---------------------------------------- What a year November 14th, 2023 ---------------------------------------- What a year it's been. I've barely been on gopher or gemini at all. So much going on! What's eating up all my time? Well, at the start of the year it was work, and then getting sick, and then more work as we took on a whole extra client that we were pretty sure wasn't gonna stick around. That turned out to be correct, and by not staffing up to it we avoided having to fire a bunch of people, which I'm thankful for. But then I was spent as well. Summer happened, some travel, some not travel, things started settling. Then I traveled for work to a different client thing and got covid again. That sucked. My cough is mostly gone, finally. Then I decided to take Icelandic seriously and enrolled in the University of Iceland in a full-time college program. Now that's dominating my mornings all week every week, followed by my job dominating the afternoon and evenings. In the small gaps I get that aren't filled with study, I've been playing in a few TTRPG games. Well, running them, mostly, but that counts as play. I'm in my last regular week of classes now, and final exams are two & three weeks out. Then I have the holiday break before the second semester. Thankfully this is only a two semester program, so by June I'll be back to my own life again. Oh! and Season 2 of Solarpunk Prompts has started up. I'm writing and recording that somewhere in the middle of everything else. I miss you, gopher! I'll be back, I promise. *sigh*
