Cracked hytale, venting, my only life problem
Today I downloaded cracked hytale and messed around with it a little. Sort of like a free trial thing so that I can see if I like the game without making a purchase. Anyway, I made a server, and I'm thinking of opening it up and putting the link on this site. It would be a server page on this website with like kind of an old minecraft server type feel and also I would create an on/off thing to notify everyone playing when the server will be turning off or on. It might be fun. I cut my bangs yesterday after a while of contemplating and realized curtain bangs were just what I needed to start the new year. I also did a lot of homework today without cheating, and that made me feel good. I felt like I was in highschool again, actually learning. I really want to make my house pretty. I'm disappointed with so much of it and there is so much that I actually would love to do to make it better, but my resources are slim to none. I also think I may have OCD instead of my (diagnosed) ADHD because a lot of my habits and stuff line up with that disorder instead. I don't want to fully waste time and speculate on it however. I feel like it wouldn't be an important thing to focus my time or energy on since ADHD based cleaning strategies can sometimes work for me. One thing that unsettles me about myself and my own habits is the idea that I could be falling into the exact life I didn't want to live; the life my parents lived when they were my age. I understand that I am self aware and I understand that I am doing a lot to become healthy and break the cycle, but I find myself falling into patterns of laziness and carelessness a lot. Actually, scratch that. It isn't that I don't care at all. It's just that I think too much and overcomplicate my problems. My boyfriend is the only person in my life who I can fully talk to without overthinking or overcomplicating, but he has similar patterns of laziness sometimes too. I would love it if I could do everything in my brain, just do it, just let it out, just fully achieve the things I wish. Maybe, for you, reader (no one), I can express my true feelings. I would love it if someone, not someone in my immediate circle, would read this, just to figure me out. Maybe, someone will discover it long in the distant future, or maybe someone will stumble across it, confront me in real life, and I'll be incredibly ashamed of what I have written. Please, if you know me, don't tell me. I want you to read this in secrecy. Anyway, having said that, I want to list out the things I want and why I feel they are unachievable at this current moment. (treating this blog as my therapist so that I don't have to spend 20 dollars copayment).
1. I want to get all the trash inside my house out of my house right now.
Why is this unachievable at this very moment? It is because I live in such a rural place that there is no trash pickup. If I want to throw away things that are taking up a huge amount of space like the broken microwave which has sat beside my back door for months, I will have to drive to the landfill which is 30 minutes away. I have never gone to the landfill, I don't know how it works, and I cannot donate the thing to the thrift store because I wouldn't be that person who gives away something broken. I hate those people. So, you see, my dilemma is that I have so many things like that microwave which cannot be burnt in a fire, cannot be donated, and cannot be thrown away regularly like my other trash. Along with that, my attic is in complete disarray which means that I have to go up there amidst the cold weather, hornets, and wasps and decide in the darkness what items to keep and what to trash when something of value or sentiment may be in there. I have gone through so much of it, looked at each thing carefully, and still, after 3 years of living here, it is not done. I feel like I'm at a dead end. Tomorrow, on his day off, my boyfriend and I will go into our front living room (the unusable room, deemed the trash room for now) and throw away all the trash in there just so that I can fill it back up as I slowly clean our attic. It's unfulfilling, boring, and makes me hate my house. I just wish that I had a magic wand to wish all the trash away and finally move on. It makes me not want to wash our dishes, do our laundry, or anything. It's so fucking unmotivating to have an entire room of trash that I just can't get rid of. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to express this without being too upset.
2. As I was trying to write 2, I realized that all of my issues actually stem from thing 1. The trash thing is actually the only consistent problem in my entire life. Oh. Well, I guess that makes everything harder. Anyway, goodbye for now. I might go to the thrift store, might not, depends on how long the sleet outside lasts.

