I’ve spent the past few day settling in with my “new” computer, settling down to some new routines, and trying to change the way I approach the things I try to do during the day. I’ve been somewhat successful at working in some freewrite time during the day, and I’m slowly getting back into a schedule around the house. It’s all a work in progress, but I’m trying to balance a lot of things in my life and I’m not going completely insane yet..!

Had a great work day yesterday; I was reminded of some of the reasons I like doing what I do, which is good. I may have ruined (mostly) my hobby, but I can still do it, even for fun, and I’m starting to like doing it again in general. (I was hoping this would happen eventually.) I’m still catching up and will be for some time yet, but I feel good about the projects I have upcoming and the time frame I have to handle them in.

Now that things are mostly the way I like them (computer), I hope to get back to blogging more regularly. It’s taken some definite effort to get back into a routine, online and off, and I’m still struggling with it. It’s not impossible, it just takes work. I’m learning how to work, how to stay working, how to focus but not be overly focused. (I’m discovering that I’m lazy and I don’t want to work at anything, deep down. That’s a terrible thing, I wish it weren’t the case. Will take a while to break out of that, I fear.)
