Hi friends!!! I know I've been gone for so long. First off, I wanted to apologize; apparently, a lot of you look forward to reading about my blog and what's happening with my life!
I have simply been crazy busy and not feeling super motivated to write about my life. I have been working on my art, trying to get everything done, as well as getting ahead of some of my upcoming projects and assignments.
I was also super stressed because my mom and stepdad were coming to Chicago this past weekend, and I wanted to prepare my room in time and get work done so I wouldn't have to worry about it during the weekend and I could be able to focus on spending time with them.
I will say, though, that the curse has been BADDDD. Last week there were just so many things that kept happening to me, and my health was not the best. I was feeling really stressed for no reason in particular, but it was getting to me. I've already been in school for 8 weeks, midterms are coming, and I am just having a hard time making artwork that is at its full potential.
This lack of motivation recently has, in a way, prevented me from doing work that I'm proud of. So this past week, I've been trying to force myself to get things done.
With this stress, I've been having intrusive thoughts that I should delete this blog, or my friends don't really like me, etc. Which are things that are irrational (I hope) and things I shouldn't listen to.
For this week, though, Monday was really bad in terms of my service dog, Benedict. I'm not really sure what happened, but his back leg was really hurting him. He wasn't able to walk correctly and was limping. I was EXTREMELY worried because while he is very dramatic, he doesn't do anything dramatic while working. He has always been very focused and whatnot. I do, however, think that it might have been his vest that was bothering him since it was one he was not used to wearing. But later on Monday, it was still bothering him, even when he wasn't wearing the vest. Because of this, I decided to stay home from class yesterday morning.
Staying home from class worried me, though, because I like to be there every class. I just hate seeing my grade go down or missing something important. But I also think I needed to stay home because I realized how exhausted Ben and I were.
So, in the long run, it ended up being good for both of us, and this morning, Benedict seemed to be completely healed! He is now at daycare while I'm in class playing with his friends.
One thing I did get for my curse is a Luckenbooth brooch. It's a Scottish thing, and I hope it will bring me luck. While also making the Scotts love me and trust me.
It didn't bring me the best of luck today, though, because I did realize that I ran out of my medicine, so until I can get an appointment with my doctor, I will go unmedicated...
I am so tired today, unfortunately, due to my night class that goes until 9:30 p.m. The only reason I never dropped it is that it is online, so I can just go to sleep right after. But my typical bedtime is 7:30-8:00, so I'm feeling a little sleepy since I only got around 6 hours of sleep last night.
But, since my class was online, I finally got the time to work on my digital embroidery projects. SO I FINALLY GOT SOME OF THAT WORK DONE. YAY!
Anyway, that's all I have for today! See you tomorrow!
