And I know exactly what's on your mind at the moment: where the fuck have I been this whole time? Well, it's kind of a long story, so buckle up: I've been busy with struggling with writing Yu-Gi-Oh! CHRONIXII (which I'll get to later, for anyone who truly cares), but I've mostly been struggling with work, along with some family problems. The "family problems" in question revolving around my paternal grandmother, who actually fell and hurt herself back in January, and had to be hospitalized and then sent to rehab. She's doing fine at the moment, for I actually came to her house for birthday dinner, but it was still quite the scare for me, especially since I was fearing the worst. Then I had to get back into good graces with my family physician, since I haven't had an appointment there in God knows how long. I did okay, for the most part, though my cholesterol's a little high, and I gotta try and watch my fat intake. Oh, and I officially have depression, too, which is always fun. BUT

And I'd be enjoying my birthday a whole lot better if it weren't so fucking hot right now. But I digress. I seriously cannot believe I've made it to the big 3-0. And as some of you might've seen already, I wrote a little something to commemorate the event. Aside from that, though, today was pretty much an ordinary day, minus the excessive heat a lot of us are dealing with right now. I did the traditional miniature golfing with my parents, and the semi-traditional eating out. But we also went through a bit of an ordeal where my parents' cats had vet appointments, and getting them into their cat carriers proved to be more than a hassle. Afterwards, I had cake and presents at my grandmother's house, and attended weekly community band practice. And that's it. Oh God, my journals are starting to become boring AF. I really am getting old! :cries: But I digress: here's to me celebrating thirty years on this planet, and hopefully a lot more!