New dryer, hopes for a kitchen redo, and loving my sewing machine
I've been doing pretty okay. I have updated the blogs page of the website so that everything looks way better, and I'm still working on it. The holidays have definitely not helped with my weightloss goals, and I'm pretty sure I have gained back a lot of the weight I lost. Oh well, I'll just have to try extra hard this year.
My new classes started, and I hate them already. If it weren't so close to my graduation date, I'd be dropping out of college right now. It seems pointless to me to continue pursuing this degree when I know for a fact I'm just going to be a housewife. All of this for a piece of paper.
Well, in good news, Mason is probably going to propose to me soon. I'm excited, scared, and happy. I feel like it's the beginning of a great new future, but I still have a lot of loose ends I want to tie up with the house and making it all nice and stuff. Right now, it's a total wreck.
My new dryer is coming soon because I finally caved and decided I'd rather do my laundry at home than the laundromat. I am excited to get the dryer and check it out especially since it's one of those portable ones that don't need to connect to a wall vent (our house has no hookups). It will be coming soon, and I am sooooo happy. I'll probably post an update when it comes!
One thing I'm pretty excited about is my new sewing machine. For the longest time, I've used a sears kenmore sewing machine from years and years ago which belonged to my great great grandmother. I loved that machine, but it was so tedious to sew with. Also, something was wrong with the tensioner. I finally caved and bought myself a computerized brother machine. I've been using it nonstop since Christmas. I've sewn one dress, two oven mits, and a new curtain for my kitchen so far. I love experimenting with textured fabrics the most. My kitchen curtain is a white linen which is slightly see-through. It makes natural light come in a lot better and the space looks so much bigger. I also made use of a cabinet closest to the floor underneath where my old oven was and turned it into a small cat bed so that the cats can sit there while I cook. I've noticed they love to come lay at my feet while I cook, so maybe this will be a good compromise. So far, they are enjoying it since it is nearby the heater and they like to bask in the warmth. I'll have to replace the laminate on my countertops soon, but I'm unsure of what color. Finally, I have sanded most of the wall and gotten the beautiful natural wood back. Now, I have to color match a stain which will go with my cabinets. I also want a new gas heater because mine pops which is very offputting. Anyway, enough about my kitchen redoing goals.

hit my goal
afraid to be triggered by eating in a social setting
procedure after eating as a guest?
Today, I woke up and weighed myself as normal. I hit my goal of losing 60 lbs today. I decided I wasn't happy yet, so I am setting another goal to lose another 10. This is a tremendous accomplishment for me as I am finally healthy and not struggling with binge eating anymore! I'm sure that my triggers will still be rough to manage. One of my biggest ones is social settings where I feel like I'm eating too fast or too slow. When I'm visiting at someone else's home as a guest, I never know what their routine is after eating. I've never figured out the right way to handle getting up after a meal at someone else's house, so I tend to monitor other people around me and watch how closely they are to finishing eating. Then, I eat to match their pace so that I can watch what they do after they're done to avoid doing anything stupid or awkward. After that, I watch them, follow what they did, and yeah. It's the easiest way for someone like me to not make a total fool out of myself. You might be thinking: Well, why don't you just eat at your own pace and put the dish in the sink? Some people think it is rude for a guest not to wash their own dish when they're done. So, wash the dish, right? That sounds great in theory, but I've done that before, and some people also think that's rude for some reason. I really don't understand, so I try to eat at home before I go anywhere. My favorite thing in the entire world is when people use paper plates because I can throw it away when I'm done and eat only as much as I want without a fear of wasting, eating too quick, eating too slow, or the after dinner dish panic as I like to call it. Anyway, I know I've gone on and on and on, but that's why social eating is one of my biggest triggers for binge eating.

Going to las vegas
hanging out playing minecraft
a little nervous for traveling
Today, I went to my grandparents house with my boyfriend. We are staying the night with them since we are flying out very early tomorrow for a family vacation/my dad's wedding. I'm excited but afraid to travel since I rarely leave my house. I have pretty bad social anxiety, and even around family, I have a hard time picking up on social cues and knowing what to say or do. I guess it's just something I've always struggled with, and I tend to fake this huge extroverted talkative personality to overcompensate for my insecurities. One of the main reasons I don't go out a lot is because I hate speaking to people. I dislike people in general actually. It isn't that I don't like talking to them, having them over, or even that I have a dirty house. Even if my house was clean and everything in my life was going well, I would still dislike people interacting with me. It's just because it's me, I guess. If I was any other person than myself, I might love to hang out with people. I even love phonecalls with close friends. The part that upsets me so much is how my brain makes me talk and talk and talk to try to make up for all the things I'm not picking up on in conversation. Anyway,I had a really good time. We ate a yummy lunch and dinner, and had a lot of fun together. I always love spending time with my grandma because she means a lot to me and she has a lot of great stories. We have decided to stay up until we leave for the airport at 3 am and play minecraft together! I've been playing minecraft since I was like 8 years old and I still play it almost daily. It's really cool that I found a boyfriend who also likes it and has been playing it for so long because we can play together now as adults. Hopefully I get home safely from my trip and don't feel too awkward around all the people I'll see. Viva Las Vegas!
