Somehow I managed to go through my entire recovery process without writing another blog post, lol. I tried at one point, but my heart wasn't in it; I think I just need to be more mentally stimulated to write, and I was not often feeling mentally stimulated during my two weeks off. I kind of feel like I didn't spend them as well as I should have, but...it's over now. What can you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wish I'd made more of an effort to collect the more disturbing/weird movies and shows that I want to watch but my boyfriend doesn't, since I had so much alone time. Sad.

I've been back to work for twoish weeks at this point, and it's been fine. Nothing really new to report on except that I'm glad to be "doing" something with my day again. I've been pretty unsatisfied with the outfits I'm wearing to work after spending so much time in just sweats and pajamas, which is a bummer, because I should be feeling better in them now. Everything is just so...baggy. I also hate my hair, but that's another story lol.

Oh! But I did FINALLY update my shrines page!! It looks SO much better now.

Here's how it looked before:

And here's how it looks as of this writing:

Just...a massive improvement, functionally and aesthetically. I'm not too crazy about the text going on the bottom bar thing, but it's the best I could think of. The whole thing is modeled after this random screenshot from some game(?) menu I found on tumblr:


(Clearly the middle logo is...almost a direct copy lol)

If anyone knows what this ^ is from, please let me know!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to working on the site again. I've been struggling through the "childhood nostalgia mmorpgs" shrine for a looooong time, but it's definitely a priority. And with the shrine portal page revamp all finished, I feel like I have more mental energy to spend on that project.

I've been failing my physical journals lately, but doing well on the site. I hate that it seems to be either/or! @_@
