I have officially been sick for a week now. They tested for covid, the flu, strep, and even x-rayed me for pneumonia, but nothing! I've been sleeping most of the time because I'm just so tired, but I think the antibiotics and nebulizer are starting to help. Fingers crossed that I feel better and get back to work soon. Oh, and to top it off, I accidentally deleted all the code for my stamp collection. Luckily I still had a webpage open of it before I deleted the code, but it still took a long time to add them all back in order.

I'm feeling a little better everyday thankfully! The nebulizer has helped a lot and I'm not quite as fatigued. I even felt good enough to go to my nephews football game Saturday which is always nice. Afterwards me and my husband went to Cibolo Nature Center which is a blast from the past, I used to go there all the time when I was about 10. We went on a nice hike and dipped our toes in the creek. We even saw some crawdads and an armadillo that came right up to us! It felt nice to get some fresh outside air into my fucked up lungs. Today we are planning on going fishing and swimming and I even got me my own fishing pole. Let's see if I can catch anything!

Just got back from fishing/swimming! The water was pretty cool and felt real nice. Fishing was a little more of a rollercoaster though xD Turns out we had put the fishing line on wrong so it kept popping off. We had to completely redo it but we fixed it! And I ended up catching a catfish! We had a hard time getting it off the hook but after some struggling we got it off. My husband always says we learn more from our mistakes, which I guess is true in this case!

Man, it's been a while and a lot has changed since my last entry! Firstly, we've finally moved to Washington! I feel like all my wishes finally came true. Secondly, I've been writing a lot more! I have over 100 pages on my Theo story.

I'm loving Washington so far! I'm living in a beautiful place where I can swim in a gorgeous lake any time I want! My work is mostly just cleaning bathrooms but the view makes it a lot better. The jump from Texas to Washington is wild to me in the best way. Inclusivity is second nature in so many things, at least when compared to Texas. Hell, when I went to get my new license I got to change my gender, no questions asked. I have to admit the worst thing is the loneliness. Making new friends is hard, especially when you know no one. My husband works the night shift while I work the day shift, so we only see each other for lunch and dinner and weekends. I was never close with my family, but I do miss my mom. That and I recently went no contact with my dad made me realize how little of a family my family actually is. I realize now I am ranting about the negative, but I promise I love it here. This is a place I can grow roots, it'll just take some time.

The writing has been going really well! I have a fleshed out timeline and have managed to write a good bit! My husband jokes that it's my book, and it almost is except it probably won't ever see anything beyond a computer screen. But I'm happy to have xem and my one friend read it. To be honest it's mostly for me, I spend a good chunk of my day thinking about the characters and ideas for what to write next. It's so bad that I'm spending my extra money to get art commissions of my blorbos. Maybe one day I'll start uploading it here if anyone stumbled across this site and wanted to read it, but I'm always going back and rewriting things so who knows when that'll happen.

In the meantime I'm going to try and start updating this site more! Maybe hire someone with better coding skills to get me set up with a few ideas I've had bouncing around. Talk to you next time!

Howdy friends! How things can change in just half a year!

We have moved again, this time to the coast of the Olympic Peninsula! I really enjoyed our time at 25 Mile Creek State Park and the summer we got to spend there. I loved working for the Washington parks and Lake Chelan was so beautiful! When I wasn't cleaning bathrooms I was in the ice cold water or writing (mostly because we didn't have internet or phone signal for a good part of it ha). Sadly though it was only a summer job and the area was pretty dead outside of it otherwise we probably would have stayed there.

Living in a rainforest has been amazing though! Everything is so lush and green and I go for a hike often, just enjoying the breathtaking scenery. The rain is relentless and other than a leak in our roof I love it, it's so cosy. I haven't managed to secure a new job thanks to the winter and the terrible job market, but we've been making due. My husband even started a job as a bus driver and is loving it! Union jobs for the win!

I also started taking testosterone shortly after my last blog post, so I've been on it for about six months! I officially have the mustache of a 14 year old boy and I think I'm rocking it as much as one can xD I'm not loving how greasy and acne covered I am, but other than that there's only upsides! I can't wait to see what my transition journey has to offer :) Washingtonians have been great and accepting, which is a contrast to my family back in Texas. I have only come out to my mom, who only wants to ignore it. She told me not to tell the rest of my family (they'll be in for a shock if I ever visit again and suddenly have a deep voice and facial hair lol) and has yet to refer to me correctly, but oh well. My husband loves me for me and his family was a bit more supportive. And at the end of the day as long as I'm happy with myself that's all that matters :)

Writing has slowed down since the summer but I'm still committed to it! On the game I play obsessively, Lioden, I even managed to get a handful of people to be beta readers! I feel like their comments have already helped to improve the story so far. Being unemployed should help me have more time for writing lol, but for right now improving the site is my top priority.

Guess what I got at the thrift store!!!

A CD from 1994 with almost 200 classic retro backgrounds! I've been eyeing it for a few months now and finally grabbed it. I'm hoping to upload them all here so the NeoCities community can use them. Sadly my laptop doesn't have a disk slot and when I dug out my disk player from storage I couldn't find its specific chord. But! As soon as I can scrounge up a couple more dollars I'll get the chord and start uploading them. I'm super excited to see what 1994 has to offer :)
