Finally 30

 

I turned 30!

Birthday!

Well, since we last chatted, I celebrated my 30th birthday with some of my closest friends and it was a true fiesta for the ages. My awesome fiancé booked an all female mariachi group, my friends and family flew from across the country, and my nephew so generously let us use his home for the party! It was insane and lovely and so much goodness.

The crazy thing is, literally the day after I turned 30, my whole body ACHED. And every day since. Is this what 30 is? PAIN? Either way, I'm very happy and blessed to be hitting this age with people I love and adore. 

The whole family and friends

Also since then, Valentine's Day came around! This was my first year celebrating as an engaged woman, which feels so weird to say still, and instead of going all out, we decided to chill out after the crazy few weeks leading up to my birthday. (plus, gifts in this economy....yikes).

Jon and I celebrated by having some coffee courtesy of a gift card from my mom, eating our favorite takeout, and watching Valentine episodes of Bob's Burgers together with Leo. But I did still have to dress for the occasion.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and I will see you at the next post. :) 

Love always,

Back to MY Bubble

 

Hi friends.

With the state of the world the way it is, I really have been dealing with this inner turmoil. Social media has been so great in connecting us with friends and family alike, creating bonds across cities, countries, and more. And I am forever grateful for that.

However, I can't just sit idly by and pretend everything is fine. My existence is political. Reading, music, entertainment...it's political. 

So, I'm off. I'm off Facebook and Twitter and Threads and TikTok and Instagram. As of right now, my instagram is still available for resources but I've deleted the app. 

It's not much. In the grand scheme of things, it's the least I can do. But I refuse to sit on a website for "fun" that is owned by people who willingly take our country by money. Who stand beside those who do nazi salutes. Who see and invoke hatred, injustice, and ignorancs.

I can't. 

So I'm here. And I'll be sharing my life here instead. 

🧡 Love always,

Raineedayze

LOL Hiatus?

 

Wow...

It's been a while huh?

Well, the last post was in June of 2020 and we are in 2022. So yeah.

Let's chat.

So I started a new job, went through a crazy bout of depression and anxiety, celebrated a new year with my boyfriend and cat and honestly, I missed blogging. And maybe it's the new year, new me talking but I really missed just chatting and making posts about my life and then having it to go back on. So here are some photos of my love and life since then.

Maybe I'll talk more about life when I'm not living in the midst of it. But til then, I'll act like this is normal

Room Decoration: WIP

Currently redoing our game room and trying to display all my stuff and get rid of old unused stuff. I picked up these shelves from Amazon and they are super aesthetic and easy to put together. Here's one corner of the game room on my side.

I think it came out hella cute and fits my whole vibe. Here's my side so far. Ignore the books, I just need a place to put them and am running out of room >.<

I think eventually I'll paint the file cabinet baby pink or just cover it with stickers or prints to make it not so dingy looking. Right now the clutter is minimal which is so much better than it was but once I move the books and the green box of trinkets, I will be so much happier. :)

Also, big news coming soon! So be on the lookout!

Always, Raineedayze

5 AM Thoughts

Currently it's 5 AM and I'm having the hardest time falling asleep.

Why? No reason in particular.

So I booted up Haikyu!! on Netflix (of which I am OBSESSED) and decided to get to sorting out my thoughts the new fashioned way. On the internet, in front of strangers.

I feel like I have so many things I want to do, movies to watch, games to play, house to clean. And yet I never have enough time. I work 8 hours a day, and sleep 8 ish hours. So theoretically, I have 8 hours to screw around and get shit done.

Yet, I spend so much of my free time wondering what to do. Which wastes hours of me sitting in bed, dreading responsibilities and waiting for motivation to hit.

So that's something I want to work on this week. Just doing, not thinking, not dreading. Just doing.

So that's my thoughts for today.

Leo is currently pulling at my glasses so I think that's my cue to end this blog post.

Thanks for listening.

Always, Raineedayze

Things I Want to do Post Quarantine

1. Go to Target and buy useless items
2. See a movie at the Drafthouse
3. Get drunk at a bar
4. Eat at a sushi restaurant
5. Go to Half Price Bookstore
6. Spend a day at the library
7. Picnic in the park
8. Head to the mall
9. Grocery shop for longer than an hour

Literally just be outside my house without fear.


Always, Raineedayze 

We Love a Good Comeback

Hiii

It's been a while. 

This blog became more of a mishmash of other people's blogs and what would "do well" engagement-wise instead of what I wanted to do. Make an online journal where I share some of my life with strangers on the internet. 

So, I'm gonna change it a little bit. There won't be as many "series" type posts but I want to be able to share more of my personal life and stuff that interests me. So let's see how it goes.

In the meantime, let me update you. 

I got a cat!

His name is Leo and he is the most precious boy. At the moment he is staring at my WoW poster and hiding behind my monitor. He's truly made my life so much better.

I also started taking proper meds and feel SO GOOD. S/O to my doc for keeping me supplied and checking in during this pandemic.

Also, workwise, I got a promotion. I'm now a supervisor at my job and it's been a wild time. It's tough but I look back at the posts where I was searching for a job or working at a job I hated and it's amazing to see that time pass.

Life is a trip. 

But, alas, I must head on out now. I'm reading a really good book and I want to finish it before I start my shift today. So, I'll see you around the internet until my next post.

Always, Raineedayze
