Well, June came and went, and now we are in July. My birthday has past, my anniversary went well, and we are slowly approaching the day my sister and father shared as a birthday. When I was younger, I loved this month because it is my birthday and because it is summertime. Now, I’m old and it’s hot. My kids still enjoy the summertime though. No school. Well, for 2 of them.
Two of my three kids are also working during the summer, one just for the summer (supposedly) and the other has been since he graduated. The younger of the two has more hours this month than the oldest. The oldest has been getting more hours, so that’s something, but I was kind of hoping he would look for something more full time or attempt to get more hours, but he seems content for now waiting it out. He has gotten better about being on time and working his scheduled shifts, which is definitely good.
I have been plugging along with YouTube and decided to start doing some stuff on TikTok. I’m hoping I can get a different audience to watch the videos I post and hopefully grow as a content creator. I would love to eventually stream on Twitch, but to be able to do that, I would definitely need a better PC set up than what I currently have, which is just a laptop and one of the husband’s old microphones. Not that I mind it at the moment since right now I am just trying to gain traction. I hope to eventually upgrade my set up as things progress.
I also have been trying to send out the flash fiction story I wrote out to publications in hopes of getting it published. So far, no luck, but I’ll keep trying. I am hoping to write more flash pieces as well as all the other things I keep doing!
Lastly, I have been trying to tackle my long backlog of games, which I need to update that list. I am currently working on World of Light within Smash Bros. Ultimate, as well as Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Odyssey. I have also started the DLC on Pokémon Scarlet since my son decided to purchase the DLC for himself to play. (I got the DLC for Violet, so I have already completed it for that one.) I might try to catch more of the version exclusives, but we shall see.
I also need to get my now senior high school student in for graduation pictures sometime soon. Yikes! Stop growing up dangit!
I am hoping by the end of this month I will keep up with my upload schedule on both platforms, get some games completed and checked off my list, get a story published, write some more, and get some things scheduled. Oh, and see how my lungs are doing after being on prednisone for a bit. Yay. (That in its own probably needs a blog entry, but that will be for another time.)
