Bit of a funk this week. Work is exhausting me and I'm barely working at all, to be honest. Have been taking EO (Early Out) left and right because there's no customers in the winter and miraculously I'm still making money. I thought I was in the red, but collected some rent from the roomie (the one I'm not sleeping with), paid off my visa, and I'm back to where I started before my extravagant expenses (dog and dog-related things, furniture, PS4). This can probably be explained by the fact that I have no social life outside of bf because I can't stand anyone else in town and have nothing in common with anyone. I have also slacked off in the online department; I haven't actually taken my laptop out of the drawer in three days.
So right now, my days are wake up around 1 or 2pm (or as long as the dog lets my sleep; luckily, she's pretty good at letting me have my 7-8 hours now). Take her out, prep her food for the day, feed her, MAYBE eat or shower, but usually end up cleaning and doing dishes until it's time to take Freya out again. It's important to maintain a clean house otherwise Freya will get into everything when we're gone. I play fetch with her while I'm doing all that if I can. If I get lucky and squeeze in a shower, then I'll take Freya for a long afternoon walk. Get back in, eat BREAKFAST at like 4pm, get Freya's frozen Kong ready and start puppy proofing the house (putting any shit away that she'll likely get into). Might get a couple hours to chill with the bf in the meantime or, if we have to, go out and do errands but we hate doing that on workdays, since that means leaving the pup longer.
So around 5, Freya will have her second meal and her final outing before work, and we hope and pray she takes a dump or sometimes I have to take her out one quick final time. Hopefully by then I've showered and done my makeup. Then around 6 or 7 we prep the house (music, frozen Kong, etc) and off to work. Any day but Fri/Sat is okay, because roomie will be home around 9-11, but Fri/Sat is stressful because we have to count on one of us getting EO or the house risks being in shambles. Usually, I'm home by 1 unless I have to stay all night.
After taking care of the mutt, I've been playing Fallout 4 until my eyes fall out at 6am, so that's where I've been. After I get tired of Fallout, I'll probably do edits or start on a new script, but my life seems to alternate between gaming and writing right now.
THE WALL OF SOULS is being prepped for filming right now; the big actor dropped out, but everyone is happy with that, since he was trying to impose too many of his ideas anyway. Finding it difficult to get excited, though it's definitely going to happen. I can only hope the producer has thought about distribution/festivals. Was hoping to "make it" by early next year, either by acquiring an agent through this movie or by selling the other script I finished, but I'm not so sure. Sent the other one off to a couple people, but think I said something wrong to the one guy because he stopped responding my emails and haven't heard from the company I pitched the project to yet (they were positive about the pitch, so I was hoping it would be a priority to read). I won't quit my day job yet, though I wish I could. Tough to be positive about writing these days, though I still have a lot of ideas I want to work on.

Paying My Dues
After a couple Ativan, I must confront things I've been neglecting... I also don't know how to write one of these anymore.
I miss DeviantArt. I really do. I miss my drive to do better, to post more, to provide feedback where I could, to strive for recognition... I feel I owe some acknowledgement to those of you who are still here. I'm not dead. I've just been reevaluating my priorities, trying to determine how I'll achieve my next goal. Sadly, I don't believe DA plays a part in that anymore. I need a wider scope. Do blogs still exist? Do any of you still blog? A public journal has always been my most crucial mental health tool and above all,
Not Sure if Socially Anxious or Anti-Social
Do you ever feel like you just hate almost everyone you know? Or at least feel like you have no time/opportunity to chat to the people you actually want to. The people who interest me and I actually respect have busy lives of their own, and no time or drive to socialize. I miss DA because it used to be a safe place. However, I learned that my dad was snooping around on my page and read the short story I wrote about Snowball, so that means nothing is safe anymore. :slow: So that's only dissuaded me from using one of my main social outlets. But I can't be a shut-in forever.
Wondering who's still alive around here.
I've been busy with life. Ce
Cute puppy photos!
Quick update on Freya who is now almost four and a half months old!
She is well-behaved during the day, has ALMOST stopped having accidents in the house (though she still uses pee pads), knows Sit, Shake a paw, Lie Down, and Roll over, and is getting used to spending time alone. I can occasionally leave the room and she won't follow me. However...
On a typical work night, the bf and I will be gone by 6-7pm or so. Most nights, our roommate will be home by 9 or 10. Initially, we crated Freya during our time away, but decided she was better off having a room to herself for that long considering she will howl the entire time she's in her crate
New Things
Here's a switch from my last journal!
Moved into a new townhouse about a month ago with MG and his best friend. Here's what the main area looks like:
Then I had a week off this last week, so naturally when it was good time to catch up on some well-needed rest, I got puppy fever and went and scooped up my new girl Freya. I was originally looking at getting a shelter dog, but at the local shelter there were literally zero dogs to adopt. So I was going to look at a husky in Vernon (about 2 hours away), when I saw a Kijiji ad for German Shepard X Husky puppies, and since those are my two favorite breeds, I HAD to stop by. Of course I couldn't l
