a little update on me

dacergirl369it has been A While. Well over a year, I'm pretty sure, though I'm not sure I actually accomplish anything by writing these posts. It's mostly just for fun.
I've been totally snowed under the last couple months and I feel like my brain is only just starting to work normal again. Work has been CRAZY crazy, and my sister has been in and out of the hospital. I've also just been generally feeling like shit; everything I've been working on has kind of fallen off, and I struggled to get my head back on straight.
2025 was a huge, and mostly really good, year for me. I've been trying to remind myself that it's just recency bias telling me I had a shitty year, and that I shouldn't decide I had a bad year just because I had a rough last few months. A lot of good things happened to me; I got married, I got a new job, I made friends and spent more time going out with people. It's hard when that stuff feels like a lifetime ago, but it was a good year. It's just hard to remember.
I think I was also coming off a couple good years in a row, so the fall felt a little harder than it actually probably was.
ANYWAYS, 2026 is off to a good start! Apart from my sister being in the hospital for most of January, but I am happy to report she is now out of the hospital and doing a lot better.
2026 is shaping up good. I already feel better than I did. I've been pulling overtime at work to try and get through this big project we have coming up, which sounds annoying (and, to be fair, is annoying), but I also said that this year I was going to try save more money because I ended 2025 skint as hell. I'm trying to eat more healthy, and spend more time outside. I have plans with my friends for concerts and shopping trips that I'm excited about, and my wife and I are hopefully going to go on vacation for birthday. Things are getting better. I think I need to try to rediscover my joy, or whatever. Actually engage with things that make me happy, instead of just scrolling for hours and hours. I also deleted TikTok, which I think has been huge for feeling less shitty.
I'm also training to run a marathon. I'm starting with a half marathon in May, but my goal is to run a full in October. I don't feel incredible about it, and every time I run I still feel like I'm going to throw up, but I like that it gives me some kind of purpose to be working on. I think part of the reason I've felt so bad lately is that I kind of flounder when I don't have a goal to be working towards.
So yeah, that's about where I'm at for now. I might start posting more, I might not; I do have ambitions of writing, and book stuff, but we'll see where the year takes me with that.
Thanks for reading, I guess. If you made it this far, I'm not sure why, but I appreciate it. I guess follow along for my 2026 writing/bookbinding/marathon journey? Or whatever I end up falling into next. I would love to get back into modding. Maybe that's in the cards for this year. I'm making the effort to do at least some things though!
