So much has happened over the past few weeks. Where do I even start?
There has been very little professional progress over the past month. It all began with my grandmother in Florida who, after a six month fight with lung cancer, finally succumbed in late may. A week and a half I spent in Florida by her side in her final hours, helping the best I could with the piles of work involved with the ordeal, all cumulating with the funeral.
My coping mechanism has been most unconstructive: Escapism. Where I normally reserve my X-Box for social gatherings, I burnt through Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood along with Darksiders over the course of the next two weeks. As much as I knew I had to work on kick-starting my career, I was simply too apathetic to anything to be bothered. Thankfully my boss, who had lost his own father not a week prior, was more than understanding of my irritability. Fortunately I feel that this phase is behind me.
There was also a catastrophic hard drive failure somewhere in there. Thankfully it wasn’t my primary drive and not the one where I store most of my work. I’m still trying to get everything up and running at full tilt again, but at least I haven’t lost anything vital.
