Started the year, with nearly a year into the covid pandemic. I knew the virus take care would still be with us by today, but I also knew things would start looking up a bit too. What I didn't count on is the virus to take a turn for the worse and create a 4th waveRising tides . Should have realized that when summer seaside icon TTOCI 1 GIF 1 came, it was like 'the eye Tini Eye of the storm'.


I do feel 22 will be an even better year and will start to see really good positive notions from the pandemic. Yes, we will still be suffering many after effects by the end of 22, but I truly believe we will soon be on the mend. As the phrase says "It always gets worse before it gets better".


Many good and bad things happened this year that I don't plan to go into. Those who are closest to me, know as I consider them family. Some of the crap I went through, I did post on previous journals and if you read them, fine. But if you didn't, oh well. What I can tell you besides getting tired of covid, I did not have as many mental breakdowns then in previous years. so that's a Plus! lol


Those of you who follow me, know I lost my laptop Chrissy - Kaoani Emot Laptop this past summer, which put a big damper on my mojo, but it didn't stop me from trying still. We do own a desktop computer. We just recently bought ourselves a new computer tower since windows 11 Windows 8.1 Icon is now out. It was an early Christmas gift to the two of us. I will be setting that up soon. In the spring, planning on getting myself a new laptop for when I go to travel. Just getting a small one, don't care the size of the harddrive. I have decided that I will play sims on the desktop for now on.


This year also began many new beginnings for myself and those around me. My brother moved into his first house and we had ThanksgivingThanksgiving 2016 Turkey medium emoticon and Christmas Christmas Tree there. That was a different experience. My niece moved into my place on a part time basis while she finishes high school as I live closest than her parents. Even adopted a cat, belongs to my niece. That's been a bit of adjustment for me. Not in a bad way mind you. Excluding authority, I do have an idea, now, what's it like to raise a teenager lol.


As the year began to draw to a close, no longer could my husband and I handle the BS that was going around in our building and we stepped down as part time superintendents. And trust me, that's a lot of stress that has now been removed from my shoulders.


Well I think that about sums up my 2021 year. Hopefully next year will be more pleasant and more active.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's been awhile, since I've updated everyone on my anything.


I'd like to first say I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season this past month. Now that Christmas is over, it's time to focus on the New Year to come. Where ever you are, hope you are staying safe from this blasted pandemic.


In the past few months, things went really wonky with me, just some personal issues at home that I don't want to talk about. And with the crisis still going on, really killed my Christmas spirit mood. My holiday yesterday was pretty good, though there was a few snags... is that new? heck no lol.


I will be posting some pics of a few things I got this year this coming week and of course on New Year's will be making my last deviation submission and journal.


I've noticed there's a few glitches going on here on dA that are really bugging me and I hope it's not just me. I just tried to go and make a poll and after I went to make a 4th option, the cancel/post buttons disappeared. and I tried to update my Spotlight widget and the save disappears too.


As you've noticed, I have posted up a couple new created bases for base lovers to try out. Please enjoy them as I have making them. I do plan to make more.


Thank you,


Signing off for now, will update again on New Year's Eve

Ask My OCs

1 min read

Some years ago, I had done a journal of 'ask my ocs'. After some time I stopped and even deleted the answers. Some answers I no longer liked or the characters have changed since then. Well here it is again.


Think of it like Q & A for the OCs or an interview


You may ask any question, below is a link to all my OCs

Each answer will be posted here and later placed into a meme

Time for another update


To start off, thank you Kujoint for giving me a month core. Having a core has allowed me the chance to once again play with my sub galleries. I've thought of making a new group, but I can't seem to keep track of my own lately. I have added more sub-galleries in my Library category and even removed a couple. I also added a new sub-gallery under Misc. for all the devaintART projects. May play with a few sub galleries before the core runs out.


In other news. My niece's mom had to move out of her home and into a care home for those who are NOT seniors as she's now unable to walk again. She's doing well and for the next two years, I will be housing my niece while she finishes her last years of high school. Today her father with my dad helped moved all her things out of the home she was living in before. So it's going to be different in helping on raising a teenager lol.


