Hello my Friends π
Last week was a doozy. So no update from then, oops my bad. But we have an update now π
I have glasses now! Shoutout my optometrist, I love my glasses and got them in a fun purple red color. The shape is a bit different I think from my past frames, so I have to ask J if this was the move or not. I also got my first Pap at the grand age of 25. I feel like it was made to be scarier than it actually was? Or maybe I am super beast mode. I asked about my labs for a follow up and she said to schedule it. Then she called me right after and said actually SCRATCH that, we need a ultrasound so please do that first. I immediately went back to my lab results and I was trying to see what is making it so urgent. I checked, and hmm okay these are the only levels that were in red, so I needed a less than 9 value on this… oh, I scored a 9.4? Why were they so adamant? wait a second. A 94?!?!
So yeah! Blessings upon my insurance, she is putting in the WORK right now, lord knows how much this would be without it ;-;
I also went outside quite a bit this past week! Monday we had some Panera with Isabel and Jed, we are planning a trip to Oregon so trying to get everyone’s schedule is proving to be troublesome. Thursday, I had some not-so-happy-hour drinks at Hudson House with Christian and Campbell, happy hour was bar only, and we gossiped our way through some apps and yummy lemon drops. I discovered who Chanty Beluga is and we talked about how much we enjoy our current jobs and Campbell is going to be driven to poverty because her dog Danie eats everything. Friday, David and I went to Corpus to celebrate his dads bday! Happy 50th to him! We hung out with our lovely friend Juliana, who challenged us bravely (and lost) in Mario Kart and Wii sports. We brought a chocolate cake with ’67’ candles on it and some flowers to celebrate her move into a new apartment. And the birthday party was fun! They surprised his dad with a mariachi and some partygoers made fun deals with our bartenders. We chatted with his family about our plans and trips we have in mind, and left with promises to come back soon.
This upcoming week I have my ultrasound, a concert with J, and hangout HOPEFULLY Friday, if people are still down!
September is going to be a bit busy, and so is October. But y’all will know, probably, maybe, sometime soon.
In between, I really need to sit down and make some more decorations for the Halloween party, more focus on the background and ambiance for the apartment and using my Tetris skills to magically make more room for people and things. Going to not try and flag my evil FBI agent when I start researching torture tools and medical malpractice cases and a standing list of current insurance/medical CEOS. I’ll try and remember to add some photos on here of my progress and things in general. My B12 shot isn’t doing shit for my memory, haha.
Okay, bye now!

Hello my friends π
I FIGURED IT OUT. I had a minor issue with me only reviewing the music I like and thus only giving the highest reviews. And a secret problem only known by me, of the formatting of it all.
The Solution: I review all the physical music media I have!
I have so many albums in record form and CD form. Most of which I have inherited from my grandfather and nabbed from my parents. Most of which are compilations and from the early (?) 50s and in range of genres. I need to eventually organize these and clean them, but with my schedule as it is, hard to do…..
The Secret Problem Solution: Keep it impersonal, somewhat, maybe!
I realized with my other reviews, two- count them TWO, that I tend to ramble and talk about the things I like so much from certain songs, but don’t really focus on keeping it cut throat. I also tend to try and talk about the themes of the album, but I don’t really care about that with a few exceptions, so from now on my format is gonna be more direct.
I am not going to take any suggestions as I realize that’s probably an easy way to argue with people, and I mainly don’t want to yuck someone’s yum and they take it personal.
Now I think I am going to review Music on Saturdays. Maybe, hopefully, sometime soon…..
Anyways, bye! Take care!β

