LOH #247: A Little Life Update

Hey ladies, it’s been a while. So, good news, I recently got a job! Bad news, that’s kinda why I’ve been distant from this lovely space. I’ve missed being here and catching up with everyone.

Anyway, what better way to ease myself back in than with this week’s prompt?

What’s your most recent favourite thing(s) to do?

Honestly? I struggled to come up with an answer. 😅 Lately, it’s been work, work, work and while I enjoy what I do, I wouldn’t call it a favorite thing.

Before I came back home (I was away for a while), I had all these plans. I thought I’d be out with friends, laughing, spending late nights outside, even though going out overwhelms me sometimes, I actually love just being around people I care about.

But real life kicked in. Everyone’s busy. I’m busy. We’re all just in different seasons of life, and that’s okay, but it also means my fun plans didn’t really happen. So now, what do I actually enjoy doing?

I guess… just being busy? Like, I don’t even know exactly what I’m always busy with, house chores, random tasks, work stuff, but I like when my brain has something to do. (Okay yes, I know the brain’s always working, even when we’re asleep, but you get what I mean lol.)

Any new purchase or plan you’ve been wanting to get or achieve?

Yes! I’ve been thinking of changing my phone and my laptop. But I can’t afford both, so I had to pick one.

At first, I leaned toward getting a phone, mostly just for the sake of upgrading. But when I thought about it properly, a laptop made more sense. I’m a writer (and a bunch of other things), and recently I’ve been feeling like it’s time to get serious about web design and development.

I actually have access to a full course, but my current laptop can’t handle the apps and tools I need (Visual Studio Code, etc). So the plan was: get a new system and dedicate it to learning and building that skill.

But lol. I went to the market, and wow. The prices I met there were nowhere near what I budgeted. 😩 I was literally sounding like an emergency vehicle, "wow, wow, wow"

So now I’ve started saving again, this time with more realistic expectations. And no, I don’t want to sell any of my old devices to top up because (1) I’m too emotionally attached lol, and (2) they still work and serve some purpose, so… it’s hard to let them go.

Anyway, that’s what’s been going on with me lately. I’ve missed y’all and this space. Hoping I can be more active again now. 💛
