Microblog

It's been a while since I wrote anything here, but this month was such a busy one that I barely had time to update the site. At least it's for a good reason. We could finally start fixing/furnishing our home, so my days consist now on working and then doing repairs in the afternoon. We decided to do it by ourselves and see how it goes. It's all small fixes and painting, so worst that can happen is that we need to hire a professional in a few years. Still, we will have learned something from the experience if that's the case. We've also been carrying furniture between different family members' houses, getting new ones...exhausting, but very rewarding. I just wish I had already recovered from my anxiety (if that's really my problem), because it gets in the way quite a bit, but oh well. I want to believe it'll get better once everything is done and I can just relax in a tidy, comfy place.

I hope we have the base floor ready within the next month. Or at least the living room. It's sad to see our cats wandering there, looking at its emptiness now that there's no couch, no table... We moved some of their beds in there so they have a place to sit, but it's just not the same. They enter, walk around and then give a blank stare to the area like "this place used to be cool, what happened". We plan on setting up some climbing shelves or similar once it's furnished, besides their usual napping spots.

What a great day it's been! I've spent the afternoon with my boyfriend, his mother and his sister installing lamps on her new apartment. It doesn't sound like fun, but we have been waiting for her house to be built for a whole year, so it's very exciting for us! Such a long delay...it must have been quite disappointing for her, but at least it's ready now.

Once everything is set up in her place, she'll move out and we will do the same in our house when she starts living there. We already bought some of the repair materials and a new couch that feels super comfy. Also super expensive. But I guess that's normal for couches.

We came back home at night. I planned on playing Cassette Beasts, which I bought yesterday during a sale (got a pack, not just the base game). But instead, I fell into a rabbit hole of cliques, buttons and stuff on the web. So I guess I'm updating my Toys page instead

Oh, how I wish I had more free time to update the site! I have so many ideas and not nearly enough time to do them. It's still a joy to see it grow little by little

Some busy days are coming with birthdays, a wedding, house repairs...but hey all of them are positive things, so I'm not complaining! What I need is less working hours or something haha

I've finally collected all the variants in my Tamagotchi Uni, yay!! Well, at least the ones that can be obtained without a second device, because I'm not going to meet up with random people just to marry my tamas lol One of these days I'll write a review about it, even though it's not exactly a game. I want to share the things I liked/disliked in it, since it's my first modern device.

Also, I've started to paint summer-vibes "mandalas". No idea why ice creams count as mandalas but ok. I'm hoping they help me relax? At least they nice to paint. Especial mention for another book that had winter-vibes mandalas... with polar bears. For painting. Sure you can use any color, but white bears in a coloring book is certainly a choice. Oh, also, my breathing is almost back to normal. Not really because of painting, but it was 100% anxiety.

I'm starting to recover from my breathing issues. It seems they get better when laying down in bed fully stretched and while talking. I've done a lot of reading out loud because, as silly as it sounds, it forces my breathing to be normal. And it's one of the few things I can do in that position. I don't have that much to do on my phone and laying on my side doesn't help. On the other hand, it gets worse every time I sit down. It's like my body rejects anything related to my work, even if it's just sitting. So I could barely add any content here.

Anyways, at least I've had time for reading and got very inspired. I want to start a little world building project, but not sure how well it'll go. I already had bits of lore here and there, just never put them together. Maybe I'll try it and, if I do, I'll post some of it somewhere in this site. Got ideas for a first version of my Animal Crossing game, new pages I want to write, also want to draw...just right when I can't do any of that lol
