I've got the AMc A-List movie subscription, I'm retired, and I live literally two minutes from the theater. I get to see up to 4 movies per week and darnitall if I'm not going to get my money's worth. I don't see everything and there's going to be a slowdown for a while due to what's being released. But I like giving my reviews so I put them on my blog.
Here's where I get a bit real. I've been keeping personal stuff off of here but decided to start putting a curated part of my life back online. Why not? If people aren't interested, they can skip the post.
I didn't get to ease into retirement. One day I was working, the next I was retired. That happened ten years ahead of schedule. I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. I highly recommend being retired if you can manage it. I can manage it from the practical side but I've had problems doing it from the mental side. When there's no pressure to do anything then things don't get done. It's simple, at least for me. That's why my hobby blog is missing hobby stuff.
I will also say that I'm at a point now where I will be talking to my doctor about adjusting my meds. I think I'm high on the anti-anxiety side since so many of the things that I was anxious about no longer exist and I have enough of a social network I feel less uncomfortable messing around with my medications. I'm thinking that the overbalance of anti-anxiety is pushing the depression. And depression means I want to do things but I don't.
So that's why there's not that much on the hobby side. It's not that I don't want to do them. It's that I'm not set up to do them. I haven't had my 3D printers running since I moved and I'm just getting that back. The house is so not unpacked. My painting area is in enough of a state I can use it but it's not nearly what I want it to be. I can't use the gaming table I got because there's stuff on it that I haven't dealt with. I've had some help but it hasn't been enough to finish anything. That's why I'm saying it's the depression.
I do want to finish painting the tanks, especially since the next pieces are coming out. That means really dealing with at least part of the office so I have a place to process resin prints. I have projects stacked up after those are done and I'm looking forward to them. But I'm also going to keep chipping away at the paint area so that it's finally in a usable state and can stay that way.
The next thing will be testing some skin tones for orks. Not my ork army, mind you. For a Combat Patrol box I was given and that doesn't fit into my ork army so I can paint it different. After that is assembling the box set. After that is painting the box set. I'm not sure what happens then but that's plenty to keep me busy going forward.
There will still be movie reviews. I like doing that. I need to push myself and do more hobby stuff. I think I'm just going to schedule it like I would any other thing so that I have to make the decision to do it or not rather than a nebulous idea of what to do. I'd say it would help if I painted at the game stores but I do not like to paint anywhere but my own area and that's that.
Anyway. Expect more tank pictures since they're getting closer to getting color on them. Then the post showing all the ork skin tone tests. There should be some interesting stuff in there. At least I hope so. Then the box set. And while I'm doing all that I get to think about the next project in line. I have enough of the freaking things.
