Well Hello There

Jerrybean! Hello!

It’s been a minute, which is more and more common between posts lately, much to my frustration. Full time day jobs, depression, and exhaustion are a pain and a half. But a quick summary of what’s been going on!

  • I finished my summer class, and my fall class doesn’t start until September, since it’s a shorter class! A month without school! Yay!
  • I shaved off my beard this morning and I’m still not used to how I look!
  • Money is hard
    • Someone stole my credit card number and it sucks. Not the biggest inconvenience in the world, but really annoying! Luckily it got nipped in the bud quickly.
  • Dating is hard
  • Gender is hard
  • Mental health is hard
  • Keeping up with goals is hard
  • I’ve been practicing longboarding and I finally figured out why I was having so much trouble heel turning. I’m still struggling with balance, coordination, and not being scared of going fast, but it’s getting better! And I’m really proud of myself (perhaps disproportionately so) for figuring out my issue. My feet were too far towards the toe side of the board, so even rocking back on my heels didn’t actually lean the board very much.
  • Pokemon Go is fun! Also the only mobile game to get money from me in potentially ever. I…I needed more pokeballs.
  • Started watching what I eat again, which is slowly proving effective in the weight loss department, albeit at the cost of being a little frustrating. Some self-discipline in this category is good, though, for me. Especially given the family history of diabetes, I could use a little more being careful with what I eat. Just in case!
  • I may have finally found a pair of sandals I don’t hate the look of, just in time to wear them for two weeks to a month before the weather crashes down to being cold again. Worth it!
  • I’ve been rearranging my apartment, trying to move my productive and hangout spaces outside of my bedroom so I don’t just flop down and fall asleep. The lion’s share of the work is almost done and I’m excited! So, of course, everything right now is a horrible mess. But it’s a horrible mess with potential.
  • I went to a wedding and it was really neat and queer weddings are the best. <3
  • I’m getting the urge to make a video game again. God help us all.

I hope life is treating you well, friends! Hopefully I will be able to post more often, soon. No promises, but a person can hope!
