The Rosy Side of Things

I have some important news for my readers. I am taking a leave of absence for the near future. Am I okay? No. Which is hard to admit, but I'm really not. This much needed break is because my levels of stress have reached an astronomical high, and I'm not coping with it the way that I should. I'm done trying to deny that it exists and deluding myself into thinking that I can do this myself and continue on the path I've been on. It wasn't until I was driving home after a four hour shift at work and I realized about three or four times during that very short drive that I couldn't recall how I got there and if I had run lights or anything. It honestly scared me. I've been to the doctors way too many times to count in the last couple of months all due to stress induced infections, sicknesses, fractures and more. Basically my body is screaming for me to give myself a break. If I'm not careful I'm going to really permanently damage myself.

Will I come back? You can bet on it. I just need to focus on me for a bit.

Will you be on SL? Probably not much at all. The way to get a hold of me if you want to would be through my avies FB.

What about your sponsors? I am SO appreciative of them! They are the bread and butter of my blog. We will see if they will take me back after my LOA or if I need to make some new connections. No hard feelings on my part though, I just appreciate the opportunities I was given and I enjoyed them while I had them.

As my last hurrah for awhile I've done this blog post for you guys. The outfit that I am wearing is a new design that my sponsor 1 Hundred has made! Check them out in their main store! Happy Shopping everyone, until next time ♥

I got my camper sized Christmas Tree up and went through all my decorations the other night. It was happy and sad at the same time going through all the memories I had made with loved ones and of course those that are deceased. I just have to make new ones... which also includes putting my baby (her picture) on the tree as well. Just have to keep my head up and realize that not everything has to be dwelled upon. Anyways, enough of my gloom and doom... I have an item from Suicide Dollz that my readers can pick up on the last couple of days of the event! The new round will start on the first of December so get shopping! ♥

She said, I don't drink

But sometimes I need a stiff drink

Sipping from a high, full glass

Let the world fade away

She said, I don't smoke

But sometimes I need a long drag

Yeah, I know it might sound bad

But sometimes I need a smoke break

Where the hell have I been huh? Yep...It's been the evil RL. Someone come save me please! Other than that... I've caught a massive Carp, camped extremely (extreme weather practically wiped me off the map) and of course my dog needs all the attention right now. So I'm hoping that I'm finally on the mend with the stuff that is going on in my life. Anyways... I'm hoping that I can finally bring some more content to my readers! I had made this post about two weeks ago and I just couldn't let it go... some of these were at Suicide Dollz, but I want my readers to know that they can also find these most likely at the main stores of the product creators! So I apologize for that. Wish me luck y'all ☺

If there is one thing that I need to do today, it is relax and not go crazy. In the meantime I have a new addition to my RL family, it's a puppy named Roxy! She's an adorable ball of fur that constantly sheds and she absolutely loves to cuddle. I mean, she was almost made to cuddle, she does it that often. Today in my life was a day to make me realize that it was a "do or die" kind of a situation. I had to actually make choices in my life that either benefit or destroy me. Luckily I think I made a more positive choice on my part. Anyways, today I have a few items for my readers! First and foremost I have Something New with some group items for my readers! Just join the group and you can get some free group gifts! Then of course I have some items from the latest round of Suicide Dollz! Happy Shopping! ♥

Change is coming, but I just have anxiety about it. Hopefully it will be a positive change, or some kind of impact that will help me not be... I think the word is stressed?

There's one thing that has been keeping me going this entire week... the ability to come home and lay in bed at the end of the night. Sounds boring right? Well, considering I'm not exactly 'put-together' lately I'm perfectly happy with a date with my bed. I'm most definitely a mess, but I'm hanging in there. My only happy things are my classic rock and food. I definitely am dipping more into the music though. So today I have a Suicide Dollz packed post! Eat it up while it lasts! ♥

As the rain is coming down today I am reminded how much I really do love the rain. It replenishes the plants and gives them all new life and of course it helps me feel like there is a new beginning around the bend. With my insomnia taking to new heights, I am exhausted but know I need to keep going. Hopefully one of these nights I'll just hardcore pass out from days of missing hours. Crossing my fingers on that one. Anyways, today I have some goodies for my readers! First and foremost is the necklace/choker that I am wearing which is from Pervette!