Hello my friends π
Oh my gort, I was supposed to update this Monday, and then I delayed it to Tuesday and I swore I would do it Wednesday. But genuinely, this week is amongst the worst I have ever remembered. Not that I remember much past today, or this week. I hope these B12 shots save my memory.
This week continued a saga of my mom giving her private information over the phone to people she doesn’t remember talking to, my best friend having an allergic reaction and thinking they got drunk off Buldak Ramen, and a five hundred and twenty-five DOLLAR lab to see if my genes got some cancer in them. I also had to go back to my pharmacy and ask for my stuff, syringes and needles please, so I can stick myself with my B12. And my D2 supplement the size of a ROCK.
God bless my doctor. I keep forgetting to mention stuff to her, about me maybe being allergic to sunlight, (I think I am turning into a vampire), how bad my allergies are, and how do I become not lactose intolerant because she said to make sure I drink lots of it. I wake up with my allergies FULL BLAST and sound like an undead, how my boyfriend loves me is a MYSTERY, possible enthrallment (furthering the vampire conspiracy). Speaking of my lovely, he is leaving this weekend to hang with some friends at Canyon Lake, I think a Bachelor/Bachelorette party, awesome! Which means I get to try to make Rupert my familiar, converting her to the dark side. My mom is also coming over to have a sleepoverrr~ which mainly means we eat popcorn and do crafts for our Halloween Party. Invites should go out this weekend, David is handing his over to his friends and I am going to mail some out to our long-distance pals.
I missed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of updating because life is just beating me up. No K.O. just straight hands. I got a little extra added to my workload, another doctors case, and I have to sometimes backpedal to double check previous work and everyone is deciding to switch their insurance AFTER their out-of-pocket is met, and in the middle of all their treatments. On the upside, my favorite nurse brought me some hot chips, Reeses Oreos, and another chip bag. Love them down, but it’s right as I decided I need to be healthy.
Soooooo…. its going right in the pantry for my period upcoming, or for David to devour. I should probably get back to what I need to do, I started typing as soon as I got on hold with insurance. I think I am gonna start writing notes about insurance and things to look out for. I need to remember that I should change Ruperts insurance to something else…. if I remember. Let’s hope!
Wordle/Connections update – I am going against my coworker everyday on these, I think we are tied right now for points. soon my time comes…..

Hello my friends π
I realize that any reviews I do will all be high because I think that music I like are genuinely the best, so until y’all give me some recs, I fear all of my future reviews are all going to be 4s or 5s. Sooo…. please give me some π

Hello my friends π
I missed my checkin yesterday, so sorry about that. This week has been a doozy, I’m currently trying to get ahead at work since they’re giving me another doctors caseload, they previously had me with only one since I was ‘new’. So actually looking forward to that, as previously I was doing other tedious things to not sit at my desk on my phone.
Other than work, David and I don’t have too much planned. We have the visit to Corpus for his dads birthday coming up, yaaay! Trying to workshop a gift is horrible though, I think we may do something homemade and sentimental – Davids family is delightfully emotional, though sometimes it does make me feel weird. I’ve gone over there multiple times and I am like oh gosh, is this how some family’s are? My family is pretty private and we all usually run around solo.
Anyways, other than that I have some doctors appointments going on. One gastro and another visit with my PCP to review my lab results. Gods, the influx of paperwork made me buy a desk to store it- pen pals, apartments notes, insurance notes, clinical notes and soon travel/concert notes. We are also planning a Halloween party! Very fun but also super draining trying to get everything perfect or how we want it. Okay but news to me, Home Goods is EVIL! We bought three pieces for our dining table and it was damn near $80. EIGHTY BIG ONE FOR THREE PIECES OF FABRIC. Everything else, I will make myself at this point, because goddamn. But for our theme it will be worth it, I genuinely love hosting and David loves a good theme, sooo all systems are a go!But I am going to work on some things for the Halloween party now, but I wanted to update and let y’all know. See ya next week!

