Other life goodies

zuzuzu

 This photo of Chika, my former stepmother's dog, shows pretty much what I've been having to do ever since I found out that there was something wrong with my liver and subsequently immune system. Though one can only sleep for so long before it gets  monotonous. To shake things up a little, my room got re-arranged.

 So much Rilakkuma already, apparently moving my bed really created space and made my room seem bigger, or so I heard. Teddy is chilling with Chika. It's not easy to see but next to my Prinny pillow is a katana and shinobigatana. My bokens are now finally mounted on my wall as well. I have also received a Klingon bath'let but as I am neither into Star Trek (ok ok I like Picard and the new movie was awesome) I will need to find it a new home.

 The additional bookcase REALLY helped, now all my manga and artbooks can sit on their own. Starting from the top left: Video games arranged from PC-PS3, Manga in Alphabetical order to Artbooks,Instructional/Anatomy, G&L Bibles & Mooks, How tos, Cosplay and Sewing/Crafts. Next shelf is Dvds and BluRays going from General to anime, a little divider space for nick nacks and collectables before going into rare books, then oodles of fiction mostly Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Anne Rice, Victorian & Gothic novels. Little mini fridge with misc stuff. Of course heaps of plush toys.

 Last book case carries over my fiction but tails more towards 'Juvenille' fiction such as Diane Wayne Jones, Harry Potter and the Narnia series. Below that is all cooking, under that is more text books and resources after that is just misc empty space/filing.

Then last but not least is my work station/corner. That big black red thing looming is my monster Prometheus. Seriously I'm saturated in figures, nendoroids and plushes but I love them all and they all are dear to me. I'm really wondering when all my medication will kick in and I'll be able to sleep. Oh well back to listing things for sale on eBay.

Changes and Revalations

So I'm back again, this month has been very hard on me. I had to wake up to some things I really didn't want to. I realize I have made many mistakes in the past, I let things slide, let people who I treasure down and grown very distant. In other words I failed. HARD. I hope I can fix and change the problems to maybe try and get back the things I may be losing if not completely lost already. I really hope I have a chance, it keeps me motivated, and hoping. I'm told so long as you have hope then there's always a chance.

  One of many I've had to courier to and from labs/visits

                                             
Equally I've become very very sick, despite going to the doctor every few days and doing a lot of tests and lab work, I'm still left with more questions than answers and wondering what I am going to do in the next few months and past it. Subsequently to keep my liver all nice and working I've gone through a weird 'cleanse' diet. I am currently barred from meats, milk products, fats, soy leaving me very little in the way of what is acceptable to eat. Not going to lie, it sucks, once this diet is over I'm totally getting something chicken in a cream sauce...and dessert. I can't even have tea which is one of the worst things, since it brings me comfort. And right now, when it seems like I'm discovering another complication every other day which adds more frustration (and subsequently more medicines) to me I really wish I could have a nice cup of tea and a hug.


In the mean time I'm doing what I can in my 'bubble' to keep busy. Mostly class work, however I'm looking forward to potentially completing 6-7 classes this year. Something that will take a good chunk out of whats left of my degree.  Equally it looks like a have a new part time job as a photo editor, while it's contract work I will still keep looking for more work to not only help pay for classes but to help me to my bigger more long term goals.


On the art spectrum, I've started on my first art book. I'm planning for it to be between 28 to 36 pages. Entitled, 'You Monster!". Equally I'm trying to restart my side commission business. Plus doing various tutorials to try and get better.


I don't want to sound preachy cause it's not my style, still I lost sight of what really mattered in my life and relationships, while the realization was heartbreaking and painful I know that I need to do a bit of growing up. Which is only right and fair, I have my goals now and I will drag myself across glass to have them. I pray that I can have them all again and even more

Worries and Prometheus

I had originally planned to start off my break from school with getting lots of other things in order and completed, such as dealing with Financial Aid, Grants and such. Things which I'm quite scared off to be honest when my old computer's HDD died on me. With it being such an old model it went from just getting a new HDD to in the end having to get a new PC all together. After we purchased some bits and took parts from others, Prometheus was created.


 This is quite a monster to be frank, the case I was given dwarfs the old one and has a massive red eye and a tiny blue one. I could go on about the specks but thats not the point. Though it is living up to it's namesake, the rig "attacked" my younger brother who assembled it by ripping out some of his hair. Hopefully my new behemoth will last me for a long long time. Still all the money spent, while obviously being worthwhile was still a lot.

I'm hoping that now since the new rig is up and running and everything is installed again, I can get back to my previous plans. Here's hoping! Wish me luck everyone
