Well, hello everyone, long time no post! As some of my readers and friends will be aware, life decided to throw me several curveballs at once 😩🤯. So I’ve had less energy to post (anywhere, not just on this blog) while I focus on sorting out some of my “issues” offline. In terms of progress reports, we are still waiting on the status of our car. It’s taking a really long time to get assessed, and my patience with this is wearing incredibly thin. Thankfully, my partner has the patience of a saint and manages to calm me down when I’m closer to imploding, lol. 🤣😅
To help me feel less stressed, I have been updating my other blog’s theme, which takes up a lot of time but gets my mind off stressful things. And I’ve been thinking about my immediate future should I find myself without a job. This is a HUGE thing for me because I have been through ups and downs at work before, but even then, I still had a job. This time around, it might not be that way, and my relatively stable lifestyle could end. I have no plans other than what I’ve been focusing on for a while now, which is getting my freelancing gig together. But it’s harder to achieve when you already have a job because it makes it less of a “thing” you have to do right away. Now it has become an actual thing I have to do right NOW, and well, I’m a bit overwhelmed.

HOWEVER, all that stuff aside, my little star wars blog is STILL saving me from an otherwise awful few weeks and finally made the big 800 mark! I know this isn’t a big number, but it’s not the number that matters. It’s THE WONDERFUL people my love for star wars has brought into my life. Some I am lucky enough to call “friends” over years of debating star wars and a galaxy far, far away.
SO HERE’S to all my amazing readers – without you, my dark and overwhelming days would be even more difficult. Thank you for all the new readers I’ve had lately, and once my life begins to become more manageable, I’ll be blogging back on the regular once more 😄 At least, that’s the plan!
Thanks again to EVERYONE and I’ll catch you in the comments!
Congrats! That’s a huge milestone 😊

I’m well, thanks! Actually loving the Marvel universe, but mostly because of Loki, lol. I’m so enthralled that I got the book Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, and am reading a YA book called Loki: Where Mischief Lies. When I become obsessed with something, there’s no stopping me, lol.

I know the feeling well my friend lolol I take breaks every now and then from fandoms so I don’t get too overwhelmed with negativity about it. My other fandoms include Marvel and Cobra Kai because I was a big fan of The Karate Kid growing up 🙂 I think it’s awesome you’ve found something else to enjoy 😀 we can both obssess over the same things as I love Marvel too 😀 Burdened with Glorious Purpose LOL I love that line 😀

Hey have you started reading Norse Mythology yet? I happen to be a HUGE Gaiman fan and thanks to your prompting, I got the book. Maybe we can do a review by chapter each? I will be reviewing mine for The Broken Quill, would you like to collaborate on it for fun? Let me know 😀

I’ve started it, and have read a couple of chapters. I was thinking I’d get to it when I could, since I’m reading a couple of other books right now, but if you want to do that, it sounds fun and I’d read it more consistently.

Sweet 😀 I’ll get to reading a couple chapters then and we can do our mini-reviews! Be interesting to see what we think of Gaiman’s writing in this book. Have you read any of Gaiman’s other books?

I’ve read Neverwhere, which was pretty good. I liked the movie Stardust, which is based off one of his books, I believe.

Yup he has so many adaptations of his books, it’s quite crazy. While he isn’t as big as Stephen King in that regard, he’d definitely be the next most prolific writer to have his books adapted for both TV and movies. Just amazing 🙂 I am really looking forward to reading this book 😀 Not sure if you’d be into it but they are adapting one of his graphic novels into a TV series on Netflix called “The Sandman” and I predict it’s going to be HUGE 🙂 If you like horror and weird stuff, you’d probably like The Sandman but if not, don’t read it because it’s pretty graphic 🙂

Congratulations that’s a lot of people.

I think it’s the quality of the people rather than the quantity that makes blogging worthwhile. I mean I have other social media accounts with thousands of followers and I don’t interact with them half as much as I do on WordPress. I have been lucky enough to find wonderful people to connect with 🙂 like you!!~
