Moving all that Emotional Baggage

This week and next are CRAZY busy weeks in my RL. From February 26th, HellBone and I don't have access to our house in RL because we are having some MAJOR rennovations done that are necessary and we HAVE to get things done. SO, HellBone and I are tidying, packing, sorting and prepping not only ONE but TWO places because luckily for us, my boss was willing to let us live on one of their properties... I have large amounts of anxiety over my roughly 6-month temporary relocation, but for now I'm just getting things ready... 

Every time I have a day off it's like the typical Moving Day scene - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - there are boxes and cleaning supplies and mess everywhere... It's not just the stuff though, it's all the emotional baggage that I'm carrying - represented so perfectly by The Bearded Guy's What I Carry box - that is making this harder. I am exhausted, I am running on high anxiety and I can feel the clock ticking in a count down to when we are needing everything done and ready by... The cat isn't helping too as she's stressing while the house empties around her and she screams at the top of her little lungs in the voice of her people... I wish there was more hours in the day, just a few hours more then I'd be able to have a proper dinner, rather than just some pizza in my mouth as I dash past... Although Mouth Pizza is flipping delicious...

Recharging the Harpies

Having one of those days where you need a little more magic in your life? I know that I have been feeling that way for a while now and I don't think there will be anything that I can get to happen anytime soon... 
So I'm going to have to get myself dragged into the Midnight Order and find the magic so that I can refind my own sparkle... 

The magic thats can only be found in the old Dany's Throne Room - a backdrop from K&S - is a draw to many that come to visit the Midnight Order. Today's visitor is one of the Galewing Harpies - with wings and jewels from aii at the current round of Midnight Order until February 20th - who has come to absorb some of the magic from the Leyline Table. It makes her glow, the halo glittering more as she recharges her magical batteries, I wish it was just as easy in RL...

Sandwiches for Dinner

It's the first of February and I have no idea about where this month will take me... I'm moving to temporary housing in a few weeks because we're having some massive rennovations done to our home. It's causing my anxiety to spike and therefore more stress is in the house than normal. I'm worried about everything and I'll be honest I don't really want to do much of anything, it's a difficult cycle to be in... For right now I'll stick to the easy decisions I need to make... Like what do I want for dinner?!

I would say that's one of the easiest questions but one of the hardest to answer, and there have been SO MANY TIMES I tend to debate with myself for hours... I NEVER know what I want and when there is something that I do want and I don't have it, or I don't want anything that I do have. 
One of my favourite things that has become dinner will always be a Sandwich, I could eat sammiches ALL day long, preferably with a side of chips and maybe a little vinegary... Today, the sammich of choice is a Reuben - thanks to Lucas Lameth - and although I've never had one I hear that they are pretty good, full of pastrami, melted cheese and apparently sauerkraut. Tonight, as it's a special occasion because I feel like it, I'm going to have a lovely bag of Puppy's Tasty Snacks Potato Chips - from MishMish for the Saturday Sale this weekend - and a delicious Snap'N'Dill pickle - from Tardfish - where each of the packages comes with a surprise inside...

Beasts Released!

Oh my gosh it's the end of January... Where did January go? Normally the month seems to go on forever and yet this year it was a blink and you miss it situation... 
Now though the Valentine's feelings are able to come in and cause epic amounts of chaos for a couple of weeks... The little naked flying babies have been released and they are on their way to earth BUT there may be a slight problem... A little error occurred in the release process... 

When the release button was pushed, it somehow unlocked other containment units at Cryptid HQ, and things that should have stayed locked away until the scary season have been released... Monsters that may cause Valentine's to become Anti-Valentines, and at this time it is unsure how many of these things were let loose... 
Now, never fear everyone, we have warned the illusive Secret Society that is the Midnight Order, and they will be working tirelessly to both assist our recapture efforts and provide distraction with their wonderful shopping experience... 
Now we just gotta play like they are Pokemon and catch 'em all...Just a shame we don't know how many got loose? This could cause chaos... Valentine's could either be cute or deadly... I guess we have to watch this space right?!

Sorry, but I'm Keeping the Ring!

It's almost the month of Love, well technically unlike Christmas or Halloween, Valentine's shouldn't get a whole month as it's halfway through and therefore we suffer less with it perhaps?! I shouldn't complain, I've had HellBone for the last 15 Valentine's but meh, it's such a boring holiday lol... 
All that trouble rejecting the (Non) Valentines that I get every year - it makes me laugh since I NEVER actually get one, even from the hubby - but it's such a chore LOL... I might as well get started early... 

Now I am no fool, I don't need all of these romantic gestures and gifts, BUT since the trouble was taken to choose and give me these things, it would be rude of me not to keep them and put them to good use... 
I'll write them a nice letter back and may even take pictures of me posing with some of the pretty gifts like this fabulous diamond ring that was sent as "The Promise" - which is actually a release from Boutique #187 for DUBAI until February 15th, and there are SO MANY different options for what you want the card to say... Such a fun idea for this time of year don'tcha think? - and it's a promise I'm going to have to make him break with a well written note of thanks...

My Disney Princess Moment!

It's been a day off for me and I've taken some time to look after myself and get some fun things done for me... I wanted to catch up on some blogging, play with some outfits and get some of my inventory sorted... 
I spent lots of time singing along, badly I might add, to a playlist of Disney songs and thus I was channelling my inner-Disney Princess... 

It helped that I spent a lot of time playing around today in some gorgeously pretty dressed, that I had picked up when I went to shop at the Midnight Order... That place is magical and the fashions are fit for the princesses amongst us... 
The Dolce Far Niente Gardens - a backdrop from K&S - is slowly shacking off it's Winter wear and the birdies are coming back in search of something delicious... So I took more of an opportunity to live my Disney Princess dreams and, even though I actually sounded more like Princess Fiona in Shrek, I had a little sing song with the birdies...

Prepping the Bad Magic before Valentine's

Ahhh Wednesday, thank fuck you're finally done for me and I have the day off tomorrow... I NEED to have some time to relax, although with the building preparations and having to pack umore stuff I think I have a lot more to do than I might have anticipated LOL.... 
For tonight I'm going to kick back and work a little magic... The month of the hearts and flowers and romance is alomost upon us and for the next couple of weeks everything will no doubt be full of Valentine's sweetness... I'm not a Valentine fan, can't it be Halloween again?! Perhaps I need to find a way... 

Now if there is one thing I do know is that Monster Smut is often a good way to enjoy the romance and seduction without things being too sickly sweet... Since starting my reading journey I've discovered a LOT of new things that are somewhat intriguing... 
I've decided to let the bood thirsty monster out of myself, I'm going to let her let her hair down and plan her Valentine season... No mush, no sickly sweet, not even a card, just dark Valentine funsies... She's already preparing herself, she's had something to drink and has been to see the magical beings of the Midnight Order - which runs until February 20th by the way - to pick up some Love Potion and a Blood Vial - from Ritual - so that she can get started...
