Nib is such a fashion king. He loves clothes and accessories. Need to make him some more, but for now he is quite happy to have stolen Merlin's glitter sweater.

I've been flaring a lot recently. Today I really needed to get up, walk around our condo a little, and put on something that makes me feel human. Capris and I took a few minutes to hang out in the living room with the cats, walk a little, and take a selfie. Going to try to balance moving and rest today better than usual.

A couple things I read and watched yesterday helped me become more aware just how much my plushes have become an emotional support throughout trauma over my lifetime. It's not like I didn't know it was a coping mechanism, but I don't think I comprehended how much I've emotionally retreated or how some things have effected me since childhood.

However, despite what some people might think, I believe it's a healthy way to cope, as long as it doesn't result in hoarding, debt, or interfering with my life in some other way. I'm proud of myself for making the conscious choice to help myself and have intentional emotional outlets like plushes, art, and music.

After experiencing not great stuff being out in the world after becoming visibly disabled, going out has become a great source of anxiety, even on the rare days I feel well enough. Having a plush with me gives me a buffer, an emotional sink.

There's quite a bit I'd like to write on the subject, but for now, I'm grateful that I'm starting to be more comfortable with myself.

VERY excited because I finally was able to order the Build A Bear Buddies Swirls Frog! Plushblr, do we have a tag for the buddies/mini size? They're so cute! The artist-made clothing I'm finding is incredible. ✨

Made bandana for Nib! He loves rainbow too, so used black yarn and different color embroidery floss to make it rainbow for him. He likes it lots 😊 - 🐁/🐍
