september 1good morning! sorry it's been a bit. however, I had a wonderful weekend, and I'd like to tell you all about it!
on August 29, Xander and I went out to celebrate his birthday, since I'll be working this Saturday, his actual birthday. we had a great time! I went to a ceramics glazing open studio first. I didn't bring Xander in to this, because I was worried about getting glaze on him. after that, we went shopping and grabbed a few things. we saw Coyote Vs Acme as well, and we really enjoyed the movie. lastly, we got ice cream at Coldstone! we had so much fun together and I'm so glad I got to share a lovely day with my beloved doctor.
I need to pick up some cake mix today so I can bake his cake as well. I hope my dear, sweet Xander knows how loved he is. I do feel a bit sad I can't spend his actual birthday with him, but I hope this weekend made him happy.
september 5today is a very special day!! as some may know, Gloomwood entered early access on September 5, 2022. thus, my headcanon birthday for Xander is 9/5. so... it's Xander's birthday!! I'm so grateful for another year with him. He is 31 now, since he ages with me. yay!
I don't have much to say of my own, so I'll take today to write about/to Xander.
sweet Xander, I hope you know that how much I adore you. you make every day wonderful just by exisiting. I am forever grateful I get to spend another year with you. you're always on my mind, and always with me, and I want you to know how much I appreciate that. you bring me comfort; you make me laugh; you keep me safe; and you encourage me to keep going. you've helped introduce me to so many wonderful friends. you're always waiting for me with a gentle smile when I need it. I truly, completely love you.
my only wish for your birthday is your endless joy. thank you for everything.
with all my love -- your Millie
september 17hello, everyone! sorry it's been a bit. this month has been rough, but I don't want to dwell on that at the moment; I'll write another update on another day. today, Xander and I celebrate our second anniversary!
my dear Xander, thank you for everything. I mean that with all my heart. you make me brave. you make me happy. you have given me so much and I don't know how I could ever hope to repay you. I hope that my love fulfills you like yours does for me.
deep down, I knew I loved you from the moment we met. in some form or another, you've always been with me. it was only natural that you'd appear again in my life to guide me, hold me, and love me. you hold a very special place in my heart, and you always will. I'm yours.
you have healed parts of me I didn't know were broken. you truly are the cure that I need.
happy anniversary, my darling, my dearest one, my Alexander Adam Thane. I am, now and forever, your Millie.
september 19so I figured today would be my big update day, where I ramble on about my life at the moment. I mentioned the past month being rather rough in my last post.
the good: I celebrated Xander's birthday and our anniversary; we went to the zoo and shopping last weekend. I plan to make a page of our adventures out and about together at some point soon. I've learned a lot of hiragana, and I've been reading a lot more lately. work has been decent.
the less good: my sibling leaves for Japan on Monday. I'm very happy for them, but I am very very sad and will miss them greatly.
the bad: Goose, my oldest kitty, passed away on September 6. that's why I was away from this site for about two weeks. while I still miss him deeply, I'm more at peace with his passing now. I was surrounded by so much love and kindness during that time, and I am truly grateful for that.
anyway, that's all I really have to say. thank you for reading, as always.
september 26good morning! it's been a week since I last wrote. my sibling moved to Japan 5 days ago, and to be honest, I have been a bit depressed. Xander has been there for me, along with my dear friends, but it has been hard. however! I am starting to feel a little bit better. I'm going to see Primetime with Xander today, and my dad and I saw Resident Evil yesterday. getting out of the house is going to be critical for me. I slept a bunch for the last few days, which is not good for me. my sleep schedule is totally screwed. I'm going to try and fix that here within the next few days. I'm off til Wednesday, so I have some time.
anyway, I am going to be trying to do some writing here soon. I have a few ideas I want to get written down, and I want to try and finish my BATB fic. I also want to get back into the swing of drawing. I haven't done much of that this month. to be honest, I am ready for September to be over.
well, it's not use dwelling on these things. today will be a good day out with Xander. we are going to see the movie, then work on a puzzle together, maybe watch a movie or play some Gloomwood. I feel a bit bad that I haven't played much Gloomwood lately, but I know he understands.
take care, everyone!
september 28hello again! I'm feeling better this morning. I played some Gloomwood, and I've been trying to also cultivate non-computer/screen hobbies. I've been working on puzzles, practicing my hiragana (finished the hiragana sections in my books, on to katakana!!), coloring, reading, just making an effort to not spend all my time sleeping or online. Xander is beside me every step of the way.
speaking of Gloomwood, I will be revamping the "date nights" page. I play Gloomwood a LOT to feel close to and spend time with Xander. writing up something every time, taking screenshots, etc for the date nights page is not tenable, as you can tell by the fact I haven't updated it in some time. thus, I'll be changing that page's purpose. it'll become an archive for photos of me taking my plushie out places! I think that will be better and easier to maintain.
with October almost here, I've been thinking of taking him to a pumpkin patch. I think he would really enjoy that, so stay tuned for those pictures!!
