Welcome to my blog. Here I'll post more personal things and updates about my life.
I'm an adult with health issues, and I'm part of a minority group currently under fire, so sometimes things will get heavy. Read at your own risk

March
29, March 2025
Well it's been a crazy March. New job is stressful, I'm trying to just get through it. Coworkers have been getting on my nerves because I work with a bunch of very tech illiterate people. I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to tech, but I know how to do basic troubleshooting, which is usually what fixes my issues so that when I call IT it's an actually serious issue.
Had a lot of doctor tests and visits too, which added to the stress. At the top of the month my BP was 165/112, which is insane... Got sent home with a monitor so I check it now daily and nightly. Thankfully it has gotten down to about 135/90, which isn't quite where it needs to be, but it's close and it's not in a dangerous zone.
I also got diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I was waking up 16 times per hour. In 7 hours I woke up 112 times because I was having trouble breathing. So the doctor will probably order me a CPAP, but I have to go see her to talk about it. That will probably bring my blood pressure down a bit, and maybe help with getting some of this weight off me.
Tonight we are going to hotpot to celebrate my husband getting on HRT. I should have put together our new bedframe while he was at work, but instead I'm doing website updates because I have a cough and it's kinda hard to breathe, so.. there's that.
I added an archive for the blog posts of year's past, mostly so that this page doesn't go on forever. In my head this helps it load faster? I don't actually know if that's true.
I also need to tweak my OC page and actually link it to my RWBY shrine, since basically all my OCs are RWBY OCs at this point. Lots of work to do and I only ever spend like an hour every month doing it. Alas, that is the life of someone with too many fucking hobbies and very little free time.

Long time since my last update. Time gets away from me, and I have too many hobbies- not that that's a bad thing these days, I need as much as I can to keep myself from doom scrolling with how tumultuous the state of the world is. So I've been very immersed in my hobbies and in writing and gaming and also some work stuff that has been a mess to work through.
Start with the stress so I can end on the good, how's that sound?
My company got purchased by another company, and so I had about two weeks to figure out if I wanted to accept the job offer from the new company and not have to look for another job, or take severance from my old company and hit the bricks. Job market sucks right now, and dispite not knowing how the new company will feel about someone like me I'd rather be employed than struggling to find something that will keep us afloat. The move also means I'll be moved from Salaried down to hourly. Not a paycut, but the benefits are slashed when it comes to things like PTO etc, so that kind of blows. Ultimately I'm happy to have a job even though the transition from one company that I've been with for ten years to this unknown is stressful and terrifying.
All my favorite coworkers are going too, so we can at least have eachother to lean on in the hard times.
The good stuff tho? That's been pretty good. Started replaying dothack//GU, Final Fantasy X, and Dokapon Kingdom so I could hop back on my nostalgia trip. I wrote SO MUCH in January and February for my fanfictions, although I've slowed down quite a bit because the inspiration comes in waves for me. I started dusting off old OCs and I think those I WILL post here, I just gotta make a page for them- I know I know, I've got a mile long to do list, don't look at me that way...
I commissioned another cool artist to draw some of my OCs because I dig their style. I've drawn a few things myself, again I'm trying to get back to posting my art here, I think I just never have time to get into the nitty gritty of it when I remember to (like now, it's nearly bedtime and I don't have time to start compressing files and uploading them lol).
My husband and I have gotten hotpot every month since November now, and honestly it's a bright part in my month. And as the weather is getting warmer I think that we are both feeling a little more energetic, We've been able to get more done around the apartment together.
We started going to a cafe a short ways away once a week to write and draw and relax. It's elongated our weekends together simply by getting out and doing things together. I'm so grateful and happy that I have him, I wouldn't be able to handle this without him.
