     Hey, y'all! Sorry for the whack ass blog schedule. I was visted my sister last week, and my flights got delayed both ways. Getting to my sister was the WORST! Somehow, every flight in my route (my first flight, my original connection, AND the rebooking of that connection) got delayed. I ended up arriving 8 hours after I was supposed to and all they gave me to compensate was a pair of $12 meal vouchers. In the end, one of them didn't even work. American Airlines has literally been around for a century, you'd think they'd have their shit a little bit more together. Anyway, the trip was fun but I am definitely glad to be home. My blog posts should be regular again starting this upcoming Sunday. I also quite a few things that I'm excited to share, but I'm too tired from flying to write it all and download all the images right now. So, that will have to come next time. Bye for now!

      Does anyone else hoard hobbies? As in like, constantly bouncing between different pastimes and just wanting to do everything. Obviously I like drawing and sewing and such, but I also like:  Collecting physical media (Records, CDs, Cassettes, DVDs, Zines... all of it, really)  Making homemade recycled paper Baking/Cooking Making jewelry  and these are just the ones I do right now. I've also been considering getting into wig making. I think my constant need to do different hobbies comes from me never really being able to do stuff when I was younger. My parents didn't necessarily forbid me from doing anything, but our family's lifestyle did make it quite hard to enjoy anything consistently. We were always moving, which made it hard to keep hobbies. My parents also constantly complained about my hobbies being too messy, too expensive, too time consuming, etc... This has pretty much made me do all the hobby hopping you'd usually do as a child much later in...

     Things are not going well. My grandma's Parkinsons has progressed pretty far, they don't even give her two full weeks. This feels like such a strange thing to shout into the digital void for a random number of strangers to read, but I don't really have anyone else. I didn't really spend a lot of time with her, so we aren't really that close. It's just a lot to have all this in your face like this. I just hope that she goes swiftly and without pain. That's about all I have right now. School's going fine, but there's not too much interesting stuff to share currently. Bye for now...

 This week has lowkey been rough as shit. I don't wanna trauma dump, so we're not gonna get into it. Anyway, here's an upcycled top I made for my Sustainable Fashion class. It's very jank because I'm still kinda new to all of this, and I haven't fully sewn it together. I think the vision is there, though.       I wish I had anything actually interesting to share this week, but it's mostly just been the same old shit. I'm going to visit my sister soon, which is kinda fun...but that's about it.I'll be sure to share anything interesting that happens during my trip.        Anyway, I need to go clean some shit. Bye for now!
