Weekly Update; A Day Late

Sorry, I did not update yesterday, I don't know why I didn't.

The past week has been up and down, feet hurting and just working in between my free time. I have today off from one job which is great and I was able to stream all weekend too! It may have been only a few hours or more but I am happy I streamed.

Today's stream, I started a new project and love it! Streamed for 3 hours and had fun even if no one was watching. I had music playing and that made it better.

I am ready for a nap at the moment.

So for the past week, work has been good. I also have been trying to cope with my emotions and not sure why I had down moments. Sometimes it would just hit me and I had no energy to do anything. I wanted to cry at times for no reason and even though this was happening, I tried to figure out why I wanted to cry.

I still have not figured out why I want to cry, it's a work in progress.

On a good note, I have been happier and been more positive. This is good because I realized the other day how bitchy I had been for quite some time and it was like "have I really been like this?"

It's crazy to think how negative I was and it took one person to tell me and now I see what they mean. Since not talking to this person I have been working on myself, going to therapy and doing much better.

Will I ever talk tot he person again? I am not sure, if I do talk to them I will say thank you because it helped me get on a better path.

Not much else is new with me, just working and paying bills. I bought my ticket for Stitches United next month which is a yarn convention and I am looking forward to it. I will have to see if anyone else is going to this event from the crafting community and maybe do a meetup.

Well, going to work on a new knitting project and maybe watch a movie, Twitch is acting up for me so a movie or Netflix will do.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and my life adventures. See you, folks, on Sunday :)

Happy Sunday Morning!

Hello and Happy Sunday Morning!

The weekend is almost over but it has been a great weekend for me. I hope all of you are doing well wherever you are in the world and that life is going well too.

The week has gone by fast but I love when it's Wednesday and then Friday comes along, I have said this before and I will say it again, I love FRIDAY!!!! Never have I ever looked more forward to Friday until this new job.

Now to update my fun week. Work went well, a little stressful but any job can be stressful. This new job is still going well and I am happy to be there. It's rough getting up in the morning but worth it. Also, I can sign up for benefits soon with this job and I have a 3day weekend coming up this awesome month!!!

I signed up for Sock Madness online on Ravelry. It's my first year and hopefully, I can knit a pair of socks and see how far I get in the competition. I may not get far and that is ok because I just want to knit a pair of socks. I ordered the knitting needles and may need a bigger loop needle so I may order that too once I am done writing this.

Things, in general, have been good outside of work too and I did my first 5k race of 2020 in 22-degree weather! I felt great after the race and it was for charity too. Its the Red Cap Run and there is an option for walkers. I bought merchandise which also helps the funds raised for the family.









I am proud of myself for going out in cold weather and walking 3.1 miles and I'm happy to help raise money for a family in need.

I did want to see my friend over the weekend but decided to take the weekend and just relax. I love my friend and we can always hang out another time. I knew I was going to be tired yesterday and sometimes taking time for yourself is a needed thing. I need "me time" which is this weekend.

Lately, I have noticed that I watch a lot of streamers a lot, this may not be good for me and I need time for myself so I am taking a step back from watching streamers because if I don't it's not good for me.

I love watching and supporting people who stream but maybe it's affecting me in a bad way lately so it may be time to step back and lurk or just watch when I am feeling good. It is interesting how things affect me but good that I notice and still doing therapy.

Also, I have been feeling good and spreading positivity (I hope), I am working on me and loving me so its a long road.

I think that is all I have, for now, not much else going on in my life. Things are good at the moment and I am happy. Maybe Sushi and I can go see a movie next weekend.....hmmm?

So we have come to the end of the post, I will edit to include a few photos from the 5k walk.

Have a great day wherever you are and thank you for reading my post.

It's Super Bowl!!

Hell and Happy Sunday!!! and happy Super Bowl Sunday!!!!

A lot has happened in the week, I have. made bad decisions and good decisions. I made my bed and I need to accept what happened that was made on bad decisions.

The good decision I made was to enter therapy, I was a hot mess this past week and I need help in some way so I decided to start therapy and learn to love myself, stop comparing myself to others and I want to be more positive.

After talking to a therapist, I feel a lot better and have come to terms with the bad decisions I made. I am doing much better now and I have a long road ahead of me. It may take a while and I am willing to put the work in.

Let's see what else..... Work is still going great and Friday was non stop but fun and I now look forward to Fridays which has not happened in a long time! I love it when it's Wednesday and then Friday comes along and I am excited for the weekend. I may not make plans or anything but I love to relax.

I still stream my knitting but sticking to just Saturdays which works best for me and I had a long stream yesterday and I had so much fun! I got a raid at the same time I hosted someone. It's all good but I am happy and the stream was fun and that is all that matters.

This weekend I have been relaxing, knitting and watching movies I rented off of iTunes. I watched Batman V Superman last night and stayed up till rare midnight but the movie was sooooo good! I will have to buy it maybe this coming week.

Another decision I made was to wait on getting a Nintendo Switch. I have the money set aside for it but with everything that happened, I think it's best to wait. The rest of my goals have been going great so far and that is good.

You can always change goals or how long you want to work on a goal, I don't need a switch right now so I put it on the long term goal list for now.

I forgot to cancel my sncakcrate and got that in the mail. I really need to look at finances and see what I can cut back on. Snack crate may go even though I love getting it. I got Ireland this month and will bring it with me to a friend's house tonight when I go over fo Super Bowl.

So in the US, we have Super Bowl Sunday which is today, I was invited out and I will be going to a party. I haven't spent time with people in a long time and that may be part of my problem, not seeing friends. So tonight I get to spend time with people and I need to get out more.

I rarely watch football but it's fun to be around good people.

I think that is it, been having some anxiety but finding ways to keep it at a minimum plus letting go of stuff. It's not easy but things are getting better.

Alright, I need to do laundry and eventually, get ready for tonight, have a safe and happy Sunday everyone! Thanks for reading.
