selamat pagi .. and hello to a brand new year ( ´͈౪`͈) I meant to write a great, big thing, but I ended up watching Ponyo with my little sister. Ponyo is one of my favorite movies of all time, so it’s hard to focus on this blog!

Ponyo is such a comfort movie for me.. among other things are like Lu over the Wall, Children of the Sea, Wolf Children, Totoro.. and recently, I really like Turning Red.. (๑•∀•๑) I love a good magical animal movie! I wish that’s what my life was like..

Meanwhile, my sister hasn’t taken her eyes off of Ponyo. I think she thinks she is Ponyo.
 

Anyhow, it’s almost the New Year! 2025, the year of the Wood Snake is upon us!!! ✧٩(๑❛ω❛๑) 

Isn’t it exciting?!

 

Part of my New Year’s tradition is to clean up and take care of anything I haven’t finished yet, so that I can really have a fresh start when the new day comes! (,,･`∀･)ﾉ I hope I can find the motivation! I had a bit of a rough end to the year.. lots of good things came about too, but this Thanksgiving and Christmas were tough to enjoy, since I was trying to get back on my medicine. But there were lots of good times, too! I got my EDS diagnosed… my heart echo says my heart is healthy and normal… and I think I finally found out why my stomach has been bothering me so much! Lately, I’ve been watching my friends stream DBH a lot, and I love just having some cozy social time after I’m done with childcare all day.. (๑´∀`๑) My friends are really wonderful, so thank you all so much for making such a difficult year also such a nice one.
 

Next year, I want to work really hard at learning Japanese! I feel like I’m falling behind! I also want to do more exercise.. I’m excited to do aquatic therapy for my EDS! With each year that passes, my genetic condition will no doubt become more severe, but I want to do my best to work hard and stay strong and happy no matter what!

Next year, I also want to be a little more involved in working on my site.. It feels many aspects of my life have suddenly become cluttered and haphazard.. so, I want to fix it. (｀・ー・´)b It feels hard to work on my website if my room is messy and I have wayyyy too many tabs.. I will work really hard at learning lots of new things, and I hope I can also work on something to publish in the coming years, whether it’s my romhack or something about my catgirl spec bio… yeah!

 

AND FINALLY…
 

THE GREATEST TRADITION OF ALL…

YOU KNOW IT…

YOU LOVE IT…

LEMON PIGLET!!!

 

I told my therapist about this, and she was so tickled by it.. My mom makes a point to make one ever year, and it’s so funny.. Apparently, the lemon piglet has been around for a century! But it became popular again when someone found it in a cookbook from the ‘70s.
 

as you can see… a lemon pig is a must!
 

What are you doing to welcome in the New Year? Even if you’ve no one to spend it with — doing something nice for yourself today can make your entire year!! So, be really kind to your body, spend lots of time with friends and family.. and make a lemon piglet?
If you do end up making a lemon piglet, I would love to see it! Send it in so I can have a look! ٩(๑•∀•๑)۶ 
I’ll share mine tomorrow too hopefully.. I love you! (yes, you reading this!) Every single person who has supported me by reading my blogs, although I code and write for myself, you make it all worth it. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ I believe in you! Let’s carry on forward and be strong together!

update as i post this: i cleaned up a little, but my stomach started to hurt, so i think i'll finish it up and vacuum this weekend (when i have the house to myself). i hope i didn't let you down ^_^" i'm not super proud of myself.. BUT, i got new LPS in the mail so i was playing with my toys. it was fun! why don't you try a game from your youth you would play all alone? no matter how silly you look.. It'll heal and refresh you this new year's eve. I feel really good already despite everything. Tomorrow is going to rock and roll!
