What's Bothering You?

Been super sick for a week and a half. This morning it got to a point where I couldn’t keep even liquids from going straight through me and I was extremely dehydrated and am still super congested. I went to the ER cause I was feeling very dizzy and unwell this morning, my blood pressure and heart rate were really high. It’s some kind of viral thing they said. They treated me there and gave me a prescription to take too. Still feel pretty freaking bad but at least I’m able to drink liquids now. Hoping this clears up soon cause it’s been a miserable week and a half. My sister is also in the hospital now with noro virus.
 
Its genuinely terrifying when Trump makes a post about invading Canada to make it a state, and the comment section is agreeing, saying America needs to conquest.

What is happening to the world?

I agree it is terrifying. The fact that he also wants Greenland is also terrifying. I wish I knew what was happening with the world but we really need to leave others alone. They don’t want to be part of us.
 
Getting left on read mid-text conversation is always fun. Especially when they're just after saying that one of your friends is being texted by an adult with untoward intentions 🫥

Yeah, when the leader of a world superpower and his closest friends are writing stuff like this:

It's not even a matter of politics. That's uncomfortable to those who just want to get through each day peacefully without the world gong up in flames.

(I'll leave it at this. I don't want to flood the thread with these kinds of posts). I was just upset with how lightly the idea of invasion is being thrown around.
 
My doctor does not listen to my concerns about POTS. Like… erm. Thank you for trying to rule out other things before we get into anything else, that makes me happy; but… I’ve been complaining about almost every single freaking symptom of POTS for years with this doctor. I know my body better than anyone, because it is MINE.. But.. he just doesn’t get it 🫠

I just want to know what’s wrong with me. Although, I will say— the foot hurting issue, is because I apparently have ‘flexible flat feet’, and need orthotic insoles. However, he wants to do bloodwork for all these specific tests and stuff before we do anything else lmao. Rheumatoid arthritis, anemia, etc. Sigh.

I was originally content with my appointment overall; until I remembered something I had said to him. And his reply made me facepalm in the back of my head. I was complaining about how my blood pressure changes drastically whenever I transition from laying -> sitting. Sitting -> standing. When I sit up after laying down, it skyrockets. If I stand for too long without sitting, it plummets. His response? ‘Oh, I think that’s pretty normal.’ WHAT?

Anyways.. I just hope we’re getting somewhere. Remembering that part of our discussion made me feel very discouraged. He has blown off my sinus issues for several years, telling me it’s just allergies and that I’m fine. So.. idk. I’m just :’)
 
twitter is such a draining app these days. I opened it now only to find really bad takes and people posting their opinions with zero context even when asked by multiple people. I just go on the app to interact with some friends, gush about my favorite franchises, and share pretty fanart. Anyway lol I existed the app immediately after seeing so many bad opinions, people on there need to unclench their jaws 😭

that's literally a symptom of POTS lol, my mum lives with it and she can definitely feel a difference when she goes from sitting to standing, or standing to lying down. that's not normal at all. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
 
My dog has a cough. Working in the vet field, I know a cough can be due to a lot of things. However, considering his age and the fact I can easily rule out heartworms or viruses he can get from other dogs.... signs are starting to look like early-stage heart failure. I'm really hoping that's not the case. I plan to bring him to work soon. Diagnostics without meds alone is $400 with my employee discount 🙃 Whatever it takes to make my baby better....
Well....it's lung cancer.

Took him in today because he didn't eat dinner. The good news is, his heart's fine. We gave him an appetite stimulant and he ate 2 helpings of food and some cheese. If he keeps an appetite I can get him meds to keep him comfy until he decides it's time to leave us.

Cancer takes everything I love
 
You know guys, if there's one thing on why you don't see me often on TBT related events, it's because they're too heavy on the art/drawing/crafting department which is my weakness.
Except for if these scenarios are related to New Horizons, I'm fine with that. It's the things that require a more hands-on interaction.
  • I haven't really bothered with the arts and crafts growing up, as I always thought that was boring.
  • I get super embarrassed when drawing certain features to the drawing, and I think to myself that I'm going to hate the finished project when I'm done with it.
  • And about the crafting, I don't really come with the materials needed to do it. Not to mention that I never know what I'll need to do it, how I can get it done.
So yes, as much as I would love to have these new collectibles when they come, I fear that my lack of creativity is what's holding me back on getting a lot or in some cases, at all.
I was lucky enough to have the Farewell to New Leaf, Earth Week 2024, TBT World Championship 2024 and Mushroom Season to not require any arts and crafts to earn currency to buy the new collectibles, but that's only 4 of the events from last year as the rest required doing it to earn most of the currency at the very LEAST!

To add on, it's one of the very few excusable reasons why I'm not active on TBT as to when I used to. I feel like I have to participate in something that I don't like doing, even if it turns out good or bad, so I hide in the shadows until the event is over.
And even when the event is over, I'm still not active on the Forums since everything else seems to be more fun than I would like to admit.

Then again, my new year's resolution for 2025 is to try new things, even if I wouldn't like it, but this arts and crafts thing I think I can have a hard pass on.
