I need to get one for the bathroom or something, cause there's a string smell of tobacco in there. I'm betting thats whats making me sick o:
maybe previous tenants were allowed to smoke. That stuff sticks for years

@milkshake:
Yayy! It helped so much ;v;
doing a bit better today but that peppermint/orange aroma is the only thing that got me through yesterday!

I still need to get my second dose for vaccine >> got the first then had to move suddenly across country. Now I'm at a point I gotta wait until I have some vacation time off cause I'm certain itll make me sick! but we're short staffed :D sdkfh
thankfully I dont have any symptoms of covid or anything. Just hay fever

@totalanimefan:
Only since this morning. But, I always feel sicker when I'm at home than when I'm out and about or at work.
I think this apartment has something to it that I may be allergic to. I gotta do some research to figure out what that is and see if I can relocate or something!

if it isn't the apartment then perhaps the mountain cedar here P:
But eh... I feel better outside too so i dont think thats the case

@totalanimefan:
it does! My left sinuses feel so dang swollen, its super uncomfortable
almost time to take another medicine tho so hopefully I can sleep it off tonight~!

I know its really annoying to most people to see holidays popping up so early
and that they take up 4-5 months rather than like a week or whatever. Makes them less special.

But I..

with how life is so stressful many times... I actually have been finding comfort by the early holiday commercialism this and last year.
The smiling pumpkins in august and the derpy santas in september here
idk its kind of calming?

@koneko:
Yes! and I can become closer to becoming a true alchemist!

But one thing I realized is how incredibly helpful masks are.
I have this aroma therapy concoction that a lady made for me back in massage school last year that is a simple peppermint and orange blend.
Very very good for reducing inflammation!
So I mist some of it on the inside of my mask and then wear it--helps me soooo much with symptoms while medicine hopefully works its way through my system to kick this gross sick

*bundles up*
Now I'm inspired to take my little bit of aroma therapy knowledge and delve deeper into that study.
Make some concoctions of my own! For myself. But like, make them appear like potion bottles. c:

@goblinsandtea:
I guess Discord is the closest thing to socializing for me outside of Voltra O:
Its just a matter of finding good servers, like you did!

Artfight discord can definitely get overwhelming, but I try to endure the crazy speeds even if I get ignored. It helps to get your name out there so people start looking at your artfight profile, might end up with new targets or new attacks! Then during off season I tend to play around in the minigames area. Its mostly for drawing motivation, but then people start to recognize my name from years of being around. Havent made any friends but sometimes have fun interactions.

My second one is a seasonal art exchange server. They're incredibly chill and friendly, but dont talk very much. The general channel will be silent for like a week or two until someone finally says something, then there's a conversation, then dies again XD the event itself is where all the attention goes.
(btw if you like art exchange/artfight concepts, the seasonal exchange is open for applications rn! its like a secret santa thing here )

@wildfire:
Ohh, thank you very much!! That is plenty enough to get that sunflower thing :'D

@icedchai:
I'm so sorry, it really is hard when you feel like you're the only one carrying the load while the other gets to relax as much as they want. While spending funds that should go toward regaining the balance D:
Have you been able to communicate with him about this?
Weed is indeed a luxury and while withdrawals are still a thing, and they will turn him into a royal pain for a bit, if he's doing it for himself and his family (you) and it means enough to him, it's very much possible to put a stop to it. Like you said, until you guys are stable enough to afford it again, if it is something you felt like picking back up.

I am grateful in my situation that quitting was not a problem to my partner. Its hard because anxiety and emotions get stronger when you cold-turkey it, but he did it because, like you suggest, there are more important things. The greatest difficulty is battling depression and learning how to sit with himself. He holds a lot of anger and regret, guilt, and just a ton of negative emotion that weed used to be his go-to to numb all of that. But as he works toward healing rather than hiding from his trauma, he's gradually finding that he feels a more true sense of ease and happiness without a substance.

If he is willing to put it down, I do recommend getting a jar of something like m&m's to help occupy his mouth, to counter cravings or munchies

@goblinsandtea:
Yeah, that makes sense! I think people are getting so clouded over numbers and algorithms, and what drama to scream at. There's not very many places to just chill.
Voltra is the closest thing, but sometimes when I'm really itching to be social I feel like I end up just flooding the forums here while maybe just a few people are online who are also trying to find something to do XD
But still, at least its still happy here!

Artfight is the only other thing I really enjoy online, but thats only during on-season in July >>
its less of a social media and more of an art event thing, but their discord can be fun sometimes

Thank you LilMissKushy! <33

@vixen:
Thank you! <33

@ryume:
ISN'T IT? My mother got me the kit for christmas, as well as two other (larger) miniature structures. Asian-style houses and whatnot. They're so friggin pretty but so expensive! I might need to make a clear case for them to keep them nice when I finish building ;v;

Having a cat makes me feel like I need to put everything breakable into a bubble..

And thank you!! I was trying to practice magic effects so it hurt my brain lmao

@vixen:
Yeahh.. I just made a new DA real quick just to see if its even worth getting into again.
It looks like the filters have gotten better, but still its just another algorithm-y, antisocial platform.

Is it possible to avoid NFT wars by using DA instead of Twitter, I wonder :vanora_worried:
Hardly know how those things work, but just seems to be another reason I'm mildly tempted to deactivate my account entirely
