Rumors of my demise, if any, have been greatly exaggerated.
I sincerely apologize (again!) for falling into the proverbial pit and ceasing to exist here on DW. Ever since the death of my grandfather, nothing has seemed quite... real, to be truthful. I've spent so much time either trying to keep busy or battling illness that it's been daunting; whatever spare time I have has been thrown into my creative projects or playing a bit too much Baldur's Gate 3, if such a thing exists. (Naturally, I have romanced Astarion! And just as naturally, my character is a Cleric of Ilmater, which is absolutely what I would be if I existed in DnD world).
This has been quite the year for me in so many ways. I am filled with gratitude topped with bits of regret here and there (which I am assured happens to us all). Still, what an incredible year it has been in many ways!
At the end of 2022, I was struggling horribly. I had found out that I was losing my university teaching job at the beginning of the year, and until April of *this year*, I was either unemployed or only working part-time, desperate to survive
I also told my ex-husband I wanted a divorce in October of that year.( And that is how it has gone from there... )
