New look!

So! I’m back and ready to give the website a new look! It was so nerve wracking to change the theme of the website, like you wouldn’t believe. Not that it was difficult. It was way easier than I thought it would be, but since the old one was the first one that I had ever used on the website, I was more than a bit attached to it.

But, once I got past the attachment I quickly installed the new one and boy, it was SUCH a breath of fresh air to see how clean and open and warm this new theme looks. The old one now looks drag and old to my eyes, even though when I installed it the first time I thought it was very cool and slick looking. It really reflects the fact that I’ve changed as a person at an exponential speed, it’s wild.

Like, I was checking the last blog post because it felt to me like it had been aaageees since I last blogged, but no; the last time I blogged was in April. I can’t believe that it has barely been like 3-4 months since I last blogged.

I feel as if my entire life has gone upside down ever since.

But that’s probably because just a ton of terrible things have been happening since then. Well, actually I went through the hardest season on the job which was may-june (and a bit of july) and then immediately a TON of terrible things started happening. I’m not gonna go into detail on that, ‘cos it really is wild how everyone around me sort of lost their minds in the wildest ways. Although I kinda think it would make for a really cool soap opera, to be honest.

But, either way, I have gone through a huge change and barely even noticed it until now that things start to actively look very different from the way that they have looked for the past few decades.

Like, I started a youtube channel. An actual youtube channel. It’s wild.

I also started being a photographer, as you might have noticed from the title of the website. So, no longer just an author. Oddly, doing photography has really helped me a lot during these difficult days, so I’ve decided to pursue it.

Sadly, these bunch of crazy events that have been happening have also interrupted with my publishing schedule. Everything sort of collapsed all at once, for real. But I’ve been able to pick up the pieces now, and I think I might be able to still publish First Encounters by the end of the month *crosses fingers*. At least, I should be able to, if I recover my health soon. That’s also a huge problem with me, that my health -delicate as it is- sort of tanks when things like these happen and then I’m unable to focus or work.

I’m seriously starting to plan for a call with my boss and tell her that I NEED a few days on top of the days that I had planned to take on November. It’s a bit crazy but literally the day after I had requested my PTO for November and used all my days, everything around me collapsed. I kept thinking that I could deal with it, but now it is very clear that I can’t and that I need more rest than I am getting. I’ll think about it tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

For now… rest.
