4 months since my last journal.
3 years ago
General
Hi fuzzies, its been a while. I just felt like posting a journal to keep everyone updated as to whats going on. There are times when I can REALLY get crazy with these journals but now is not that time. Maybe this is a trend but there are still a few "challenges" to come within the next 6-8 months.
- Im just Just fighting the "good fight" otherwise and trying to survive. I'm following a slow acquisition of things I like from my amazon wish list while making my apartment nice. Art sadly remains at the bottom of the list but I have obtained a few new pics that I have not "double posted" on my profile. I have a policy of not posting a pic if an artist or someone else does so you will just have to search me on FA for them.
- I'm doing ok but struggling financially. I haven't had much of a chance to buy any art or other luxuries thanks to inflation but been active on my IMs and chats (a lot) and things have been generally positive. I would rate my social life alot higher right now and my happiness is "stable" but I do wish I had more resources with things.
I am triying to get back into the gym as well to work on weight loss. But Im "plateauing" at a 48 US again. I'm so disappointed too because I haven't lost a single pound in 2 years. I haven't gained any weight either but I also have lost inches off my waist. I'm not sure whats going on but I REALLY need to look at doing something different over time. Like major.. Gym Memberships are expensive though....
- Ive been having to ask for donations a few times since Christmas as well. This worries me a lot. I'm happy to have help but relying on disability with no ability to generate income (or having to sell my glassware maybe as its the only 'valueable" thing i own) is a bit scary (more on that below). Even then however its not a "generator" just a one time exchange for something else and a band-aid. I may have to give up my gym membership or reduce my internet (from 40/10 to 15/1) as well to make room for more pressing needs. this carries its own consequence.
- Work remains a possible long term goal, but with my aging parents I'm pretty busy. I've yet to find anything I can actually do with my "trifecta" of issues ,,.and many barriers. But I'm openly investigating opportunities and ideas that are realistic.
- I'm cooking for 4 tonight for a late mother's day meal--Chicken Cacciatore--for my parents and a friend. I may take a pic of the table with stuff from my I like blue collection (that's in scraps). Of course though, I have since moved twice from that picture. I have proper china cabinets for them and display it proudly. I do actively use my dishes and glassware as well as my normal dishware from Ikea. Its one of the few things I do enjoy and love right now.
- I have been cooking quite a bit as well but I'm not good at food photography so I only post in my chat groups of what I make. though I have a good proper camera camera its just hard to capture food properly when you are sharing and serving guests (and its easier to reach for a phone to upload to a chat room). Plus I don't want my friends or family in my photographs on FA (naturally). I don't like doing setups and take downs that a proper photograph requires and having to work without a good free image program to fix them properly (since I don't have Photoshop or gimp anymore).
- I did something stupid last month and added another 290 dollars of debt. One that I'm stuck with for the next 6 months -.- I wont go into details but yeah, consider it a "fine" for some damage I caused in a 'fight'. Things are okay now and im not in anymore trouble so I just gotta watch my 'P's and Q's' and pay my punishment.
- Ontario is going through an election in June and ODSP administration is an election issue. Stay tuned for more as soon as I feel like talking about it. voting date is June 2, 2022 and things could change very quickly once again.
That's it for now I guess. If you wanna chat or comment go ahead I don't bite. I tend to prefer IMs even though I keep my IMs to known only to prevent spam. If you would like to go that route just note or message me and we will exchange handles in some way.
I have emails and Unlimited North American SMS as well if you wanna use that too. I had to finally go with an unlimited phone because my parents make me use over 400 minutes a month with multiple calls a day so yeah its cool. XD
