A Trip Down Memory Lane
May. 13th, 2021 05:24 pm Hello Dreamwidth, I actually forgot you existed for more than a year.
On the bright side, posting now feels like I skipped over the nightmarish and apocalyptic year that was 2020. I mean, if I could have skipped it I would have, but that's impossible, and it does not do to dwell on impossibilities that will only serve to depress and not spread joy. Seriously though, what the hell was with 2020. If it wasn't one bad thing it was another. The only difference was it was the whole world living through a global dumpsterfire.
I have been reading so, so, so much new stuff it's unbelievable. At the moment I am desperately waiting for my favourite current novels/manhua/manhwa to be translated, especially Trash of the Count's Family, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Solo Leveling, The S-Classes That I Raised, I Have Medicine, and a few more.
Hopefully when I come back here in the future, these will be translated and I can look back at my past self and laugh. But probably not. I just pray nothing bad happens and they get dropped.
My bag is now covered in badges. Tony's been buying me ones that he says suits me, and I ended up gluing them to my backpack/handbag. All my MDZS ones are front and center, and then the rest of the space is full of weird badges that I actually kind of like. Maybe one day I'll take a picture and add it here. Since I never leave the house (except for doctor/hospital appointments) the badges are in very good condition.
I also have quite a few bunny themed badges and stuff. Tony said to me that until I started buying the MDZS stuff he didn't realise how much I adored bunnies. He knew I loved cats, birds, and deer, but he was surprised to discover I also loved bunnies, and hamsters. Especially bunnies. He bought me a two foot raccoon plushie and gave it to me, because he couldn't find any bunnies in the shop, and that is so damn adorable it stays next to my bedside table, beside the WWX and LWJ bunnies.
Some good things that happened:
♥ NOX emulator is surprising good. I find it so much easier to play Love Nikki.
♥ PillTime is a lifesaver. I don't have to keep remembering to order my medication and get it delivered.
♥ Flamish's NovelGrabber has made life reading novels so much easier. I can download them, add them to Calibre, and then read them with my reading settings.
♥ I found some really, really nice instrumental Jazz music on YouTube that lasts between 4-8 hours so I can have some lovely background music while I get stuff done.
♥ I've started playing My Time At Portia. It's fun. Or at least it is fun now with a few mods for easier playtime.
♥ Tony and I have been having date nights with tabletop games, Netflix, and making more of an effort to just spend time together without the computers.
♥ Tony and I have been together for more than twenty years now. It's amazing just thinking about it. We've been together since 1999.
That's all for now. I never intended to actually post anything, but my previous entry was just too depressing to see as a first entry.
To any strangers, and old friends reading this - hello, I hope you have a nice day, or lovely evening, and I wish you well. Also, have a hug.
