Now What?

Officially a week since Halloween.  We've had some nice cloudy, a little bit rainy and cooler weather lately.  I dig it, and wish it could be like this most of the time.

Thanksgiving is on the horizon and I still don't really have any plans.  Usually I cook and have people over, but I'm just not feeling it right now.  I wish someone would cook for me for once.  Boyfriend and I haven't really come up with any solid plans yet either.  Maybe I'll just stay home and make myself a vegan Thanksgiving because no one else is interested in that except me.

Speaking of vegan, I finally made another vegan video for my channel, a taste test video!!  I would like to do more later on, especially once I get the hang of it.  So if you are interested, here it is :)

I realize that most of my audience, the very small audience that I have, are not interested in vegan related issues, but I want to reach all kinds of people with all kinds of interests.  I'll figure out my niche with time.

My next video will probably definitely be either my Pagan books, or the one I need to make for the YouTube contest :-O

I think I've got about 95% of the Halloween stuff put away, and am working on fall stuff.  Just put up a little here and there.  Been cleaning and watching YouTube all day.  I have homework of course as well!  Honestly, I feel like sometimes I just can't keep up with all the little crap, AND have time to relax or be social and be normal.  I wish there were more hours in the day!

Ugh, especially with this time change crap!  Is this messing anyone else up?!  I literally get off work at 7, and just want to come home and get in bed because it's already so flipping dark!  I don't want to do anything, it's irritating.  I'm sure I'll get used to it soon....hopefully.

We went back to the arcade this week and I redeemed my tokens prize, but by no means did not use all of them!  I dunno who could use fifty dollars worth of tokens in one go.  I still had so many leftover from the last visit!  It's gonna take about three more visits, ha.

I played Elvira, some gambling games, skeeball, and one of our favorite team shooting games.

But yeah, it's rounding out to about 2PM so I better get back to being productive.  Thanks for reading!  Please check out my YouTube and Instagram for more interesting things.

Bye kittens :)

Halloweek + Walking Dead Trivia!

Ermahgerd, 1 day y'all.  Are you ready? I guess I kind of am, ha.

It is raining cats and dogs this morning, and I'm doing a load of laundry, kinda silly!  Hey, you do what you gotta do.  I have to wash all of my Halloween socks and shirts!  One of which I am wearing this evening with my last minute Chucky costume!  Lol.  I recently bought a pair of overalls, and realized I have a shirt that will work, then hopped over to Wal-Mart for some last minute essential accessories and voila!  I'm sort of the master of last minute costuming.

I realize my hair is quite a bit longer than the real Chucky, but really, it's the accessories that make the costume.  I'm excited.  Once I get off, going to trek through the rain home somehow and get started on my costume and head to the arcade with friends for the Halloween party and games!!  Woooo!

The only thing standing in my way is HOMEWORK.  Yuck.  Yeah, I totally forgot I have a test due by Sunday....I'm a master procrastinator and work well under pressure though.  Go me.

Oh, and Walking Dead trivia on Wednesday was A BLAST!  I took the reigns since none of my friends had ever been to a Geeks Who Drink Trivia quiz before!  Let alone a themed one!  I go on a semi-regular basis as my BFF is a quiz master for them, and she just so happened to host this months TWD themed quiz and I was soooooooo excited for her.  My teammates decided on Carol's Casseroles for our team name, LOL.  The other choices were Merle's Right Hand Man or Terminus Treats.  If you've ever seen the show, then you will get it....if not, then go watch them!

It was a super fun time, and we ended up tying for fourth with another team, which is pretty damn good.  Pretty proud of us.

Our team pic, and then one of Alyssa and me afterward.  I helped her with her makeup!  Everyone had great fucking costumes.  CORAL!!!!

Ahh, anyway, so that was a great night, but in health news, I was feeling better Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, but ran out of time to do any vlogging.  Managed to push out a crappy one yesterday morning.  But early yesterday morning I woke up to Ichabod being sick AGAIN.  As I got up to clean up his mess, I ended up getting a splitting headache in the back of my head!  I ended up taking some pain meds which is usually something I try to avoid, and finally fell back asleep about an hour later.  Didn't have much trouble with pain the rest of the day, but the anxiety came back, so yeah, I'm feeling better, but not?  Ha.  Whatever, I feel okay right now, and that's all that matters.  I did send this picture to boyfriend yesterday though, which somewhat sums up how I've been feeling the past few weeks:

As for Ichabod, I think it's just stress and anxiety!  He's always had a fairly bare belly, like almost completely fur-less, but recently I realized that he has been pulling it out, and leaving more chunks of hair around and there has been more hair in his vomit....so, my next order of action is to get him some calming treats and see if that helps.  Because otherwise, he is completely normal; he eats, plays, wrestles with his brother, cuddles and what not.  And yes, I know cats are extremely good at hiding illness, but I've had cats long enough to know that if he's wrestling, he's fucking fine other than what my boyfriend calls "a mentally ill cat."

Okay, I've blathered enough...TORNADO/FLASH FLOOD WARNING sent to my phone!!! We're gonna diiiiiieee!!!!  jkjkjkjk

Here's my latest VLOG if you care, but it pretty much just sums up what I talked about now.

OKAY BAI!

Halloweek & The Adventures of a Hypochondriac!

That's right, I came here to talk about my health again.  I'd like to focus on Halloween, but that just ain't happening as my anxiety/stress/depression/hypochondria dictate and consume my life.

For a second there, I thought I was feeling better, but yesterday I had a sudden rush of heart palpitations as I was just sitting at my laptop watching a YouTube video, and with that came a rush of light headedness and feeling like I was about to pass out right in my office at work.  I feel like I need a fucking babysitter....

I KNOW I should go to the doctor, but honestly, they aren't going to tell me anything I don't already know.  The best they can do is take my blood and see if I have low iron, which I have started taking supplements for, just in case.  As well, I am on vitamin D and B12.  I like to treat things naturally and without going to a doctor who really doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.  I don't like or trust doctors...I'm just like a man....lol.  Bad joke?

Anyway, the forecast for Halloween here is looking rainy :( I may not even be able to decorate!

I was supposed to decorate boyfriend's house this past weekend, but it was raining all weekend.  And it's supposed to come back this weekend as well.  Hopefully it will only be in the morning and leave by the time the kids go out for candy!

Tomorrow some friends and I are going to the Geeks Who Drink Walking Dead Trivia and it should be a fun time.  Fun lil' Halloween themed activity!  I even get to leave work early :-D

I would like to get around to more videos, and have posted a couple of my cat, but it's been hard to get motivated.  I also have a YouTube contest I need to make a video for by November 15th!  That's right, a contest!  You'll see later....

Anyway, here is the video of my cat playing with a stick.  That's all for now.  Just needed to get some health talk off my chest again.  My stomach issues seem to have subsided for the most part, now it has manifested into general anxiety and chronic headaches...oh, the joys of being a hypochondriac....

Bye!
