Wow, it has been a very long time since I actually posted. I think about posting way more than I actually do. This blogging thing would be significantly easier if I could simply will a post with my mind when funny/entertaining stuff actually happens. When that's possible I will also probably be able to teleport to each client's home and will subsequently have tonnes of extra time each day to blog or clean or perhaps even do social things with friends. Or maybe I will also be able to will my house to be clean by my awesome robots. The future looks bright. I may just die before it actually happens since I am literally middle aged.
Anyways, Cousin Mikie commented about my lack of posts so I have been wanting to post something so if he ever bothers to check again he will see that I do care. But, what is post worthy? Hmmm.
Well, I finally found what I think and hope and sort-of-pray-if-I-believed-in-that-kind-of-thing the perfect dog walking bag. It is called the Runnur http://handsfreecarryall.com/. I tend to obsess over things just in case you don't know that already and this year I have being searching for a dog walking bag with little success. I have been using a re-gifted free sporty satchel type purse which has served me well, especially since I didn't have to pay for it. BUT I have been thinking about what would work better and imagining the perfect bag to address some issues that I have. My main problem is that when I have to bend over to pick up poop or pet a dog the bag will swing around and can end up hitting the dog which freaks them out, or dragging in the poop which grosses me out. I also needed a bit more space for busy days with a bunch of keys, extra poop bags, etc. I thought the sling pack bag may be the answer to all my problems but I couldn't find one that was compact enough. I don't need to carry stuff like text books and tablets and crap around all day, I just need a few key items. But, every sling pack I looked at were essentially back pack size, just without the extra strap. Last month I found a slightly smaller one at Target and thought it might work. But, it has proven to be problematic. It's well made with lots of great pockets but the 2 main pockets don't have any way to close and when it swings around stuff shoots out - I almost lost my favourite pen for example. There is one main Velcro strip to close the purse but it's not tight enough to prevent stuff falling out. It also still swings around like crazy and because it is bigger than the last purse it is more difficult to stop mid-swing. So, I started my googling once again for the perfect bag and suddenly came across the Runner. I ordered it last week and hope to have it by January. It's basically a really smart, thin, fanny pack that you wear cross-body. I am VERY VERY VERY excited. Admittedly I will also be VERY VERY VERY disappointed if it doesn't work out but I am hopeful.
I am trying to complete the Christmas quest on Sims Freeplay as well as get enough life orbs to build a dog park and amusement park. The Christmas quest is going OK, but usually what happens is that I get to 80 or 90 % and then the quest is over and I fail and miss out on the cool prizes. At the Thanksgiving quest I even finished the quest in time but the game told me I didn't because even it knows I always fail the quests. It was a bit creepy and made me furious. The life orb thing is what keeps me playing obsessively because I want all my Sims to die now and leave their life orb behind. It sounds awful but it's the circle of life or whatever, and plus they are not real. Man do I ever want to build that dog park.
Well, all that's left is kind of gross so read at your own risk. Since I am officially on the down-turn I believe I am suffering from 'perimenopause' symptoms because my period has been getting wonkier and wonkier all year. My last one lasted over 2 1/2 weeks and the last week was insanely heavy. I had one day where I was so freaked out and felt so tired that I finally made a doctor's appointment. The period started to end but the doctor put me on some progesterone pills to try to regulate it again and I need to go for a blood test and ultra sound after the holidays. The period did technically end but I keep having spotting. It really sucks but I don't feel awful so that's good I guess.
Merry Christmas and so on!
