I always want to blog more casually, but I have like a disease or something that forces me to take it way too seriously... ORZ Luckily, I think it can be cured with the power of friendship. I love reading my friend Toki's blog, and she encouraged me to just do it! So here I go...!

I'm been super depresso the past few months for a variety of reasons. Chiefly, working primarily from home has burnt me out. I'm an extroverted person, so being by myself all day, for several days in a row is draining. But I can't go back to work in the office because of the bullying culture. And the job market is fucked right now that I can't get another job that I can support my family with. >__> I just gotta stick with it for as long as I can. I really worry about my work performance getting me in trouble, though. I will continue to do my best and be social where I can.

ANYWAY, on a more positive note, I've been enjoying the Halloween spirit this year. TBH, I'm not a huge holiday person. I like Valentine's day because it feels low pressure to enjoy it because so many people seem to hate it. Halloween and Christmas are overwhelming. Luckily, Dudu likes to be festive and brought out the decorations. So now our house is spooky! ♥ We finished watching one of my favorite shows, Haunted Hotel! It's surprisingly good and wholesome for an adult western animation series. The second season came out the other day, and we binged it just over this weekend lol. I want to rewatch the Haunting of Hill House before Halloween, too. I love watching horror movies throughout the year, but now I have an excuse!

As far as TV habits go, Dudu and I are now on season 19 of Grey's Anatomy. Watching it is basically ritual torture, but I've come to a point in the show where I might as well see it through. It's like a weird for of stockholm syndrome where the show hasn't been good in like 10 seasons, but it's a special kind of experience seeing how characters grow over ~20 years in real time. That said, I'd like to rewatch House as a palette cleanser after we get caught up on Grey's. ...Or maybe I'll go back and watch the first 9 seasons again LOL!

I haven't played a wide variety of games lately, mainly due to excessive sleepiness. BUT! I've gotten sooo into Love and Deepspace the past few months. Maybe I will write something in depth at a later time. I'll just say that it's a fun game with shockingly well-written characters. My favs are Caleb and Zayne, but they are all good LADS, hehe. ♥ ❄️🍎
