Latest collection additions! My collection has grown substantially since I last updated my Tamagotchi shrine page. I would love to update the page with the new tamas I have but I just don’t have the space to set them up or display them where we are currently living. 🥲 Once we move things will be different. I will have my own dedicated space to surround myself with all my books, craft supplies and hobbies. 💕 I am so incredibly excited for when that time comes. Only about 6 more months! It still doesn’t feel real. Tonight I signed paperwork finalizing the plans for our home. I am going through all these processes but it really doesn’t feel real. I don’t even know if it will feel real the day we move in. My parents have helped us so much with this process, I truly feel so grateful. Lately I have been thinking that I want to start building better spending habits, not be so materialistic and save money for our future. I want to save up for solar panels, and a greenhouse, maybe a fence for the back yard, and starting a small chicken farm and bee keeping. I guess I want to start saving money and investing in more things that matter. I love my little hobbies, and collecting tamas, but, I guess I feel like I am reaching an age where it would be more fulfilling to use our money to genuinely progress our life further, rather than silly materialistic belongings that don’t really serve a purpose other than sitting and collecting dust. I have even been thinking about my jewelry supplies. I have a ridiculous amount of crafting supplies… Probably far more than I could ever use in my lifetime. I don’t know if I want to keep it all. I don’t think I want to sell jewelry anymore. I like making them as gifts but the amount of crafting supplies I have doesn’t quite justify the amount I actually use. Part of me feels tempted to sell a lot of it but I am also scared I will regret it. A lot of what I have I got for an amazing price. Probably thousands of dollars worth that I got for a few hundred, honestly, from buying from friends, and shopping estates. I think for now I will just hang onto it and move with it. We’re going to be living out in the country soon and I would like to maybe start doing farmers markets during the summer. I could likely sell some of my creations there. And if I don’t, well, I can always sell some of my supplies after we move too. I’ve considered selling on Etsy but I’m also at the point where I’m just really fed up and done with Etsy. They have so many fees, and the last straw was them not allowing me to change the name of my shop. I had already gone through the trouble of rebranding all of my prior listings which took a week or two to finish. I just haven’t had a great overall experience selling on Etsy and I don’t think it’s something I have the patience to continue. I’ve had better success selling on Facebook Marketplace.

Anyways, there’s so much I need to get done before we move. My birthday is also coming up in a few days! I’m kind of looking forward to it, kind of not. I don’t like getting older anymore lol. I’m in my 30’s and all it’s really brought me so far are health issues. Nothing crazy but I’ve been dealing with a painful heel spur the past year. It’s really annoying. I can’t be on my feet for extended periods. I had to cut back on my shifts at work due to the pain of it. Some days I’d come home and my heel would just be throbbing. Not a fun time. I really need to get into a solid health routine, both with eating and exercise. I really struggle getting into the mindset for it. I wish it was mentally easier to make positive life changes. Once I really decide to do something, I tend to do well.. at least for awhile, but it’s getting into that mindset that’s hard. Getting into that mindset, and being determined enough to stick with it. I don’t really feel like my headspace is there and I don’t know how to get it there. I guess I just have to decide, but it’s weird. I feel like my life is so disorganized right now that it’s kind of translating internally too, does that make sense? I just feel like starting off on a new foot will be easier once we move. Getting my internal processes together will be easier once I can get the external stuff sorted. When I’m not surrounded by clutter and chaos in my external environment, I’ll be in the right state of mind to sort out my internal environment better.
