Hey folks, miss me? Know who I am at all? Care?
I thought I'd drop by and say hi. Even though I'm not very active anymore I still think about you guys.
I've mostly been over on the tweeter making pixel art, and as usual I'm busy being a mom.
I actually had a bit of a health scare lately, thought I was having a heart attack, or multiple ones, but it turns out I was just drinking WAY too much coffee and destroying my insides, and when I stopped drinking coffee the withdrawal gave me SUPER INTENSE ANXIETY. So... that was exciting and fun.
Don't do drugs, kids.
How are you all doing? What have I missed? What's your favorite chip flavor?

@Q t e a p o n: Yeah I didn't really get a chance to say goodbye to anyone
My baby is a full blown little girl now. Its wild. She's got all the words and an attitude to match mine, lol.
Hows you? I miss your adorable piggies. Is that weird to say? idc I'm sticking by it lol.
I too love coffee and wish I could keep it up but after seeing what it did to my body to stop drinking it, I regret everything. There's a fun withdrawal symptom called "derealization" that's had me in a cloud for WEEKS. Its ridiculous. Plus headaches, back aches, anxiety.... buh. Narcolepsy will be so hard without it though

@Feral: Like format-wise I completely agree that the other is better. I want to customize everything. Its in my nature. but I also want to make money so twitter it is. The pixel community there is VAST, too, so thats real nice.

@Q t e a p o n: She's two but shes as big and smart as a five year old, or so I'm told. Other two year olds only come up to her shoulders. AND OH YEAH, I'm trying to freelance fulltime. Its a slow process when you're a sick mom.
Yay piggies, boo war. Thats such a scary situation and I'm so glad your folks are not hurt. I didn't realize that was home for you so I guess I'm a bad friend

@Q t e a p o n: I've thought about signing up for fivver but all my oldschool pixeljoint buddies say its not a great deal. I'm charging WAY more than five bucks, too lol. I'm totally worth it *flips hair*
Is Canada the magical wonderland it appears to be? I so want to move away from the US

@Ruby: SO, I have not completely quit coffee, I am trying to gradually reduce my intake... I accidentally just stopped paying attention and for at least three days had about 6/7 cups a day. Then I started getting chest pains which I thought were heart issues. I cut back to three cups a day for Week one, which was HELL. Anxiety, the world seemed nebulous, I couldn't concentrate, everything became difficult and scary. I'm on week two, three cups a day and they're half decaf. Things are less anxious and hellish, but I started getting horrible back and hip pains, and discovered I lost almost 20lbs in a month... so they're testing me for diabetes now because I did not plan to lose weight and usually the opposite happens when you quit coffee.... but I suspect that its because I also have had no appetite for a week so fingers crossed I'm not riddled with health problems

@Glume: yeah caffeine withdrawals are no joke. I’m sorry you’re going thru that :(

I hope thats all it is and not something more complicated.
I’m type 1 diabetic (diagnosed at 11) and I was in full blown DKA (diabetic keto acidosis) when we found out and I had dropped like 30 pounds. It was scary. I’m not saying you’re in DKA or anything to scare you, just that I relate to that

@Ruby: I get my results tomorrow, I'm both dreading and excited? Its weird. Healthcare here is such a crapshoot.


@Justice: WAIT, are there taco flavored chips or are we just talking taco fixin's on regular chips?
I'm down either way.
