Heyo! I figured, I should probably explain why I keep saying thing like: 'before anymore initial rolls or rerolls, I want to restock. Hopefully later today' and STILL haven't restocked. It's been 3-4 days for my Halloween Edition Gachapon and a week for my normal Gachapon. Reason 1: Drama There is tons of family drama going on right now. A loss in the family and a nasty divorce results in nothing good. We have to take trips all over town, taking hours out of my time. Reason 2: School The BIGGEST factor by FAR. I'm a senior in highschool doing virtual, there is plenty on my plate with that alone. Couple that with doubling down on my English class for an early graduation in January. (Instead of a day-by-day like public school, virtual is week-by-week) I'm supposed to be on week 14 by the end of this week, I'm on week 7. I have to be through week 16 by 10/15 in order to be on track for early graduation. I'm racing against the clock here. Reason 3: Personal Health I've struggled with Kidney Stones since 4th grade, and as previously mentioned, I'm in 12th now. 8 years of kidney stones. And I've had one a month for two months now. And they SUCK. I'm in so much pain I can't get anything done, which in addition to preventing me from making adopts, more importantly keeps me from my school work. Which makes me further behind. Couple that with a trip across town for a couple hours for lawyer reasons, and I'm up the creek for the week. I go to a specialist to have tests run to see what the cause is, and everthing looks normal, so we're stuck. We're trying something now and I have to have the same set of test run in 2-3 months. For a matter of fact, I passed one just before I started writing this. Now I know why I was in so much pain for the past 3 days. What is a Kidney Stone? Look it up on your own accord, if you dare. If you get traumatized or made uncomfortable by what /exactly/ they are, I'm not going to be at fault for that. If you already know, you /know/. Reason 4: Motivation I'm just plain running out of ideas. Any ideas for new bases, themes, and color palettes are appreciated! Reason 5: Unmedicated ADHD I went to a therapist a few weeks ago and was given 'preliminary ADHD' and 'Preliminary Anxiety'(Preliminary meaning more work needs to be done for an official, concrete diagnosis) Oh dear lord. My focus is so many places at once to the point where I end up getting nothing done at all. I sit down and say 'I'm going to *make adopts, do school work* and end up browsing YT. I say 'okay, but only for 30 minutes' and when I look at the time it's already been 3 hours. 'okay, okay, till the end of this video', I've gone and watched like 4 more. I get distracted by literally everything. For example: -'Bird!' -'Hi lizard scuttling up my window' -*baby talks to pet fish* (His name is Rocket btw, he's aNavy Blue+Black+White Butterfly Betta that's been a member of the family since 9/09) -'huh, never noticed that particular pattern of stucko on the ceiling before, I wonder what other pattern's I haven't noticed' -'why is nothing suddenly so interesting?' -'huh, that's an interesting idea, let me jot that down' *ends up plotting a whole story* (these sound fake, but I legit did all of these, /at least/ once, in the past two days) After that therapist appointment, the therapist rescheduled our next appointment without our knowledge to the next day, at a time where we had other arrangements. Fam was mad and they never rescheduled the appointment and agreed not to go back. Reason 5: Other Miscellanious additional factors that I don't have enough to talk about to make their own segment: -Driver's Knowledge Exam for Learner's Permit on 10/18, studying for that during free time. -Spending time with a CLOSE IRL-turned-online friend for over 7 years. I've mentioned her/them a few times now on this account. May or may not have feeling for her/them. Trying to figure that out. /Still/. -As of 9/06(Where do you think '9603' in my username comes from?), I'm 18. Things are shifting and I'm still trying to sort things out. When Will I be Back: I'm going to be honest here: I have no clue. Some time after 10/18. Might get a few adopts out before that, but don't get your hopes up. 'You Didn't have to Explain Yourself': I didn't but I hate going on a haitus or break without an explanation. I dislike people who seemingly drop off the face of the Earth and you're left wondering when they're coming back, if they're coming back, and I refuse to be one of those people. If you have people that look forward to your content, and you have the chance/time to leave a note for people who come looking for you, it's a kind thing to do.
