My last bit of birthday stuff (mostly Amazon gift card stuff) is arriving today and some arrived yesterday! I really ended up spoiled beyond belief… I will say that, considering that luxuries such as these are gonna go out of the window starting in August, Iโm so glad that I have so much stuff to have fun with for a long while.
๐ฃ Littlespace Stuff ๐ฃ
First is this Bingo night light! Iโm going to enjoy looking at it every day on my desk while I work:
Here she is all lit up! You can’t turn the light off –it goes off by itself after a few minutes.
Here are some more vintage unopened trading cards. Canโt wait to open these during Littlespace and then scrapbooking with them!
These things can be really hit or miss though. Sometimes I get a lot of “puzzle piece” type cards…
Next –more stickers!! Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid and Crayon Shin-Chan this time. ๐
Then there’s another book for scrapbooking art into my journal. I have one more of these coming later today.
๐ Other Cool Things ๐
I had a lot of these books on my wish list and was really glad to get at least one. Itโs absolutely fantastic! If youโre a writer I highly recommend it.
The way it works is, you look up an emotion, and for each emotion you get a wealth of expressions that you can use to express that particular state of mind. It’s just so cool.
Finally โthis wasnโt a birthday present. I preordered this AGES agoโฆ it finally came today. (*๏ฟฃโ๏ฟฃ) โจ
I really did buy a lot of crap before things went south recentlyโฆ ๐ and other than Grandmaโs check (which I saved) I pretty much spent all birthday money right away, tooโฆ I wanna make sure it is clear no donation money went to any of this junk. It was either purchased before or with gift cards/money given to myself with the caveat that it was to be used for birthday treats.
Also. I think you all know this, BUTโฆ my spending sprees often coincide with depression. Especially if itโs my Little side that is hit. ๐ You can often tell Iโm depressed even if Iโm seemingly super happy by how much s**t I buy in a given period of time, even if I seem super happy in my posts.
With that said, it definitely wonโt be possible going forward for a while, so Iโll have to find a different coping mechanism. ๐๐ฆ Thankfully, I have a lot to entertain myselfโฆ and the Zoom meeting with other Littles did me tremendous good too!
To be clear, no one has given me a hard time about this at allโฆ but I worry about perception, so I wanted to set that straight.
I think that’s all for this post. I’m working really hard. Things are still fairly stressful at home, but taking time every few days to be Little is doing wonders for my mental health. I hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
