The thing about not having a job is that life realizes you have extra time and starts throwing things at you. Without going into too much detail, there are some family issues to deal with. It's two years now that Grandpa has been living with us. That's not a bad thing. He is not very much trouble at all. But it does add a few things to the daily to-do list.

I won't even start on the issues with my family.

I have been keeping up on Martial Arts and working out. I've kept off the weight I lost when I was testing. Trying to keep to a healthier diet. It's eaiser when there isn't cake in the house.

I miss guitar lessons. I try to practice, but the only free time I really get is at night, and playing music is just too loud.

I can write, though. I've cruised past 30,000 words in the novel. I can feel the story beginning to come together and I am starting to see the end. I don't know if I know exactly how to get there, but I'm working on it.

Finding a job is proving very difficult. It's really a bad time to be out there looking.
