So, 2023 is winding to a close.

Gonna break this down into positive, negative, and mixed stuffs.

Positive:

-employed. Been working at a local grocery store since 2022 and making decent money.
-gaming. This has been a big positive, as has my YouTube channel. Lots of gaming done, lots of videos made, lots of stress dumped.

Negative:
-roomie's dad passed away at the start of December. So we're kinda dealing with the fallout from that still.
-my good aunt passed in July from brain cancer. That was very rough to deal with, particularly the travel (WA-->NC-->WA)

Mixed:
-got adopted by an adorable Manx/domestic shorthair mix in late April. Found out she was pregnant and she gave birth in July to six kittens. We adopted out two of them, leaving four here at the house. The mom loves me, the runt loves the female roomie. LOTS of vet bills.
-health has been mixed. Avoided Covid, but got hit with another respiratory bug in October that is still sticking around. Sciatica and arthritis are getting bad due to work.
-mental health has also been mixed. Lots of "pink" (read as ultra-feminine/"sissy" feelings and thoughts) but also quite a few "...meh..." days too. Taking some vitamin D so we'll see if that improves.

So that's really about it. Hopefully, 2024 will be better. ^.^
