So much has happened over the past few weeks, and I'm sorry to lump it all in one post... but a lot of it is the past couple days. So here we go.

My New Year's resolution is going well, I'm hanging out in chats more often, chatting with my coworkers, that kind of thing. It's really making me feel better as a person, and I'm glad I'm spending my free time on that rather than watching endless amounts of videos. Now to just get back into the RP mood...

Secondly, this year is starting to become one of self-improvement. The largest change is I've finally gone to a dentist to deal with the hot mess that is my teeth. Unfortunately... this is where some of the bad news comes in. Turns out I need about 5 root canals, and they are EXPENSIVE. After taking care of some gum work and taking care of one tooth, my insurance premium has been hit, so I basically have no more dental insurance for the rest of the year. While I could just wait until next year to do one, I really don't want it to take 5 years to fix this... especially as my bad teeth are likely why I get sick so often (compromised immune system from constantly fighting infection). So, as a result I'm going to be working harder than before to make some scratch.

...which brings me to the third thing. I've been doing a fair bit more writing, and have a few short stories I'm working on edits for before posting up. I want to start posting on a reliable basis (at least one a month... hopefully get back up to my old prime of one a week), with the goal of being comfortable doing commissions. I also want to get back into doing non-vore stuff, as I do worry I'm getting awfully stagnant staying in this one area. Even if I do enjoy it.

And finally... some heavy news which prompted me to post this now instead of at the end of the month. I just found out today that one of my little brothers is dead. Drug overdose, it happened a week ago though word only reach me today. I wasn't too close too him, so I'm not devastated but... this is the first time someone I've known as more than just an acquaintance has died. I still don't know how I'm going to take it. I don't think it's hit me that it really happened. Suppose I won't know for sure how I feel until the funeral.
