Someone, once again, claims they have identified Jack the Ripper. And once again, I don’t believe it. I don’t think any of their evidence is a smoking gun. The media outlet I saw it on took it as gospel truth without asking any good questions and that deeply annoyed me.

Went to Hickory and hit three thrift stores. I had decided that one cannot subsist on leather jackets alone, so I concluded that I should include jean jackets as well. Well, there are a lot of Jean jackets. I got some and figured I’d dye them black or even other colours. I did find a leather jacket as well. I also found a biker vest with an embossed skull on the back, and it looked pretty new. I found it in the men’s coat rack, I felt pretty lucky to have gotten that before someone else.  I’m not sure what to customise it with, but I don’t want to sell it as-is. The whole point of the shop is things being custom. Unique. Something that would be difficult to find otherwise. I so wish I had someone to bounce ideas off of. I really really do. That would help a LOT. I might bother a friend and ask them what they think. He doesn’t read my blog anymore 🙁

I found what I guess is a child’s size Jean jacket. I figured I’d paint some Sailor Moon on the back and bedazzle it a bit and a kid would love it. See, I think of the children….sometimes! Haha. I found another pretty small one that would fit a really small woman but I think I’ll do the same thing with it. Small sizes are the last to be bought, usually, but if it’s customised specifically for a kid, then it would probably sale. I know I would have loved that stuff when I was a kid or tween. I really just want to make things people will treasure for a long time. Quality is a goal, most definitely.

I had an appointment with my psychiatrist that I just got back from a bit ago, and my medications are changed once again, mostly back to normal. There was one to replace the Provigil, I think it’s called Vivance. She thinks it will help my anxiety a lot. I sure hope so because I cannot keep going this way! She said it would also maybe help my very short attention span. That would be friggin great. I hope I hope. 🤞

I’ve gone back to sometimes taking naps at night, usually from 10 to 12. I’m going to start taking an extra half of a Provigil pill, so that’ll make 150mg. I don’t like getting sleepy until I intend to actually go to bed and get my 8 hours. I just woke up lol

I got the Sailor Moon Boxset One, Naoko Takeuchi collection. It comes with 16 holographic art cards and a sparkly white box. It was on sale, and I could not resist! I’m very excited, I never got to read the entire series because the place I bought my manga from (RIP Media Play, I miss you terribly) closed in 2004! It kind of ended my reading of a number of series. I did not shop online much at all back then. Another sad thing is that I never saw the last two (I think?) seasons. Or maybe it was just the last season. And I never saw it in its native Japanese, just the DiC dub. I’m working on acquiring every season on DVD/Blu Ray and each of the OVAs. I have the first two seasons and two of the OVAs so far. I have the last OVA on VHS and I’ll never get rid of it, even if I can’t watch it. ❤️

Sailor Moon is what seriously got me into watching anime. All the stories I made 25 years ago and am still working on? Started as Sailor Moon fan comics. It’s still super obvious in one of them.

I miss those days when I actually liked watching anime. I don’t even tell people I like it anymore unless they bring up an older series I like. I haven’t liked a NEW series since 2013. That was Shingeki no Kyojin. Or maybe it was Kamisama Kiss…I don’t know what year that one actually came out. I tried watching some new ones a few years ago and was either bored or straight up disgusted. The creep factor was pretty high in some of them, and not the good kind of creepy. I still discover old series to this day, though, and there’s so many to check out or rewatch, so I’m good.

I actually wouldn’t mind seeing a new (or old) BL series. If anyone knows a good one new or old let me know.

My 3D printer stand is arriving tomorrow. I’ll have to get someone to help me put it together. The reviews on Amazon collectively say it’s easy to do but I always need help with this shit. I’m also not putting the wheels on, because I saw what happens to those little wheels on carpet. They warp and make the surface uneven. That happened to my craft supply cart with drawers and there’s not anything really heavy in it. The wheels are about to break! This thing has to be even. It may make it a huge pain in the arse to move if I needed to but I don’t know what else I can do. I think I’ll move my game shelf to the living  room and put the printer where that was. Otherwise it would have to go way in front of the window and I can’t do that.

