Little Update

Hi Everyone, 

It’s hard to believe summer just started with how hot and rainy it has been lately. It’s been so hot that i’ve been waking up drenched in sweat (gross, believe me I KNOW). I hope that you all are keeping cool in this heat and humidity. 

Not much has been changing, but a lot has been going on with the house. It now is being framed, but there is still a lot to go, so we are still living in the apartment. It hasn’t been awful (to me at least - my mother on the other hand would tell you it was the end of the world). It’s not the best thing in the world, but it’s not the worst either. It’s shelter. 

Emotionally I’m holding up, but it’s been a struggle. I’ve had to go back on valerian root and fish oil every day and I’ve added melatonin to my schedule too. It’s upset my sleeping schedule, but I am sleeping earlier and waking up earlier (even if I go back to sleep haha). It’s helped my insomnia, but I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams and night terrors, most likely a side effect, but it’s better than staying up over half the night in an anxiety tornado. While I still have anxiety it’s being handled decently right now. My social anxiety is another issue, but luckily I don’t have a ton of groups I have to be with. And dbf is starting to realize how bad my anxiety really is I think, which is awesome. 

I’ve started back at yoga once a week at my gym. It was so wonderful for me during my final part of college and it’s great to be back at it again. I wish it was more than once a week, but at least it’s once a week. I’ve been going to the gym again too. It feels good to get back to it. It helps with the anxiety and makes you feel good too. I took up puzzles for a while when my anxiety was at it’s low point. I found disney puzzles by Thomas Kinkade and I’m on my third one now. I don’t have the need to do them like I did, but it helps visually seeing the pieces fit together and work out. 

DBF and I had our first “fight”. Which is the easiest thing to call it I guess, the details aren’t important, what is important is that I believe God hit me where it counted because I was straying a little too far away from him. Since then I’ve been reading my bible every day and leaning more on him. I’m positive that’s why we had the “fight” because since I’ve been leaning on him things have been going well and we’ve been pretty happy. He will do what it takes to get your attention, so give it to him haha. 

Other than that I’ve been looking for a job and taking it easy/enjoying my time off. Keep me in your prayers because I need a job, but not desperately yet. I’ve gotten a good deal of graduation presents/money and my birthday is coming up, but it’s always at the back of my mind. 

Of course sometimes you need to treat yourself so I ordered some cute pencils, a little plush dumpling, and a surprise inside rilakkuma bath bomb from Modes4u(www.modes4u.com) and a Diamond Candle (honeysuckle scented - I haven’t gotten to the ring yet though). Gotta keep your cute up every once in a while after all. 

I’ve started working on crochet christmas presents already. It’s never too early to start em haha. I’m also working more on my blanket again, but it’s still got a long way to go.

So that’s a little update with me. A lot going on, but I’ve already written too much. I hope you all are doing well and I hope to hear from you all soon ^w^ keep up the good artwork and have fun this summer!
