So. Update on my life.
It's loud. And hectic. There's construction going on to fix my basement that flooded. I procrastinated my summer homework that I need to work on now (three books to read and two grammar packets to complete). My dad's doing one of those health-kick things that people usually do at New Year's and then give up, which means going to the gym and home-cooking for me. My injuries from the horse-riding incident (that happened on vacation) still haven't healed completely, but I'm learning to live with the now-smaller swollen bruise (and the pain occasionally associated with it when I move wrong). Uh... what else... I've got a cold.
So, yeah, with all that stuff I don't really get much peace and have had a harder time finding time to write. Also, I keep finding myself awake late at night, 'til like 2 am.
Umm, good things... I've been playing on two new Minecraft servers - one skyblock and one town. I've been playing Rift, an MMORPG. I've been playing Don't Starve as well. On console, I played a bit of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Mostly, I've been playing video games to distract myself.
I've been having trouble focusing because I don't feel like myself (sickness and general... idk how to describe it. Lethargic-ness?). Of course, loudness doesn't help. One of my dogs is sick (I think). She hasn't been acting like herself and she puked on my carpet today. Yesterday, tornado sirens kept going off repeatedly for short periods of time, even though it was a dry, hot, still day (malfunctions?), and she freaked out a lot more than usual. But, on the 4th of July she didn't care about the fireworks.
Anyway, enough about my dog. Today, someone (I won't name who since I don't know if they'd like that) messaged me. Even though they thought they might be bothering me by asking about the next update, it actually helped me. The message reminded me that distracting myself through video games and forcing myself to do homework aren't my life. You guys, my followers, are out there and at least some of you care about me. Maybe not me personally, but at least the writing that I enjoy doing. Writing helps me relax most of the time, and neglected it for a while. I then I realized that by neglecting the things, like writing, that connect me to people over the internet... I guess you probably know where this is going. I'm going all sentimental and telling you all how much you mean to me :) Today, I ended up realizing that the... lethargic... feeling was not something I just had to submit to. I realized that I needed to block out the things that make me retreat into that feeling, and face them head on. And find a way to not hate it while I do.
So, my method right now is music while doing homework. And spacing it all out instead of working in big blocks that leave me stressed out like I'm back in school :)
This post went somewhere I didn't real mean for it to, but since this is "My Thoughts" I'm not going to edit it. I'm just going to post this, because I think I needed to get it all out. So, yeah. Instead of doing homework all in one block, I'm going to space it out by hopefully doing some more writing! If you want to join me in MC, I've been on the servers skyservers.net (SkyHub) and Pheonix Network (I think the ip is p-n.ca).
I hope you are all having a better week than me <3 I love ya all, even if I don't say it enough I really appreciate all the support :)
