Last night was New Year's Eve, so I guess Happy 2025, everyone. I'm just hoping that this year is better than 2024 was. 2024 wasn't my favorite. 2025 isn't starting off the best, but it isn't starting off terribly either, so I guess there's that. Mostly I'm just worried about Poe again because they deleted their Insta (again) and that means they're going through a bad time. They always delete their social media when they're going through a bad time. I just wish they'd talk to me, just a little. Maybe we could work things out a bit and I could stop feeling so guilty. That's selfish of me, isn't it?
Probably...
I'm on to coconut milk in my testing of all the various milks. I've moved through soy and almond and still have oat to go. So far I like them all, and the Silk brand is the best, I think, but I can't afford to BUY the Silk brand in the quantities I need, so I have to get it from Costco and buy Kirkland brand which isn't nearly as good. I guess the Next milk is tolerable and they sell that in bulk at Costco, though, so I might be stuck with that. I dunno. I'll figure it out.
Last night I gave the birds their holiday treat sticks. Normally I give our treats on Christmas Day, but I only had one honey stick left so I had to order more and they just came in yesterday, so they became New Year's treats instead. I guess it doesn't really matter either way, the birds don't know the difference, so it's fine. They'll enjoy them all the same. (But they flapped around like idiots when I reached into the cages, as usual.)
Yesterday I finished watching the first season of The Walking Dead: Dead City and thoroughly enjoyed it (mostly because Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan) and I'm looking forward to the next season. Now I'm watching The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live and Rick is the most frustrating version of himself EVER in it like COME ON ALREADY but otherwise it's pretty decent. I also have The Walking Dead: The World Beyond seasons 1 & 2 to watch after this. And the first 3 seasons of Fear The Walking Dead on DVD.
I woke up early this morning and started painting some picture frames that I'll eventually add stickers to for decoration. Right now they're just base white (mostly) so I can paint colors of over them more easily, but eventually they'll be colorful and quirky because that's how I like my picture frames. One is for a pic of Mom, my little brother and I from when we were tiny babbies, another is for a pic of me and my little brother from when I was maybe 6 and he was 4, the third is for the Halloween pic of us from when we were little and I was a crayon for Halloween and he was a Ghostbuster, and the last is for a pic of me and all eight of my cats from when I was living with my brother briefly a few years ago. I ordered stickers off AliExpress haha.
Still waiting on Wren!doll to ship, but I ordered her with the custom face-up so I guess it'll take a couple of days. I'm impatient but not actually worried about anything yet. Her wigs and the shirt and skirt/corset combo that I ordered for her have shipped, though, so that's good.
I decided I wanted a copy of Cooties on DVD and found a cheap copy on ebay so that should arrive in February, along with Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 and Inside Out 2. Yesterday my copies of Imaginary, Don't Breathe 2 and The Watchers came in, along with my folding shovel for my bug-out bag and my thermal tights, also for my bug-out bag. And of course budgie treats.
Last night I got Mom to help me figure out all the features on my folding buck knife... it's like a Swiss army knife on steroids, I'm somewhat in love with it. It's also for my bug-out bag.
I really wish I had my own apartment, though, so I could prep properly. Water stores and shelves of canned food and rice and stuff like that. But the affordable housing people aren't in any hurry to give me a place, apparently, because I've been on the list for YEARS and so far nada. It's frustrating (especially because of the stupid fucking time limit on the storage of my belongings, too.)
I'm actually working on Temper Tantrums right now, but possibly only because I decided to add in a smut scene after all. I'm also working on Echoes a little. I SHOULD be working on TKA but like, tomorrow I'm posting Chapter 5 of Storm Season and I'm trying to get as many of the post-SS one-shots finished as possible before I'm done posting it. So I keep writing Destiel instead of Taidan and like... it's not good, really. Original stuff should take priority, especially now. Though my ADHD meds definitely needs tweaking, right now...
Also, I didn't get my baking and stuff done yesterday so like. Maybe today? I feel mildly better today.
