Getting Ready For Fall 🍁🍂🎃
I’ve been a little quiet recently I know. Sorry about that! Been getting the house looking a little nicer, and decorated, working on commissions, working on my books, and yes, still dealing with my depression too. It’s still a heavy weight on my shoulders. I am doing the best I can. I hope you are all doing well, too. Anyway this was my lunch today, a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich 🥪 🥒
I allowed myself to game a little today. Maplenut kept me company:
And so did Kotoko! This is a bad photo, but Kotoko is heavy and she wasn’t letting me move really or even breathe!
Then it was time for a snacc:
Something to look forward this weekend –baking seasonal cookies!
I’m going to a Littles meet on Sunday, and trying to stay busy and cheerful. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday! 🎃
Snazzy Chips Ahoy 🐼🌈
A nice bandana came in the mail for Chips Ahoy yesterday. He is really happy! 🐼 💕
Morning Snack 🍓🎀
Today I’m having my morning snack with Milk Tea:
She loves Pizzelle cookies too!
Good Morning, Friendos! ☀️🌈
Dorito wishes you a good morning too:
Time for some morning cuddles…
Now I’m off with Christopher to garage sales and brunch!! MoonPie is coming along 🧸🌙
Hope you have a wonderful day! 💕
Little Wrap-Up Of The Day 😴
Last night I slept with Janie. I hadn’t slept with a stuffie in some time, generally I fear ruining them in some way. But I thought Janie has been stored except for Christmas at her old home got many years now so I wanted her to be snuggled like a proper teddy. 🧸💕
Here’s a little snack I had today 👻 🥓
I love these socks that bought this afternoon at Five Below. I changed into them before going out this evening.
Mmm, gummies… you want some? They’re cola flavored 🥤 MoonPie is happy to share! 🌈 Got these at Five Below also.
In addition to socks, I found suspenders today. I never had any before. I had a chance to wear them since after my walk I was such an utter mess so I had to change to go out to dinner with Christopher.
Tomorrow we are having a morning out together, garage saling and brunch. I am so excited about it because it’s been such a long time! 💕🌈
Outing With Chips Ahoy 🐼🌈
I wasn’t doing well at all mental health wise today, so I decided to try to go out for a while to the park. Just take myself in hand and at least make an effort to feel better. I started by prepping a “Little” outfit:
As some of you might notice, this is actually Chips Ahoy 2.0. During my vast purge, the original Chips Ahoy was rehomed. But I was very, very fond of the name that was originally suggested by Flen. I promised myself I would call my next panda that. Anyway here he is with my TamagotchiOn and ready for Funky Sock Friday. 🧸💕🌈
So I actually ended up going round this entire massive park in 100° heat with no water because the exit I was going to at the other end of the park was closed so I had to find the main entrance again. I think I came fairly close to heat stroke but hey! I made it out safely, and got some nice photos.
I found a more secluded spot to take a couple photos of myself, but at this point I was already dying lol 💀💦
I found two playgrounds but no swings! Hmph. But I was able to get some cute pictures of Chips Ahoy. Thankfully he’s very fuzzy otherwise his bum would have burned. Everything was hot enough to fry eggs! 🔥

I will tell you it’s a lot harder to think of fun selfie captions when you’re depressed. Like. Here’s my face. I’m smiling. I don’t really feel like it, but there it is, because I’m not gonna take a sad emo selfie. Lol. Well, I’m not magically feeling better but at least I made an effort to go out and I’m proud of myself for that. I am also very very sweaty. Oh god. So sweaty.
And here we are! Listening to music and drawing and having a pumpkin spice Frappuccino and a feta and spinach pretzel. 🎃🥨
When I get tired I’ll head home and hop in the shower. Do I feel better? I don’t know. Maybe? I’m sweaty and tired, I guess that’s a distraction at least.
I Can’t Always Be Happy, But I’m Trying 🌞✌
Madeline says, good morning! 🌞
I woke up around 6am today when Christopher went downstairs for painkillers for his headache. He felt bad for waking me up but I was very glad (not about his headache lol) because I have wanted to be up earlier for some time, so I can go out and cheer up a little.
To be honest I’ve been feeling a little lonesome and depressed. 😞 I want to invite friends over but the house is really dirty… I’ve made a decision to have a cleaning service because with commissions, 4 cats, and 3 rats, and how massive this house is (2400 square feet 2 story with a million stupid trinkets) it’s absolutely discouraging. 😩 It can take me 2-3 days to clean it and I have to stop from sheer exhaustion. I don’t even get it fully up to scratch. So I’d rather draw for 2 days and pay someone else to come do it. 🤷♀️
Yesterday I finished paying Christopher off for Megaplex expenses so now I’m saving the money for the cleaning. Then I can invite friends over without being embarrassed. Ah, that good ol’ Latin woman guilt about the house…! 😅 It’s also what kept me from hiring someone all this time. I’m supposed to be good at this right?? That’s some sort of self-racism right there… but these stereotypes are hard to shake off. I can’t cook, either. Lol.
