Hi, I’m Megan: 25, Married, Virgo, Ravenclaw/Thunderbird, ΣΑΙ ❤️🌹

Alright so obviously I haven’t been on this blog in a long ass time but I wanna start chronicling my life, like a blog is supposed to do. So while I’ll be sharing things that interest me or that I care about, I’ll also be giving regular updates about my life and it’s on-goings.

The first one being, I’m writing a book! Under a pen name because I’ve found myself fond of those recently being in the tumblr roleplaying community. Not gonna share that yet because I don’t want anyone to steal it. Also not gonna share my book idea. But I will be giving updates on where I’m at in the writing process. It is a fantasy book. So I’ve got the background lore written, I need to flesh it out a bit because it might turn into my prologue, I’ve also got a lengthy bio for my main character. I’ve created a list of the most important characters and I’ll be writing short bios for each of them as well, I’ve got 4 of those out of 17 so far.

As for recently, I just had shoulder surgery to repair a tear and tighten my bicep tendon back in October. It’s been a long and painful process so far but I’ve been making good progress in recovery so far. It’s been rough on both my husband and I because he’s had to be my chauffeur and I’ve been out of work. Finances are struggling. I’ve finally just started driving in the last few days but I’ve been back at work and in physical therapy on top of regular therapy for several weeks. So we’ve been go, go, go constantly and utterly exhausted because of it. Now that I’m getting range of motion back in my arm and getting my independence back as a result, things have gotten substantially better.

I personally have been struggling with my weight because my life went sedentary very quickly when my shoulder issues started up. We’ve also been eating out waaaay too much because we just don’t have the time. But that is about to change! This weekend I plan on cooking multiple crockpot meals to last both of us for lunch and dinner next week. Here’s to hoping that they taste good and that it works for us.

So that’s me right now. If you’ve read this far, I really do appreciate you taking time out of your day. If you’re interested just follow and keep up with my progress in life. I’m also open to asks if anyone is genuinely curious about anything going on that I haven’t detailed so far.

Thanks!

Megan

*GASP* funny story I forgot to tell about yesterday! So we needed a trivet to cook our pork loin in our instant pot. Well we have no idea where the trivet that came with our instant pot went. So after googling so viable substitutes, we landed on using....metal cookie cutters 🤣

[storyxteller]

Used the instant pot for meal prepping today so I am officially done with the meal prep for the next ten days! We realized we got kinda tired of the meals eating them for lunch and dinner every day. We never had an issue with our lunches before so we’re going back to what we were doing before with lunches and we’ll just have dinner ready!

Hopefully this means a good night sleep. We’re having friends over tomorrow for a double date which I’m really excited about.

Just a-doin more meal prepping this weekend. And dealing with severe PMS. Everything’s fine 😅

Book Update:

I’ve decided to write my book in parts. So I’ll write scenes as they come to mind and then I’ll figure out a way to piece them together at some point. That being said, I’ve just written my first part! Exciting things are happenings!

[storyxteller]

Doing something new and that I’m passionate about! Besides cooking, I have figured out how to make my own GIFs for roleplaying!

If you know anyone interested, please check out @xnexttrickx for all of your GIF making needs!

It’s at this point in the eating of my meal prep that I’m really starting to miss fast food 😅

Taking a small much needed break from rp, rpg, and rph stuff. Watching An Unexpected Journey in bed.

Honestly, y’all, after a real high this weekend and getting so much stuff done and trying to learn new things, I am exhausted and feeling really low today. Depression is a bitch and some days are great and other days are just...hard. Ready for a fresh start tomorrow. Today’s plans consist of getting through work, eating dinner, and cozying up in something warm with a good movie or two before bed.

[storyxteller]

This weekend is just FULL of new learning opportunities. Learning how to make new gifs, learning my way around the kitchen, and learning html code.

It’s kinda giving me a headache but I’m determined.

[storyxteller]

Y’all, I am awake. And it wasn’t meowing that woke me up this time. The timed feeder we bought WORKS! Thank the Lord Jesus above. I was getting tired of that shit on the weekends especially.

[storyxteller]

ScreentoGif is trying to test my patience....and it’s working. I’m over it. But I’m determined to make it work.

My post op yesterday went well! I’m exactly where I should be for six weeks out from surgery and they’ve given me a note to go back to work full duty doing my secretarial job in a doctor’s office.

Adventures in crockpot meals never cease for me. Yesterday, as I was planning to make the crockpot meals today, it was suddenly brought to my attention that we did not, in fact, own a crockpot >_< so I had to run to the store to get one yesterday. This morning, as I was searing the beef for the crockpot, I needed wine to deglaze the pan. Guess who didn’t have a corkscrew to open the wine bottle? So it was back to the store, which we needed to do anyway, to get a list of things we needed. Overall, our grocery bill this week has been exorbitantly high but they are things that will last a long time so I’m not super worried. The crockpot is currently going and I’m excited to see how my spring beef bourgiugnon turns out! If anybody would like the recipe, just let me know!

We also got a timed feeder for our cat which I am very excited to put to use as I will no longer be awakened by her incessant meowing in the morning for food.

7am? How could my body possibly say no? Especially when I forget to turn my 6:45 alarm off. A nap later is necessary.

My third post op is today with the PA, not sure what to expect but it’s not until this afternoon.

Update:

While I can actually put on short sleeve t-shirts, I do not have the range of motion in my shoulder to easily get out of them. So it’s long sleeve shirts and snap up scrub tops for work from now on.