Hello my friends π
I have not updated this in a bit and want to really focus in on updating/doing more in life and on this site.Since last time, quite a bit has happened!
My boyfriend and I had our apartment-warming party and it was fun!! We served: bacon-wrapped pineapple, spam musubi, and chicken kabobs. Earth below, I was cooking from 10am up until the party trying to figure out how I wanted things to look and taste. Bless my best friend Jay for helping me with EVERYTHING. David was sentenced to video games while we sorted everything out. I also had some yummy fruit ready too; kiwi, pina, mango, and so much watermelon all served with chamoy and tajin.David also turned out to be a pretty awesome bartender, we had on our limited drink menu three truly yummy drinks. A Malibu Bay Breeze, a Blue Hawaiian, and a Creamy Coconut Margarita.
Clean up was minimal due to my lovely friends sneakily doing dishes and taking out the trash.
Currently thinking about throwing a Halloween party…….
After that weekend, we haven’t done much really. We have been here a little over a month and we have most things settled, a relief honestly.
I am locking in a bit more about my overall health. Saw a PCP for the first time in like, 3-4 years. She did some labs, wants me to do some genetic testing, a couple of preventative exams and mayhaps a sleep study.
It was good though, Dr. H was super kind and easy to talk to. Very millennial but aware, and very caring. Gonna set David up to see her too, once I get him on my insurance. With that urge to get serious about my health, I have to go to the gym regularly soon. AND eat healthy. Urghh, not fun at all, but wanting to live easier and better is.
I’ve also deleted my instagram, tiktok, and facebook from my phone. In an effort to limit my screen time on my phone, as I frequently go on there to just do nothing. I will add them to my iPad since I have streaks I must maintain, for friendship AND love.
Other than that, nothing much going on as I said. A brief trip in August to see Davids family. We have some concerts lined up for September and October.
It’s honestly crazy how much a year can change things. This time last year I was content, alone and just going through the motions. Now I’m happy, in love, and trying to grow and build a future.
Anways, thats my check-in, I am hoping to update this at least weekly if not multiple times a week. Sky above, if I do not update this next week, yell at me.β

Hello my friends π
I think this is the album that is going to follow me for the rest of my life. It’s seen me at my highest and lowest. And through it all the album has held. It has survived all of my genre swaps, and purging of my liked songs on Spotify.
And it was recommended to me by an old friend, and anytime I listen to this album I think back to he and I at the time. It was simpler then.
Beyond my own emotions and past attached to it, ‘Emotions’ is so nostalgic. It switches in tempo several times, swinging from something out of an coming of age movie to a dreamy soft melodic tune. The album art does give Bill Wurtz vibe, a sunset version of it. The orange and pinks match the time and sound it holds.
I did actually get to watch a livestream of the band coming back to perform their album live at Tourist Trap back in 2023. I was so ecstatic about it and they mentioned having made more music, teasing releases. I haven’t seen anything since them from then, though I’m not looking so hard to be fair.
My favorites of the album have to be Distractions and Within (You).To me, the Distractions is about loss through ‘the way things go’ or just getting distracted.
“Like sugar and rain
Oh, I wanted you to stay, sometimes
But things never change, do they?
Or do they change without notice?“
And wishing what you lost knew you loved them, but still being held back, with things moving like a blur.
”Β I wish you knew what I know
Distractions, distractions
I’m full of distractions, distractions“
I tie this song with an old friendship I had, where we drifted apart. We said we would do it all together, her and I versus the world. Big dreams and all, intertwined. This song reminds me of the loss of it but also the importance of letting it go. I wanted her to stay, but stopped being a reason to stay, change happens and life distracts. We keep moving forward. I am happy and so is she.
For Within (You), it gives the vibes of chasing someone who wants to leave, has tried to but came back. Being bitter about the hurt and realizing they are not the same as they left. Being confused because you dont know what has changed. You tried to keep them, caught them before they left but its different now.
“Ooo What, oh what –
What’s going on with you?”
I love the orange juice line. Anyways, it feels like with their partner changed, the area itself feels unfamiliar and the singer doesn’t know what to do. Feeling alone and seeing people you don’t know recognize something, in someone you thought you knew; or seeing someone you know act different because of the people around or the setting.
“And hey, how long’d you stay
The last time you came around?
An hour- donβ²t make me wait
I’ll get bored and then Iβ²ll get out
Out of this place, I feel alone
And nobody knows the real truth
Oh where the hell is my orange juice?
It calms me down when I’m awake
So let’s refrain, make no mistakes“
The last bits being the singer reaffirming that the person has changed into something unknown that their own vibes don’t know how to feel or don’t fit anymore with what they’re doing.
“I’m not cool with your aura
And your vibes arenβ²t even sure of how to feel
When they’re with you“
I genuinely love this album and I hope Wild Painting releases something soon. My delusions will live on. I need to order a physical or burn one soon. I can’t rely on Spotify forever. -
Hello my friends π
My main goal in sharing and documenting is to hold onto my memories and see how I change over time. I am also afraid of memory loss (beyond what I have going on) and kinda suck at constant communication with my friends.
So I want to have an ongoing melting pot of my interests. All of my movie, music, food, trends, and life opinions in one spot. This is kind of like a public journal for me at this point. One my friends and strangers can peek in on.β
