Hello, January

lea_hazelI have not yet made a post for the new year on DW, so Happy New Year and may 2022 treat us all kindly.
I am ostensibly supposed to be working on a new year's post for my WP blog, right now.
Right now, big important things are happening with my IRL family. We're entering into a necessary period of uncertainty, and all of us are dealing with our anxieties in different ways. One of the ways I'm dealing with mine is by how I adjust my two-week schedule. I've lately gotten into the habit of setting a loose work schedule for my writing in chunks of two weeks, and I anticipate lacking focus for the work, while events are happening around me. I also may have less material time, if my family needs me to e.g. cook or help with chores.
Events will unfold as they will, and I have no control over them. I've really prepared as much as I reasonably can. And in the end, this is a good change, it's just this transition period that is obscurely stressful and uncertain. Most likely, everything will turn out more or less okay.
And while I attempt to parse my feelings on the subject (with the help of my therapist), I am also signing up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
purimgifts (as I do almost every year), and worldbuildingex (for the last round, unless it's inherited by different mods). Being able to focus my energies outside of myself is another way to manage my bad overthinking habit. And I even know exactly what I want to nominate for PG, this year.
