Little Things
I'm getting sick. Or, well, SICKER. I'm always sick. But I woke up this morning with my sinuses blocked up and a bit of a sore throat that's going up into my ears, which is never a good sign. I have a tickle in my chest, too, so there's something going on there as well. I'm not really bad yet but give it a day or two and I'll be a mess. I knew it was coming, though, because I've been craving mushroom soup like WHOA, and I only really crave soup when I'm getting sick. Blegh. Not looking forward to the next week.
Anyway.
So, I complained and magically all my Temu orders were shipped out like three to four hours later, including the ones with preordered items in them, which I wasn't expecting. Assuming everything arrives on time, I'm happy with the customer service on Temu so far. Also I now have like... TWELVE orders in various stages of on the way to me, which is ridiculous and frankly kind of bad. I need to stop going on Temu, especially since I have to take the cats to the vet in February (Juna) and March (Pluto.) And the last three or four orders don't even have anything for other people for Christmas in them, they're strictly orders for myself, which... yeah. I have no self control.
I do, however, have Mom and my little brother sorted for Christmas via Temu (as well as Mom's birthday this year) and some stuff coming in for Dad that will complete his gifts as well, and something for Lee, though I still need to find more for him later on. So that's good, I guess. But it doesn't make up for my blatant overspending, that's for sure. :|
I also bought a copy of the movie Daddy's Little Girl on DVD from ebay yesterday. It's basically torture porn, which I'm usually not into (except for the Saw series), but for some reason this one is weirdly compelling, even though it makes me cringe sometimes. I think because the torture is so creative and not stuff I've seen in other movies, if that makes sense? I dunno, I just wanted it for my collection. I watched it on Tubi a few months back, and then again last night because they miraculously still have it. I'm considering picking up American Mary at some point, too, which isn't torture porn, but is like... graphic, twisted medical stuff. I've watched it a couple of times now, too, and the more I watch it the more I like it. But I guess we'll see.
Yesterday Trunks was supposed to be coming over to do laundry and for Mom to take him out and do groceries, but he cancelled at the last minute because he had to go to the ER for a TMI medical problem. He's fine, just uncomfortable, and he's supposed to be coming over today instead (I think.) I'm foisting off a bunch of sugary cereals on him, since I shouldn't have them anymore (because I can't have anything that tastes good anymore), and I asked him to bring one of his SPN USB drives from Christmas over because I have something to add to it (Supernatural The Anime Season 1 + Extras.) Not sure if he'll remember, but I've reminded him twice, now, so hopefully?
When the stupid external filter (with the surface skimmer that I desperately need) overflowed and flooded my room (there are still damp spots on the carpet gdi), it got water into the dresser, too, so I've spent the last few days doing a SHIT TON of laundry and then leaving the drawers open to finish drying properly. I have piles of laundry all over my room atm. But in DOING all that laundry I've found a bunch of clothes that no longer fit me, and I really have no chance in hell of EVER getting back into them, even if I DO manage to lose some of this PCOS/NAFLD weight. I'll never be as skinny as I was ten years ago. So, a couple of (small) bags of clothes are going to Valu Village some time soon-ish, including some pieces that I absolutely love and hate to part with. This whole medical weight thing really sucks. :(
For the last few months, Mom had been sleeping like 20 hours a day and I've commented on it a couple of times, and finally asked her to please talk to Dr. K about it next time she's in because I'm really getting concerned, but she says she's just bored. Apparently when she gets bored she gets sleepy, which I don't personally understand, but okay. I'm like... so do stuff. All she does is sit on the couch all day watching TV. If you're BORED read from your kindle, or do a puzzle, or whatever... I know she would rather be OUTSIDE doing things, but she can't exactly garden right now, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do INSIDE. I'm sorry that Lee insists on watching the same three shows over and over and over again, but like, you have to be proactive, too. Maybe I should teach her how to make candles or jewelry or something, I dunno.
Only 18 days until I get to see Dr. K and can ask her about upping my ADHD meds, as well as SO MANY questions about NAFLD and PCOS, and why the fuck they can't check PCOS without an internal vaginal ultrasound NOW, when I was diagnosed with the condition via a REGULAR ultrasound 20 years ago?? I also need to talk to her about my CRIPPLING BACK PAIN whenever I lift something or twist the wrong way (hint: pretty much ever way is the wrong way) or bend over or do basically anything. I need muscle relaxants or painkillers or SOMETHING so help with the situation because the scoliosis is REAL.
I have a bunch of buttons I want to make for The Walking Dead, quotes and stuff, but I need to download the proper sized template from Vograce so I can do them, and I have to get my Etsy store back up and running now that the postal strike is over. Soon I'll have a bunch more Wiggly Foxes to post, not that the ones I already have posted are selling or anything. I need to take more pics of them, though, because now Etsy's algorithm doesn't even show listings in searches if they have less than two pictures, which is stupid.
Honestly, my entire Etsy journey so far has been frustrating... I know my stuff is good, and worth what I'm asking for it, and would do GREAT at a con or actual market, but on Etsy it all just sits and collects dust. It's frustrating and disheartening because I put a lot of effort into the pieces that I put up for sale. I think buttons might sell better, though, I just have to get off my duff and post them. =/