Not gonna lie, this is a pretty odd post. I put two things that normally wouldn't go with each other and married them! Lol. Yeah I'm odd like that. Not having the best day in the world but I can't say I'm having the worst either. Relationships are confusing with each and every new variable that comes into play, all I can do is try to figure them out and solve the equation the best I can. We all know how 'good' I am at my math skills... Anyways, today I have the new round of Suicide Dollz to present to my readers! Even as I am typing this I keep getting new stuff from the new round so expect more to come! This is just what I had on hand at the time. Then of course the shopping cart that I am borrowing is a pose from Something New exclusively at the Pose Fair! This is a two person pose/prop but I wanted to make it just a singles one for now. Happy Shopping ♥

I have this mix mashed style of country that I enjoy to listen to. It's the old sounding lyrics mixed with new ideas and more open to new ideals. I prefer not hearing anything pop mixed with country which is why I am a huge fan of the Pistol Annies, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves and Ashley Monroe (just to name a few). Anyways, as my boyfriend is sick and I am trying to relax my foot again (it's still acting up) and of course I couldn't' forget you guys and get some more of the event items out!

Wish me luck on not losing my feet (feels like that when I walk on one foot) for those days! Of course though, I do have some more items from Suicide Dollz for my readers today!

'Cause I'm alright with a slow burn

Taking my time, let the world turn

I'm gonna do it my way, it'll be alright

If we burn it down and it takes all night

It's a slow burn

Old soul, waiting my turn

I know a few things, but I still got a lot to learn

So I'm alright with a slow burn

On the first day of my relaxation for my days off I am thinking about cleaning of all things. Yep, I'm pretty sure that I am becoming OCD. Today is also the day I find out if one of my big situations I have been having is going to be resolved. Anxiety? Yes. But, as my boyfriend constantly reminds me... I need to be positive in order to have a positive outcome. Just have to remember that and start believing it.

Today I bring my readers yet another post from Suicide Dollz! My readers can snag up these cute things exclusively at the new event! The items that are featured in this post are the outfit/pasties, belly button piercing, lower tattoo and of course the rose lights! Happy Shopping ♥

"I wish I were to lay my hands on you...

I wish you were to lay your hands on me

and never let me go...

I wish I were still half drunk

Still tangled up, 

Makin' love..."

I am definitely missing my boyfriend right now, I need him in many ways with this apartment reality getting closer and closer I just miss him terribly! I was just scrolling around on my Spotify and found that one of my favorite country artists released a new single and this just fit my mood entirely. Ashley Monroe is one of those classic country sounding artists that I am in love with. She sounds like how country should sound in my opinion. There are a couple of artists who I really click with usually is Kesha and Halestorm, but Ashley Monroe is ranking up there with those two. 

Alright I've got a new thing from 1 Hundred today for my readers!! I know right?! It's been awhile :O Sira finally released this beauty that is not only sassy but is also cute as a button! My readers can get this of course in the classic 1 Hundred colors and get this exclusively at the main store of 1 Hundred! Go take a look at the new main store that Sira worked so hard on! It's super pretty! ♥ Happy Shopping!

Love letters on wet paper

For givers, no takers

An angel who never got wings

You find Jesus and it's too late

He's already closed the front gate

And the sign's flashing no vacancy

I feel like the flowers in this vase

He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beauitful?" he said

They been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray

They're sittin' in the vase but not they're dead, dead flowers

He Ain't feelin' anythin' 

My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain

I'm drivin' through a hurricane

All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?"

Hey, hey, I guess we'll just go to waste

Like dead flowers

Even though I've been kind of sick lately, I have been enjoying cleaning up my room (yes I can be a clean freak before I go somewhere or on a trip... I just prefer to have a clean room when I come home). I am super excited for my cruise that is coming up and even though I will probably just be relaxing for a good five days, I will still enjoy myself. That and I enjoy history and enjoying experiencing new cultures. I might not have any sponsor items for my readers today, but I am just trying to have a fun post for today. I probably won't do a New Years resolution either because lets face it, no one ever sticks to that. So I am just going to live day by day and hope it works out... even though it is totally not how I operate. Happy Shopping ♥

As I will be going into my second job tomorrow, I have anxiety of course but I'm also hopeful that it will help me take my mind off of things. There has been a lot of changes in my RL recently and adapting to them isn't exactly the easiest thing to ask of me. Just like with any new job I am aiming to make some acquaintances and see if someone might want to grab a good book with me sometime. I am almost a complete South Dakotan, just have to finish off my plates (which apparently isn't the easiest thing to do in the world when you transfer state titles). Once that is finished I will be officially moved in! Even though I am still unpacking my room slowly, trying to make it my own again.. I mean it's been... gosh, 5 years since I've lived in this very room.

So for my readers today, I have two items! First and foremost is this necklace that I am wearing which is only part of the set from Pervette!
