Tag: Thrifting

I went leather jacket hunting and only found a small brown one, which I will further distress and make it a Nephs jacket. It’s kind of small and would probably fit a girl. It’s good practice. All the other leather jackets had a seam down the back, so I didn’t bother because it would ruin the art. I was hoping for motorcycle style jackets but some dude picked up one as soon as I walked in the store and it was the only one 😭 Almost  every other thrift store was closed! I don’t understand that, their weekend is Sunday and Monday, but they’ve started taking Tuesdays off as well. I also checked our local goodwill which is open all week, found nothing. I feel like they moved things around in there and it confused me.

We went and ate and she started talking politics and I was answering vague with stuff like “mhmm” or “I don’t know enough about that to comment on it”. lol. Oh it makes me so uncomfortable. Please do not do that. To be fair, she doesn’t know how much I hate it and I don’t know how to say “I don’t want to discuss politics, please” without sounding rude. 😅

Discussing politics and religion ends friendships, I know this firsthand. Some of my friends were always the aggressive and often straight up hateful ones and I’m just kind of meek and don’t say what I think because I was afraid of losing said friendships. Finally realised they were toxic as radioactive fuck and just left Facebook altogether. Bye bye bye! My mental health got a lot better, I’ll tell you that. Leave Facebook alone if you value your mental health. It’s a treacherous hive of scum and villainy. I promise you’ll be happy you did. This goes for any social media, really, but facebook is where my problem materialised.

I ate too friggin much and thought I was gonna hurl for about an hour. It was miserable. I told karen and mom to please just pimp-slap me as hard as possible if I ever try to order two portions of something again. I think I learned my lesson. Those river chips are so good though.




Omg

I just got something I’ve been wanting for years. I got a 3D printer! I’m only paying about 25$ a month for it, thank gods for Affirm…it comes with a spool of black filament. Let’s hope I can successfully put it together!

It’s an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus.

Went thrifting today and didn’t find a damn thing which is hard to believe because that Goodwill in Hickory is a fucking labyrinth of clothes…I found ONE shirt but it was the wrong color. I really like those crushed velvet shirts like the ones I had back in the 90s, and I’m always on the lookout for one, especially in black. I had some really cool ones. Clothes were just cooler then.




I went thrifting at my favorite Goodwill today and was looking through the huge rack of dresses. I found the most beautiful black velvet cheongsam. It’s kinda small but not too small, I really want to fit into it if I can lose enough weight. It’s so pretty. It’s a bit slim in the hips though. I couldn’t NOT buy it though, it’s too beautiful. I swear to god I’ll fit into it if it KILLS me!

I found several others, a couple of black lacy goth-ish ones and one with taco cats all over 😆 I’ll edit with pictures later.

Ate at longhorn because I got paid today. Absolutely stuffed. I ate too much and wasn’t even able to finish my steak. They weren’t kidding when they called it “well marbled” because holy fuck it was difficult to eat. I kind of got tired of fighting for my food and gave up lol I mean god damn that’s a lot of tough fat. I had to take it home.

I bought two bariatric cookbooks off Amazon, one for food in the appropriate portions and one for healthy smoothies also in the proper size. I also got an insulated lunch bag that comes with tiny cutlery and plastic snack containers in the specific portions I’ll need. I’m definitely preparing well. I should be scheduled for surgery sometime in August. The bariatric center hasn’t called back with a specific date yet. I just can’t believe it is finally happening! I’ve been trying for this surgery since 2011. I did it. I’m pretty proud of myself.
