Mittens and some normalcy
Today was nicer than most others, I got to stay home and did get to see a doctor which set my mind at ease even if I do have to wait for monday for the results it is certainly better than doing this without knowing when or how I will receive help. After the doctors visit I stayed home and remained in my room as I used to before all of this, it is actually my first time being alone for an extended period of time and I haven't had any overwhelming anxiety. I was well enough to even read a bit and play my games which felt nice, and reminded me of the comfort I used to get back when things were normal.
I say normal but apart of my worry is that I'll never be the same, that I wont be able to snap back to whats "normal" after a simple surgery. Instead I will forever be changed and scarred, looking back into how things once were, I know with time I will eventually adjust but will I do so fully?
It's uncertainty that I never really liked but at least things are looking a bit better through this rollercoaster of ups and downs. At least Im ending today off peacefully with a nice read and in my fluffy jacket.
Take care, stay warm, and have a nice time - Mittens 3/28/2025
@mittens8774
That's good, yahh fluffy jackets/hoodies are great!
@7Bear7
They are! I love to sleep in a blue one that is way too big for me but just so nice
@mittens8774
Ahhhhhh, jelly! I have a super worn out zip up but it isn't comfortable to sleep in, everything else tho, perfect!
@7Bear7
It could always be an extra blanket :3
@mittens8774
Hmmmmmm, dats smart! :3
@7Bear7
I do it sometimes whenever I dont wanna sleep in it, I'll lay it over the blanket and stay warm when it gets so cold here
@mittens8774
Super smart, might do that, but I also got a weighted blanky for that too? Hmmmmm, what is a Bear too do?
@7Bear7
You could lay on it as well :3
I would also suggest a fluffy hat as well! they aren't always comfortable to sleep in but I got an ushanka and I love it because it is very nice and warm, Ive also brought it out to do all sorta things from out on snow days to camping uwu
@mittens8774
Ahhhhh sooo cool! Nya
Yah I do lay on it too, it is kinda lumpy?(Maybe not quite the right word) Because of the weighted beads, so can be super comfy!
Also need to get a beanie or something.
@7Bear7
I wanna get a weighted blanket myself, they seem so nice and comfy. I currently have a cooling blanket which is weird in a nice way because it feels cool like that of under a pillow but also still warm and comfy especially as the night goes on
@mittens8774
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's sounds sooooooooook gooooooooooood!
I am from Texas, a cool blanket would be my life! Lol
@7Bear7
Do you know if they combine the two kinda blankets? I know I would buy it if there were :3
@mittens8774
Either look up weighted cooling blanket or luxome and you'll see one.
I just looked it up and really want one now!!!!!
Those would be lovely ~w~
Also the gifs are cute! :3
@mittens8774
Yahh definitely putting da blanket on my non existent to buy.
And yahh I love da anime gifs, that show better emotions and are super cute! ^ ^
@7Bear7
I like my little emoticons and cat faces :3
Also is it getting late where you're at? if you dont mind me asking
@mittens8774
Uhh it 8:30 pm here in Texas, it think that was what you were asking?
And I am about to eat so may be delayed in replying?
@7Bear7
That's alright and I just wanted to check in, we're on about the same time :3
I kinda planned to stay up and wanted to know if you'd be around for a bit, I wouldn't want to keep you up though but I do plan to stay up
@mittens8774
Alright, sounds cool! I will probably be up for awhile anyway.
@7Bear7
Yaay! ^>^ ✨Late night pen pals uwu✨
What are you gonna be up to tonight? :3
@mittens8774
Idk, maybe drawing, just kinda getting ready for bed slowly.
@mittens8774
What about you?
@7Bear7
I'll probably be watching youtube and playing my space sim game :3
@mittens8774
Noice noice!
Sorry I took so long had to help deal with a copperhead
@7Bear7
That sounds scary! Are you alright?
@mittens8774
Yeppers peppers, I am great. He was one stubborn snake but my dad shot him with my shotgun. Then we cleaned up. It happens every so often when you live in da boondocks. Lol 😂
@7Bear7
Ive always lived in a massive city but I think it sounds nice to be out that far even if it comes with some risks. I love going out on like week or so long trips into the back country or woods to camp either with my friends or to enjoy the sights by myself
@mittens8774
Sounds nice, I wish I had gone camping more than I have but I am content with it! What do you like about hiking/camping?
@7Bear7
Hey can we continue our conversation here? I can only see one letter per line now😭😭😂😂😭😭
@7Bear7
Lol sure, there are a lot of replies.
Honestly I enjoy the peace and feeling of being in that moment without a worry about time or other life things but just surviving and enjoying the time :3
@mittens8774
It's definitely a nice feeling, I also just like the beautiful sites. Nature is so pretty.
@7Bear7
It is! It does get rough out there sometimes but I kinda enjoy that as well, like a soggy sleeping bag and slogging through mud isnt nice in the moment but feels more rewarding to look back to
@mittens8774
I get that, looking back on what you went through especially with friends/family can be a great feeling. You like hammocks?
@7Bear7
I love hammocks! Although I have only really been in one on a trip and there aren't many around but I do want one :3
@mittens8774
Yahh I like em enough I slept in one for a year or two straight, my dad set one up in my old room, and after seven years we finally set it up for my new room!!!
@7Bear7
On the topic of sleep, Im gonna write today's entry then go eepy. Hopefully you have a good rest and thank you for talking :3
