Weekly Check-In

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World! I do not have much to say in this week’s weekly check-in. I do have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the Sea-Meow Convention and the lack of accommodations it has for people with disabilities. I emailed several times regarding accommodations and not one email was responded to. I understand that they are busy getting ready for a convention and yet if they would have checked their spam folder, they would have been able to accommodate two of the three accommodations I asked for. They even admitted to me they did find the emails as I was talking with them in person today and they were found in the spam folder. Also, they informed me and many other people wearing noise cancelling headphones were not allowed. Anyway, when they read my emails this morning, they realized they made a major mistake especially since they could have accommodated two of the three accommodations I requested months in advance. Sadly, they also as already mentioned not allow me to wear my noise cancelling headphones which was an accommodation I did not request by email. I did receive a refund for most of my ticket. I am just highly disappointed and frustrated.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Good Afternoon, World!!! I am currently on my lunch break from work. I bought me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and can of Pepsi for my lunch. As you already know, it is currently Thursday here in Seattle. You may not know is Thursdays are my Fridays and I have a three-day weekend every week due to being off on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am looking forward to this weekend. Specifically, Saturday and Sunday as I am going to a Sea-Meow Convention which is a cat convention here in Seattle. I am looking forward to this and have been since August. I will most definitely let you know how the cat convention goes this weekend.

Sleepless in Seattle Type of Night

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! Right now, I am having trouble sleeping. I have been awake since Friday at around five o’clock in the morning Seattle time. I am tired as hell, and I know the reason why I am unable to sleep. I’m unable to sleep due to insomnia and PTSD. Due to the lack of sleep my depression is starting act up a little. I am sure with some sleep that the depression will subside.

Due to the lack of sleep, increased PTSD and depression symptoms I am extremely grateful that I have two really fun things happening. Those two things are Sea-Meow Convention which is in November of this year and Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) in March of 2027. Having these two events to look forward to is extremely helpful for me even though my depression symptoms are not that bad and are most likely increased due the lack of sleep. I am really looking forward both Sea-Meow Convention and ECCC. For me planning to attend such events such as Sea-Meow Convention and ECCC are key to my mental health recovery because no manner how mild or severe my mental health symptoms are knowing that I have something fun to look forward to is key to my recovery.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie and attempt to fall asleep I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog.

Recovery Focused Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! Just a fore warning that this post most likely will ramble on about various things that I plan on doing for fun to help me look forward to something just in case my mental health symptoms start acting up. Thankfully, I am doing quite well mental health wise.

Speaking of mental health, I have some fun things planned. The fun things that I am looking forward to and ultimately will help with my mental health especially if the symptoms of my mental health diagnosis’s start acting up. Something I have come to realize during my years of mental health recovery is that no matter how good or bad things get, having something to look forward is a very good thing to have one’s life.

The first fun thing that I will be doing to going to the University of Washington versus Eastern Washington University football game in September. In fact, I bought the ticket earlier this evening. I am going by myself just for the hell of it. I got me a pretty good seat on the forty-yard line. I am not much of a football fan, but attending the football game is something to do and look forward to.

The second fun thing I have planned is going to Sea-Meow Con. It is a cat convention, and I am finally able to attend this particular one as I had the money to buy the VIP tickets for me and my partner as well as have the time to attend. I am not one hundred percent sure who will being doing meet and greets this year, but I am looking to doing them. When I went to Seattle Pop Cat Convention in April, they didn’t have meet and greets like Sea-Meow Con has. Sea-Meow Con is going to be held the first weekend of November.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Long Time No Blog

Posted on by Gertie

Happy Middle of the Night, World!!! I t has been nearly four months since I last blogged. I was supposed to post pictures of Seattle Pop Cat Convention and never did. I will post those pictures in this particular post. I’m honestly glad I want to Seattle Pop Cat Convention back in April. Before I continue writing here are the pictures from Seattle Pop Convention:

A cut out of a cat waving hi as people enter Seattle Pop Cat Convention
A cut out of a cat with butt crack facing you with a “Pop Cat” logo covering it as the cat looks back.
A cat figuring that I painted.

Now that the pictures from Seattle Pop Cat Convention I attended back in April now on to other things. Work is going extremely well, and I had my first annual review and met expectations in all areas. I’m grateful that I met expectations and am extremely pleased with how my employer does annual reviews. Not only does the supervisor review the employee and an employee self-assessment, but the employee can also have colleagues review them. To me this is more of an accurate account of my abilities as an employee than just my personal review and my supervisor’s review. I’ve worked hard at this job and really enjoy it.

Now, I am going back to talking about cats and cat conventions. I bought myself VIP tickets to Sea Meow Con last Friday. Sea Meow Con is in November. This is the cat convention that I’ve been wanting to attend for a couple of years and I am finally able to attend. It is only two days like Seattle Pop Cat Con but Sea Meow Con is the bigger cat convention here in Seattle. I’m glad it is being held in November as my depression starts acting up in mid to late autumn and last until mid to late spring. It gives me something to look foward to.

Let’s discuss blogging. I am going to do my best to blog on the more regular basis as I really want to keep you my reader more interested in reading my blog and not wonder when I will blog next. I really do enjoy blogging and I have some ideas of how to blog more regularly, but I won’t bore you with that right now especially since it is something I have written about quite frequently.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie as I attempt to go to sleep. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is almost three o’clock in the morning here in Seattle and I am having trouble once again. I am pretty sure that the reason I am unable to is a combination of insomnia and C-PTSD. Dealing with both sucks especially when they are both acting up at the same time.

My health has not been the best lately. Mainly due having a kidney stone since February and getting a stint to help pass the kidney stone. I am unsure if the kidney stone has passed or not, but I will be having a procedure done this Tuesday to help the kidney stone pass if it hasn’t pass yet as well to get the stint out.

On a more positive note, I went to Seattle POP Cats Convention yesterday and willing be attending again later today. It is my first ever cat convention. Not as big as comic cons but still worth attending. I am so glad that I chose to attend. There is also another cat convention here in Seattle in November. It is called Sea-Meow Con. I am planning on attending when they go on sale.
