So what/who has been stealing your time? Any special work projects or new people in your life?
Work is taking up far too much time. Between my day job and side interests I have very little time to do anything other than eat and sleep.
As it happens, that's almost been a blessing as things have been a bit difficult this last year.
One of the biggest things outside of work has been my mum. After months of ignoring the warning signs and avoiding seeing her GP, last November she was diagnosed as having cancer. This came only a year after my uncle passed away suddenly which I still haven't fully got to grips with.
Anyway, the good news is that the growth was removed (all 7kg of it) and she's come through the surgery and subsequent chemotherapy, which has just finished. We're hoping that's the end of it but we won't know for many months yet.
After that there have been my own problems but they seem insignificant in relation to the above so I shalln't bring those up.
Things are starting to look up again, which is the main thing :-)
For me, I am trying to develop my engineering skills, and putting together my home music studio again.
Music is still lots of fun, though right now it is difficult enough just to finish making my synths, let alone actually finishing any tracks.
My friends and siblings are starting to pop out babies here and there, though I have never really felt the desire to be a father. This seems to concern a lot of people who are close to me, and quite a few who are not so close.
I am also looking for a new job. I have been working in the same job since leaving uni about 2 years ago, and I think a change of scene may do me some good.
Anyway, it's always nice to visit here again, and have a chat, though I am also not often frequenting this place.
To your health :pint:
Cheers!
