  4. Hello again lovelies :grin: this week has actually been kinda Rocky this week, but I finally feel like I'm getting a grasp on some things at work, and that makes me feel much more positive about the situation:P 

    I'm starting to realize that I really need to invest more time into my hobbies, that or find new ones. I just know that I'm not doing enough during my off time- I'm not creating anything or seeing anything different, I'm just crawling into a hole at night and peaking out through my stone tablet into the world of virtual Equestria ^_^ not that I don't love being here, I just need to read more, or play some of my backlog of games, or draw... Or maybe other stuff I've wanted to create 

    Either way I just know I need to take more time and invest in my own enrichment, :muffins: 

    also, here's a Interesting little track for you to muse over- it's like  medieval folk rock :ph34r:

      

    So how've you all been my sweet loving friends? :rarity: please do tell, I'm all ears <3

      Hehe ^_^ I actually do draw a little bit, but it's been awhile since I've done anything new :muffins:

      and I swore to myself I wouldn't go back to the saxophone until I had an instrument that was of good quality :lie: although I'm starting to miss it terribly 

  5. Hello again lovelies :kindness: sorry I want on again yesterday, I really just got caught up trying to do some things around the house

    But today when I tried to go to work, we ended up being blocked by flooding :o it's over three feet on one side of the road, and even deeper in the opposite direction about seven hundred feet the other way! I ended up having to get the other director from the East in building to fill In for me! :muffins: also we're having to close tomorrow due to having no staff that can be there, so we're having a heck of a time :sealed:

    I may not even be able to get to work tomorrow either, it's all crazy 

     

     

    But nevermind that, how're you all my wonderfuls? :grin:

Hello again my friends :grin: today went alright I guess, can't complain too much about how it went :) although I've been having a weird time with my phone, I just got a couple messages from Friday where my friends asked me to hang out and I missed it >_> I hardly ever do anything social, outside of socializing with you sweet ponies :rarity: but still, I miss doing things outside of my bedroom :lie:

      Hello! :D It was a good day in general, not the most eventful one but still enjoyable. :)

      I'm glad to hear your grandmother is alright. :kindness: I hope there won't be any more stressful things happening!

      I listened to that "Africa" cover – it's a good version (and it was interesting to hear how it came to be). And I loved Pokémon as a kid too – I've fallen out of the loop but I still have great memories from those days. :rarity:

      Hey Valencia! ^_^ Don't worry about it, sometimes real life and the forums are just too hard to juggle, you just have to put one down for a bit. :)

      For me, I've been doing well. But yesterday I got a sore throat and it hasn't gone better since, maybe it'll get better by tomorrow? :muffins:

  8. Hello again my sweet, considerate friends :adorkable: I'm sorry that I've worried you by being gone and silent over this past week, I've just been dealing with some issues that have strangled all my attention and thoughts away from anywhere but the situation itself.

    Last Sunday, one of the uncle's I'm the closest with had a severe heart attack that almost killed him- it's a miracle that he made it to the hospital at all. After them seeing the seriousness of the situation, that hospital sent him on to the hospital in the capital.

    My entire family's been sucked into this hole- my folks have been living in the waiting room up there everyday since, and I've just been here going through the motions at work whist trying to keep a handle on what I can do to help as well as watching this house.

     They took him into surgery yesterday to try and perform a quadruple bypass, but after getting into his chest cavity, they found his heart to be so diseased that they couldn't do anything for him.

    Only a third of his heart is alive, so after he's recovered from the surgery, he"ll be coming here so we can take care of him 

    I'm sorry to drop such grave news on you all, but I feel as close to you as any friends I've ever had- I value you, so I feel you should know what's been going on with me and why I've been gone. 

    I'll be getting more active again like I was- having been reached out to by my royal sister @Alexshy over discord, I was reminded of how positive and good this community and my friends here are, and how those thoughts and those people are the ones I need to be trying to spend my time with, especially during these trying times 

    It's easy to get sucked into a well of bad emotions and thoughts with this kind of thing, especially when I've had to deal with it before, so thank you all for being you, and don't ever stop being the wonderful ponies you are ❤

  9. Hello again my wonderful community ^3^ I've had a pretty good day, can't complain too much really :P It was a laid back day to end a strange week x3 now I have a complete weekend ahead of me and absolutely no plans for it :muffins:

  13. Hello my adorably sweet and cutie community :rarity: ^W^ Tha k you all so so much for the kind words, thoughtful eCards and silly pics ^_^:rarity: they mean more than you could ever realize :pinkie:

    When I came back to this community just a couple months ago, I was unsure of what I should expect or what I would even do here- my first time around, I had always felt a bit awkward and out of place, but now on the other side of it, I think it was mainly where my headspace was at as far as my life in general went, not this neighborhood :kindness:

    Since I've been back, I've felt like I've really built a small little community of my own here- a place I can escape to,where I can enjoy sharing thoughtful and sweet sentiments about life and it's goings on back and forth, and you're all a part of that :rarity::wub:

     

    So thank you honestly and genuinely for being who you are, cause to me, that's everything I've always wanted- not just on my birthday, but for every day of the year :kindness::wub:

     

    I have to go now- the family is taking me out to catch dinner and a movie, should be a nice time :catface: but I can't wait to come back and have more time with you all

    See you cuties later :rarity::wub:;)

