Time for a change

     I have been stuck in a rut in life lately. Loss of motivation not wanting to do anything, can’t sleep, sleeping until 3:00 in the afternoon, stuff like that. Now, most people might call this depression but I don’t have the kind of money to go get it checked out so my solution to help was a drastic change.

     It is important to point out that I have very long and thick hair. I’ve had long hair for almost 8 years. Today I cut it off and donated it. It’s now as short as my chin–shorter than my chin on one side. It’s completely different than anything I’ve ever done and I think it might be what I need(what might help) 

     I still have mixed feelings about it. It looks good but it is so entirely different than anything I’ve ever done. I hope it will help.

Here’s to nothing!

Being an Adult is difficult. On second thought let’s not.

     One of the worst parts perks of being an adult is that now I get to worry about all the stuff my grandma did for me. Like going to the dentist for check ups. I’d been having some pain in my teeth and figured I should get it checked out. First of all, I didn’t even know how to go about even finding a dentist. Answer: Google  

I Googled “good dentists in[hometown]’ looked through some reviews and voila! Behold dentist! D: Lucky for me the office I wanted to go to was having a special for all new patients who were getting a cleaning and x-rays. $99. :( And because life sucks, that money came straight out of my own pocket.

     The nurse that was cleaning my teeth was really nice and explained everything to me. What she was doing, what I needed to be doing, how I should improve my brushing, things like that. After the x-rays came back the doctor came in– the tooth that was causing me pain had a filling that fell out and had since rotted to the root. I needed to have a root canal. What. The. Hell. 

I simply didn’t want to deal with it that day so I paid my bill, made an appointment for the following week and left for home. I cried the whole way home. Why? Because I was never taught to take care of my teeth properly when I was a child. Because of this I have cavities in every single molar and will need more root canals later. Sweet baby Jesus. 

     AND! Like I mentioned before all of this work is coming out of my own pocket. the root canal and crown were well over $1500. :( I never thought I’d hear myself say this but I am thankful that regular fillings are only $100-$200 each. 

     Long story short I am now hoarding Orajel and ibuprofen because I hate myself. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH. 

DON’T PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THE PAIN AND AGONY OF UNNECESSARY DENTAL WORK THAT CAN BE PREVENTED BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR FREAKIN’ TEETH. 

It is much much much easier to brush your teeth in the morning and night than it is to watch what you’re chewing because if you hit the wrong spot it’ll cripple your body and you’ll crumble into a ball onto the floor crying out, "WHYYYYY!”

Trying to find motivation; it’s not there

For the past several days, no weeks, months even! I have wanted to do several projects. What do I want to do? 

  1. Make and perfect my recipe for Fall pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes. 
  2. DIY my own makeup “battle station” (see: vanity) 
  3. DIY a patio table with an old table a neighbor threw away
  4. Perfect my Halloween costume. Note* I might not actually do this one because I don’t do anything for this holiday. Seriously. Last year I didn’t even hand out candy. 
  5. Re-paint my nails
  6. Dye my hair
  7. Bake cupcakes for a friend
  8. And something new I’ve added: build a new table. Now, keep in mind this is some Ikea shit. I’m no professional carpenter or anything. 

So. I have to somehow find the motivation to do all of these things while only getting 2-4 hours of sleep because for some unknown reason I contracted insomnia out of no where. The crap?

*sigh* Life is hard. :(

I'm a girl who works most time(not quite full-time but not quite part-time) In my spare time I like to browse mindlessly online on Reddit, imgur, sometimes Facebook; but mostly Reddit. What can I say? I enjoy sarcasm, and cute stuff. When I'm not scrolling and clicking aimlessly I like to do DIY things(i.e home improvement, home decor, various crafts, baking and lots more) I'm trying to get into blogging to further express and share the things I do and learn.
