My echocardiogram results are now online, but I can't decipher them so I am still at the mercy of waiting for the doctor to have time to go over them. *sigh* In other news, my boyfriend ordered a digital XBOX and it arrived yesterday so I finally got to play Cyberpunk 2077. I can tell I'm going to love it, regardless of what others say.

Well, we just experienced a near tornado! I had to wake up my poor boyfriend because we had to huddle in the bathroom with our very nervous dog, and three cats! Thankfully there was no damage near us and no power outage either. An amazing thing considering that 20k+ people in my area don't have power. I need my fan on or else I suffocate overnight!

Thank you! We're all good here! It was a bit freaky because that was the first time in my adult life that I have had to actually get into shelter because a tornado was THAT close. We could hear winds outside too that at the time, sounded like a tornado. But we had no damage outside so it wasn't.

Not having a job and just being a lazy human in general, I don't get out much anymore. Which I am totally fine with, don't get me wrong! But I have kind of not really been taking care of myself lately. I used to be obsessive with my skin, using blackhead strips every other week to remove buildup and I haven't been doing that. I also used to cut and dye my hair myself every few months too, and I have really neglected that! I don't mind the gray hair I have, and I have a lot of it! But I DO mind that my color got so drab and boring and blah, and I let it go on for way too long. I got a cheap dye from Amazon and finally colored my hair tonight. It's not a noticeable difference, aside from the gray hairs being mostly gone, but it still looks better.

Long story short: self care is important, ladies! Not saying you need to dye your hair and use pore strips, just do something that makes you feel good! Also don't forget to drink your water!

Hi my lovely fanpop Sisters.Hope you are all well I have missed you.Let's share ice cream 🍨 🍨🍨

I got the ice cream! Who wants some!? 😁🍦

Me me me!! Y'all know I love ice cream! It's basically all I have been eating lately lol

I've got a Bible addiction. This is my new one! It's a graphic novel with beautiful illustrations!

I took some pictures of the inside for a review I'm going to do and wanted to share here as well.

This is just gorgeous artwork! I'm so in love!

I need an opinion. They have made my beloved Fear Street books into a three part series but I'm torn about this, what do ya'll think? 🤔🤨
(I'm a purist btw when comes to these books but I'm keeping an open mind)

I didn't know you liked the Fear Street books! So do I, but I'm more partial to the Seniors sub. Those were my favorite books in junior high. I actually watched the first movie and really enjoyed it. I don't think I have read the exact books so I couldn't tell you how far off the movies are, but I recommend watching the first. That reminds me I need to watch the other 2!

I know I'm not the only one who just HATES talking on the phone! Right?

It's storming pretty good over here, ladies! It is MUCH needed weather and I am very excited because y'all know I love storms! How is the weather where you are?

Such sad news!😢
My Fave Night Court Couple Together Again... R.I.P Markie Post 🙏💐

Well ladies, you know of my addiction to Harlequin books and today I received yet another shipment! lol Somebody should probably put me in a program for bookaholics!

I also got this in the mail today too. It's supposed to have over 200 premonitions about the Titanic incident. I hope it's good, it's my first Titanic book in decades!

Also was just really feeling the books today so I also went to the store and checked out what they had. Of course I came home with 4 more books....somebody has to give them a home!!

HALLOWEEN CANDY IS OUT!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

Last picture of the night, but this is the candy mix I got at the store. It's kind of like bark, just a lot less thick. It is delicious! I was clearly in the mood for chocolate! Chocolate and romance books. Hmm...

Today was a weird weather day. We had a heat advisory warning along with a severe thunderstorm watch. I just turned our air conditioner down lol

I'm such a nerd. One of my course text books arrived today and I couldn't wait to look inside. I'm so excited to learn more about the classical music I love so much! 🖤

Also look at this magnificent dress! I want it so bad!!

I was shopping for groceries last night and came across this 7-Up cake and I bet it's disgusting 🤢 Not a fan of 7-Up.

Speaking of tasty foods *sarcasm*
Anyone want some fried butter? *lol* (I wish I was kidding!)

I had to show this! The latest in make up techniques from Tik Tok! *drum roll* 🥁....

