake-up of living situations. I've had some time to come to terms with it and prepare, but it doesn't make it easier.

So that's been stressful.

I've been relieving my stress with fanfiction. Writing silly things, for fun, and indulging in one of my favorite What-Ifs. And it has helped, but I think I'm ready to work on some blog drafts and my other projects more.

I've noticed that I tend to only update this blog when I have something big to say. An informal essay of something about three pages. I should relax and not be afraid of smaller, more concise entries.

Like this one.

So, yeah, another transition. New beginning and all of that. Nothing terribly profound.

I am not looking forward to uprooting and packing some memories away.
