I haven't updated in forever. I blame this on tumblr. I joined tumblr and started following some fellow Downton Abbey fans (so many wonderful people) and the lot of them have gotten into following tons of other good actually entertaining things on television. I have had to make myself not keep up with everything on my tumblr dash though because it has just become too much which sometimes makes me regret that I miss art and fan fic posts. But really it's a great fun place and I've been posting lots of fandom things there along with the occasional personal life thing as well cause well I was already on there so why change sites just to update another blog?
I've been working on the night shift at work the last couple of weeks training the new team lead for that shift and it's been a good fun experience. I didn't hate the hours as much as I thought I would, but ultimately I'm not regretting that I turned that particular position down. The night shift is really boring compared to the usual hustle and bustle of random projects I do on the day shift. Monday I go back to 8am-4:30pm in which I will be there during the first hour of the night shift to help set up and pass long plans and info and such... so now I'm like the transition team lead. Still a helper and no team to call all my own, but I feel like I know a lot more of what's going on now after having to learn and then cover for the morning shift team lead's vacation then turning around and teaching what was necessary from that to the night lead (since day shift had been taking care of the back end of night shift).
Still wrapping up DMG manga projects. Uploading some edits for 1 project, just turned in another project a week or so ago. Need to try to contact my other team again and if I still get no response contact my DMG contact to let them know I still want to work the project but that my team is unresponsive. I let one project fall through the cracks like that before and I'm determined not to let that happen again cause then I'll have wasted all that time doing the clean work and that's just frustrating cause that's hours of work.
Earlier this week I finally got a new pair of sneakers, specifically running shoes, specifically Nike Flex 2013 Runs. They are so comfortable and very light and springy. I got up early Tuesday and took a short run. I say short because it was short in both distance and time because I've been very inactive for well over a year and am terribly out of shape because of it, but it felt really really good. Sadly that night I overdid something to a muscle at work later that night and it persisted to hurt until yesterday so I played it safe and didn't go out again because I didn't want to screw the muscle up anymore until I was sure it was healed. Now it's that time of the month and the last thing I want to do is put on work out clothes and go running so maybe lets give this another go in a week or so. In the end I was proud of myself for just getting up and doing it because for the last half year before we moved out of my mother's house I kept trying to talk myself into going out and running around the neighborhood but just could never get up the courage cause it meant telling my mom what I was doing and I didn't want to put up with anything from her (like how my running shorts are too short or how she wouldn't go out in the neighbor hood to walk anymore because she was threatened by a stray dog once... I was getting pretty emotionally strained living with my mother at that point that I just didn't want to set myself up).
I'm trying to sell some doll and old Lolita stuff at the moment in attempts for some funds to pay off a new doll. Soom Fenny, the cute little Fox boy they released back in June. He was just sooooo adorable I couldn't resist for a second, but I haven't been very good with my personal budget lately so I half paid for him on credit card and a little bit from sales stuff. Originally most of him was to be paid for by my profit shares check from DMG, but they made it out incorrectly and I was unable to cash it and since I returned it after they started calculating for the next terms sharing I have to wait for that and they'll be sending me a combined check for the 2 terms. I'm just a little ugh, but oh well.
Today it's already after 1pm and I'm eating leftover tonkatsu we cooked earlier this week for lunch then figuring out what to do for the rest of my day. A friend invited me over for food and games and I said as long as I was feeling up to it I'd come and got told any time as for time so I'm trying to figure out what all I need to get done around the apt today before I leave for an undetermined period of time. I haven't been out too much as of recent. I keep wanting to go placed which make me want to spend money. Or I invite people over then things fall through. I keep getting invited out but I've got stuff to do or have done all the things I needed to get done then am so pooped I just can't do it.
That's all for now... Just wanted to get some things out.... keep a little update since that was the reason I started this blasted blog.
