Too Good for a Free Banana

Good morning, 2024!

Last year was... A mess, essentially, save for the fact that I finally started going back to shul in August. My intro to Judaism classes start on 01/31, and I can't tell you how good it feels to finally be moving forward again. I've been on this path for literally years. My rabbi said she was going to leave it up to me whether I needed to take the formal classes or not since I'd already done that once before elsewhere, but these ones seem way more in depth and so I'm excited to take them.

Aside from finally completing the last steps of my conversion, plans for this year include driving lessons, more books, more writing, more cooking, and less doomscrolling. I'm also taking on a challenge to draw all of the official Hetalia nations, probably excluding the micronations. We'll see how long that lasts. Regardless, I miss drawing and I know that if I don't push myself it's not going to happen.

Speaking of pushing myself, I've got most of the rest of my USJP fic plotted out! There's something like 13k words of outline there. A bit daunting, but I'm looking forward to actually getting it all written out and posted. Hopefully that'll happen before 2025.

Here's to a better 2024 for us all!
