🌸 February Wrap-Up 🌸

Warning, this post has a lot of photos and videos! It may take some time to load the whole page, especially on mobile.

Only 2 months into the year but it feels way longer!

Honestly, I think mentally, I was recovering from all the world events of January. I felt pretty helpless, overwhelmed, pessimistic. Tried really hard to just get through it. I think the fact that I only read One Book in February really reflex that. (check out the review for that book here: LINK) I got back into playing a lot of animal crossing. 

Blog Updates!

Events from the Month

Feb. 1st: Went to the Say Anything and Motion City Soundtrack concert out in Silver Spring. You can see the blog post over here: LINK. But long and short of it, had a great time but felt some kind of way about seeing my dead brother's favorite band live.

Feb. 7th: Went ice skating with wife and roommate first week of the month. Roomie has kind of been obsessed with hockey and ice skating since Heated Rivalry came out. But I hadn't been ice skating in a really long time. Place was pretty crowded though.

Feb. 8th: Deep cleaned the apartment all together. Was actually really nice. I found my DND minis! Set them up on the shelf. I really should pain some of these. Maybe even make a page for them on the website, like do some 360 Models you can rotate? I think that would be cool. Also made one of those an analog box to try and stop being on my phone so much.

Feb. 9th-11th: We tired Lego for the first time! I have always kind of been intimidated by Lego, I thought the instruction would be hard but it was actually really easy.

Feb. 10th: I saw this trend of people keeping little squares of trash from each day in their journal so I tried it out and got my first full page! I love how this looks!

Feb. 11th: This was a sad day for me. I was already really struggling with some other things at work and home. I was walking between buildings at work and I saw this American Woodcock sitting in the middle of the road! Woodcocks are the bird that are featured in that Dancing Meep Bird meme. I thought that maybe he was just stunned, maybe got confused by the sun reflecting in the snow and bonked into the Data Center wall. I didn't want him to get run over so I picked him up to move him. Mr. Meep was SO SOFT! And very light. But gosh so soft, like a fluffy little feather duster. He struggled a little but let me pick them up and move them to the sidewalk. I wanted to take Mr. Meep to a vet or wildlife rescue but I didn't have my car that day and when I called they weren't open. During my lunch break, I went to go check on Mr. Meep and he wasn't there so I though, YAY! He recovered form being stunned and flew away. I was so happy I cried a little. But after my shift I was walking back to another building and I saw that Mr. Meep had just moved to a different location and was laying in the snow. He unfortunately passed away. And I cried again. I felt so bad and felt like I hadn't done enough to help Mr. Meep. I'm getting teary eyed just typing this up. But I did move him to a safe spot so I like to think at least Mr. Meep wasn't scared when he died. Better to pass away on the side walk then get run over by some tech bro in a tesla. I still think about Mr. Meep a lot. It was my first time seeing a Woodcock in our area as there isn't a lot of woods/trees around here for them to look for food.

Feb. 13th: Got new glasses! First time getting prescription sunglasses. I tried to make them look like Vash but it came out more red than Amber. Roomie says "I look like a vampire." So maybe more Crowley.

Feb. 14th: We went to the Zoo! Saw lots of cute Animals. You can see the whole post here: LINK.