While at the same time, my bro has been moving out of the building he's been living in (we lived in the same building, just opposite ends of the hall). He's been here now for 4 years, which has given me time to have fun with both of my nieces and since one is moving in with me, she will be bouncing between me and her father (my bro). So this whole month has been a downer for me... that and is it just me or has this month really been flying!? He's moving to a house in the country, which gives him a dream come true for once.


As you all know, I have lost my laptop and therefore lost everything that didn't get backed up including sims buildings. Once I had got my sims back up and running, I developed a problem. It took me a week, but eventually figured out I had downloaded a corrupted file. Now that error is gone, I have no problems. I don't even that the graphic issue I had on my laptop. YAY!


With giving you a brief summer depressed summer fun, time to give you news in my fictional fantasy world lol


First up in the fiction world is...


Sims:

I have recreated and completed one of the buildings I have lost. Taking one already created community building, I remodeled it to make it look something to what the late 19th century stories would have had. I will be soon posting the images up (: I'm talking a little break for the moment but I will continue building. The next building I will be doing is the house for my OC Sabrina in Black Butler.


Think that just about covers Sims, now to my fanfiction...


Earlier this summer, with SpiritAmong-Darkness's help I've begun working on the next chapter of "Sweetest Soul". I've realized there a lot of errors in the copy I currently have and needs more tweaking. That has been started, but with everything that's been happening it kinda took a back burner for the moment.


I do have up chapter 7 of "Defying Destiny" stored in my sta.sh and they are ready to be posted. I am taking my time in posting them so if I have nothing to submit here on dA, I can at least submit that for the month. I do hope to write some new material soon and to be able to post that material up and not material already ready to be posted.


Well I believe that's all I have to update everyone on. Don't think I'm really missing anything other than I'm glad we're almost into Sept. This heat is really :angry: me off.

Time Rose Clock Icon - Animated Glitter to update you all once again.


As you've all seen, I have announced in a status that I've lost my computer laptop and the harddrive was unretrievable, therefore I've lost all data in since middle of 2018 to now. For people who don't understand what fully happened... think of a computer like a living being. In order for a living being to live, they need a heart and a brain . One can't function without the other. In a computer it's the same thing... hard drive and motherboard. hard drive-the brain. motherboard-the heart. Needless to say, my laptop went braindead. Now why is it that my hard drive is unretrievable... it's because the hard drive developed a tumor which spread throughout the drive.... It's quite and effective analogy on how to explain to someone how a computer died when they don't understand tech. lol


However, all has not been lost. Thanks to having thumb drives, external hard drives AND social media. I did not lose everything. Yes, I've lost a lot of photos, except what was posted on social media. I just found a thumb drive, that I had no idea I actually backed up my fanfictions. So other than a few things, all my document data has been backed up. I didn't lose everything for Naruto, Bleach, etc.


I will need to recreate all the buildings, I think, from Sims 2 at least the most recent ones. But that's ok, I can live with that. Most of the buildings have images/screenshots so I can replicate them.


Outside of online, many things are happening. A niece of mine is moving in with me as her father is moving out of town and her mother is being forced to move as well and neither will be living near the school she's going to. She's partly autistic, therefore, not a good idea to change her schooling. So now have to completely up hevial my apartment to give my niece a room. Her father will be helping as much as he can. At least this will finally give me gumption to clean out 22 junk drawers... that's a lot for a 2 bedroom basement apt approx size of like 700sF. School starts back up next month for Canada.


On some good notes. Last night, my home community fired off fireworks FIREWORKS! last night. It's anyone's guess as to why... but I'm thinking where Canada cancelled Canada Day on July 1. So the village had bought the fireworks and decided to fire them off last night as it was a civic Holiday for each Province in Canada. I will be posting those photos up as soon as I take the time to plug my phone into the computer.
