Oh my gosh…I’ve been here before.

Close to midnight, the turn of a day, and haven’t blogged a bit. Admittedly, I could have tried to draft something up during my few breaks during the day, but I thought I would have more time, yet here I am, fresh off of streaming on Twitch to give you…something. ANYTHING before the turn of time.

For one, I can’t believe that July is tomorrow. This year is picking up so much speed, and I’m begging for it to slow down. But that also means other things need to slow down too – like work days, moments that I may not want to endure right then and there so I can get onto the next, more exciting thing. But in reality, if I want time to creep on, then I need to be okay with living through these moments as well. (Also, don’t read the previous statements and think that I don’t love my job as a librarian because I DO! But even if I love my job, I can still want to go home at the end of the day.)

Another thing on my mind right now is how far I’ve come as a streamer on Twitch. For those who don’t know, last year I delved more into my love for gaming, and I chose to start streaming all the Nancy Drew PC games in order. I’m currently on number 22, I think? We’re gaining on the last chunk of games here, and I’ll be so sad when it’s all over.

But, I have gained so much from streaming in the year and a half that I’ve done it. Knowledge about tech, a refreshed perspective on games, and most importantly, an amazing community to interact with every day, not just on stream days. Gaming has opened a whole new world for me, and to be honest, it feels so much safer than a lot of things I used to do to “make it”. I’m not necessarily trying to make it as a streamer either – I’m honestly just enjoying the ride, putting in the work, and seeing where it takes me as I also enjoy my career for once in my adult life.

I think the last thought I’ll leave you with is this: I can’t wait for my eye appointment tomorrow. I’m literally typing this with no eye assistance in sight (no pun intended. Or…actually, maybe that wasn’t so bad) I ran out of contacts probably a month ago, and I didn’t want to order more until I had my appointment, and of course, I couldn’t schedule an appointment that was covered by my insurance until after a certain date. Don’t tell my eye doctor.

After almost a decade of not having glasses, I’m about ready to circle back around to them again. I’ve had some sort of eye assistance since I was probably five-years-old, so glasses from say ages 5 to 21 then contacts from ages 21-30. Now I’m ready for both – contacts during the day, glasses at night and for when I just don’t want to fiddle with my contacts anymore.

Should I share my new specs with you readers? If you’re curious, just comment a glasses emoji under this post (for those who don’t want to bother with finding it, here, just copy and paste this sucker -> 👓).

Okay, I’m off to bed now. I’ve been getting up at 5:15am during the week days for the gym, and seeing what time it is now, well, I’m going to get as much sleep as I can.

In the comments, tell me something that’s on your mind right now. C’mon, I won’t tell your eye doctor, or whoever else you’re keeping secrets from. You can still express your thoughts if you commented the glasses emoji too, just go ahead and let it all out!
