Knightly duties

Hello internet dwellers, I hope you’re well. (: I’m just posting a lil “airing out” sorta thing, as of lately I’ve been feeling kind of overwhelmed with my day-to-day stuff, cleaning, taking care of myself and my fiancée as well as our daughter who turns one in about a week and a half! It’s been a whirlwind of a few months, we had relatives pass away, lots of work, just trying to catch up on stuff in general. While I do try my best and I don’t let it slip up too far, it does get hard sometomes. I’m very grateful for my little family, though. I couldn’t do it without them! I just feel like between work and other obligations I rarely have a moment to sit down and really make sure that they each know how much I care for them, I try, of course! And it’s not like I don’t spend time with them when I’m off work, but it just never feels like enough time. For reference- I work twelve hour shifts, and it rotates so I either work two days a week or five, it depends. It also rotates once a month between day or night shift, while the pay is nice and the work is.. work, I mean. It’s enjoyable but it is a lot. Sometimes I wish it was more set in stone and I could utilize my time better without being exhausted one way or another. 

All in all, it’s going well. I’m very happy and I strive to work as hard as I possibly can to support my family! As I stated before, without them I’d never do this, I’d probably still be with my parents working a part time job and spending too much money on video games, vs actually making a life for myself and my amazing loves. 

But yeah, long shifts are killer, I think life should be more accessible at a slower pace. 

Thank you for reading, don’t forget your sword and shield on the way out.
