Getting Back to Where I Once Belonged
Oct. 3rd, 2019 08:19 amDidn't do a three things post last night because we have guests! Brian Reynolds and Erik Rosengarten are staying with us over the weekend for FA United. :)
I technically have a dealer table at the con, but I have done literally nothing for it beyond registering. With the whole life-situation thing being where it is lately, I haven't had the bandwidth for dealing with things like conventions—as it is, it's taken an act of congress to get any art done.
That said, I do feel like I'm making progress. I've got a job interview this afternoon and I'm making progress on the writing front, and while things are still challenging I don't feel hopeless and stuck like I did two weeks ago. There's also a trend of positive developments out in the world—not exactly what I'd call "good" news, more like "people have finally decided that slouching towards the apocalypse might be a bad thing." There's a well-known aphorism "When you've dug yourself into a hole, stop digging!" that about sums it up. It feels like, maybe, people have stopped digging. And that's an improvement.
I declared to Blitzy and a few others that the weekend before last, when I was so sick from the flu shot that I literally could not breathe and sleep at the same time (and ended up getting something like five hours of sleep over the course of three days), was me hitting the bottom. That weekend was as low as I was willing to go, and it was time to start climbing back up out of the hole. It seems the Universe was listening, and I'm grateful and excited for that.
I want my life to be easy and fun!
