AliCat's Alley Way

[galled]

We're so glad you remembered! Fill us in on what's been happening. We were so worried. I don't think you've ever been away from us for so long before, so totally relieved that you're OK!

I was worried that my worst online fear had happened

[NerdyAliCat]

Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ohmygosh how are you!? I am good myself! Especially seeing that you were on! How has life been!?

Hey! It's been a while huh, glad to see you're still active here

[NerdyAliCat]

So relieved to know you are ok AliCat !

We hear news reports of how shut down and restricted Australia is, you can only go out 2 hours a day & only within the area you live? <amongst the isolation & other restricted non essential business>. I

I was worried you were isolated at your Mom's with no internet!
Did you take online classes this year? Were you able to work at all? How is your puppy? Did you get her trained?

Luckily in my part of Australia we're almost back to normal, besides the borders being shut. We have no lockdown, no masks and no current active cases so we're very lucky! Unfortunately the rest of Australia isn't doing so well.
I'm living with my dad full time now. Almost three or so months ago I stopped living with my mum due to personal reasons but I'm much happier now! I'm still working part time, looking for other work and I had to do online classes for a little bit last year but i'm happy that's over. My puppy is good! She just had to get a new bed because she pulled the stuffing out of her other one

I stopped logging on around the time my school was being more strict on what websites we could access and unfortunately Windlyn was classed as an online game or something like that. I'll make a habit of logging on every now and then to see what you guys are up to!

I am thrilled to hear you are doing well and making positive strides. Keep it up!

Your puppy is a little instigator! I bet she just wanted a new bed!

[npixelz]

Sounds like a lot, but I'm glad you are good.

My school was like that back in the day as well

[NerdyAliCat]

Definitely seems like it haha
She has a much sturdier one now and I haven't seen her chewing it so hopefully it stays that way

I've been much happier since I graduated though for sure
And I have my own computer now instead of my poor little laptop!

[galled]

Wait. So you've graduated?

That's how long it's been!

[npixelz]

Indeed

Congratulations, graduate

[NerdyAliCat]

Just highschool haha

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Congratulations!

We are still doing masks for indoors here but weddings & funerals & family gatherings are allowed now. Our area never shut down for tourists.

Mail to Australia has been suspended again though because of transportation issues.

[galled]

Fantastic! Congratulations!!

Do you have a plan for more school or work? Even a rough direction is something. Might seem scary, but it's also very exciting. Life gets so much better after HS!.

Will you be staying with your dad for the foreseeable or will you go back and forth again?

Ahhh that's good that events like that cam do ahead.
I just ordered a cool jacket by this small business that does cute screen printed designs and they emailed me asking if I wanted to wait until the shipping was back on track or if i'd like a refund

Eventually I might study again but it's not really for me so I've decided to focus on working and maybe find a better job because the management at my current one isn't very great.
It already has!
I'm staying with my dad for the foreseeable
If you want a little more on that i'll include it in a spoiler

[+] SPOILER

The switching was taking too much out of me and my mother wasn't treating me like how a mother should so I put myself first and tried setting some boundaries, which she didn't handle very well