LOL! I am not shocked such a thing exists. I mean, I love fatty and buttery foods as much as the next person, but a fried butter stick?? No thank you!

Speaking of strange fried foods in Scotland they have deep fried Mars Bars.I wonder why the chocolate doesn't melt *lol* !

So lately I have been really intrigued by Antarctica and what may or may not be down there, and I've been watching videos and reading links but I came across a few books that I wanted to look into and this is one of them. A theory is that the Nazis still operate a base under the ice in Antarctica, at least that's the short version. It is a fact though, that Germany owns some land down there.

Here's the second book. I know nobody here is into conspiracies like I am, but this is a very fascinating topic to me!

Oh my gosh, I completely forgot to update you guys! So today I finally got a call from my heart doctor and everything is good! Sad news for my mortal enemies though 😂

Oh gosh, my classes start in FOUR DAYS!! Am I ready? I'm ready!

My classes start tomorrow and I still don't have a course link so I can't get my second book in print. It's so frustrating!

This is what I spent a few hours doing today and yesterday. You have to map out the stickers just right so it's quite a feat. This is my laptop.

Well today was productive! So our first assignment for history was to read Christopher Columbus' letter about the lands he found and named. I vaguely remembered that there WAS a letter from my high school years, but I couldn't have told you what was in it. It's very interesting, at least in my opinion. I can post a link if anyone else wants to read it though don't feel obligated to!

Unfortunately my other class, the music one, is still listed as 'private' so I can't even see the syllabus or course work. It's the one I have a physical textbook for too so I could easily start reading. I have to read my history book online until I get the physical copy, and I always struggle reading online. I take much better notes when I can hold it.

How was everyone's weekend? Did you do anything fun?

My nerdy self has already written down when tests, papers, and assignments are due! I quite enjoyed myself lol

In case y'all missed my question about what your handwriting looks like...here's what mine looks like. Click on the picture to make it bigger since you can't make out anything on this size.

Great news everyone! I know you all have been holding your breath waiting for this news! My music class is finally up and I'm able to view it! Wonderful!

Such a wonderful topic to learn about, and since I literally picked this course because I was interested in the topic, it is easy to read about and take in the information. Imagine if I hated the subject!

It's only week 1 of school and I've already taken so many notes (9 pages total!) that my wrist is starting to hurt. How am I going to do several more months of this?!

I just found out that there is a 'understanding cinema' class I could take! The only problem is you have to take an English class and pass it as a prerequisite. And though I like reading, I hate the subject of English. So that's a bummer....

Hello ladies, how is everyone doing today? Are y'all excited for the weekend?! I know I am! Today I will hopefully get my history book so I can finish my school work for this week.

It's been a full day and I still haven't read the 20-some pages in this chapter. I am terrible! I've just been trolling around on FB. Stupid! I have an idea! Nobody talk to me until I say I have finished my chapter, and I promise I will be telling the truth because it has to be done before midnight tonight.

Aaaaand...go!

Okay forgot to post that you all can talk to me again! I finished my chapter!

Okay, I need some advice! So, I did some bloodwork and surprise, surprise, I'm being sent to a kidney specialist! And I don't even know why (love being kept in the dark) so my question is how do I explain to a doctor why I'm there when I don't even know? I mean if there's something wrong how do I explain other than my kidney's are doing something they shouldn't? Or something like that? I'm not sure. How do I not look stupid?

Hi Kirsten, I don't know about where you are or the hospital/doctor system you are in but here, I am able to view my results online. Some I am not able to read myself, but I'm also able to read the doctors notes about me and the visit. Are you able to do that? If not, I would just recommend telling this specialist what lead up to you having to see them. Like an MRI, or ER visit, etc. I hope that helps and makes sense!

Hello ladies! Here's a reminder for you to drink water and take your medicine. Self care is healthcare!

I'm really irritated because I have bought 2 different micro sd cards to use for storage on my phone and none of them are working! First I saw it could hold up to 128gb so of course I bought that one...nothing would transfer over. Then I see another manual that says it holds 32gb so I bought that one too. And again, nothing would transfer over. I just wasted $20 and I hate wasting money!
