9:12 PM: Holidailies Introduction
It's time once again for Holidailies, in which journallers attempt to update their journals every day for a month. This year, we're kicking off on December 5th for a change.
I'm Shmuel. Apparently I've made it to middle-aged, even if I keep celebrating my 19th birthday every year. When I started this journal in 1999, I lived in Queens. Since then, I've spent time in Ann Arbor and Boston before returning to New York City this summer. I'm now in a basement apartment in Brooklyn. It's tiny, and there are issues with mold, insects, and things that go bump in the night, but it's the best I can do just now. (Most of my stuff is in storage back in Massachusetts. I miss my stuff.)
At the moment, I'm a freelance editing professional... or an unemployed editor, take your pick. Though if you're interesting in starting or continuing a collection of almanacs with my name in the credits, the fourth in that series (and the first at this franchise) is now on sale. Meanwhile, I'm looking for work, like so many others in these dark times.
One side effect of being unemployed is that I've been without medical insurance for close to two years. As a direct result, I haven't been to a doctor or a dentist -- the latter is an issue -- and I've gone off my anxiety meds. I'd say I'm holding up pretty well, all things considered.
My social life remains close to nonexistent, outside of Second Life... except that now that I'm back in New York, I've been hanging out with My Sister The Graphic Designer most Thursday evenings. So that's something.
You may, if you wish, compare this with last year's introduction.
