Okay so this year just flew by really fast, seems just like yesterday I was celebrating 2017. Well, the year is almost at an end, and I figured I would post a kind of update/review on my 2017. A lot has happened, sadly most of it has gone by so fast I can’t remember every detail. I will remember to write this down in advance for 2018-2019. So, let’s start with the most recent, we had a secret Santa at work this year. I picked one of the cashiers who’s been there since I started. (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 something 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 and 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 it’s 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 somewhat 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 there worth it.
I can’t go without mentioning my boyfriend and I celebrated our 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 let’s 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 anymore. 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 than I have in a long time. Now I am not sure that it had anything 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 anything 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 it’s still fun to try. I also got back into cross stitching and started making a fox. It’s so cute, he’s nowhere near done so I won’t 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. It’s 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 actual Halloween. Everyone 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 sweater 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 me 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 anything 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 everyone else,
Have a very Meowy Christmas from your favorite crazy cat lady! And have very Happy New Year! Here’s to 2018! Cheers!
