Long Overdue Update
Feb. 3rd, 2022 12:35 pmMy dear friends, it's been a bit since I've updated. There's a good reason. I've been feeling so overwhelmed and just not in the best space to write about things the way I should. Sometimes I just don't know where to start about anything.
Most of this is basically broken record stuff. Health, migraines, missing friends... COVID related depression...
Some of it...could RP related? Stemming from lack of RP with some of my friends I haven't played with in well over 3 years now? It sure as hell feels like 3 years. Maybe it's even longer than that. We keep saying we're gonna RP, but they keep getting busy, and then nothing gets done. I get they're doing school, and working. Trust me, I get that, but then don't say we're gonna do it. That just gets people's hopes up. That's not fair. Just say it's not possible. That seems more fair to me. And yet.... these same two people always seem to find time to go out and do theater and stuff. (Maybe there's a bit of envy there, too? And I am so ashamed of that, and I feel like a horrible best friend for it... :( ) Ugh. Why do I feel like this? It sucks. And makes me feel like such a selfish needy bitch. I NEVER used to be like this.
But okay, health update. Mid January nuerologist put me on Topopmax, an older medication that is used to treat epilepsy, but also used in migraine sufferers. It has been working like a charm. The only drawback is that right now with the adjustment period, I am getting severe pins and needles in my heels and toes randomly, and I am either up all night or waking up and staying up randomly in the middle of the night. A few times, I've slept clsoe to noon. This week, up to the 11th, I'll be Dogsitting next door, and having to take care of Sadie who's on a strict Pill schedule so that is actually helping me get up a little earlier. Maybe that's what I needed to help me regulate myself. We'll see if it holds after I'm done though...-crosses fingers-
Crafting progress
Still learning to make stuffed animals with crochet. I got a book on crocheting different amigurumi for Christmas from Valerie this year. :) I am gonna be trying to do a few of them eventually this year. Currently, I am working on my last plushie for quite a while. We have the Blueberry Jamboree coming up, and I want ot make hats and hair ties for that, possibly. Or just blankets in general.
Lately, I've been playing with Infusible Ink on coasters with my Cricut. Mommy and Daddy bought me a Cricut Easy Press 2 for my birthday. It's basically a specialized heat press for Heat Transfer Vinyl, Iron-Ons, and Infusible Ink projects. Just been loving exploring it. After this stint with Brandy and Sadie, will do some more experimenting with shirts. I will have Dad take me to the good will to get some blank cotton T-shirts. (Or Mom, depending on who is available) and I wanna get some Tote bags, too, to try designing those...we'll see! Who knows. Someone here might get one of those for Christmas this year!
Gaming!
Holy shit you guys. I do not CARE about the naysayers of Pokemon Legends Arceus! I LOVE this game so much! Yes, I am currently pissed off and frustrated that I keep getting ambushed trying to get to GrandTree to learn about Kleavor, but still! I LOVE it. My Cyndaquil evolved the other night, and now she looks like a stoat. :D So cute!!! I named her Ember. (She is named after the Cyndaquil in the RP with Alex. Who was inspired by the true story of Teal, my irl cat)
I haven't touched Animal Crossing since Arceus came out. Oops. I need to go check on my villagers. I feel kinda bad about that. But hey, at least I'll have weeds to pull. I really love that part for some reason. I'm such a weirdo. I still need to get the ICe Fence, so I need to go balloon hunting....but I don't think I'm gonna get it anytime soon since I am deep into a Team Challenge for We Be Book'n now...-sigh- Maybe next Winter? LOL.
Summary
I really need to unload more, I think. I just don't hve the energy anymore. I don't feel like writing the same things over and over, and you guys don't deserve to have to read that over and over.
