Wow, only half way through the year and I'm already having to play catch-up with my recap posts!
To keep it brief; I've been really overwhelmed with my work and personal health lately. Sometimes even engaging in hobbies, like this site, feels like work. It's also been really nice outside lately and sometimes I prefer going out and touching grass over looking at a screen for hours.
Still, I love having a website, I didn't want to have all the stuff I wanted to talk about in my recap posts pile up. So, here are some things I did over the past couple months.
It's been a little while since I've last posted. I've been preoccupied with offline stuff, so working on this site hasn't been a priority recently. Still, I've done a few things worth noting, and I really wanted to publicly thank some of the people who were nice enough to take time out of their days to help me out with technical stuff , so here's some updates on that.
⚠️ This post may contain minor spoilers for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. (Yes, really.)
I've been so excited for the full release of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream! Unfortunately, while I was playing the demo I bought an item from the clothing shop, which effectively ends the demo and keeps all mii events from happening. I can't do anything until the full game actually releases and I can transfer my save data.
So, to quench my extreme thirst for Tomodachi Life content, I booted up what I thought was a fresh save for the old Tomodachi Life on 3DS, only to realize that I already started a save file for the game about a year ago.
March has been a little rough for me. I didn't do that much, honestly. I got sick multiple times and my flare ups have also been pretty bad. I've been exhausted and not as motivated to work on anything, but I'm hoping to turn that around in April.
I'm always looking for new blogs to follow via RSS and a good way to do that is to search through the various blog directories out there. Most directories are sorted by topic and I've come to realize that I'm a lot more picky than I thought!
I'll be honest, February wasn't nearly as productive as I would have liked it to be. My mind was mostly focused on just "making it through the day/week/month". I had a whole list of things I was supposed to get done in my bullet journal (which I was too burnt out to use for most of the month) and I think I only crossed out two or three.
I started collecting itemLabel plushies last year. I wanted to include some recent photos of them in my next monthly recap post, but I realized that I had so many stashed away in my phone that I should probably share the old ones first. So This post will just be a dump of those, along with my assorted thoughts.
Everything's supposedly a "recession indicator" nowadays. "recession indicator" this, "recession indicator" that, it's usually over pretty frivolous stuff too. I always take the phrase with a grain of salt.
But the other day I got one of those "cash for gold" type ads before a YouTube video. I haven't even one of those since Obama was in office! A true, actual, genuine recession indicator if I've ever seen one. We are so cooked!
I got to go on a surprise trip to the conservatory the other day! We met up with a family friend there. I took a bunch of photos while I was there too, so I thought I might as well share them here!
