Hanyou's dramatic return and a few words!

Hi guys. Hanyou here.
It's been a fair while since I logged on but a lot has been going on in my life.
The biggest is the most painful...
My brother... my dear sweet, protective, fun loving, father figure of an older brother passed away nearly a month ago. It still hurts like hell. Not a day goes by when I don't get upset. But I'm slowly coping with it. Taking it a day a day at a time.

The second explains my absence here. XD
I finally got a job. My hours were hell though. I often left my house at 5:30am and returned at 7:30pm. Which sucked. Like majorally. But next week I leave this job and I start working in a school on the 1st! Which means more mooooooney!
But because of this job, I've been going through bouts of depression and anxiety, which has only multiplied with my brother's passing. Again, I'm slowly coping with it.

Thirdly, I've lost weight!
I'm still a big girl but I've lost 2 stone! (or 28 pounds or 13 kilos.)

Fourthly, I'm officially qualified in childcare.
Another reason I didn't log on in so long was because I was busy doing so much coursework.

I'm still engaged by the way. I'm coming up to my 4 year anniversary next month. came to England for 3 months at the end of last year which was the best time of my life!

Sixthly, I graduated university. Like I did the whole ceremony which was really nice.

Seventhly- I have a cat now. We took in a stray and named her Fudge. She was pregnant... -__-; so now we also have 4 kittens who are about 5 and half months old. Little shits but I love them!

And finally number eight- I'm going back to Brazil in October! Going to see my future in-laws again! Excited is not the word!

I'm gonna try to be more active on dA. My doctor said to fight my depression, I need to get back into my hobbies. And honestly, I miss dA. I miss posting my artwork and my writing on here. The bitch will be making a return to dA!

So how have you guys been? What have I missed?
