Hello and stuff

[dicreasy2]

So, this is the car I was sat behind in traffic today:





I've decided that Pen needs a big version of that poster on her wall.

Anyway, hello.  I'm taking a break from the Sims at the moment.  I've not (really) played or made any cc for a couple of weeks and have only poked at my story very listlessly.  I did take some pics to use for previews of my riding habits and hats, but haven't got round to making the previews or posting them.  I don't know when I will, and I also don't know when I'll feel like simming again.  The next few chapters of my story involve me having to get inside the head of a deeply disturbed and mentally unstable character, and I really don't have the strength for that at the moment, so it is on hold.  I've also not felt like playing much, even though I would like to have Bertie's children born this year.  I did play a little bit of Sarah Jane at the acadamie at the weekend, but soon had to quit because I didn't feel like playing.  I'm hoping I'll feel like playing in a week or so.  I do, however, want to keep working on myshuno drabbles, as I want to get a blackout this year (it'll be one thing I can feel good about, and I need stuff to feel good about at the moment), so they will still be appearing here, including one tonight.

What I've been playing instead, are various rpgs (finally finished DA Awakening, played more of DAII, started Fallout: New Vegas) Tales of Monkey Island (for the fourth time I think it is) and minecraft.  I've been really enjoying it, and although I know I will go back to my simmies eventually, because I can't ever stay away for long, it's nice to play other games and enjoy them.

Health-wise, I've been a bit better and a bit worse.  I was really well two weeks ago, not so well last week, and then had an horrendous weekend.  Yesterday I was a bit better, and I've been feeling a lot better today, so I'm hoping that I'm turning the corner, and that I won't end up back down the doctor's with it.  I've also decided to look at my diet to see of that is a factor. 

Other highlights in my life recently, include my uncle being very sick and my brother being in a minor car accident yesterday.  Basically, the car in front of my brother stopped.  My brother stopped.  The car behind him didn't.  It wasn't his fault, he's ok apart from a stiff neck. but because of the age of his car, it will probably be written off, and he can't afford to buy a new one.  Joy. 

Some good news though, I got an exciting parcel in the post this morning, but I think I'm going to talk about that in a separate post so that those who aren't interested can skip it.

And basically that's it.  My story is on a temporary hiatus until I feel like I can work on it again.  I'm still not great health-wise.  Life kinda sucks at the moment.  I won't be around much because of the above, but I will try to pop up every so often, even if it's just to post a myshuno drabble.

OMG THAT POSTER! So I might have just run an internet search and I might have discovered a whole fabric with "keep calm and sew/quilt/pin/etc" on it. And I might have just bought a bunch of it... Because I at least need a pillow that says that dang it! I love it!

Sorry you aren't feeling like simming but at least you want to write! Yay for playing other things and I do hope you get to feeling better permanently.

Glad your brother is okay! That's always scary.

*hugs*

:D I thought of you as soon as I saw it. Finding fabric of it is really awesome and better than a poster really.

I really would like to get a blackout this year, and I have ideas for most the rest of the prompts it's just sitting down and writing them I'm finding more difficult at the moment.

Yeah, he seems fine. It's just annoying about his car.

Thanks. *hugs*

<333333333333333 I really, really hope things start to look up soon. Also, agreed, probably best to stay away from deeply disturbed people when you are feeling low. D: Much love and happy thoughts to you!

P.S. Pen told me about the poster (and her fabric) and now I need both. I don't even really quilt! XD

Thanks. <33333. I've had a pain and discomfort-free day today, so I'm really hoping that I've turned a corner and that whatever is wrong is now under control or getting better. I'm going to keep off the white bread and refined carbs to see if that helps too.

Yeah I just can't go to that place at the moment. Not only for my own well being, but also because I can't do my story justice if I try to go there while I'm not strong enough.

Thank you lovey, I appreciate it.

Hehehe. If it had been about sewing, then I would have definitely said that you need the poster too.

Sorry to hear about your health and the car accident. Glad your brother is okay, though! Hopefully things look up soon!

Also, breaks can be great sometimes - yay for other games! And probably it's for the best to stay away from disturbed characters and their heads when you're not feeling too good to start with.

I hope you'll feel permanently better soon!

Thank you. Yeah he's fine, but it's a pain that he's going to have to be looking for a new car, which he won't be able to afford without help.

They can. I've been having fun playing other games and giving myself permission not to fret about my story. Yes, I really am not strong enough at the moment to go where I need to go with this character. I'm hoping a break, and my health improving will allow me to get back to it sooner rather than later.

Thank you. I've had a pain and discomfort free day today, so I'm hoping things are starting to look up.

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going so great for you right now. I can certainly understand not wanting to delve into a dark mind when you're not feeling so perfect - dark people are hard enough to write/deal with when you're in a proper frame of mind.
