The Sims 4 and Other Randomness  Indefinite Hiatus as of October 10, 2017

December 30, 2019

So, I don't know if anyone will see this or read this. 2019 was a rough year to put it lightly. Earlier this year, I was in a relationship that I thought was going to last the rest of my life, we were together almost 3 years, it ended in June. I had just started my new job which has been one of the good things out of 2019. My dad had surgery twice this year on his kidneys. My cat, Ziggy, passed away October 30. He was only 14 months old, Feline Leukemia is a bitch. When I told my ex, he was on a date, when it rains it pours I guess. After my breakup, my agnostic, liberal leaning self moved home with my hyper-religious, conservative parents, I felt like with my mental state I definitely don't want to live alone throwing money at rent, I'm currently saving to buy. But everything is in storage except my clothes, stationary, bath stuff, and a few other things. This includes my custom built gaming desktop, I don't have the space at my parents house. All I have now is my laptop, its newish but not the best for gaming. I finally went into my game Sunday and I wanted to just enjoy playing again. These are unedited laptop photos so they are not great. But I have missed this family so much. Part of the reason M&M are elders is because I want to try to do a rough finish of Montgomery's story. I feel like I want/need to finish it. I have it all planned out in my head but I don't know how long it will take especially on a laptop. Also, things have a way of not working out the way I want them to. Anyway, I don't know what else to say. Happy New Year and Best Wishes!

I am very near-sighted and I have a corneal dystrophy in my right eye (Map-Dot Dystrophy or Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy if you're curious). My glasses help the near- sightedness but nothing the do to help the dystrophy. The vision in my right eye is blurry even with my glasses. I also struggle focusing visually. I really struggle to see the computer screen. I am not a fan of the new dashboard. 

Also, I thought the adult content ban was supposed to get rid of porn bots. Why have my last few new followers been porn bots?

Four external hard drives. 6,469 posts. 17,305 screenshots, snips, and GIFS. But I am finally done back-saving and backing up my old posts. Now on to organizing my CC.

Happy Tuesday?!

I turned 34 Sunday, confused about what day it is, and all the pictures I took on my birthday were pictures of the cats. I felt like being lazy on my birthday. In short, I'm getting old and embracing the cat lady lifestyle.

Anyway, on to the point of this post, I've been going through my old posts to save the screenshots. Well Saturday I was working on it, I had 20 posts left, and my external hard drive started making a clicking noise. And I've been unable to revive it. :::facepalm::: I can't believe this process has taken 3 different external hard drives or is it 4? It would definitely be 4 if you include the one that broke that started this.  Montgomery's lucky number is 4 so maybe external hard drive #4 will be the final one. Luckily, I only have to go back and resave about 100 posts plus the 20 I had left but still its frustrating. The total number of posts according to my tumblr homepage has changed too, and its more than I remember seeing. I'm not sure if some were missing or deleted when I first went through or if I'm going crazy and it's about flagged posts having a new home.  So a lot of rambling to say that I need to go back and just review to make sure I have everything saved. The biggest loss of another dead hard drive is I just got my paystubs off my work computer over Christmas. They are online and MIGHT be backed up but it will be a pain to resave them.

But back to saving the old posts and moving forward. I have definitely decided to continue Mollie and Daniel. It was nice to see M&M again through this and go through their story. I hate to say it but through saving 5,000 posts with them, I got a little sick of seeing them and the boys. That's not to say I won't come back to them but I need a break from M&M and the boys.

This is my to do list before my return

Finish saving old posts (approx. 125 posts left) - will be finished tonight

Review 6,438 posts to make sure I have everything saved

Reorganize and purge CC

Figure out a home for future NSFW posts

Get ahead on Mollie and Daniel before posting again

I look forward to my return but I want to be in a better place before I go there.

Best wishes.

Good morning,

Some of you may have noticed the queue is not back yet. I've made the decision to take a brief hiatus just to get ahead.

Back in the summer my external hard drive broke without a backup. So for the last few months I've been going through my old posts to get them all saved and backed up. It's taken longer than I would have hoped. And I've had some setbacks including another broken external hard drive. Luckily, I only lost 500 posts with that one. I'm making good progress. I'm up to Abraham's time in the hospital before his death so late February/early March 2017. That sounds like so long ago but I was on a hiatus for almost a year so very little to save during that time. To put it in numbers I have 6,400-ish posts total. I've currently saved and backed up 5,100 ish posts. So, I don't have much further to go based on how much I've already done. Some are from Mollie and Daniel's story and the pictures are on my hard drive just not in the right order. Based on current time line, I'm hoping to finish by the end of the month. I also need to organize and purge my CC. Lastly, I need to figure out a home for my future NSFW posts. But I'm trying to finish all that mess before getting back into playing and planning my future story. I'll be back soon. Best wishes.

So I failed. I didn't get the queue filled last night. I didn't sleep well Tuesday night. I was exhausted even into this morning (Thursday). But last night instead of filling the queue, I worked on my bullet journal set-up and watched Meet the Robinsons. I love that movie, it is my vote for most underrated Disney movie, and I needed it. Keep moving forward. Anyway rambling over I will try to get the queue filled tonight. Best wishes.

"Good morning Daniel."

"Uh yeah good morning Mr. Sword."

And now the queue has ended because I didn't have the time to refill it. Oops. I'll fill it up tonight.

Good morning Detective Evans.

"Mollie?"

:::sigh::: "What Max?"

"He likes you too. I've only met him once and I can tell he likes you. Why wouldn't he?"

[simplrsimblr]

"I bet you're right Max. He is insecure. He's so nervous around me."

"Mollie, you like him too don't you?"

"Yes. I do."

[simplrsimblr]

“Maybe he has his reasons Mollie.”

“Yeah.”

“I mean it. Maybe he doesn’t want to rush into things because he doesn’t want to ruin things with you. Not that I'm the expert but I think that’s what I would do if I was serious about someone. Or maybe he's insecure. Or maybe -- I don't know. I'm trying to help you feel better.”

[simplrsimblr]

“Are you ok Mollie?”

“No, it’s Daniel.”

“Uh oh what did he do? Do you need me to kick his ass?”

“No Max! Thank you. :::sigh::: He didn’t do anything. I know he likes me but he hasn’t even tried to sleep with me or asked me to be his girlfriend yet. I'm the one that initiated our first kiss. Maybe I’m reading the signals wrong. Maybe he's just with me for his job and to make Daddy happy.”

She just can’t focus but she looks pretty.

Then she tried yoga.

Mollie couldn’t keep her mind off Daniel either so she’s trying meditation.
