I’m sorry for not posting here in a long time, things have been pretty crappy. It seems like every day just adds to me feeling worse. It’s times like these I wish I could just pop over to somewhere like Micheals or the Dollar Tree to get a cheap $1 coloring book…….but I can’t, and coloring books are next to impossible to find here.
I’m trying to keep this blog away from negative stuff, and other than that nothing has really been going on so that’s why no updates. I hope to get back soon π¦

I have really good luck. Really, really, really, good luck. I’ve lost my phone on the bus again, so no more posts until I ever get a new one so I can take pictures

I haven’t posted a proper blog entry in quite awhile, to be honest I just haven’t had the energy to. I’ve had pretty much constant stomach pain all week which makes me very tired, then working, then the Collin fiasco. We haven’t really gone out in preperation to save money to see Eli’s dad, thinking about going on the plane and meeting his girlfriend makes me scared too…. I started writing this post on Sunday night but didn’t have the energy to go any further so I’m finishing it now on Monday

Here is a puzzle Eli and I did the other day. Puzzles are usually too hard for me but it’s not so bad when we’re doing them together

Very sadly, Collin came, and needs to be returned. The seller will give us a refund so we just need to ship him back now. Luckily I’ve found someone on Facebook who is selling me another for 15, I hope that this one turns out better than the last. Having him end up to be a disaster just made things even worse for me. Mega fingers crossed for the next one
Here’s the pics of the “bad” Collin. I’m hoping the new one comes before the flight, I’d really appreciate having him here with me

We went out yesterday which was super nice. We went to Smyths and a store I’d never been in before called TK Max which I really, really l iked – it’s basically just a big discount store. There I got this 101 Dalmation street toy which was so exciting because I’ve seen pictures of these but never actually seen them in person

They also had this really cute dragon snowglobe there. In Canada I used to collect dragon ceramics, it’s something I’d like to get back into here. But now I’m also going to start collecting elephant ceramics too

At Smyths I got this magic coloring book for on the plane, it’s a bit hard to color with though since it only comes with limited markers

I guess that some things are too good to be true, I’m absolutely gutted having to write this. Which I know seems silly over a teddy bear – but this is a bear I have been searching years for, thought I had found a perfect replacement

My Collin came in the mail today, he was much smaller than I thought. He had a few brown stains on him, smelt bad, and the icing on the cake had a Β£2 price tag on him (the seller had clearly bought him for 2 and then sold him to me for Β£45)
β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π
Thankfully the seller accepted my return request so my little elephant is being sent back. I’m very sad but at least now I know that I like the fur and weight of the Jellycat brand and can look again for a large one.
This one is called Jellycat Piper elephant, I’m looking for 27 inches size (I think that’s how big it is) the one I bought was 14 inches and too small, so I want the next biggest one from that. My budget is Β£50 including shipping

Spirit Riding Free merch is pretty……scarce and dry here in the UK. But every so often I’ll go looking to see if there’s anything new to see. This post is purely for my own satisfaction – I realize lot’s of people don’t like Spirit Riding Free, so if you don’t please feel free to skip it. Seeing merchandise for the show just makes me beyond happy

Unfortunately a lot of the stuff on the site is out of stock, which really upsets me. I wanted to buy the water bottle and cup so bad, especially since I pretty much only drink water now, it would add a bit of happiness to that. Unfortunately none of the stores will deliver to our house and none of the ones near us carry them either. Honestly it made me really sad lol

Yesterday we were meant to try a different store to do our weekly shop at; Aldi. However the one we were meant to go to had been closed down. Instead we went to this gas station we’d been seeing online to get slushies. This was my first time having one, I think they were a bit too sweet. At least they had a Canadian snack; ketchup chips there!
β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π
This was what the reception area looked like, there was a kitchen too but I didn’t get a picture of it. It seems like it would be nice to sit in during the winter! A lot of the stuff was closed off (including the hot tub which we were really looking forward to using) but maybe we will come back again some day and it will all be open!

