I feel myself pulling out of a protracted spiral. These are some unrelated, but also totally related, stories and thoughts.
Throughout the last year I’ve regularly updated friends and family about my job search and resulting budgeting adjustments.
I changed my Final Fantasy XIV character’s gender this week and it’s weirdly affirming.
A member of one of the Discord communities I frequent posted a questionnaire for a college study and I spent so much time answering it I figured I should keep a copy here for myself.
As a memorial to my fallen best friend Kalbi, I designed a custom commander card for him and designed a deck around it full of existing cards re-skinned with various elements of his life.
My best friend’s health has reached the point where his bad days outnumber his good days and I’m feeling unable to provide him with a painless and fulfilling life any longer.
I’ve been having a rough time with confidence recently, but today is hype day. I’m going to maximize the megalomaniacal ego I normally keep (perhaps too) subdued and brag about myself for an entire post.
Kalbi is a disabled old man now. He’s not hard to manage at all, really, but his days have changed over the last year or two in a few ways.
On Monday, my company announced that layoffs are coming next week. My anxiety levels have been high since the last round, but that email shot them right back up to fight-or-flight level.
