So... I thought I'd have more time once I got settled in and that I might have more motivation once I'd gotten into the routine.

Apparently I was mistaken.

I think this time crunch madness is mostly just the moving pains of switching jobs/locations/familiar everything and into something new where I honestly don't know what to expect, but until then, I've had far less time and motivation than I hoped.

Today is my first and only day off this week and I've got other things to take care of (registration, bank account, shopping) because I had the joy of moving in during a national holiday where everything was closed! Yay...

That being said, I do hope to have some time today and I really hope to be a better presence here in the near future. Once things have settled down and I have a better grasp of the routine (and have finally furnished my apartment - seriously, my nearest shop is about a 15 to 30 minute walk, depending on what I'm looking for, and I don't have alternate transportation which means no heavy or large loads), I'm hoping to get back into my groove and writing and posting again. I've got a couple oneshot/short fic contests I intend on finishing ASAP, but longer works may be a bit challenging at the moment. >.> I've also got a backlog of things to comment on (I read them on the train ride to Tokyo for more training but I very much dislike trying to comment on my phone) and I hope to tackle those today!

While this isn't a very important post, I at least wanted to update those who might be interested on my relative lack of participation and/or absence. It's been a little crazy on this side. O.o

**On a side note, I discovered I can/might be one of those people that have the talent of tripping over air (or maybe my pant leg - I'm not entirely sure) while walking up stairs. That was interesting. :/ lol
