So it's been a while ride the last several years. My girlfriend and I moved to an apartment in April of 2019. The Rona hit in March of 2020 and it was a disastrous 2 years. From about May of 2021, something happened between Blogger and Godaddy. The two sites stopped working nicely together and I couldn't figure out what. So I stopped posting to the blog and I started a YouTube channel instead. During the 2 year pandemic, I didn't realize it then, but I fell into a deep depression. Didn't do hardly any photography or videography. Just basically went to work and came home. Didn't go to the gym, didn't exercise, didn't do any photography at all.
Then on May 10, 2022, I witnessed a car accident where I saw a woman die from her injuries. May 13th was also my last day at work until my contract was renewed a month later. On May 12th of the same week, my girlfriend decided to leave me. So that was a wonderful week.
I am back at work now thankfully. Have been since June 13, 2022. I'm trying to keep myself busy. I'm going out more, though I'm trying to pay off some debt. I'm doing more car camping. Next weekend is a long weekend and it's supposed to be nice and clear. So time to do some astrophotography and wildlife photography.
I also managed to fix this website. Got it back up and running. I of course lost over a year of ad revenue from Google. I've decided not to date anymore. I've been single 2 years out of the last 25 years or so and I've found that I just don't want to date anymore. This is the first weekend in years where I've slept peacefully. I got a full night, uninterrupted sleep for 2 straight day.
I'm bringing my Sony a7R III with me after work and I'm taking more pictures and I'm doing a lot more video with my Sony FDR AX700b camcorder. In just over two weeks I'm gonna be going to Nova Scotia for a week long trip. No hotels, motels at all. Just going to car camp the whole weekend. I want to save up some money for next year when I move to Alberta.
I am single now. I have no family here in Ottawa that I have to support and see if they want to move with me to Calgary. Ever since I came back from Calgary 5 years ago, I've always wanted to go back there. Now that I'm single and I'm gainfully employed at Fisheries and Oceans, I'm actually enjoying my time alone. I'm glad this blog is back up and running. I'm glad I can write again. I'm glad I can do my photography again. I'm glad to be back.