  14. Hello my cuties :rarity: things have gotten a bit better, as today was a very chill and quiet day 

    i helped my mother organize one of her projects, ran my my grandmother her prescriptions, had a bite to eat at the best drive through chicken restaurant in town (how I wish there was a Zaxbys near me ;w;, but alas, I'll have to do with it's not as great cousin Popeyes >w< that only being my perspective and personal taste of course! :muffins:

    afterward, my oldest friend and his teenage brother went to see a flashback showing of home alone, which was absolutely wonderful! ^W^ although his brother hogged all the popcorn I'd bought ^_^

     

    Afterwards, we dropped his bother back off at home, leaving us to get back to his house where our other close friend was sleeping( not not for long after we'd gotten there! :love:)

     we had a superb time enjoying each other's company until I had to leave for home :D

    couldn't complain about this Sunday

     

    So how are all of you my darlings? did you have a pleasant day as well? :rarity:

      @Azure Envy you don't need to give anything other than what you did :rarity::D^_^

       

      @Nightfall Gloam I'll echo what I said on your update, hope it stays great! :pinkie:

  15. Hello my dear friends :rarity: well well.. today was certainly a bit more Wiley than would've preferred it! It all started off with two people calling off, then finding out that I would have to both run the building AND drive one of the vans to pick up the kids! :muffins:. But once I got to the building, I realized I'd misplaced the other vans key!! :angry: so not only did I have to pick the kids up, but I was the only driver during pickup period :lie:

    Luckily for me though, the head administrater on the other end of town drove over an gave me the spare, so driving the kids home was a non issue :) 

    I mean, overall the days wasn't too bad, but I'd lost keys, paperwork, supplies- I think I really would've lost my head if it wasn't screwed on tightly to my shoulders! :muffins::lol: 

     

    Tomorrow is when the real fun begins though- the main headquarters of our community centre is the main distributor for the five surrounding counties for toys for tots, so I have to be down there super early to help organize and give out over 1500 toys!! :blink::wacko: I can only guess how insane that gonna be!! 

    So tell me lovelies, how was your day? Whatve you been musing upon this fine evening? :please::grin:

  16. here's another thing about me you probably don't know

    I'm a huge fan of classic rock and funk, but more specifically

    I happen to believe Steve miller band is subjectively the cream of the crop when it comes to that eras music- they have a song for every mood!!^_^:pinkie::yay:

  17. Hewwo my darling pons :rarity: :D quick recap of the last two day would go a little bit like this: 

     

    yesterday was a wonderful and very chill day for work- Thanksgiving dinner went on without a hitch and I was a great evening being able to spend time together as one large organization- I feel the kids really enjoyed it, and much like our Halloween dance, I believe the staff had had as good a time as the kids did!! Couldn't ask for more :pinkie::catface: Although we did have the same situation that we have every time- running kids home from the complete other side of town isn't the easiest thing to do! :muffins:

    Also, ended up having a surprise hang out with one of my new friends!! ^w^ she and I went up to the mall to do a little bit of clothes shopping, then we caught some roast beef sandwiches on the way home :P I'm ever so thankful to have met her recently through one of my oldest friends- it's so cool to have people to hang out with! :D

    and as far as today goes, it was a bit crazy :blink::muffins: we had MORE kids than yesterday during the dinner, AND I was made super late by some road work I didn't know was happening :twi: it put me much further behind than I thought it would, and it set the day off on a stumbling uneven pace >~< not to mention the kids were all hopped up on excitement for next week

     

    and now I'm just lying here again, watching old law and order episodes >w<

     

     

    So what's on your minds my dears? How've you been? :rarity:

      @Valencia I understand that feeling, but sometimes it's OK to admit that you need to worry about yourself first and foremost, at least for a little while.  You have a very generous heart it seems Valencia, and that's a great thing, but generous people sometimes can fall into the trap of worrying about what they're giving to others first and foremost before considering their own needs.  Trust me, good friends around here understand that this place can't consume all of our lives or that we can't always be around for others.

      @Batbrony Thats probably the biggest issue I have in my life, I want everyone around me to be happy and that's always been my biggest focus, I'm trying very hard to learn that I'm important as well, thank you for the thoughtful considerate messages my friend :rarity:

    I really would like some feedback on this decision

    should I get a switch or upgrade my gaming machine? I have a plethora of PC games, and my only bottleneck is my Gpu (currently a 750ti)

    But I grew up on Nintendo games, and the idea of playing console level games whilst lying down or easily transported places is awesome

     

    What's your thought on this my little sweet community? :rarity::P

  24. Hey sweethearted friends :rarity: hope your day went/ is going well! 

    Today wasn't too bad, the kids were more chilled out from getting back into the school routine so it wasn't as hectic :muffins: 

    After that I went to the gym for the first time since the first of November- it's was nice to see that I could still do the same workout I had made my daily during those five weeks in late September :3 

    Decided to go to the gym inside of town instead of the town over- my reasoning for going fifteen miles one way out of my way doesnt exist anymore (my brother was a member, I was hoping I could exercise with him) so this new place is less than five minutes away from where I'll be moving at the end of the month o3o

  25. Hey wonderfuls! :fluttershy: hope everyone's weekend is going well! ^w^ 

    Random little bit of info for ya: 

    Wanna nice healthier frozen treat? Take a chocolate gram cracker, break it in half, then, put cool whip on one of the freshly broken halves 

    Put the other square on top of the whip gently, then freeze it 

     

    Boom! healthier ice cream sandwich :ph34r: make as many as you want and freeze em all at one time! 

    Also it helps to freeze them on trays, then put them in sandwich baggies after they get fully frozen :catface:
