(As a side note I have been working at this place for three years as of December 20th 2017) She wanted candles so I bought her what I thought was some good smelling ones. I can’t remember the scents but they were along the lines of apple, cinnamon, lavender some thing like that. My secret Santa gave me a GameStop gift card. I had a feeling it was going to be that, it was a 50/50 of it being GameStop or Barnes’n Noble gift card. I kept it simple. I also got a Cute Caticorn Blanket and TY beanie babies from my two nephews. Which are so adorable and soft. My nephews know me too well. Haha, I like cats and unicorns and ty beanie babies. And well that’s what they got me. I love them. Got a gift card from Sis and her husband, money from the parents. I had a good Christmas. I am glad its over, only because I am ready for work to go back to normal. 2017 has been a rough year for me at work. I won’t get into it much because I don’t want to get in trouble for some of the things I might want to say. So I’m just going to keep my lips sealed on this one. Work has been some what okay, mostly just stressful, I work in customer service and who ever came up with “The customer is always right” must have been high. I am just going to leave it at that. We’ve had many come and go, I just start to make a new friend at work and they either transfer, quit or go to Walmart. TRAITORS!!! I did make one new friend who is now my bestie! Love you! If you’re reading this, you and my other friends at work make working at there worth it. I can’t go with out mentioning my boyfriend and I celebrated out two year anniversary in July and are on to year three. Here’s to many more! Love you!!! Erm *cough* Anyways, I have had many health issues, nothing too serious. I’ve just haven’t been feeling myself this year. I know I started off the year pretty bad, I was going of some medication (birth control) and it made my mood all weird and wires got crossed, and lets just say I had some anger issues and some depression. I am good now though so no worries on that. I have been feeling very tired and lethargic, I’ve had chronic headaches for so long I had no idea what was going on. At the start of December I made the decision to cut caffeine. I have been caffeine free since Dec. 02, I have been trying to drink more water and taking Vitamins. I read an article about Vitamin D deficiency, you can read the article here: Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency   I learned  a lot of my symptoms fell under this Vitamin D deficiency. And so the last few days I have been taking it. It has made me feel so much better. I also have Melonie Mac for making me aware of “caffeine allergy”. I was watching one of her streams and she talked about how she has it and she can’t drink caffeine any more. Now I am not saying I have it but I thought I would give it a try. And with both the no caffeine and more Vitamin D I feel better then I have in a long time. Now I am not sure that it had any thing to do with caffeine but I have been wanting to cut down on it for like two years anyways. So this was the perfect excuse I needed to finally quit. Course I might go back to drinking it just not as much as I was. I will keep you guys updated on my progress. So that’s the reason I haven’t been updating my youtube page with videos or doing any thing with my website. I just lacked the energy and motivation to do anything. I hope that 2018 will be different though. I have also gotten back into arts and crafts, I have been trying to learn how to make friendship bracelets. I am failing horribly but its still fun to try.  I also got back into cross stitching and started making a fox. Its so cute, he’s no where near done so I wont post a picture now. I also got back into my writing again, I missed it so much. I am rewriting a story I started a few years ago. Its about two people who grew up as friends and both try to make it in Hollywood. I don’t want to give too much away yet. I will give out more detail as the story goes on. I got to cosplay as Lara Croft for work for our Kids night out event. I was so happy with this costume. I had been planning it for months, I bought this off of amazon. I didn’t want to destroy it and make it look dirty so I left it as is. But I did end up doing her injury on her hand and arm. I got annoyed because very few people realized it was part of my costume and they kept asking if I was okay. I was like I didn’t hurt myself its part of my costume dumb idiot hehe. But I had so much fun I got to be Lara Croft for a day. I went as a Cat for the actually Halloween. Every one at work calls me Kat so I thought it would be cute. Speaking of cats, this was the shirt I got to wear Friday, Dec 22. They were doing an ugly sweaters for Christmas and I just couldn’t resist this one. A few smaller things that happened this year, I got more tomb raider books to add to my collection, I got my an xbox one. Which was totally worth the 330 bucks I spent on it haha. That’s about it for this year that I can remember anyways. If I remember any thing I’ll add them in later. I hope 2018 will be a much better year for me, I hope I have good friends coming with me through 2018. To all my friends, family, co-workers, visitors and every one else, Have a very Meowy Christmas from your favorite crazy cat lady! And have very Happy New Year! Here’s to 2018! Cheers!]]>
