Hiya! Your friendly neighborhood corgi checking in on you again! Been a while since we've had one of these. Figured with the election and all, might as well, plus I don't have any work yet today so fuck it, check on my friends!
For the new folks, welcome! I do these from time to time just to give people a space to vent and unwind, or tell us abotu anything exciting you've got going on.
For my own part, band stuff is coming along nicely! Did a gig with a friends band last Friday that went well, our second show with a 2nd guitarist. Writing and recording, new tracks should be out by the spring. Also posted a video of the show here a few days ago. Beyond that, work has been....eh. Still looking for a full time thing, its been 14 months now. AI training has me on a few new projects, but the work is coming in slow. Had to split rent into 2 payments this month and I was able to get the first sent out, but still worried about settling up the rest next week.
Beyond that, not much else going on. One year with no booze this month, so fuck yeah for that.
Hope you're well, and remember you are loved 
Congrats on your booze sobriety! I'm about to take a month off from drinking. I did it last year and really liked the change of pace, so I'll be doing it again from after Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Speaking of abstention, I'm on my first thc break after four years of daily usage (a day off here and there). The first few days were unpleasant (headaches, irritable, loss of appetite, bad sleep), but that is subsiding. I'm enjoying the clarity. I can speak more succinctly and clearly. I'm less impulsive and have more patience. I guess the biggest surprise is I don't miss it at much as I thought I would now that I'm a week off. I missed it a lot the first few days.
Otherwise, I've been struggling to get back into a workout routine (MWF) but haven't given up entirely.
holy shit why are you so wise i should try this, this is way better than the sadistic puritan op of Dry January
Fr, January is a shit month, you bet you're ass I'll be drinking. What the fuck else is there to do? It's freezing!
i have BEEN SAYING. your strat is way better because it's bookended on either side by Fun (assuming u enjoy the holidays that is)
