a new scrapbook

Started a new journal for when my parents are visiting me. They haven't been to Kentucky to see me in the past three years. I've went to Alabama to see them but they are finally come here. 

In the front there is an envelope with a card and I wrote a note. I wrote why I am keeping this journal/scrapbook. My memory loss is not getting any better. So the more I cN write down and save the better. It will be all I have when I'm older. I don't expect myself to be able to login to my phone or computer. I will want these scrapbooks.

I plan on using this as a scrapbook/junk journal for anytime they come here or we visit them. So I will be collecting receipts and restaurant stuff. Hopefully napkins with logos. That type of thing. Paper menus if they are available. Any kind of bag or anything really. And I will write out about the day and use stickers and magazine clippings and Washi tape and scrapbook paper. It's gonna be a scrapbook with "junk" in it. I am incredibly excited. I have already gotten out my big purse I love to have space to collect things when we are out doing stuff all day for two days.

Anyways just wanted to share this with someone. Anyone. I don't care. I am so excited.

I have a new computer

 I have a new laptop. a chromebook. the keyboard is more spread out and I'm having to learn to type on it but I think it will be good for me. I wanna get back into blogging especially since I am feeling better.

my doctor adjusted my antidepressant after talking to me thoroughly and we decided it would be a good idea to adjust it and/or try a new one. doubling the dose of what I was already on seem to be working so I am doing that and I feel so much better. if it stops working we will try something new. she doesn't expect it to work for very long because I have been taking the same medicine for years and they usually stop working and you have to switch to a new medicine.

my parents are coming to Kentucky for the first time since we moved here and I am very excited but also freaking out about the apartment not being clean enough, BUT! I have done a lot of cleaning and I think it will be okay. they wont be here for long unless we run out of things to do. there isn't many places to sit because of lilly taking over a chair so haha it's kind of weird anyways.

they wanna stop and visit some places on their drive up so they will be very tired the night they get here, so we will be meeting them at a place to eat and they can go to bed and sleep in the next day. I hope they understand that they need to leave really early the day they leave or they wont get here in time to eat dinner with us. but if that happens it happens and they can get fast food.

we have planned the two full days they will be here are much as we can. there isn't much to do and not enough time to explore. or meet my husbands family. if they would even want to.

so I am working on the apartment

I have started art journaling and I love it and its my new favorite hobby

I am playing my Nintendo 3ds because I my Nintendo switch died and it won't turn on or work at all. we are gonna buy a used one later on. I don't see a reason to buy the new switch 2 there's no new games on it that I want and it would be crazy expensive for no reason.

I have restarted Pokemon games and my animal cross game for the 3ds and I am having a lot of fun doing that for now. I still have one more Pokemon game... well actually three that I could restart. but I wanna finish the one first. I'm gonna finish pokemon sun, I'm using a different starter pokemon than I usually do which has been a challenge and made the game quite different for me this time around,

after that I want to restart pokemon XY and pick a different pokemon than I would usually,  picking a different starter and trying new pokemon teams to play through is like a whole new game for me so I am really happy with that.

here is my art journal page from today
