That Beautiful Time In The Morning

Hi all, long time no see. I'm not even sure if anyone still reads my poor blog, and if you do, thank you so much, that truly means a lot to me. I figured it was about time I popped back in here, dusted things off, and took inventory.

So I am sitting here during that beautiful time in the morning. You know the time. Around 5 A.M. when the birds are all chirping and the bugs are loud, and there aren't many other sounds but that. Everyone in your neighborhood is still asleep, and it's just you and nature. I love this time of the morning. I'd usually be seeing it after staying up all night and I'd be just about ready to crawl into bed. However, yesterday and today I am seeing it after waking up from a full night's rest. Completely weird and backwards for me, but I kind of enjoy it more. It gives me a moment of silence in the morning before everyone wakes up. I can truly focus on a few things before all the distractions start. So I thought I'd focus my attention here for a bit.

So, when I started blogging wayyyy back in the day, I did it mostly to talk about dolls and what I was currently doing with them and what I'd recently bought and what I had dreams of buying. While I still plan to do that here, I felt it left me limited as years went by. I'm not just focusing on dolls any more. I've always been a sort of Jill-of-All-Trades, so I like to tinker in a lot of things. I've never really shown that here because I felt I needed to keep this blog about dolls. I tried blogging over at Tumblr to kind of have more freedom to post what I wanted, but that blog quickly turned into a sort of weird Pinterest for me, and I already have a Pinterest account, so it started losing it's excitement for me. Now I mostly use it for when I have anxiety. I tend to reblog things of interest until I feel calmer. It usually takes 30 minutes to a hour and then I may not touch the blog again for several days to a week or more. I'm thinking of restarting the blog under a new email address so I can kind of make it a side blog to this one to inform more people of when I post here. I'd like this blog to return to being my main blog, but in order to do that, I have to change how I post here.

I want to change this blog into a hobby and lifestyle blog. I want to post about dolls, crafts, music, life, whatever is really going on with me. While I did work some of that in before, I never really got fully into that because this is suppose to be a doll blog. However, I think I this blog can work well being kind of a central point of all things me. So I will keep my Tumblr blogs as a side gig, and come back and give this place some love. I honestly have so much to share with you all. I've been on a sort of buying spree, also something I sometimes do when anxiety is high, and it's all been waiting to be shared. So I look forward to sharing all of that with you soon.

The birds are getting louder, the bugs are dying down some, and now there is a rooster crowing somewhere in the distance. Yes, a rooster. There has always been a rooster somewhere close by in all the years I have lived in my neighborhood. And on top of all this lovely nature, I hear a siren off in the distance as well. I have another 30 minutes of awesome bird time before it's all over. I'm not really sure how to spend it. I'm still trying to wake up, so maybe I'll just sit here and listen and try to pick out the different birds I hear. So, have any of you experienced this beautiful time in the morning? If there weren't so many huge black spiders outside during this time, I would so want to go out and sit on the porch and enjoy it. Well...and if it wasn't already 80 degrees at 5 something in the morning. A humid 80 degrees. You know what? I think I'll just sit here at my desk with the window open and just enjoy the birds this way. :-)

So I think I will close this post off here my lovely lads and lassies. I'm still groggy from sleep, my internal clock is trying to tell me it's time for sleep and I am trying to tell it that it's wrong. So I will let you all go for now. I'll probably be tinkering with the layout here some to make it look more interesting. I still can't decide what I want for it. I have someone helping me think through it and hopefully we will come up with something soon. But I will still post while I am trying to decide all that. I hope all of you are having an awesome weekend, and that you have a lovely Sunday. I will be spending my Sunday playing some Guild Wars 2, some Sims 4, watching David in The Kitchen (don't judge), writing, and planning some blog posts. I'd say that's a pretty decent Sunday. :-) Talk to you all soon. Take care until then. Bye for now.

Love always,
Michelle

Hey guys and dolls!

Hey guys! So it's been a while. I've been wanting to come blog, I still have tons of back blogs that most are outdated by now, but I just haven't had the motivation to post them. I've been pretty active over on Tumblr because it's so simple to blog there, but this blog is where my heart is at. I just feel that since I'm not doing anything in the doll hobby right no I don't have much to share right now. I can't get motivated and I was wondering why that was. Last night I found out that might be an issue with my thyroid disease. *rolls eyes* Great. Yeah, I have been stressing over that lately and some other stuff, but today I decided that I have got this disease for life and I need to either learn how to work with it or just give up on all my hobbies, and that is no bueno.

See here lately I've been having a foggy brain. It literally feels there is a gauzy curtain right in front of my "mind's eye" and I am almost at a point of eureka but I can't get there because of this curtain or brain fog. I have trouble concentrating as well, and this is all due to my thyroid issue. It's been frustrating, and then I add my stomach issues on top of that, and well I've been plain depressed and throwing the most epic of epic pity party on the block. Sorry I didn't send you guys invites, this was more a party of one. And I didn't even have cupcakes. Lame.

So after having a good sob over "woe is me", I've decided to just suck it up and move on. This is with me for life and I have to many plans in mind to let it get me down. So I am going to come back to blogging, post those backlog posts I have for you, update my layout, and become a part of the community again, because I miss doll talk, I miss being excited over your excitement, and I just plain miss blogging. It'll take some time to whip this bad boy...girl...thing into shape, but I will. Until then, feel free to watch me on Tumblr. I post reblog doll stuff, craft stuff, funny stuff, random stuff, fandom stuff...Supernatural *raises the roof*, and just whatever I find interesting. It's my way of staying connected to the community for now and it's been making me happy, for now. I have some stuff to share with you all and can't wait to post about it. Look forward to some big bulk posts from me and then I will return to regular posting once I've updated with backlogs. This is bound to be fun. :-)

Ok I will talk to you lovely people later. I hope all is well and I hope you are all having dollie fun! :-) Bye for now.
