hii everyone!! quick update today instead of a normal post, but i think its a good one lolll. so i finally did the thing ive been saying id do forever... i set up a discord server!! it only took me approximately a million years to figure out roles and channels and all that but its done now and i am so proud of myself, small victories i guess :D heres the plan going forward, im gonna start moving most of my blog stuff over there instead of posting here all the time. its honestly just way easier, i can type something up and hit send instead of dealing with uploading and formatting every single time, which yall know i am NOT good at lolll. the site isnt going anywhere though, dont worry!! ill keep it up as like an archive of everything, so all my old posts are still gonna be here if you ever wanna dig through them. link to the server is gonna be up soon, so keep an eye out!! excited to actually be consistent with posting for once, we'll see how that goes lolll. thank you guys so much for reading, it really does mean a lot. more soon, god bless :D

kind of a slow week over here ngl. mom's still not doing great, dad's been busier than usual too so the house has been pretty quiet honestly. been playing a stupid amount of zelda, it's basically the only thing that gets my brain to shut off right now lolll. still havent touched that discord idea either, i keep saying soon and then not doing it. anyway. god bless :D

ok i genuinely cannot believe summer is basically done, where did it even go. its so weird not getting ready for school right now, like this is the first september of my whole life i dont have that back to school feeling and i dont know what to do with myself lolll. mom's had kind of a rough week too, feels like its gotten a bit worse honestly, so its been a quieter house than usual. trying to keep my head up though. god bless :D

lucas came over today and we FINALLY finished the roof on our minecraft build, only took us like a month lolll. it looks really good though, genuinely proud of it. honestly kind of needed the distraction too, things have been a little heavy around here with mom still not feeling like herself. anyway. god bless :D

small update, mom hasnt been feeling great the last little while. i dont think its anything huge, mostly just run down, shes been resting a lot more than usual instead of doing her whole morning thing. she even skipped pancakes on saturday which like. never happens. that's kind of how i knew something was actually off lolll. dad's been picking up more around the house because of it, which is nice, hard to complain about seeing more of him honestly even under the circumstances. hoping she's back to herself soon. god bless :D

church this morning, nothing really of note though.. dad missed it again, mill had him in early, mom joked hes basically living there this month. she's honestly been holding everything together while hes gone so much, i dont know how she does it some days. god bless

not much to report today, just kirby and doing absolutely nothing productive, full summer brain mode lolll. texted lucas most of the day, we're already plotting the next minecraft project and it sounds like its gonna be a whole thing. hope everyones staying cool out there. god bless :D

been having this random recurring thought lately, i think i want to set up a discord server at some point?? i fell into someone elses little community server last night and it just looked so nice, like an actual cozy hangout spot, and it got me thinking. only issue is i have zero clue how roles or channels or any of that stuff even works lolll, so right now its more of a someday idea sitting in my notes app than an actual plan. dad's still doing long days at the mill too, i barely catch him in the mornings before hes already out the door. anyway wanted to write the idea down before i lost it. god bless :D

sorry about the prior blog post! i was just worried over nothing haha! i ended up talking to him about it and he's just stressed about church finances, we've been getting closer and closer to not making the property fees and he doesn't want to cut funding to our extracurriculars, like our art classes and stuff. we prayed about it, and hopefully things will get better! afterwards, we even ended up talking about my favourite kirby game! god bless as always :D

i ended up helping out at church today, we have a lot of work to do with bible camp starting soon. i'm too old to attend this year, but it's really nice to be able to help out. anyways, not the reason im making this blog post. something is really really off about father montgomery today. i have never seen him this... shifty? he's on edge and i really don't know what could be bothering him. he keeps grinding his jaw like he's chewing something, and he doesn't carry himself how he used to, either. he walks a lot more cautiously, and his eyes.. goodness there is just something about his eyes that feels.. wrong?

church was nice this morning, father montgomery talked about patience of all things, felt kind of pointed lolll. dad actually made it today which doesnt happen much these days with the mill, so it was really nice having all four of us there for once. mom made a huge lunch after, easily the best part of the morning. hope everyone had a good sunday. god bless :D

lucas came by and we basically played minecraft the whole afternoon, started a new build together, hes got way better ideas than me honestly lolll. days like this are exactly what i needed, no plans, no schedule, just hanging out. good chill day with a good friend. god bless :D

officially my first proper week of summer and its SO weird you guys, like actually strange in a way i wasnt expecting. woke up around 10 today (a normal person time i know, dont judge lolll) and just laid there for a minute like wait, i dont have anywhere to be. no bell schedule, no bus. spent most of the afternoon replaying breath of the wild, made iced tea, sat on the porch for a while, it was a genuinely nice day. gonna take some getting used to but not complaining so far. god bless :D

you guys. i graduated. its actually done, its over, i am somehow a person who finished high school now, still doesnt feel real typing that out. the ceremony was this morning, total whirlwind, so much waiting around in a hot gym in a gown that did not breathe AT ALL lolll, but also genuinely emotional in a way i wasnt ready for. dad took the whole day off from the mill to be there, which basically never happens, so i was already a little teary before i even walked across the stage. mom cried the entire time obviously, good tears though. lucas graduated too so we found each other after and just stood around the parking lot for like an hour, neither of us really wanting the day to end. cleaned out my locker yesterday and it was so much sadder than i expected, found stuff in there from like two years ago lolll. huge weird day. god bless :D

deep in finals, brain is completely fried so this is a short one. spent most of today at the library with lucas just quietly studying next to each other, somehow that makes it more bearable. took a break around 3, got slushies from the gas station across the street, easily the highlight of my week lolll. two exams left and then im done forever, a sentence i still cant fully process. hanging in there. god bless :D

happy mothers day to my mom specifically, who is the actual best. church this morning, father montgomery gave her and the other moms a little shoutout during the service which was sweet. came home and i attempted to make her breakfast, the eggs were a little sad honestly but she ate them and said they were great anyway, exactly the kind of thing shed say even if they werent lolll. dad grabbed her flowers on his way home from an early shift too. small day, good day. love you mom. god bless :D

pretty normal tuesday, nothing huge. counting down school days now, i think theres like 22 left, which somehow feels like forever and also not enough time depending on the hour lolll. lucas and i walked to the park after school and just sat there talking about nothing in particular, it was really nice, even if we did jack shit haha. everythings green right now with everything blooming, favourite time of year honestly. god bless :D

happy easter everyone. church this morning was beautiful, father montgomery always goes all out for the easter service and today was no exception, the whole place was packed. dad actually got the morning off which felt like its own small miracle given how the mill's been lately, so it was really nice having all four of us there together for once. big family lunch after, way too much ham if im honest lolll, no complaints though. hope everyone had a good day today, whatever that looked like. god bless :D
