Life Updates
(7/5/26) We did it! We moved into the new place!! It's my husband's birthday tomorrow and we celebrated by throwing a bring your own pool party.
Bring your own pool party is exactly what it sounds like- you bring your own inflatable or dollar general pool and we all sit in them in the backyard.
We painted bedrooms this weekend as well. I am really struggling with pain and energy after everything we've done. In Sept maybe I should take a week off or something. I'm spent.
Oh pride was last weekend and it SUCKED. Postive side was I did paint a suicide awareness banner and "walked it" in the parade. (I was in the wheelchair since it was so far. Trying to explore my options for participating when my pain is too bad). But the parade was so badly coordinated by the pride organization and they had the nerve to be like "we didn't meet our donation goals :(" and THEN they cancelled the only event for lgbt people of color. Just 0/10. I went to a grassroots pride event as well and I'm glad I did because I think it was def more of what I was looking for. Their biggest L was that it was hosted in a church and I think that is really disappointing for an org that was claiming to be as radical as it was.
(6/14/26) I'm hanging out with all my best friends at my apartment packing boxes this weekend. We were the second friends in this friend group to have lived in this same apartment so its had a lot of memories in it. It's bitter sweet. The time is just passing for it though, it's served us though.
I'm also feeling grief because it's the anniversary of my cousin passing via suicide. I think I need to make a memorial something to process it. It's been 3 years this year. My cousin was very much like myself in middle school. I don't think I'll ever be at peace with it. Being extremely death positive and I even think it's peoples right to commit suicide, doesn't make it any easier though.
(5/30/26) It's crazy that I made this site two years ago. I have still been working on my indie tech and digital minimalism goals. I found out I have OCD apparently. Working through that right now. They put me on a new med and I had to stop taking it after 1 week because it made me insane, I got scared watching a pottery video...
I am making a gord banjo for my husband. I'm finishing the quilt I've worked on for also about 2 years. My friend gifted me a NAS and I'm working on getting some media on there. I am working on a drawing portfolio to apply for tattoo apprenticships after we move.
