Another little update.

Finally got some answers as to why I've been so exhausted lately. I've been diagnosed with an under active thyroid and an over active immune system. It has to do with a few things, my age, my previous radiation exposure 2 yrs ago and the stress your body can experience through perimenopause. Anyways, it's all manageable, thankfully!

I feel relieved that I have some answers and can move forward. It's a slow process though and once on the meds it takes time for your energy levels to return to normal and to make sure you are on the correct dosage. For now I'm taking it easy with everything.

So this is the welcoming gift I get for reaching mid-life?! 🤔😅😛 To be honest I'm in good spirits, and aside from being super tired at night, I am feeling slightly better. ☺️

Doubtful that I'll be back posting any time soon, but I'll still be lurking. 👀 Take care of yourselves! 🌷

A little life update...😴

Lately I've been playing sims when I feel like it instead of sticking to a schedule. I've been making over the premade houses again before I play each household but this time trying to only build/decorate with base game objects (since I'm starting in Willow Creek). It's been a challenge! 😅

As you might have noticed my posting style has changed. I've been trying to learn some new things in Photoshop. This new style will most likely just be for premade posts.

I've been struggling with some health stuff at the moment, also why I've scaled back on posting and playing sims, just haven't felt up to it. Perimenopause is literally kicking my butt right now. 😫😢

Even when you do all the right things like eating healthy, exercising, no alcohol or smoking, your hormones are still raging. 🎉🥳😣 I'm at the point where I feel completely exhausted at the end of each day and have become so disinterested & withdrawn from my hobbies and just everything in general.

I'm trying to be gentle with myself and keep reminding myself it's the hormones and this is not the person who I actually am and this phase will pass... eventually. I've reached out to my doctor and a specialist because it's affecting my quality of life. Haven't felt like this since I was last on meds for my breast cancer 2 yrs ago.

Anyways... enough of all that. 🔚

Hope you are all keeping well! I do miss being on here and will still be lurking. 👀🔎 Wishing you a nice weekend & take care of yourselves. 🤍🌷

Been doing some building. A little party venue (top left) to match my little church (top right). ⛪🥳 Pretty basic on the outside but is bright and colourful on inside, interior photos to follow.

Hey friends

I'll be taking a short break from Dear You posts. Got a few things going on in RL (and our dog passed away recently). As a distraction I've been playing the pre-mades again so might post about them for a little while.

Have a good week 🌷

The next morning Marcus woke up to the sound of horses neighing. For a moment he almost forgot where he was. Looking out onto the landscape he smiled and thought, I can see myself living here. Suddenly he felt a hunger like to other and knowing that he was already out of snack food, he rode into town and stopped by the general store. After satisfying his hunger he rode around the streets checking things out.

[memoirsofasim]

Marcus was feeling tired. He'd been biking for several days now and really had no plans of what he was doing. He was starting to think that maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

As he came around the corner an old run down ranch came into view. It didn't look like anyone was home so he parked his bike out front. He peered in through the windows and the place was empty except for a bed and desk. For tonight a wooden bench would have to do.

choosing to have hobbies regardless of whether you are good at them or not is so important. you don't live to do things well. you live TO live. that is the joy of life, living, enjoying, experiencing. what does it matter if you can't draw the way others expect you to? what if you can't sing like the others or dance or move like them. so what if you don't look like them? you don't live for their opinion, you live for your own enjoyment

🎵 Fairground music 😆

Marcus heard of Copperdale but until now he had never visited the town. He was a long way from home, depending on which route you took, and this whole bike trip was not something he planned. He just kept riding letting the Watcher decide where he should go. Luckily the Watcher likes to complete whims, so Marcus was given a short break from riding to enjoy the pier rides and some ice-cream. 🎡🍦

🎵 Running on Empty by Jackson Brown

Marcus rode and rode and made it to another quaint town, Henford on Bagley. He purchased a couple of fresh apples from the local produce stall and with his high level mischief skill he attempted to give Mrs Crumplebottom a taste of her own medicine, however she was more amused than disgruntled.
