I removed the CRT effect due to loading issues and changed to a static gif as the background. I’ve also started working on some more OC pages. (And finally fixed the errors with the playlist displays.)
Soon, I should hopefully be helping a friend work on his own website!

I was able to fix my laptop last night for $35 total. Just needed a new battery and charger. It seems to be working much better now and it was a super easy fix. The battery is literally on top of everything else.
I should, hopefully, be able to update some more pages on the site now. I have some art pieces I need to put up. I was going to make subpages for my original art, but I got frustrated trying to format them. I might do that in the future. I dunno yet. I’ve started making stained glass which is awesome.
The economy is very bad. I just want a damn clerical job. Let me file your papers.

My laptop battery has been shitting itself and I can’t afford to get it fixed so I’m just trying to keep it alive until I can afford to buy a laptop that’s not a major piece of shit. (Fuck HP.) So updates are going to be a lot slower most likely because if my laptop does kill itself fully I’ll have to use the ones at the library and I really don’t want to have to code in browser.
Anyway, other than that I started working on a project to breed a dragon based on Dimitri from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The colors I want are extremely rare (there’s only 7 other dragons with it) so I have to breed one from scratch. These are the dragons I’m starting with.

The goal is Blue/Flaxen/Flaxen.

I’ve decided to switch up how I approach this blog as I was struggling to write daily and have quickly realized that taking that method is just not helpful to me. So, instead I’ll focus on doing recaps when I feel they’re beneficial to me.

Most relevantly, I’ve had many medical and social appointments lately. The medical appointments have been mostly good news, and they’re going to hopefully help me find relief for the disabilities I have. On the other (still good) hand, my more socially oriented ones have been nice, too. I should be approved for a scholarship to a local makerspace soon. They have both a stained glass section and 3D printing machines, so I’m looking forward to using them soon. They also offer classes I’m excited to take. My friend O will also be applying for a scholarship there soon, too.

I’ve also been meeting new people, and catching up with others I already know. Recently, new neighbors have moved in. We haven’t talked much, but they’re both nice from the brief conversations we’ve had. I also caught up with M today (May 13), and met one of J’s friends, and played with her grandson with O. I’ve also been getting back into drawing lately, which I’m pleased with. My friend A and I have also started playing Minecraft together again, as well as (getting back into) IDV and DBD. The new DBD update definitely gives me mixed feelings…

All and all, my life has been improving, but I still miss my mom at times. But we’re working on meeting up again sometime soon. It’s just hard for her to take care of the family and still have time for me, too.

FRIDAY: JR and DR picked me up and we had dinner at a very fancy bistro that I was not prepared for. I had crab ravioli with scallops. It was May’s First Friday, so I walked around Front St. I picked up some Mother’s Day gifts for mom and JP, and a birthday gift for O. I also grabbed some soap (Lemon Pound Cake) and body oil (Vanilla Fig) from a local farm for myself as well as a cow hairclip, some pins (one of David Bowie and one that says COUNT DRACULA FAN CLUB), Grateful Dead playing cards, and a Hellraiser sticker. (I’ll include a picture of the haul. I’ll be censoring the farm’s name so I don’t doxx myself.) I’m really excited to give the gifts to them, but I have to wait. I was home alone that day, so I took care of Milo, Robbie, Gracie, Romeo, and the hens. Momo was very mouthy lol. The hairclip I bought broke right after I brought it home, which pissed me off. But it was the only one they had so I fixed it.

SATURDAY: I wanted to go to their farmers market, but it was raining so I stayed home. The cats puked on the floor twice. :( So I had to clean that up. O and JP got home at about 6:30, so we chatted and watched Kenobi and ate chicken dip. It was a really uneventful but nice day.

Hello world! It's April 30, 2025 and I am reworking this site for the bajillionth time. I am making this post so that this page isn't blank! There is still a lot to do on this site, but that's ok.