Karen is coming tomorrow or so she says…we’ll see lol. Can’t hit any thrift stores since it’s Monday, except for Goodwill which is open all week. Still searching for those damn leather jackets. I don’t know what else there is to do around here. She has to drop me off at the psychiatrists office by 4:25, so we have less time than usual. I’ll probably go get some river chips.

Edit: I decided I didn’t want to pay $10 monthly to have a custom domain for Etsy. Etsy Plus isn’t worth it at this point in time because I haven’t yet made a red cent and I feel like I’m just throwing money into the abyss. If I can’t change the colour of my shop to black, it’s not worth it to me! I registered the domain with Hover, which partners with Etsy. I figured it would be easier. I don’t really like hover that much. I decided to transfer it to Porkbun, my most favourite registrar that I use for all my domains except .nu domains. There is just something delightful about Porkbun. But anyways. I figured there might be an issue since the domain is literally days old, and a lot of the time you have to wait 60 days to transfer. I decided to try and unlocked the domain and Whois privacy and added Porkbun’s nameservers. I submitted the transfer request at Porkbun and it failed. Checked Hover again and the stupid domain lock was on again. Unlocked it, tried again. Failed. I contacted Porkbun’s help email and they usually respond pretty fast. I’m afraid I’ll have to wait 60 days. That’s just annoying. I was just gonna do a simple redirect that I don’t have to pay $10 monthly for. I had to pay $11 to put in the transfer request. I hope it works and that my money isn’t wasted.

The person I bought my pop socket from told me what I’d have to do to switch the resin bat to the pop socket brand back and I can’t do that, so she said she’d make a new one for me with a 50% discount. I ordered it. I just want my cute little bat to stay on my phone! A real pop has never let me down. They adhere really well. Never get a generic substitute for something like that. You could end up with a broken phone. I’m going to keep the old one because I can’t just throw it in the trash. Maybe I could use the resin bat for something else…like a brooch or something.

Today is Sunday, so I go to the parents to eat. We’re having subs from my favourite place, yay! I asked mom to come get me earlier than usual because I want to spend more time at their house. I hate coming home though, because I start getting anxiety and feeling lonely. Oscar’s been ignoring me lately and that doesn’t help.

On a side note, I fucking HATE iPhone keyboards. I hate them so much. They make me so ragey. It comes up with the weirdest autocorrects ever and just inserts them. It gives me a really hard time if I want to go back and rewrite something. *punts phone across the room*

Oh, and since the socket fell off, here’s a pic of it:

Edit: I got Alice: Madness Returns for 99 cents on Steam. That game has such a cool style. Great deal, even for an older game!

Got Etsy plus, gonna see if it’s worth it. http://horrorofbelladonna.com

Everything is still kinda ugly, I wish I could put it on dark mode or something, because that bright white page just ain’t doing it for me. It’s black on the app, but not on the PC. I hate white pages >_> Not only do they hurt my eyes, but it doesn’t fit the theme of my shop.

I’m feeling better than I was last night. I had a feeling of trepidation and depression. Probably the worst I’ve felt in a while. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist Monday I think, and I’m going to ask her to revert everything back to what it was before. I’m going to keep taking provigil and ask her to up my Ativan or some other anxiety medication. Because I need it.

Mom spent some extra time with me today and we went and ate. I finally saw her upper chest and neck, that was something I did NOT want to see, and it was even worse than what my imagination conjured up. It was pure body horror. The chemotherapy cream she had to put on her chest for two weeks REALLY did a number on her skin. It was some Freddy Krueger shit. It basically killed all the pre-cancerous spots that she gets on her chest a lot and brought them to the surface. Our dermatologist said it should heal back to normal. She has to do this same thing every January from now on. My mom was a sun worshipper in her younger days. No one talked about sunscreen, it wasn’t really a thing back then. The big thing was tanning oil. People just laid there and baked in the sun, doing horrible damage to their skin and it’s no surprise that a lot of older people get more skin cancers and pre-cancerous spots. I’m really glad I never did that, mom always made me use sunscreen even though I fought it haha.

Sunshine is for plants anyways 😊
