Today is going to be a great day~!

OHAI MARK (& the others!)!

I am sorry it has been so long. :( Some stuff has happened, partly not really GOOD stuff, but I am trying my best to deal with it. I hope everybody is okay, though! I really do.

Apart from soul-searching and going to doctors and hospitals, I didn't really feel like updating here a lot. Sorry to bore you with this; it is nothing personal, though. I guess it was just hard for me to write in here (publically), too. I have finished some paintings and drawings when in hospital, though. Also started writing new songs, whoo. Kai, the epic guitar of epicness that also entered my dreamworld yesterday or so (I dreamed of getting my other guitar repaired...), hasn't been mad at me and performed well enough for my ears.

Maybe I can show you those works soon. :) And I want to work out another 101/1001 list for myself, to be entirely honest. I know this idea is stolen (Kei, I am really sorry for this :(...!), but I feel it could help me get out of the boredom and such. I will let you know in time...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (A tiny bit late, but still ...)

Hel-di-lo everybody!

How have you all been? While you have been busy doing whatever was on your mind & most likely being productive beyond my own imagination, I have been a lazy bum and didn*t do much. I played the guitar every now and then, figured out how to play parts of "Jingle Bells" on my own for Crizzlemas, & all in all have not been a really good person. Part of this is to be blamed on my depressive side coming in and saying HELLO! every now and then. But I am trying to shake it off.

I know not many people over here are regular readers, but if you have stayed with me no matter what, I*d like to thank you deeply, sincerely. I hope everybody got into the new year with a lot of fun and joy attached to it, and that you don*t have any headaches (I did have headaches for several days in a row now & it turns out I am not really at my best health right now anyways, so ... Yeah. :( *complains*).

I want to get more active over here, too. After all, I love this blog so much so why should I deny updating it? :P As for this year, I didn*t make many resolutions, but those I did make (There are two), I hope I will get to work on a LOT :). One is health-related and the other one is career-related ^^.

Thank you for reading. ^.^ BYE!! :)

RSLB, home improvement and bad news.

Hello.

I haven*t been around much and I am sorry for this. However, I wanted to tell you some things that have been going on in my life/our lives lately.

One of our cats got very ill, and after several days he spent at the vet and his feet all being paralysed in the end and him being in pain, he was put to sleep. The doctor said it is possible that he had a meningitis or maybe a moving thrombus, but either way it was really painful for him ... He was 12 years old when he went over the rainbowbridge and has been my feline companion ever since he was three months old. I miss him a lot ... I am not crying that much anymore, but this doesn*t mean he isn*t missing. Everything reminds me of him. But somehow my own belief is giving me strength - which I won*t go into detail with now, because belief is something very personal and I respect that others may not have the same ideas of the afterlife as I do.

Then, we did a lot of DIY work at home. Lots of work like building up furniture again and painting walls. I didn*t do much of all that, though, but I am still kind of pleased with the results, plus the colour in the kitchen is really lovely and warm.

And I am working on a scrapbook-kind of project. Maybe you have heard from Gala Darling before; she is one of my favourite bloggers :). She also is the one innitiating the Radical Self-Love movement, and also came up with the idea to start a Radical Self-Love Bible, which is the project I am working on. The only downside I have come across thus far is that I used too much glue and the sides are stuck together now? I will maybe remove them and tear them apart again, and then "glue" them in with some kind of poster strips. Sounds like a better idea to me? Or maybe glue stick instead ... :\ I loved the work on it so far, though. :)

For those interested, here*s a link to the Radical Self-Love movement and several texts on that subject for that matter ^^ : *Clickedy Click*.
