It's still snowing.

Not much to update here. It keeps snowing despite it nearly being May (though it's usually followed by rain). I, like everyone else around, am just waiting for something to change, hopefully for the better.

So I've started using this time to do some personal research -- I've been reading a lot of non-fiction lately and am trying to apply some of the methods and principles to my life, but I'm probably not doing that great with it. It's getting there, it takes some time to click for me.

Insight Timer and Woebot are keeping me less anxious during this time too. Two months ago I would have never said that I liked meditation, but honestly, I kind of look forward to it now each day. And while Woebot is probably not a good replacement for a therapist, it's still good for walking you through some cognitive behavioral techniques (also, Woebot is very cute, which is always a bonus).

And that's about it.

One year after the pandemic began

Over here on my little island we're just coming out of level 5 lockdown. For the last month, we've been dealing with a massive cluster of cases along with one of the Covid-19 variants. It appears to be settling down now. We've had the longest provincial election ever (which still isn't over, by the way!). We have a vaccine plan now so the ball is finally rolling on that. I am genuinely not sure what day it is because of how repetitive everything has been. In fact, I started using a planner not because I had anything to keep track of, but because it's proof that something happened each day. It is not a very big planner, just an A6-sized one. I've also been spending a lot of time playing Stardew Valley. It's taken me three months to watch a single season of Supernatural (because I figured I may as well watch the entire show now it's over. Yes, I know it goes off the rails after like season five. No, I don't actually care. I don't watch television

The obligatory first post.

I am only back on Blogger because Wordpress.com costs more to use somehow . I try to use my own domains but somehow that's incompatible and costs more money. Ugh. Anyway, there's going to be a few bumps here and there as I get things set up here (including layout). It's been a very, very long time since I used Blogger at all. My last website was on Wordpress, but I guess I'm moving everything here instead despite that. For the last... four years, I think? I've had an online serial. A handful of you may have read it. It was called The Wake, got to three volumes and then I stopped writing it (which I'll explain about later). And then I tried something else, and I honestly have no idea if I had any readers because I turned off the comments. Oops. And then it got to website renewal time and I realised it wasn't worth the cost of having the site anymore. (And yes, clearly it worked so well the first time that I'm just going to keep doing it? There is a meth

 Around eight months ago, there were snow drifts almost as tall as I am (not that I'm very tall, of course). My province is currently under forest fire warning because of the surprise heat wave. So there's been a bit of a weather swing.  I have not been writing very much in general. Something about the whole general atmosphere makes it very difficult, but I'm trying. I think I'm on the third draft of the same story because I can't make it work right. I also managed to write a script during Camp NaNoWriMo July without any sort of a B-plot. It didn't come out great, but there might be the seeds for something better in there. I don't know yet. I've also been refreshing my HTML5 and CSS3 knowledge because it's been years since I did anything with either (from back before they had the numbers and were just HTML and CSS). But actually getting something finished ? Not so much. I've been mostly just reading a lot. Wow, this has been a scintillating post
