Long Shot Of That Jumping Sign~♫

[Back in May, Mind Bender Toys' party section had this magnificent beast on display. It was $10 though and I couldn't justify spending my then last $10.00CAD on a balloon--regardless if my nickname is 'Captain' & it makes me feel loved. Welp, I bought it for my birthday on Sunday. My brats will love watching it float around my bedroom ceiling XD ]

Pointform as I'm hella tired but haven't been updating-updating and since this place is 10 years-old now I probably should. The bright yellow makes me feel better so there is that too.

→I sent my Nintendo 3DS away because the part the replaced in the last repair was sharp on the left side like it had leaked from the mould and not sanded down. I have a Circle Pad Pro and where the side is sharp I cannot hook it onto my system. I was told sanding it myself would void my warranty. But now they are saying they need to replace the system, but are refusing to send it to Washington again where they have the same style systems in stock. So I'm stressed, and had to call twice to confirm that I DONOTWANT a standard coloured replacement. If it comes to worst I'll have to buy the same 25TH anniversary edition off eBay. But I'll also buy a Midnight Purple 3DS to use for everyday since if I drop the cash for a new limited edition I won't be using it no matter how proud I am of it.

→I got a haircut. And new sneakers.

→Online stress stuff going on but it doesn't matter if I get into it.

→My laptop bag finally arrived. And then spent the next 2 weeks out on the clothesline because it reeked of plastic so bad that I couldn't handle it. I've since washed it again and it seems to be tolerable now. I used it when I went up the line Wednesday.

→( I've learned my ex' is rumoured to be getting married. )

→That said I don't care, being reminded of that time reminds me of others things and it's really not helping just how low I've been feeling. But as I said recently; I won't get into that either.

→I had one specialist appointment finally. Ever since I fell on the stairs and hit my ribs/kidney I've had to go to the washroom more frequently & my urine tests have shown blood without infection. Given my small/as developed as a pre-teen kidneys, and the swelling after the fall it was best to get it looked at. I had x-rays & an ultrasound. The x-rays showed what I suspected that I'd cracked my ribs back then instead of just bruising. 3 ribs actually. The ultrasound didn't show anything bad-bad, but the quality wasn't good so we'll see how the frequency reducing pills help & next tests go before seeing about doing another one. Doctor doesn't suspect anything hella bad, in any case.

→I am awaiting an appointment in Halifax about the other test with whatever is going on with the other things I mentioned before (that I also won't get into), so yeah. It probably won't be for a few more months, but some things are stabilised, some things aren't, and that's that for now.

→I bought a PS3 my PSN is "Lady_Noremon".

→I booked 50 skunks & 15 flamingoes [plastic blow mould lawn ornaments] for my biological mother's 65TH birthday. The Balloon Boutique will come around 11:30PM the night before and set them up on the field by her house and then come pick them up the next evening. I also ordered her a set of earrings, but I doubt they will arrive in time now.

→I got some birthday money early so I bought the PC version of "The Wolf Among Us" to get the physical copy later on, an Action Replay so I can bypass the secure server thing on Last Spectre to get the Weekly Puzzles from the fan server, the brown version of this eyeball ring, a Clear keychain, and a case for my Skylanders [I still want Lightcore Giants Prism Break, Giants Drill Sergent, & the Pirate Seas adventure set].

→My birthday is in 15 days now. I will be 26 year-old o_o

→I've been doing a lot of yardwork. Mostly catching-up on "Welcome to Night Vale" [I'm on "A Story About Them"] while cleaning my garden out, adding dirt, desodding, & planting things (mostly what I started in the house).


→I put my new flute playing lobster out down by Armand. I was being silly so I told it he might let it play with him, if he wasn't too pissy.


→We've had a lot more robins around here this year than last. Last year I'd see them around when I was out in town or something, but not around our yards.

→I'm at 93.3% Completion in "L.A. Noire" right now. I just have to replay 2 cases to get 5 Stars in them (3 cases since I'm missing a gun & there is a case which has the possible candidates of what one I'm missing), and to collect the damn remaining gold film reels. I've only collected 2 of them. It will probably be my first Platinum Trophy~ I have few Endings & some Trophies in "Heavy Rain", but I can't read the conversation text well on my bedroom television, and I am not in the mood to play it in the kitchen lately. I enjoyed playing Jack more than Cole, but I still ♥ Bekowsky as a partner (and Biggs).

