Wow it's been ages since I've used this... especially since blogs have really fallen in popularity and I mostly ended up using it to post instructions on how to do tricky things that I couldn't find information on elsewhere.
So, now I've had this idea to try to post a blog a day. Not for the attention, not to try to resurrect this or make money, but as an exercise for myself.
In these last few years I've had a lot of health changes. I've basically gone from somebody that chose to work 70+ hours a week for the fun of it to barely pushing through 15 or so hours a week of minimal effort tasks. Some of the health problems are diagnosed. The doctors have vague ideas on other problems, and I'm basically left disabled with a family to care for.
The amazing thing is my extended family has let me keep my job with them, even though I can't do much at all. So now, I get to do a lot of re-thinking my life... all the time... every day.
One thing that has become specifically difficult is thinking through new, hard problems. Learning how to do something new, playing a new board game, reading a new book, etc. It's made it difficult to try to transition to a career that I could actually provide for myself.
So in my last visit with a councilor, she suggested I try something smaller, something that is reachable and after a few days of thinking on it, I thought maybe I should try to dust off my old writing talents and try to make them more valuable, at least try to keep them around.
If you're an actual person who's actually reading this... first I'll say I'm shocked, but second I'll also say I can't promise an actual post every day. I'll try to keep posting more often though. I'd thought of a weekly schedule, but then I'd just procrastinate to the end of the week and probably not get it done, so for now, I'll write whenever, hopefully I'll do much better than never though.
I'm sure most of these posts will have bad grammar, be very scattered, and will include oxford commas. I like my oxford commas...
