Day 701 - 705 (2 years, 15 - 19 days)

Heya! Hope you are doing well. ^^

There was an update today. You can finally set your home space to the aviary!

The old home space won't go anywhere and you you can change between those two as you like.

I also noticed some lighting changes in the game. Seems a bit brighter than usual.

Also the last quest unlocked. The last quest is nothing special. Just this time it's Season of Enchantment. At least the boat shop is avialable in there.

Doing the last quest also allows you to buy a new hairstyle as well. It's like the ultimate hair but without the bands.

Now the best part is after you completed all of the quests the Festival will finally start.

It is an absolutely stunning firework show. Please go visit the festival at least once. I had a lot of fun. ^^

It's a really gorgeous lightshow! Also a mashup of a lot of event themes plays during it. Hope the track gets uploaded somewhere soon.

Otherwise it's very simple. No minigames or activities to play around with. But still something nice to experience.

Do you think Temeraire would avoid Twitter or would he be spending hours on there correcting people

Why on earth does twisted wonderland maintenence hours run 11-2? Wouldn't it make way more sense to do like...2-5? Most people are still awake at 11

op and most people in the comments would not have survived in Greece in the 2010s actually

I feel like if you did an income analysis on here there would be more people from rich sorry I mean upper middle class families than we are lead to believe

Day 914 - 917 (2 years, 196 - 199 days)

Hee-ho! So a quick update on things.

New furniture! Only pricey in candles this time. And immediately found a use for all of this in my nest! ^^

Finally got the Days of Nature cosmetics! Actually really adore both the scarf and mask!

I have a weakness for scarves and the mask might be the only really dark one that I was looking for. ^^

So, Days of Nature slightly changed location. It's now past the waterfall.

Which includes the shard and wormy.

And the final quest of Season of Nesting! A proper house warming party! Love how the cutscene really shows that this is your place now. Your very own nest. :D

Gosh, I can't wait for season to end so I can talk about the props and the season as a whole.

Also there is a double season candles event today? Wasn't aware of that happening but I don't complain about extra candles. ^^

had the consult for my gallbladder surgery. the doctor told me i need to "lose 10 - 15 pounds" before they'll perform the surgery on me, and that I would need to wait 2 - 3 months before they would schedule it. i told her i have PCOS which makes it difficult to lose weight. she told me that does happen, and offered to refer me to a bariatric surgeon who is used to bigger bodies who could perform the gallbladder removal instead. i asked her for the referral to them instead

i was very angry at her for this, as 10 - 15 pounds do not make any difference when you are 300 lbs. my weight fluctuates between 280 - 340 lbs depending greatly on what i've eaten, how much i exercise, and so on. this will also vary greatly depending on if the stone is blocking my gallbladder completely or partially- if it's fully blocking the neck of my gallbladder, i cannot get enough digestive juices into my stomach to properly digest my food, so i will begin violently vomiting to get the undigested food out, and to get bile flowing into my stomach again. i begin to lose tons of weight when this happens, and i put it back on during the periods where i can get enough bile in my stomach to properly digest my food.

i can't digest my food properly. eating "healthier" will not change this- i can't digest food at all, period. healthy or unhealthy, i can't digest anything, because a good half of my digestive juices are completely missing from my guts. there is a functional issue with the way my guts work, of course i will lose weight drastically and put it back on at times. of course the issues will be episodic.

both her and the student that was working with me kept assuming that i said that my pain got worse after "high fat" meals. both of them put this in my mouth-

the student did it first. she asked when the pain gets worse and i said sporadically, but sometimes after i eat. she literally asked me "so you said it gets worse after fatty meals, right?"

i got frustrated and said "no, it's really random." i didn't get to tell her that raw leafy vegetables and lightly steamed or cooked vegetables make me vomit. broccoli and cauliflower that aren't heavily cooked, salads, raw vegetables, lightly cooked carrots, applesauce and apples in general are all problem foods.

the doctor then came in and said "it gets worse after high fat meals, right? you said that" and i went, again, "no it just kinda happens."

i don't even eat a high fat diet. i cook at home now for every meal now that i have all the tools i need to do so. i make rice, fish, pasta, and certain vegetables that i can digest like potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and so on. i eat bread, seeds, nuts, dried fruits, and drink oatmilk. i don't eat land meats, eggs, or dairy. i don't have any of those things. i do eat french fries and fish sticks, but not for every single meal. i don't eat chips because they're too salty and irritate my stomach. i don't eat candy or sweets unless the food bank delivers them to me. i don't eat much sugar other than pancakes and certain fruits

she wouldn't listen to me and went "well when you eat fatty meals, your gallbladder has to contract more and it can cause you a lot of pain." you would not believe how many times she came back to "you need to eat a lower fat diet." "the pain gets worse after you eat a high fat meal, so eat lower fat meals and your pain will go down." "just eat a lower fat diet and it'll help."

i just kind of sighed. there were tears in my eyes. i felt defeated. they made a bunch of assumptions just because i was sitting there, being fat. i was wearing long sleeves due to it being cold and they didn't get to see that i have a lot of muscle in my body mass. quite a lot. i wanted to tell them that i'm on testosterone and physically active when and where possible, and that i frequently lift heavy objects and move, but i never got a chance. i wanted to tell them my BMI isn't what they think it is, but i just didn't bother to try

i despise that people assume that fat people are fat because they eat "unhealthy" foods. i ate high fat foods for a few months while i was homeless because i didn't have the resources to cook every single meal. it affected my liver, i'm dealing with some fatty liver. but my gallbladder has more important issues in the form of the literal stone inside. she would not stop pushing for me to eat lower fat meals. all because i was sitting there, existing, as a fat person. i wish i would've told her i can only eat fish and plant matter

i don't understand how a patient telling you they're vomiting and can't keep down certain foods does not sound like a more pressing issue than an arbitrary number. weight as a number means nothing, it tells you nothing about that person's actual body composition. i have trauma with vomiting and yet i'm going to have to keep doing it anyway despite the fact that it could kill me via dehydration or if i just. can't stop

either way i'm very unhappy with result as i already waited for a month for this consult. now i have to wait for a referral for another surgeon to go through, and to do the consult with them, too. all while being in pain and having GI issues the entire time. just because a surgeon doesn't want to take the time to learn how to operate on fat bodies. i'm tired. what a joke
