Stuck in a rut!

So this is more of a rambling post than anything else, but I don't do these nearly as often as I should so I figured it's better than nothing.  Things lately have been a bit chaotic.  It's not that things are bad or getting out of control, but this transitional period has required a lot of adjusting and we haven't quite gotten into the swing of things just yet.  That on top of not knowing how or when my schedule may change consistently with future work has sapped me of quite a bit of inspiration and motivation.  Nothing is really set in stone at the moment, be it schedules, work, availability, or even gaming.  My responsibilities haven't dwindled at all (if anything I just keep adding stuff) but nothing has much order which makes the tasks in front of me rather daunting.  It will even out eventually but for now it's just... crazy.

Also, side-note, Yuni and Ari are finally back from visiting family after a week and a half so it's been great having them back.  The drawback remains that, just during that first paragraph, I was called into the bedroom 4 times.  On a list of pet peeves we've been addressing but it's a situation that still needs a considerable amount of improvement, lol.  I am very happy to have my girls back, though.

In any case, one of the biggest issues on my mind is the reformation of our raid group.  We've lost people to irl, WoW, and plain attitude problems that warranted removal.  We're at four active members now and I'm struggling to find a way to make this work.  Those who are playing WoW keep saying "I still might come back", but with only a week left until patch (I've been waiting until now because they wanted to see WoW's new raid first) I just can't be leaving it up in the air.  I am nervous what will happen because recruiting new people is always a coin-toss on what kind of person you're going to get.  They could mesh fantastically or be the thorn in the side of our progress.  I hate removing people from our groups, so the latter is a terrifying prospect for me, no matter how much experience in leadership or interpersonal relations I get.

That all being said, I'm very happy to have finally gotten some new content out to you all, get streams started a bit, and have my interest piqued once again from the 3.4 trailer.  Things are falling into place, but it's just happening gradually so I hope you all will stick around till then and hopefully know I intend to get more frequent with posts and content of all kinds.

PS- The support you have all given financially has been opening these doors to do the comics, start the website, and even make travel more realistic for events like fanfest.  I just wanted to take this time to express, once again, my sincere appreciation for all you've given.  It's being put to work.

I would say that I could try and join you, but I sadly don't have a lot of time myself to be able to raid. But, no matter what you move on to, I'm still helping you out :D. Love the comics, you'll find someway to entertain us even if it's not FFXIV. You got this!