→I had planned on by now having already taken my WHMIS & the resumé/interview courses, but the case-worker I have now is hard to get in contact with, lost one month of my paperwork, and signed me up for the wrong course last time I did manage to contact. It was supposed to give me more stability but it's just making me mostly more stressed. I have gotten my Food Safety & Handling course, & my St. John Ambulance Level A CPR & First Aid now though.

It is a week until my 25TH birthday [June 21ST].

I e-mailed alchemy_hisoka earlier, but here is a more public birthday greeting!~♪ I'll update this with a picture later, but I've been exhausted today.

Anyway, again, I just want to say that I'm thinking of you, and that I care. I'm not calling because of not knowing if you are busy & because I know you are often exhausted. But I am thinking of you, and I hope you had a good day with lots of good things to eat. I know things haven't been good at all for either of us, and you have had a lot or stress, grief, & worries. And I've been too low from people emotionally punching me in the stomach & fearful to be much good. But I am glad to have you as a friend, and you deserve an awesome day. And if i wasn't up here, I'd try to be more bothersome for that.

*All the hugs & tea*

Today Minnow Tora Dumphy turned 8 years-old!~♪



Next month on the 20TH will be the anniversary of scooping her up from that barn, but today we had a little 'party' for her. It wasn't as fancy as the one we had for Lydia (which I STILL need to make a post on :/), mostly since I haven't managed to get to a mall or to New Minas, eventhough I expected to before now. But I did make her a little hat (which I forgot to take a picture of her wearing), give her a new toy, and gave all 5 cats a treat of a can of tuna. Then her & Nicki were tied on the nice green lawn for about an hour in the sunshine.


Minnow on the day I brought her here! So tiny and not!orangey. The people had advertised that it was a litter of 'grey tiger kittens', which it was not a litter of. There was one marked like her only a boy, an all grey kitten, and a little girl. The couple's son got on his hands-and-knees to pull the girl out of an empty lawn mower box. As soon as I held her she latched onto my shirt and made a tiny cry. So though he said that there was another kitten around, I stated that I was going to take the one I was holding. She sat on my lap in my shirt & hat (I used to wear button-up shirts & a bucket hat) all the way home. She huddled under a blanket when I sat her on my bed, and hid from Wendy, Belle, & Molly.

I also posted a drabble to commemorate Cassius getting Saunder 2 years ago. It can be read here, but it is Custom FriendS' Locked. I know there isn't much point in keeping Lorel gender things locked now, but it is still ambigious on first glance. If you'd like to read it, I can e-mail it or something though!

♪Today is Armadei [alchemy_hisoka]'s birthday!~♫

I know you said that you already celebrated it, but I wanted to just quickly wish you a good one (despite all that is going on). I also have here a box to send once I can get into town next, but you also said you were going away soon, so I guess you will 'get it when you get it'.



Take-care & lots of love,

---Sarah-Sarah

I did record a Voice-Post earlier, but with the DDoS attacks, I don't know when/if it will post. BUT YES:

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
 ARMIE!!!~♥  [alchemy_hisoka]

I have not caught-up on LiveJournal (honesty!), nor have I read my Friends' Page in...several weeks, but I hope you are doing well yourself, and that you atleast had an alright day today.

I do have something to send (have had 1/2 since DECEMBER), but only part of it has arrived, I hope the other half gets here by Thursday when I can mail things, but I did buy some lovely wrapping paper for it~ If there is anything else you would want included, just hit me up before then!

And I have been mostly well, anaemia has been dragging me down a lot though. Getting ready to start spring yardwork soon however. Keeping warm, and out of trouble!

This is based off of the picture I drew last year, but never got scanned and now I can't find it :( I wanted to try a new colouring style as it has been a long time since I've drawn anything on the computer. I drew this in OpenCanvas 1.1, and did the cop-out background in OpenCanvas 3.03 :3 I tried to draw your character Jack, but I'm not sure if I got it right. I remember saying you liked ducks once, so I wanted to have him riding an orange duck XD The duck is angry because of his rider's recklessness :P

( FULL SIZE ORIGINAL IS HERE~♥ )

The gallery can be [[HERE]] found on Facebook. I will be uploading more pictures of the decorations tomorrow, but here are some from today. Yeah we totally had phats :D [from Christmas crackers no less :3]~!

Also here is a short video of the sparkler on my cake.:
