Well … well, well, well. Look who’s still around.
I can only offer my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence of late; I realize it’s been nearly two months without a word, even to say whether I’m still alive. I feel particularly bad, since I was off to such a great start this year; fifty-five posts between the new year and June—more than I posted for the entirety of 2014. And then …
Well, to be honest it seems to have become a bit of a pattern. Last summer was one of my worst, in terms of my mental health and depression, and this summer has been one of my worst in terms of simple motivation. I haven’t gone off my medications (like last year, fool that I am), but nor have I done much of anything creative, for nearly three months now. The Redemption of Erâth hasn’t seen a new word, and this blog has languished.
Being cooped up … led to an absolute loathing of my surroundings.
For what it’s worth, though, I haven’t been entirely idle. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done in the past two months:
- Listened to a lot of new music, thanks to Apple Music
- Bought an Apple Watch (totally unnecessary, I know)
- Cleared my desk
- Gained a new (thought temporary) position at work
- Moved house
That last one really kind of took a toll, to my surprise. It turns out that packing everything into boxes, shifting it from one house to another, and then being entirely unable to find anything for the next six months is kind of stressful.