Here is what the outside of our cabin looked like, there was so so many spiders hanging around. This is a picture I got of one of them
β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π

β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π
Here’s some pictures from when we went around all the different walks and paths that they had there

β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π

That night there was really bad thunder storms, lightning hit really close to where we were – almost hitting us! It was a bit scary but also fun at the same time
β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π
The next day we found lots of baby frogs, we didn’t bring a bucket or anything (next time) so we sat with a few of them in a box
β€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘ππππβ€οΈπ§‘π

For our 4 year anniversary my partner booked us for a few nights camping / at a cottage sort of thing. I willΒ notΒ be online or replying to messages at all from theΒ 11th to the 13th.

Tomorrow Eli and I will be going camping / to a cottage for a few days for our anniversary (our anniversary is actually on the 26th of this month – not tomorrow). This was Eli’s anniversary gift to me. Apparently you can see badgers there and neither of us have ever seen a badger so that would be good. I hope that Eli’s foot isn’t too bad and we can enjoy it. I plan to not be online at all starting from Tuesday until Thursday so that I can properly have a good time.
Then a few weeks later we will be going to see Eli’s Dad. We are going to fly there and it will be Eli and I’s first time on a plane together. It will also be our first time both going to the airport where the occasion isn’t on of us flying back home.

My anxiety has been horrifically bad, this is what I get for forgetting to get my prescription. In return, without my anxiety meds, it’s triggering IBS flare ups for me, which the pain just makes my anxiety worse, they just fuel each-other. I do wish there was something I could have done to prevent IBS from ever happening, it makes me feel miserable. I’m in constant fear of the horrible pain from it, I can’t stop pushing on my stomach because sometimes I can spot the pain early if I do that. It’s mentally exhausting. I can cut out as much food as I want but that won’t stop it from happening when it’s stress enduced, and stress is something I have no control over. Obviously with BPD I get stressed / have high emotions very easily and often, maybe whenever mental health services become available again, treatment for my BPD might also work as treatment for my IBS. People say that 30 mins of exercise every day can help prevent it, Eli really wants a bike so hopefully some day we can both get one and use them everyday and that will help me.

Due to working we haven’t been playing too much Animal Crossing. I think that I’d play more but my Joycons have super bad drift and are next to impossible to use so I have to play on the TV using Eli’s controller. I would much rather be able to play anywhere like in bed since Eli likes to sit there often. It’s way, way too expensive to get new joycons, even to just replace the one is too much. So there has been next to no Animal Crossing for me : ( I miss it loads. There are so many other games on the Switch that I’d like too, an Oddworld game that I remember playing as a kid, and a Star Wars game just because I like that you can customize your character.

Sorry I have been silent the past few days. Along with the Twitter babyfur drama and no meds I haven’t been doing the best. I am very mentally drained. Looking forward to being able to go away tomorrow and not have to worry about anything online or any other sort of stressers that could be at home. We bought a security camera to look at Hiccup while were gone so hopefully he will be fine too. Thankyou so much for reading! π

I have no idea why but today I’m beyond tired so I’m very sorry if this entry is short. I’m not sure if it’s from taking too much of my IBS meds (they make me very tired) and it’s just catching up with me or something. Who knows. Yesterday we went to visit Eli’s Mom since it was his siblings birthday, I finally got to pick up two bears I brought to Build A Bear to be stuffed; Chase and Pusheen. Unfortunately due to Covid they need to hold onto the skins for 72 hours and we only go into Glasgow once a week so it takes awhile to get ahold of them. Hopefully I can get all the friends I brought over from Canada stuffed up soon.

My new friend, Tidepool came! I’m so happy! He’s extremely soft but for some reason (I have no idea why) I thought that he had a sparkly tummy, maybe I’m looking at the stock images wrong. Anyways, I’m so so happy that Build A Bear made a teddy of one of my top favorite animals π
This probably won’t be his forever outfit, he can only wear shirts of course. I don’t have very many Build A Bear clothes but this is what fits him best for now! Thankyou so much for reading! π
