Howdy everyone! I\u2019d like to formally apologize for skipping out on a week of posts\u2026 again. I\u2019ve been up to a lot of stuff, like re-planning a project or two and doing some stuff for work at the literary magazine, but I\u2019ve also been struggling with thinking of just what to say for posts, and the need to apologize escalated and well\u2026 Here we are, with me trying to figure out what I\u2019m saying as I type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been feeling pretty stressed recently. My romantic relationship has felt like a struggle recently as my boyfriend has so many hours at work, his entire life is basically work then sleep and then work again. Not being able to talk to him much affects my mental health and stress levels, naturally- so that\u2019s one issue right there. I\u2019ve also been getting over a sinus infection most of the past month. I was put on heavy antibiotics earlier this month, and just finished taking them yesterday. My headaches have indeed been less frequent, but I\u2019ve still managed to get one or two really bad migraines this past week. I\u2019ve been loving my prescription sunglasses during those times, but they can only help so much- so I spent a lot of time curled up in bed, covering my head to avoid any excess light or noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite my issues this past week, I have managed to do a couple youtube videos. I actually have a backlog now for Wednesdays, because I did two last week that I haven\u2019t posted yet. I may redo them though, because one of them in particular was pretty bad quality even by my usual standards. (I was thinking of doing a \u2018what\u2019s in my makeup bag\u2019 one week since I really like makeup and I use it to plan characters sometimes, as weird as that may sound).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see, what else do I have to say\u2026 Oh! If you haven\u2019t been watching my youtube channel at all, you won\u2019t know this: I went to Mitsuwa, a Japanese market in my area, with a friend last Tuesday (I was exhausted after it, which is partially why Tuesday\u2019s post didn\u2019t happen). There\u2019s all sorts of stores by Mitsuwa from Japan, including a nice bookstore and a drug store, which we went to after lunch. I got a lot of neat things, but the thing I\u2019m happiest about buying is a physical copy of The Bride was a Boy by Chii. I absolutely love this manga and have read it more times than I can shake a stick at online, but having it physically in my hands is great, and I read it the day I got home while dad was borrowing my computer desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know what this manga is, it\u2019s an autobiographical sort of manga, about Chii\u2019s transition as a male-to-female transgender person. She explains everything from coming out to getting surgeries done, and gives great infographs at the end of chapters to explain proper term usage, laws, and other things. It\u2019s also her love story, as it follows her life from youth until she became a bride. Her husband was actually the one who got her to publish the comic as a book and not just as a comic blog, which is what it started as. It has adorable art and is just really heartwarming to read. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got some other neat things while I was out, like a couple of neat pens. You can see most of what I bought in the following youtube video I\u2019d made the next day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

I really don\u2019t have much else to tell you or update you on this past week\u2026 But this week is going to be pretty busy. Tomorrow I\u2019m going with my dad to get him some cardiology tests he needs to find out if he has the same heart defect I had until getting surgery a couple years ago. Thursday, I see my psychiatrist as well as my case manager, who I need to talk to about a number of doctor issues. I have no clue about the weekend. Luckily, I have ideas right now for blog posts, so I\u2019ll be writing some more today to have prepared for at least Thursday and Saturday if I\u2019m lucky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, sorry for the long delay! Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m still alive and kicking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
