I haven't made anything since I finished my 100 hours for my 10 year podficversary, but I've fallen face first into a couple new fandoms though I don't know if I'll be making anything for them. I've also made progress on writing (ok outlining) several Clone Wars fics and I plan to take part in the Order 63 fest with some podfic and a fic if I can get it done in time. :D

Health update: my blood pressure is out of the Actual Problem zone via low dose meds, my IUD is out but I'm gonna be getting annual paps for a while now that I've had 2 abnormal smears even if it turned out to be nothing. Though I'd forgotten how obnoxious having a period is and I'm grumpy about it. Mostly because it's not consistent yet with timing, flow, or duration.
I'm running again, which is really nice even if I have to drag myself out of the apartment every time. Just hit week 5 of the run, zombies c25k. I can see the distance increase and the pace decrease every week which is incredibly rewarding tbqh.

Work/career update: hit my 5 year anniversary at main job and getting increasingly annoyed with per diem job. I'm still only signed off on one bench and don't really trust the manager to actually get the ball rolling on getting me cross trained without a lot of prodding. She's more or less okay but they're still short a supervisor and everyone's swamped b/c the ones we have are fine but not great at their jobs. So I have no idea if/when I'd be able to get those hours going. I'd go some level of FTE but they only have 1 opening at .9, and I can't get my microbiology hours at that level.
So, next summer I'm gonna check back in with my status and if I don't think I'll be able to start submitting my paperwork for my exam by 2026, I'll start seriously looking into going back to school in 2024. The application deadline is February so if I need to retake any of my prerequisites b/c they're too old I should have enough time to do that. I'll also have enough time to chat with them about how it works with my work experience & everything.
Part of me really wants to just start the program, get it rolling & be done sooner. I think, if I'm still antsy about it by November I'll go to an info session and figure stuff out. But there's things I want to do before going back to school (if I go back) and I'll need to figure out stuff like health insurance while I'm working <24 hrs/wk. I genuinely kind of miss being in school which is wild because I spent so long feeling so burnt out on it. Not quite sure how to feel about that yet.

I'm also just extremely pissy right now between trying to post this on mobile (always a nightmare) and work giving less than 24 hours notice that a process that was supposed to go live last month with the rest of everything is actually going live. Which I discovered when trying to do my job before having a chance to check my email. Also I'm not sure if I'm hangry or just under caffinated and on too little sleep.

It sounds so frustrating to be so stalled the way you are in your current job - I hope something shifts to the positive soon. <333
