This is just a quick, bullet-point List of stuff I've been doing and stuff I'd like to get done. Just a Quick-Fire-Type Deal, no longwinded explanations.
What I've Been Doing
Going Outside More. Swimming, Taking Walks/Drives, Having Fires Outside, Gardening, Chopping Wood, People/Creature Watching, etc.
Practicing More Self-Care. Cooking Meals, Playing with My Style, Training and Exercising. And remembering to Actually Relax once in a while.
Catching Up On Newer and Older Media. Some bein' playing my PS2 (A Ton Of Jak II In Particular Right Now), trying the updates in Sonic Frontiers, Street Fighter 6, playing DbD again. Watching Hellraiser 3 & 4. Scott Pilgrim Takes Over. Digital Circus. LOVEWEB. A Ton.
Studying History, both of Creative Endeavors and various aspects of Life/Culture, to build Inspiration and Understanding.
Talking about more of this with my Family. Helps me out, helps them understand some of the more Esoteric Worries I usually try to deal with on my own. And I Vent to ya'll less. A Win-Win-Win.
Went to a Hotel near an Ocean around my BDay. Absolutely Incredible.
Went to a Hank Williams Jr. Concert with my Dad. A Ton of Fun, caught a Concert Bug and have been watching Live Performance Uploads of various Artists more.
Went to a Con born from my Home State with my Sis and had a Ton of Fun. Went to a panel with the Director, Executive Producer, and Star Villain of Terrifier 2 which was So Damn Cool.
Spent a lot of time really reflecting, without trying to Hyper-Accelerate it by being on my Art Socials like what ended up happenin'.
Schemin', Dreamin', and Drawin' like Tomorrow doesn't Exist. Both on Creative and IRL Stuff.
Getting a New Phone, and all the BS that can bring.
Taking care of my Animals, Home, Family, and Self more.
And More.
What I'm Working On
Getting my Tech sorted, and making space for it.
Making Studio Spaces in my Homes.
Home Maintenance
Learning to Code, use various programs and coding languages, and getting Game Creation Software (Even More Consumer-Grade Stuff Like dreams)
Relearning to Drive/Gettin' my License
Making Space for various things/appliances in my Homes.
Fixing my Mental. Working Out. And Resharpening my Martial Arts/Marksmanship.
Relearning Measurements and Currency Conversion from U.S.-International
Trying to study Politics without losing my mind. Can be done, but not Easily.
Finishing a bunch of Art for the Art Explosion.
And a bunch of other stuff I both have and haven't already mentioned.
So yeah, if you want a more specific view into what I've been up to: there ya go. This will be the Last Major News Post 'til the Midpoint of Next Year, so like around September-Late August. I may do a bit of Lurking here and on Twitter; especially when I'm making New Web Pages/Art Accounts. But I still want to keep my Distance so I don't fall into the same Toxic Patterns I caught myself in. I'm Hoping Half-a-Year more will be enough. Anyway I'll keep in touch if needed, and if this is the Last I see of ya this Year. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to ya Reader. Stay Safe, Stay Godlike.

Hey just a Heads-Up, but while I'll be doin' some lurking before my Full-Time Return; I'm gonna refrain from commenting on stuff for the Time Being. Capitalizing that makes it sound like a Deity...
Anyway I just want to keep a Healthy Distance as I gradually get back in gear.
