A Hope to Reestablish Equilibrium

With today being the first of September, I feel like I really missed out on Blaugust this year. Somehow it seems with the pandemic, heading back into the office, taking on new roles in my career, and feeling absolutely like my Angels (with the exception of Shohei Ohtani) have been playing like overpaid minor leaguers, I never quite got into the Blaugust spirit. I mean, sure, I gave a few posts a shot, but this is the first Blaugust event that I did not have the time to dedicate myself to. And I feel pretty disappointed about that.

The same ended up happening with Comic-Con this year as well. That took place at the end of July, and similar to Blaugust, I did not have the time to focus on the event.

Two of my favorite yearly events passed me by because I was too caught up in work and was too busy to give them much attention.

Sure, I’ve tried to play a few games here and there. I even figured out a bit about why I had so much difficulty starting up an Beorning in LOTRO. But I have been negligent in spending focused time on leisure.

My work/life balance has been off and I need to nudge it back into equilibrium.

Hopefully with recognition comes the beginnings of change. And hopefully I can turn back to the things that entertain me. The baseball I love even though my team is playing poorly, the games I travel through to excite my sense of adventure, the comics I read to escape the depressing new that permeates the airwaves daily.

In any case, with the beginning of a new month I’m gonna at least make an effort to reestablish my balance and see if I can get back to some of the things I enjoy.
