So D&D on Wednesday was good! Sorry for the delay in the update on that (I know a few of you have been asking in DMs, and I haven't had a chance to reply yet!)
We played for a good amount of time, and in true D&D fashion, my players COMPLETELY side-tracked their plans and took the campaign a little off the rails -- starting a fight with the mayor of the town they live in!! (to be fair: she is an evil bitch, but that's beside the point 🤣) It was fun jumping back into things and needing to think on my feet to run that combat. In the end she used Dimension Door to escape when they called for backup - so there will be a future encounter with her...and I'm sure she'll being backup too! It shall be fun!
Anyway, just wanted to drop a little update for y'all on that. I did well, though it took a lot out of me and I slept most of yesterday! That being said, I am looking forward to our next game, which is next Thursday.
Health wise - I'm getting more and more recovered as each day goes by. I'm really hoping to be able to stream and cosplay and bodypaint soon. I miss is SO DAMN MUCH!! Keep your fingers crossed for me, k? xox
I'm putting in maximum effort to get better and back to normal! Man, I do love Deadpool! Ryan Reynolds really brought that role to life, I can't imagine any other actor portraying him and doing even half as good a job as he did!
Good Wednesday morning! I'm attempting to run our D&D game today for the first time in over a month. It might not be a long game, but *any* game will be a good game. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
It's Mario Monday!
Health Update: So I'm not bedridden anymore, but I'm still in a lot of pain. I can do small tasks like the dishes but once I'm finished I'm SO exhausted. It's really been a slow recovery and I hate it. I just want to go back to normal already.... well, whatever normal was for me before this, that is! :D
Lady Bowser for this fine Friday morning. This whole past month is mostly a blur, and I hate that, but not much else to do except keep moving forward. I'm finally able to sit at my desk for longer periods of time, so I'm getting back to working on some of the cosplay components for Junko Enoshima. I'll try to take some progress photos soon once I have something to show! :)
Well, THAT was not how I saw September going, but here we are! I am happy that Halloween is fast approaching and I hope I can recover enough to do LOTS of fun cosplay for you guys soon, including Junko Enoshima and the Shiklah bodypaint, but tons more too. I hate the shape my body is in right now: I'm not as slender as I'd like to be because of this sickness/challenging recovery, but I need to get back into things whether I'm in tip top shape or not because otherwise I'll be out on my ass and that wont help anyone lol
Anyway, to finish off September and get in the right mindset for October, here's a past halloween costume where I dressed as Harambe. That was a wild night, if you weren't there, let me tell you! 😁
ALSO: if you could see me in ANY cosplay regardless of cost or availability, what would it be? 🤔
Question: Are you looking forward to christmas? A friend of mine said he was looking forward to christmas music and I wondered how many others are looking forward to christmas for one reason or another.
Tentacles and Titties for Today!
Health Update: (skip this part if you wish to not hear about my health troubles)
I'm really having a rough time, and I'm concerned I need to get further medical attention. Recovery is frustrating AF (and expensive! lol) I'm doing my best and doing all the things I can to get healthy, but sometimes things just don't go my way. Anyway, as I've said before, I'm not giving up, but I feel just absolutely AWFUL that I'm not better and making new content for you guys yet. I don't want to get into details but I'm super uncomfortable and bloated and in pain, even if I wasn't in pain, my body has taken a toll and doesn't look the way I'd like it to. I don't fit into my clothes right now, it's terrible. I'll get back to where I was, but right now health is taking priority over diet. It sucks.
Sorry for the negative update, but quite a few of you keep asking how I'm feeling, and I haven't responded to those questions because it makes me feel bad to not be feeling better than I am. Anyway, That's the update for now. I'm taking care of myself and will do everything in my power and budget to get healthy as soon as I realistically can. I'm not giving up. That is all ❤️❤️
Well, it's Sunday! We made it through another week and it's time to start a new one. Here's to the start to a great week with progress and goal achievement and feeling better and all good things! 🥂
Had another rough night last night. Feels like I just took two steps back in my recovery, but it is what it is. I'm taking it extra easy and am back on the soup/smoothie diet for a few days while this clears up. No fun, but hey, I'm STILL not giving up. Happy Caturday!
⚠️ Health/emotional update.
Skip this post if thats not your thing. 👍

Had a bit of a setback this evening. It's really frustrating & I just want to be better already. I for real just had a breakdown and cried in Chiquita's arms because I'm so frustrated. My roommates have both been so helpful and understanding while I've been going through this, I don't think I could have gotten this far without them. Told them both how much I appreciate them. I know I'm not dying but this infection sprung up pretty quickly, hit hard, and I came surprisingly close. Don't worry, I *am* on the mend, it's just slow to get back to normal after something like this.
I'm feeling a bittersweet feeling of frustration but also appreciation. Anyway, just wanted to share that. Tell the people you care about how you feel. It's important. ❤❤
Scotty, beam me up!
This was back when I filmed my video 'the captain's quarters' :)
Happy Sunday!
(health update: still recovering, still not able to do much, but getting better a tiny bit every day. It's frustrating, but at least it's forward momentum)
I'm usually surprised to notice it's Friday - but honestly, all the days blur together right now. I'm doing my best to get better! I tried sitting up and playing some video games yesterday but after an hour of that I couldn't do anything else. So yeah, sitting at my desk playing video games is still too much for me - to give you an idea of where I am in my recovery. It sucks, but it is what it is. 🙃
Some good ol' Thor's Day photos for you today! I'm able to stay sitting up more now, and with the antibiotics done, the hives are starting to go away a little, but I still have a ways to go. I really want to skip ahead to the healthy part, but this isn't something I can rush. I have made it to half way through season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I've been re-watching in my convalescence. It's such a dopey show but I love it!
Smol update: I made it to the post office today. It was an utterly exhausting trip (yes, just going to the post office is exhausting right now 😅 Heck, sitting up for longer than a couple of hours at a time is exhausting!) and while I don't have the energy to take photos and write to those of you who sent gifts right now, BUT I will in the next day or two. I just wanted to say thank you for your generosity and for helping to bring some brightness to my day and make my birthday special. Thank you ❤️❤️
Some Throwback Tardis Tuesday shots for you today. I wasn't able to get to the post office yesterday since by the time I was done with the doctor's office the post office was closed. I am looking forward to opening up the surprises you guys have sent though, so hopefully I can try to get there today or tomorrow.
No exciting news from the health side of things, except I was given the all clear to stop the antibiotics, but I need to have further tests once my body recovers. I am still on ordered bed/sofa rest for a while though which SUCKS. The foods I can safely eat are making me bloated and uncomfortable, and I don't fit into my 'normal' clothes right now, it's depressing. (BUT... I know this is temporary, it just sucks being in the 'thick' of it right now)
Anyway, doing my best to stay positive, taking care of myself and keeping you guys updated. Love you guys so much, thank you for your patience while I'm being a patient. ❤️
I'm off to the doctor's this afternoon. It's hard to assess how I'm feeling since the combo of antibiotics + benadryl really runs you down. Hopefully I get some good news today and can finally start to see some upward momentum in my energy levels and activity. Being in bed all the time really sucks. (though I also spend lots of time on the sofa too, I have been changing it up a little!)
