It’s going to be a little overwhelming being in the new position and starting up grad school again this fall, but I’m super excited for it.

exhausting? But also amazing? So many conflicting feelings! There’s so much to learn, but I honestly absolutely adore everything about the position and can’t imagine doing anything else. I officially became the assistant director of my library! It’s been.I’m doing okay now, but it’s still a work in progress. I spent most of June deep in the throes of depression, and I spent most of July clawing my way back out. As you might imagine, this has hit me incredibly hard emotionally, especially since I now get to help my uncle deal with his estate, which is a whole other issue.

I was closer to him and Nana than any of my parents (which may be a weird statement, but trust me, I have a weird family). The dementia was hard, but I wasn’t ready yet for him to just be. My grandfather was my first and best friend. She’s a super lovable cat, but really skittish, so we’re getting her used to cuddling and being held. We’ve decided to keep Mama, which Minion named Callie some time ago. Her step-sister took the last one (pictured below) and named her Kyotani. I just wanted to start on a high note! My younger sister took the gray one and named her Togepi. The kittens all found homes! Don’t worry, I definitely will be giving you final kitten tax before I start the downhill roll this update is doomed to be.

Most of it not particularly exciting, unfortunately, but let’s get to it anyway! I’m ready to get back to it now, though!Īre you ready to find out what’s been going on? It’s been. I actually intentionally stepped away from a lot of things since June (well, really mid-May if I’m honest) in order to take time for myself because I was not in a good place. I’m not gonna lie: The past two months have been an emotional low for me. Or, you know, at the very least some sort of semblance of “normalcy,” whatever that is. That’s right, bookwyrms, I’m back and still alive (and not a zombie, as far as you know) and trying to get back to this blogging thing.
