A Fresh Start

It's been about three weeks since I left Alberta, in that time the COVID situation has gotten much worse. I'm in an area with comparatively few cases, but I still stress so much about catching it, or even worse, the ones I love catching it. I'm mad that no matter what I do theres still a chance someone else could fuck it all up, that there are people selfish enough to ignore everything, that there are still people who deny its existence. I'm sad that I'm spending Christmas alone for the first time, that I have nothing to decorate with. I want to get into the spirit but it's hard. But even in dark times there is still some light.

-Two Potential Vaccines are very close being finalized, I thought that this would take MUCH longer than this, but there's a chance that we could be on a road to making things better.

-I've discovered that this whole photography kick I'm on is actually something people enjoy seeing, and I really enjoy it. It's hard for me to accept compliments because I still can't wrap my head around people saying they like the photos I took rather than just the scenery I caputred. But looking back, I think I might actually be good at this, and I'm gonna keep it up as much as I can, but I might look for warmer places to take pictures if possible.

-I've actually invested more into my Podcast. I purchased new album artwork to use for "The Tim Gavin Show", I still planned on keeping the show going but its nice giving myself a kick in the ass to keep it up thanks to the $200 I spent. It was well worth it though, I've always wanted to spend good money on art like that, and I hope I can do it again someday. Maybe I'll make some T-Shirts too. New Episodes in December.
