What have you finished reading:

Astro City Vol. 17: Aftermaths by Kurt Busiek (Author), Brent Anderson (Illustrator) - the last part of this comic was a story about a support group for victims and bystanders of hero-villain conflict. the main group leader was a victim of a time loop thing, where in order to prevent a crime a hero made it so that two people hadnt met so his wife was never born. but there was no way to confirm this, the group leader could have just gotten off on everyone elses grief.

What are you reading:

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris - this story is about a young girl who loves horror stuff and her life. She lives in uptown chicago, which is where i used to live, so it keeps blowing my mind that i keep recognising buildings and places in the story. This entire book, art and story, is done by own person. And its just mindblowing because the art style is really elaborate, done with pens, sharpies, color pencils as if it was a the kids journal but also with just a ton of intricacy and detail. Its a two part book though. Im near the end of the first one and I hope I dont get left with a terrible cliffhanger. i cant imagine the amount of time it took to write/draw this. If you like comics, check this one out.

id been in a funk lately i guess.

So, ringworm and the cats. thats been "fun". On Monday they both got sulfur dips. Blue is on anti-fungal medicine. Skittles is too fragile to be on antifungals. So we're just giving her lots of sulphur baths. on top of that, We had to bleach everything, and I mean everything in the house. And we have to do it, well the vet wants twice a week but thats never gonna happen. I can do it once a week tho. But man it sucks.

Friday I was feeling sad and lonely and bored and anxious but frustrated. I just watched movies. I watched Her Smell which was okay, but not what I wanted it to be. I finally saw American Psycho which is a fantastic movie.

Saturday I went to a dad jokes competition with mike and j. after that, i did some shopping and got a pair of black overalls. did you know, like, i absolutely refuse to wear blue jeans. ive always hated em. black or grey are my go-tos. After that, i went to PWR. I had bad anxiety all day, so it was weird that I had a good time at PWR.

Sunday Z and I went out to Todds and had dinner with him. It was a good use of Fathers day. AFter dinner we went to his place and his swordtail guppies made too many babies so we took home about 8. Some of them were too small and got eaten by the bigger fish but all the medium ones made it. By the way, the brushy algae in the tank is almost clear and Im pumped about it. Both our tanks are looking really good. In a few weeks we'll buy some big plants for the tank and it'll look awesome.

Yesterday in class i was able to invert in the air again. its only the second time that has happened but im pumped about it. Im getting there. Im getting stronger and stuff.

Last night I noticed the floor around my A/C was warped. So my landlord swung by to fix it. It was an easy fix.

But he mentioned that after his run-in with the cops oh, like, 5 months back, he's not felt comfortable here. downtown is expanding into the neighborhood and it isnt quiet but mostly he just feels like its not his home. So he's selling his stuff off and moving to California. He intends on selling the back lot in spring, and our place about a year after that.

Im pretty upset. I love this place. And we knew we were never gonna be able to buy this place or afford it. But I also just love it here and don't want to move. I think I'm jsut in a period of mourning. Z and I still dont know if he's going ot get hired at Oddwood or what so I dont even know what getting pre-approved will look like, but we'll start looking into housebuying.

So that'll be a headache. lol.

but yeah ive still been sad, insecure, down. i dont think its permanent. my hormones have been terrible this month. i also hadnt slept for like 3 days before. today i feel a little better having slept. but i had to use sleeping pills to get there.

today ive just been eating junk food. i dont know if its helping or hurting *shrug*

ok i guess thats it for now.
