Me: *after knitting 12 pairs of wool socks with rush because of deadline* Now I WON'T knit anything until a bit closer to Christmas.

Same library, which announced collecting wool socks to elderly people earlier, announced today: "We are collecting mittens and wool socks for homeless people. Accepting new only. Deadline 30th of November 2025."

Me: ... ... WELL! Time to start to knit again!

Pharmacy worker, earlier today, also recommended me female doctor's blog. She writes a lot about the lack of iron in woman's blood / body. I've been reading the said blog now a bit, finally coming on symptoms (lack of iron). And guys, holy shit!

Tired, out of strength *

Dizziness / fainting *

Cold fingers and toes *

Muscles get tired, weaker recovery *

Restless feet *

Feeling of lacking air and increased heartbeat *

Difficulties to find words, stutter *

Wounds at the edges of your mouth, stinging on tongue

Stinging on feet

Hands and legs becoming numb

Bleeding and easily bruising *

Hair lost *

Weaker immunity system

Flaking nails *

Dry skin and itching *

Pale skin *

Trembling

"Brain fog" *

Behavioral disorders

Dryness of the eyes

Headache *

Sleep disorders *

Depression, Anxiety *

PICA symptom (the need to eat something which is not made to be eaten) I got 16 out of 24! To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I lacked iron. After all in my family we never ate anything else than potatoes, wheat and maybe some sausages. In my adulthood, I'm not eating much better... Blood test in next month will tell me more.

Went to Cafe with sis and her best friend today. I ordered hot chocolate and cinnamon bun. The cashier lady, who made my hot chocolate, said their chocolate is rather bitter so she adds some chocolate sauce in it to make it sweeter. One of the BEST hot chocolates I've ever gotten, plus prettiest! :D I have NEVER have foam or heart etc print on my hot chocolates! Maybe little bit of whipped cream but that's all. I was super happy about this :D

Not only that but I met 3 different older women. First one thanked me after I held door open for her, second fancy older woman stopped me at the Cafe when I was leaving, saying:

"Is that reindeer antlers?" (meant my silver necklace)

"Yes, it is."

"It's very beautiful. Is it from Lapland?"

"No. It's actually from mall of Tripla. There's this store called Riipinen."

"Oooh, I know that store! Your necklace is so pretty."

I thanked her with smile and then we went on our separated ways. Then, maybe 30min later, I held door open to third older lady. She said her thanks, went down the stairs, stopped in front of other set of doors, turned to look at me and said with happy silent voice and smile: "Good weekend to you." I thanked her and wished her the same before she left.

I am happy I decided to go out today in the end ❤️ it was a nice day ~

My Japanese friend had bought and sent me many little bags of Jujutsu Kaisen stuff! All blind bags. You could get stickers, one bigger plushie head, mini stands etc.

I opened them all and NO YUJI OR SUKUNA!! >:'O Just stupid Suguru Geto stuff, a lot, who I absolutely HATE! Then 2 different ladies who I don't care about. I also got few Megumi Fushiguro figures and few Toge Inumaki. Megumi and Toge I can accept since they are okay / good characters but... sob sob sob... Yuji... Sukuna....

THANK GOD my sis had got me tiny Sukuna keychain and a mug which has both Sukuna AND Yuji on it! :D <3

I also got monster figure, cat skull decoration, Christmas elves, teas, candles, chocolates, squishmallows, money a bit, plastic folder about Blue Lock (RENSUKE! <3), 2 card deck (one was animal deck and first card I got from it was PANTHERA = Grimmjow :'D). Socks I also got, these soft covers for toilet's seating part, super cute little dino etc etc etc. So much stuff which I can't remember anymore :'D It honestly took me 2 HOURS to open all gifts! Yes, we LOVE Christmas and get each other A LOT of gifts! We buy them year around, ahah!

But one of the best gifts? Sis had bought it to me as an 40th birthday gift but accidentally gave it to me now, 2 years too soon :'D But I LOVE IT! It's mini figure of Joseph Joestar (old man version) and MY GOD I LOVE IT! :D

I always laugh that my future father-in-law has to be like Joseph!

Clock's almost 2AM on Friday the 13th on September - aka HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :D 38 years I have roll on this planet now, meeting so many amazing people face to face as well as online <3

I have to say I've never thought Friday The 13th to be bad day etc. Never. To me it's like any other day. However, this year this day also happens to be my birthday and so far it has NOT gone all that good.

I made myself hot chocolate almost 2h ago to spoil myself. Well, 10 minutes after midnight my stomach decided to hate me for this...

I fried whole chicken in the oven so that I can later today make a chicken pie. I have never done one but I really want to try it for my birthday. Well, I took a test bite with crispy skin and that skin had BURNING FAT on it and it slapped right against my chin, burning me! No big damage but annoying still!

I'm trying to draw myself a birthday gift art since I haven't been able to buy myself anything. I normally buy myself a gift but not this year. Money's been a bit tight more or less. Well, my art is fighting back :'D I'm ready to give up, kind of, and try something else but at the same time I am stubborn and I want to see if I can make this work in the end.

Tried to ate nectar but, surprise, half of it had gone bad! :'D

So... yeah... So far this day has not started in the best way possible. I'm already shitting myself (mentally) since I fear how badly I will screw up the pie :'D

When I was drawing my first Sukuna months ago, YouTube randomly played Madonna's "Little Prayer" (note, I don't listen her songs normally like never). Since then this has been Sukuna's song to me personally.

Well, I was checking pics on my phone just now and when Sukuna's pic changed on the screen, this said song from Madonna started to play instantly from car's radio, haha!

I already have an altar for you! What else do you want?! Me dancing around the house, chanting your name in trance? :'D

2 days ago, while walking to market, I saw this little teddy sitting at the dock by the river who travelers use during summer. Not many of them, tho.

Now that I walked to the market again, this teddy was still sitting there. I couldn't leave it there anymore. It was dirty and brown, covered with little pieces from trees. I came home and gave him LONG hand wash in the bathroom sink. Water was so dirty and I still didn't get all the dirt off. I give him second wash later.

While washing him, I noticed he has name sticker on it which is great! Downside, I don't know anyone with that name AND it very well could be traveler's toy which fell off from the boat... So, I give him a second bath later and then take him to local market with huge visible note, in order to find the owner. Or I keep him myself :'D

But in all honesty, I would love to be able to return him to his kid. I'm sure he misses his teddy...
