— reflecting

its the year end! I can't believe how fast November went. I have a lot to catch up on here on dreamwidth for updates. I've been mostly quietly lurking on people's updates without much to say myself.
I journaled about this a bit last week, but I think I want next year's theme to be about discipline and fun. I haven't had a good writing session since that one but I think it's a topic I might morph into something for posting. I have a clay retrospective I'd also like to write detailing my adventure into wheel throwing this year, as well as future plans for it. maybe instead of weekly report I should just do a life update?

— enjoying

our new puppy, yuki! we got a shih tzu and she's white with champagne colored ears. shes so rambunctious- its a lot of fun to have her around to see what shes going to get into. she does make koko and lili pretty upset though.
mom also brought home some locally grown pecans and I keep walking into the kitchen to eat a couple at a time. theyre so fresh!! plus they came already shelled.. hoping mom will make brownies with them... in the same vein, we also have a bunch of farm fresh eggs and breakfast, post workout, is made so much better.

— playing

playing lots and lots of games- honkai: star rail and homicipher are the big ones right now.. but I'm considering zenless zone zero as well as infinity nikki. I did download ikemen villains a bit ago but ellis' route isnt even out in english and his was the one I wanted to play. hsr is fun in that I'm actually trying to learn how to play meta this time around... which makes me want to revisit genshin sometime soon. unfortunately, it makes me want to GAMBA (dorky way to say gamble via my little brother and his gamer friends) which makes me want to .... buy pulls for the master stroke..... this post completely ruined me... I have no one to make this joke too... plus I missed robin... but I already have aven and sunday.... so why not jing yuan too.... sigh... I want to build fun teams.....

— obsessing

online shopping........ I want to buy a little makeup kit that I swatched at Sephora, these pin boards I had my eye on forever that are now on sale AND a curio cabinet case, a discounted vlogging camera, deco stickers... ok really thats it but i dont need any of this stuff!!!!! I wish my shopping mania would end...
as I'm writing other parts I remember the TWO fancy manicure sets, the fancy bodywash, the perfume trio and hand cream, a cute lightweight crew neck for a workout out I want to build, new shoes... the list goes on and on and on and on...

— recommending

:scratches head: I've been floating for a while so no good recommendations... the only thing of value add I've done is decide to invest in a set of basic underwear and socks.. so... go get yourself some basics and simplify your life a bit........

— treating

I bought a new lamp for my desk and love love loveeee it! struggled to find a bulb (but eventually got it!) and it's been so niceee. I put off buying a desk lamp because I knew I wanted a specific style but didn't know how it was called. but I saw this one in store and it was perfect!! I really need to do a proper desk upgrade... I also want a laptop riser and maybeeeee a mechanical keyboard... but I also told myself I'd wait until I built my pc... but that is still on the to do list....

— encountering

lots of task resistance lately. room has gotten unbearably messy again, I have some out-standing tasks I really need to take care of (shipping a package, getting christmas gifts, finishing up grad school apps, double checking medication orders)... I'm not sure where the load bearing pin is, but this stack of tasks is slowly becoming unstable. I'm sure the procrastination is downstream of something else... but I've yet to figure it out. I haven't really sat with the problems quite yet either... something to consider I suppose.

— restoring

we took a couple of extra rest days this week from the gym. I've been trying to be more consistent with my water intake too.. restoring has not been high on the priority list though- definitely could use a little more love in the restoring department

review

okay so life updates. lets see when was the last time I checked in? woooof goodnight. end of september. hrm. well let's see. currently working on my last two weeks at my current job because I got a new one! it came with a pay raise too, so I'm excited to get started. at my current job we are short staffed, had a leadership change, and our operating hours changed too. finished up a pottery course and took the open studio but I haven't made very good use of my time. made a bunch of new friends. celebrated mahoyaku 5th(!!!!!) anniversary, started playing hsr... did the entirety of the JD Next course, got accepted into the grad certificate program

hrm hrm what else what else? I think that's about it as far as big things? anyway. I want to ramble some about other things on my mind.

I wanna make some kind of game tracker/friend code storage place.. not sure where to put it here on dreamwidth or on listography? also want to make some goals for 2025- themes of the year, moodboard, achievements, projects, etc etc. really desperately need to clean my room and do laundry.. and just iron out stuff in life blagh. nothing is really too hard to take care of I've just been so ??? lazy??? isn't really the right word but just not wanting to do anything at all! I haven't been writing much, I play games when I come home.. but guah. I need to make some progress on basic stuff. maybe I need to do a mini gameification challenge.. hehe.. better yet I should assign all my wishlist items a task and I can't buy them until I get the task done!! hahahaha!~
seriously considering this though: make up set for mailing package, pinboard each for my grad apps, vlog camera for tackling clothes mountain, curio cabinet for cleaning my desk, manicure set a for cleaning up my email... am I ridiculous person...
started thinking about spotify wrapped and what all I achieved this year.. maybe next year I'll make a project log kind of post.. ugh. I'd really like to also do a monthly recap of stuff.. gyah gyah gyah.. silly silly girl.
I'd also like to write more essays next year. I want to post stuff! keep trying stuff! I want to tackle all kinds of fun projects and hobbies. also would like to do some tagging updates to things here on dw, create a better intro/pinned.. sigh... work on the website... make things more cohesive.. extremely tempted and desirous of a custom domain... haha.. maybe I actually launch the zoomieyo studios brand! everything falls under that anyway. it could be fun to create a brand deck for zoomieyo.. concept it out finally.
I also want to start sketching/drawing everyday... I wanna draw my skrunlies... rutile and aventurine... wanna make lil doodles n things..
always want want want with me.. one day I'll just act on things instead of thinking about them all the time.
