I’m sitting in the hotel not really sure where to start with this. The last three days have been quite busy and I’m not sure what I should even talk about.

I suppose we’ll start with the familiar and do a quick mention of our progress. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten quite as much done as I anticipated being able to- There’s not much time in the morning and I only have an hour or so after I get back from dinner- but we are sitting at a solid 35% for chapter 95.

I hope to bring that to somewhere between 50 and 65% by the end of tomorrow but we’ll see how everything goes. According to the class head of us tomorrow is the toughest day of the week, though I don’t really see how. Today, after all, was some 114 degrees {Fahrenheit} and we were outside for a good portion of it.

I am pleased to be able to say I dealt with it better than a lot of them but it definitely wasn’t something I could call enjoyable.

And seeing as we’re- sort of – on the topic of my trip we’ll just continue along that vein. It’s been three days of mixed classroom and hands-on training with two more to go. We’ll be spending a lot of time outside tomorrow, which won’t be very fun, and on Friday we have a short day because people need to travel home for the weekend.

Some are only a state away, two of us live in the state, and there are a few unfortunate souls who live nowhere close to the training facility. As someone close, however, I get to enjoy the benefits of a shorted day. Not too worried about the pay because I’m getting close to the standard 40 and am already at a higher rate than my last job. The fact that I have no overhead or food expenses really helps too.

Well, I don’t have to have food expenses. Ended up buying something myself earlier because I was feeling famished but for the most part everything except my gas is covered. The restaurants are three minutes away and the training center fifteen, so I’m not going through anywhere near as much as I used to.

All in all, it’s a pretty good arrangement for this week. Next week I’ll be on the job for four days with a more experienced employee and then I’ll be back up here for a week. We’ll see how everything goes out in the field because I have a funny feeling it won’t be anywhere as simple and straightforward as training has been.

No Bonsai pictures this week- because I’m a hundred something miles away from them right now- but I did take a picture of my bags after I had packed them so feel free to enjoy the picture of everything I need to be able to just up and leave.

Well, almost everything. Can’t do much gaming with this but I can write, draw, and waste my time on the internet with everything here. Not the greatest of packers because there are only enough clothes here for about a week.

Oh, speaking of both being able to draw and not having pictures, I actually do have pictures of a drawing I did recently. I used to draw all the time, though I didn’t really have much control over what I was drawing but recently I tried my hand at it again.

So, what did Eyazahrid draw when trying to get back into it?

An ass, naturally. The best? Not even close. Recognizable? Yeah, I’d say so. Obviously I have a budding career as a creator of adult content just waiting for me to drop my writing so I can dedicate all my time to it.

Then again, I’m sure you’d all just prefer it if I added lemons to my stories, hm? Or perhaps just lemon stories, you people would probably be into that sort of thing.

Not that I have any intention of doing one anytime soon, I have no idea how I could manage to pull one off wile adding my distinctive Eyazahrid signature to it. I’m not even sure what tat signature would be, so I suppose that’s the first thing I need to fix if I’m ever going to provide you all with poorly written adult content.

Or maybe it will turn out really good, I’ll adapt it into a book or three, and then they’ll make a movie about it. Bestselling Erotic Novelist title here I come.

But seriously, I have way too much I’m still trying to get done to spend time on something like that. Maybe when I feel more caught up. Like when Sealkeeper is over.

It’s an odd thought, isn’t it? Eventually Sealkeeper will be over and I’m going to have to start a new project from scratch. Definitely going to have to have the first month of updates done for the new story before Sealkeeper ends so I can get you re-hooked on my work before you manage to escape.

Speaking of work, I’ve been redoing the Forum on Eyazahrid.net and have almost finished it. Hopefully it works better than the last one. You know, for all the use that one received. I’m also trying to get a discord set up- it’s more or less done, I just have to write up some rules for it and make some dedicated channels- which I can probably finish up next week without too much trouble.

Provided I’ve finished that chapter, of course.

No stream this week, as I mentioned in the last update, and next weeks is up in the air too. All depends on what my schedule is next week and when I actually manage to get home. The week following that I’ll be back up here for training, so there will be no stream that week either.

I think that about does it- I can’t think of anything else and need to be getting to bed for training tomorrow- so we’ll call it good here.

Until I next have your attention,
