A note on my profile. Due to the political climate, I am going back in a proverbial closet until I feel safe to be me.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 19h

I am so fucking sore from today's chores of sort for things to keep, donate or trash; working on a audio\video project and going up and down stairs.

I am going to sleep well tonight.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 21h

Spent a good portion of my day throwing water damaged shit from the basement in the garbage. Sadly, I ended up losing a couple of doll clothes pieces.

Then again the goal is to downsize so moving is less costly when the time comes.

Grandpa is still here...he has a pacemaker for brachycardia.

I am becoming more self-aware of my health. Trying not to dehydrate again this autumn. Last time I dehydrated was in 2018.

Good thing I bought the 4-pack case of Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus and still have a container of white rice.

Currently feeling run over. Eating rice and drinking fluids is the what I have been reduced to eating. No puking, but still I was glad to have rice and Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus on hand.

Once again, Q4 has left me financially drained. Either way, I still work in housekeeping. But today, I missed 2 dishwashing shifts due to a mystery illness. Either way, I plan to get my own place for myself.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 2d

Doing fine, just getting a day job to have some extra money on hand.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 2d

Dear @richardepcar.bsky.social,

Glad you have a convention gig. On the 19th, I will be celebrating my 38th birthday with my family. Of course, I will be at home.

I have been feeling bad. Just not myself. But I did practice my soundalike voices. It's fine.

With love for everything you do,
😇Angel😇

For the next 4 days, we're expecting rain, on and off. I probably will be inside after I severely drained my social battery.

I am so tired. Grocery shopping left me feeling beat up. I guess my social battery was low.

The Beast doll I have is the one that has the removable parts to reveal The Prince at the end of Beauty and the Beast.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 3d

When my father inspected my latest donation box, he ask "Why did you give the Disney PRINCES the boot?" I replied "I kept 4 of them" (I kept the Beast, Milo Thatch, Flynn Ryder, and Hans of the Southern Isles) (technically, Milo became King of Atlantis after the death of Princess Kida's father.)

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 3d

I still have more stuff to go through in the basement and it may take me all weekend and into my mom's days off.

I have to downsize in the event I move somewhere smaller. Again, I am still working through the dirty laundry, the garbage cans for regular trash and recycling, and donating stuff.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 4d

I did a buttload of cleanup today. Washing dishes, sorting paper work for the shredder and my accordion file folder, even donating some old toys I no longer want.

Yeah, I still have a long way to go to be prepared for the inevitable of grandfather's passing.

I'm okay, except for a chipped tooth.

As I sit practicing the muscle memory of using a laptop, I sometimes wonder about my future...

Will I find the right person for me?

Will I have a family of my own?

Will I be living in a nice house?

Or will I remain to care for my aging parents and their needs?

Only time will tell the truth...

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 6d

Dear @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com,

I just got a reply after calling the NJLDOL. I have a second job interview over the phone on the day after my 38th birthday.

I am awaiting more instructions via mail.

I also bought a decent laptop for work use. I am so excited!

Signed,
😇Angel😇

Healthcare system in New Jersey, USA, a place with 16 pharmaceutical laboratories, is broken in certain regards and choked with people in need of medical help.

I could say it in Dickensian style:
"Many can't afford to seek help and those that can rather die than lose their money.".

It is THAT bad!

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 7d

Today, I lost 3.2 pounds from last week.

I'm 311.8 pounds and counting.

Good thing, I am still working my way downward. I think my greatest goal for this year is to reach 300 or lower.

As for my day, I donated unwanted dolls, got my DVD collections into Wallets that I labeled with tag keychains

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 7d

I haven't slept well every night for the past 2 years. I get like 6 hours max and then have to work on some idea.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 8d

Just started a box of donations for the Salvation Army and found I had quite a few dolls...even a Harry Potter one. I decided after much internal conflicts, to donate him.

I outgrew him many years back, before the controversy.

Besides, senior year of high school only lasted 1 semester and I left.

With the weather being fickle where I live, it's unusually warm for October. My father and I agree that the way the world changed, it might be a weather issue involving our temperate climate.

It's raining on and off, though, so it is a welcome change for me (I'm allergic to plant pollen.)

TL;DR: Pretty visuals, great story, the impact is felt even today.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 8d

Watching the very first Toy Story. Even after 30 years, I am still blown away by the attention to detail within the limitations and how the story remains part of the long term pop culture zeitgeist as the first CGI animated movie.

Laptop keyboards require a different muscle memory from smart phone and desktop keyboards

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 9d

Getting used to the laptop is a little hard, but thankfully I learned to write a letter in my Office Word app.

Angel Goodwin @angelgoodwin.bsky.social · 10d

Dear @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com,

I'm setting up my new laptop. It's for work, but it can also do audio\video playback or video games

However, I will be working on it, getting used to it.

You must feel terrible after that long return flight. Get some rest. You deserve it.

Cordially,
Angel
