As the title alludes, I only managed 1 post in the last year.
While I occasionally log into EVE to collect rewards, I have only undocked a handful of times since my last post. I try to follow a couple EVE Blogs and CCP’s social media posts to keep up to date on what changes are occurring, but nothing has piqued my interest enough to return to regular play. CCP’s focus has remained almost solely on group destructive play.
Life probably hit the peak of its frenetic busyness over the last year, concentrated mostly around the kids.
My daughter continued her success in hockey, playing for another State Team, being in a couple teams that won state championships, and another league win with her club. Her further progression however is unclear, with some excellent, taller, and older competition for very limited positions. She made the most of opportunities at her school across the arts, sports, and leadership. At home she continues to be a delight if she is getting what she wants, and a very unpleasant banshee when she doesn’t.
After training up to 6 times a week, my son managed to win State and National Championship titles in the somewhat niche sport of Artistic Roller-skating. He played in three school bands, got his first dan black belt, continued to attend speedcubing competitions, kept working, bought himself a car and got his license, maintained a good social life, and just finished the last year of High School and his final exams. He is comfortable he will get the scores required to attend his preferred university. I mentioned last year he has ADHD. It is a blessing when managed well and kept under control – as his achievements allude, but it is a stressful curse whenever it is not.
Next year my son should be driving himself to most of his activities and Uni, and I should finally have some time to catch my breath. The first item on the to do list won’t be EVE. I will have to decide what to do with my career.