Because today I got up so early, the rats were still active and excited. It was nice to see them so perky. I watched the sunrise from my window… now it’s time to start my day.
Soon after I got ready to head out to Dollar Tree 🌳 and do some grocery shopping. This is hands down my favorite pair of overalls currently!
You couldn’t see my socks but they are decently cute too:
Also, I love this bracelet so freaking much!! myrcurystoybox gave it to me at Megaplex last August. It’s one of my favorites!
While out and about, I noticed Spirit Halloween is getting ready to open! 🎃 🍁 🍂🕸🕷🦇 I can hardly wait.
My local Publix had an ecstatic Cookie Monster piñata surrounded by cookies for their BOGO deal of the week! 🍪 It was pretty funny.
I’ve been trying my best to stay cheerful and work really hard.💕🌈🧸
I thought I got the cats a seasonal toy, but it’s a condor, not a turkey. 🦃 It’s pretty funny looking, though:
Post shopping snack. ☕️ 🍪 My mood has been all over the place… Already said it, but, I can’t wait to have the house cleaned so I can decorate and then invite some friends over. I think that will do me good.
Tomoyo kept me company. To call Tomoyo a handful would be the understatement of the year. But I still love her very much.
In other news, Jane, as her original owner had named, arrived today. I tweaked that name slightly —for me, she’ll be Janie. She seemed to have a slightly smell, maybe cigarettes I don’t know, thankfully it was SUPER faint but I’m very sensitive to those, so I febreezed her and left her in the hot Florida sun a few hours. Good as new!
I had the shirt and bow and made the necklace, her owner sent me the little pinafore. I think Janie looks very happy in her new home!
She looks very much like a koala to me 🐨 So that’s what I think her as being.
A Happy Tuesday 🐀🌈✨
This is gonna be one of those “whole day/updated as I go” posts… which are always a bit strange, so bear with me as I update it. 😁
For starters, Dorito wants to wish you a happy morning! 🌞🌈 Took this pic during his morning cuddles earlier:
The storm is growing in size but has diminished in strength. Still no sign of it here. Maybe tonight? It seems we have been spared, I am infinitely grateful for this, but it is terrible what it has done to the Bahamas. Here we even have a normal mail day and schools reopen tomorrow. I might even be able to coax Christopher to take me out a while.
I’ve been taking painkillers every few hours, my cramps are bad… but I’m gonna try my best, today too, to have a good day.
It’s noon. I’m really happy! Christopher took me to Target and JoAnns and Mod Pizza and after lunch he said I can get a pumpkin spice latte! I’ve cheered up a lot! 🎃🦇🕸🕷🍂
After lunch we went to JoAnn. They were having a sale of 70% off their blizzard fleece. This is a big deal for me, I needed new fleece for the rats REALLY badly, the girls just shred it to pieces.
I use the fleece over and over since it’s their bedding (I wash it). So I got literally $100 worth of good quality fleece for $29!! I still need to cut it to fit the cage, but yeah. Good stuff. Always check the coupons, folks!! This was a single day deal with the app coupon. I’m very pleased.
I also got some fall things to decorate the studio and library!! I’m gonna decorate this week!
Stuff is from Joann and Target. I just love this time of year SO FREAKING MUCH!! Even though nothing much changes here, at least I can go crazy with my decorating, and that makes me happy.
Home again. Tres Leches is enjoying the first pumpkin spice latte of the season with me! 🎃💕
Here’s something that came in today!
I can’t recommend muninahandmade’s Tamagotchi covers highly enough!!! 💕🌈🎀 WOW!! Just so lovely and well made and there’s even a slit on top so you can still use a charm if you want to. It looks great!
Dinner for tonight 🎃 I ate a lot earlier so I wasn’t very hungry.
And that’s it! It really was a fun day.
An All-Around Bummer Of A Day 🌧️
Hey everyone. I’m sorry for being so quiet today. 😓 Things are ok hurricane-wise. The winds are supposed to start in about an hour and last throughout the night. I’m still in the library with the window open… it’s really calm. 😶
But PMS is hitting me as hard as it did last month. 😣 I’m in a horrible, HORRIBLE mood which is a real contrast to my usual. You see all the happy posts almost every day and most of the time I’m pretty happy, but my PMS can put me in a “I hate my life/body/everything/drawing isn’t fun/reading or gaming isn’t fun/anything I eat makes me feel guilty/wish I could sleep this away but I’m not sleepy” mood… and… it sucks. 😥 I feel almost violently angry so I stay by myself so my poor husband isn’t forced to deal with me since there is nothing he can do that will cheer me up.
I tried café con leche and cookies and I hated myself for eating them. But time with the ratties and reading Little Lulu made me feel marginally better. Anyway sorry for such a long whiny post. It’s just one of those days… 🌧️
