Dec. 14th, 2018 12:51 pmHow do I do this again? It's been so long that I've sort of forgotten.
Let's see. Time flies. We've been in our house for three years now, married for seven years, and in January we will have been together for twelve. This is my eighth year teaching (sixth at this school).
2018 has been one of those years where you aren't in crisis really (internally or externally) but everything is just really hard and tiring. My commute is arduous feeling, writing is a struggle. My husband keeps being hit with bad news (in the last month his sister got diagnosed with cancer, one of his friends died in a motorcycle accident, and his grandma died). Like... I know it will pass, but I'm tired.
Fandom-wise, I'm still faithfully shipping Janeway/Chakotay (Star Trek: Voyager). I've also been having an ASOIAF Jaime/Brienne resurgence. I started watching Doctor Who again with Thirteen after just never getting around to watching Twelve at all and I've been pleased with her and all the new companions. I've been writing a little for Star Trek: Discovery, a show I'm still a little worried about making the wrong choices. I'm watching the Charmed reboot (which I'm enjoying) and I watched the Sabrina one (it was fine but maybe overhyped by friends) but neither is making me feel fannish.
It's been a slow reading time for me. I'm still catching up on all the Brandon Sanderson books (up to date on Stormlight Archive, read the first Mistborn triology, and partway though Warbreaker which I was really enjoying but then I got busy/interrupted).
Making consumable things has really been my most fruitful creative outlet: home brewed cider, fresh pasta, syrups from scratch... there's something nice about making something you can tangibly enjoy.
Anyway... hi friends (old and... relocated)? How is it going?
I'll probably be posting a masterlist of the fic I wrote this year (paltry as that might feel compared to years like 2014 and 2015( or maybe one for the last couple years. We'll see).
