Always bouncing from one obsession to another.
Nothing like getting a piece of crunchy food stuck in an area you can't reach by finger or tongue. 😩 So annoying.

Goodness, it's been a long time since I've posted on here.

I just got home from LVL UP Expo in Las Vegas. It was a ton of fun, but my whole body feels like lead today. 😆 Definitely need to get a bit more in shape so standing for an hour or two doesn't kill my feet. (If that's possible!)

I am starting to be annoyed that I'm still in a reading slump. I have books to read and no energy to do so. Every time I pick up a book I can only read a few pages before I find myself drifting off. I used to be able to read a book in a day. Why can't I do that anymore? 😭

Love/Rock/Compost, a non-sff novel I wrote as Kris Jamison, about a couple of young men approach thirty, the indy music scene, depression, gardening, and the summer of 2016, which is more and more looking like a 1913 last golden summer these days. www.kvj.ca/krisjamison....

High fantasy born of myth and folklore, of the dark and the trees and the winter’s cold, the flint blade’s edge and the secrets that are spoken only in dreams…

I got my copy of The Wolf and the Wild King ( @kvjohansen.bsky.social ) in the mail yesterday.

It has found a place of honor among my collection.

I think I’m going to switch to reading the book physically. My eyes are struggling with reading on the kindle. 😩

A lack of sleep has delayed me in starting this, but I’m finally firing up the kindle to read The Wolf and the Wild King by @kvjohansen.bsky.social

So excited! #reading

Been working on healing myself in a creative sense. I let a lot of the talk of those around me smother any spark I had when I was a child.

I felt tears in my eyes yesterday when I finished a sketch and realized I had *fun.* The creativity and joy is still there, I just haven’t been nurturing it.

By 10am this morning I had stepped in sh*t and sat in chocolate.

How is your day going so far? 😆

I keep forgetting to actually post my thoughts here once in awhile.

I’ve found myself in an interesting spot between feeling better mentally and also even less motivated than before. Motivated for what? Anything. I don’t know if maybe I should have my meds upped now or if this is a separate issue.

That moment when you realized you waited too long to purchase a comic series and now the first volumes are out of print. 😩 I knew I should have started collecting The Storyteller books when they first released years ago.

Got a new #tattoo on Saturday; my niece and I had been wanting a matching tattoo for years. We decided on Animal Crossing where I got Bob and she got Olivia. The second photo is how it looks tonight. I’m really happy with how it came out!
June 11, 2024 at 1:37 AM
Sounds like I am getting my second ever tattoo on the 8th of June. I'm both excited and nervous, as I was for the first tattoo. 😆

This is going to be a matching tattoo with my niece, Animal Crossing theme.

Did I need this two feet tall plush? No. Could I really afford the $300 price tag? Also, no.

Did I slam the pre-order button the instant I saw it? Yes, yes I did.

Gotta love coming home from spending the day with my niece to my mom telling me one of our dogs lost a tooth.

Mom: Guess what Charlotte got up to today?
Me: What?
Mom: Let me show you. (pulls out rotted tooth)
Me: Well, that's not good.

I knew her teeth were getting bad, wasn't prepared for that.

Been on Prozac for two months now and I can definitely see a difference. I'm feeling more clear headed, my blood pressure has been consistently lowering week by week and the little things haven't been bothering me. It's great!

The downside is I'm super tired now. Doc says it should pass. 🤞

I have slowly begun to hoard a small collection of random YouTube videos onto my iCloud for night time listening. These files have been added into the rotation of my Weekly Planet podcast episodes I have downloaded.

One month down on my new anti-anxiety medication. I feel a bit more clear headed and have had only one panic attack this month, which has to be a record as of late.

Doctor is upping the dose tho. He says, "having more happy days isn't the same as feeling happy and I want you to get there."

We got my Uncle's ashes today. I knew it happened, but I don't think I've truly accepted it until now. It feels real now. My parents flying out to clean out his apartment. Seeing the memorial page online. None of that felt real. But now he's here in a box on my desk and... he's gone.
February 16, 2024 at 2:15 AM
It really kills me that I was just talking about still dealing with the grief of my friend and cousin, only for the universe to take away my uncle as well. And I am feeling this one so much worse than the others, because I was talking with him at least one a month, usually more. This hurts.
