Vlogmas 2018 – Week Two: Editing, Life, and Doggos Galore!

I am so behind in uploading last week’s Vlogmas video. Ack, sorry ’bout that. I hope you will forgive me – at least a bit. Last week, towards the end and bleeding into this Vlogmas week, things have been rough with several migraines and flares … and then the EXTRA fatigue that comes along with those. #spoonielife 

Last week wasn’t terribly exciting except for the fact that I gather up all the gumption I could muster and live-streamed a makeup look on Instagram. Huzzah! I later blogged about it – which you can read about it and see lots of pretty pictures here. Oh, and I played some video games which are always fun, even when the folks who are playing on the other end are sore losers. Wah wah. If you are on XBOX and like to play Halo, lemme know!

I was actually very happy that it’s the first week that Mr. Chaos is back in our little domicile. The puppyducks were also very thrilled that he was back as well – since they are very fond of him. For reasons… obviously. You’ll see Charlie being extra affectionate to both of us because he was so happy that both of his hoomans were under the same roof again. 

Other things that are in the works:
 –  I am planning my Patreon launch, which is daunting and exciting and nerve-racking … but I know it will be worth it.
 – Planning stuff for 2019 in general, but I will go more in-depth with things to come in the coming weeks *COUGH COUGH THERE WILL BE A VIDEO COUGH COUGH*
 – … maybe I’ll even walk you guys through my 2019 bullet journal setup. 

I’ve got lots of content that will be coming out in the next two weeks as we count down towards the end of 2018. I want to end the year with a bang and get you guys amp’d up for 2019. 

One thing that you probably noticed but I didn’t talk about much in this past week’s video is the fact that I’m not very up-and-up / happy. As someone who faces off with those stupid depression gnargles on a daily basis – even before throwing in spoonie-related depression bits, the holidays tend to hit me a little harder than other times of the year as it is. This year, in particular, I am really missing all my family back home in Oklahoma – especially the little ones… and unfortunately, we won’t be able to travel back any time soon due to silly adult responsibilities and funds.

On top of all of that, my birthday coming up in January, eek the big 3-0, I’m struggling a lot with self-doubt and all the BS that comes along with that. I might touch on that in a later blog post, but I haven’t decided. So, with that, if I seem down in this video and probably in next week’s vlogmas video, that’s why. Mental illness is a bitch. 

Another thing that is currently fluctuating is my sleep cycle. As I’m writing this, it’s completely flipped around – which is what happens when I have bad flare days plus migraines… it throws everything off. Now, I am more of a night owl by nature, which is fine and I like it for being creative in the middle of the night – but this also means that I don’t get to go out and do fun stuff in the daytime either.  I’m going to try and flip it back around in time for Christmas, but we will see. 

I will just keep taking things one day at a time. 

Alrighty, Dah’lings – that’s it from me. I hope you are enjoying my little foray into vlogging with my Vlogmas 2018 weekly videos! I would love to know what mischief you are getting into this month, so leave me a comment below and tell me all the things!
