At first this was a hard one to do because most days I am STRESSED!!! I AM SO STRESSED!!!!

But of course I'm more than that.

When I pause after writing, I feel ecstatic joy. I'm just so excited to write.

I love cats and my roommate Becky has five. Sweeney and Joni often sleep in my room. Under my affection Sweeney has grown from skittish never see him cat to so comfortable that sits on my chest and bumps his head against my chin to demand pets.

I'm not as fond of dogs but my last roommate had one and I now miss playing with dogs.

I struggle with depression and get caught up in fandoms to distract myself. This year that fandom was The Untamed. I've written a number of stories including crossovers with Leverage, the Addams Family, and the Cthulhu mythos.

I'm looking into coding bootcamps. I was a programmer over a decade ago but my life fell apart. I'm working in a mailroom now and want a job that doesn't leave me exhausted and pays a living wage. But I'm torn because when I worked as a government contractor, they didn't have enough work to keep me busy and instead of admitting that, they'd tell me I was lazy for not working when I didn't have any work to do. I feel scared but also brave for working towards going back into that field.
