*gloms onto you like a limpet* I miss you and your awesomeness!! I hope that things start getting better for you soon. I’m sending you all sorts of supporting vibes. (Also I started a new headcanon blog for Bleach stuff and you are 200% part of my writing inspiration with your glorious world building skills.) <3<3<3<3<3<3

Hey Nonnie! I’m okay, promise. Just super tired. I think the equation looks a bit like this: 

Pregnancy – depression meds + the Australian sub-tropics in summertime = Dets is flatter than a pancake dropped on the M1. :/

Dets, are you okay?

Hey Nonnie, I’m all right physically, but emotionally I’ve been better. 

Sorry for the long dramatic silence, everyone. I am now finished with work for the year, which is great. I can work on a bit of self-care at last, then on the upcoming holidays, and then begin preparing for the new bubba. 

I’m at 27 weeks now. Struggling with the heat, some pretty nasty pre-partum depression, exhaustion, etc. This Dwarfling is bigger than my first, and MUCH stronger, and looooves to kick me awake at night. I am just. very tired, all the time. Dealing with family stuff and my energetic, curious, amazing lil toddler is honestly about all my body is allowing me to accomplish.

I don’t want to sound self-pitying or like a big drama-queen whiner – I’m managing, and I’m lucky: I have no major pregnancy complications, my baby is healthy and growing well, I have a house and food and stuff. I’m just very, very tired.

Thanks for thinking of me, Nonnie. *hugs* you’re a kind soul.

Tag Games

I got tagged by @calliope-calliope! Thanks, hon *squishes*

RULES: tag 20 followers you want to know better! (uh, I am bad at that, sorry)

Name: Dets

Nicknames: That IS my nickname. My online one, anyway! I have a few RL ones too, but the most common is the shortened form of my first name. 

Gender: Cis female

Star Sign: Pisces. Glub glub.

Height: 5′3″ (162cm)

Sexuality: Bisexual, greysexual sort of mishmashy mess

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff – though to be fair, I am a studious bookworm of epic proportions also. 

Favorite Animal: Cats of all kinds, polar bears, wombats, mantis shrimp, TORTOISES, dogs with super-floppy ears

Average Hours of Sleep: 7… ish.

Dogs or Cats: I have a cat, and she is the best cat. She is 20 years old and her body is a battlefield of geriatric cat conditions… and she is still the sweetest, most loving, gentlest and prettiest animal. 

(I do like the puppers, too. But my cat is my cat.)

Blankets You Sleep With: I am a cold frog with atrocious blood circulation and the lowest blood pressure you can have without being undead, so all the blankets. 

Dream Trip: Going around the world to meet every single member of the @sansukhpodfic podfic cast. EVERY. ONE. 

Dream Job: I’m doing it. I teach and make music 8 hours a day, what’s not to love? 

When I Made My Blog: A gigajillion years ago… or perhaps four, I’m not sure which.

Followers: *waves at you all* HI THERE I LOVE YOU ALL 

Why I Made a Tumblr: Fandom stuff, tbh. 

Reasons for My URL: Mishmash of my names and the word ‘determined’ – because I want to be more steadfast and determined to reach the goals I set. I’ve had a habit of giving up when I get discouraged in the past, and that’s not a good way to live. SCREW THE HATERS AND THE NEGATIVE NANCYS AND SEE IT THROUGH :))) 

I tag whoever wants to do the thing. Do it and tag me! 🙂
