I'm proud of everyone in my small-ish town that showed up today. There were a lot more people than I expected, and even more who honked or waved or cheered as they drove by. It feels good to know that fellow residents won't turn a blind eye, or condone fascism and cruelty.

This first week or so with the new pack has been very good to me! I also got a shiny Gabite and some full art cards, including the three star Suicune EX with the cutscene.
Life on the other hand, is not so good to me right now. I caught COVID for the first time, and I'm in quite a bit of pain.

First Pokemon game + starter
I still remember that my level 60-70 Empoleon was replaced with a level 100 Empoleon in the 5th grade. I did not ask him to do this, we just needed to swap some Pokemon for Pokedex/trade evolution purposes. That's not the baby I raised from level 5, Joseph.

I didn't know that today is International Cat Day! Here are some of my favorite photos of my lovely gremlins, Squirt (orange) and Waffle (not orange). I can't imagine my life without them, and I hope they both know they're dearly loved and cherished. May they live long, happy, healthy lives.

I forgot to post my Lugia ten-pack results! The first three are from yesterday, and I just pulled the shiny Nidoqueen.

More cards, and this is still from the Ho-Oh ten pack!

I had over 300 pack stamina saved up, some from trading the old trade tokens, so I opened 10 packs from the Ho-Oh and Lugia packs. I had some wild luck today!
By the way, why did I get six cards in one pack? Is this a rare thing?

The full art Eeveelution cards are so pretty!!
I've been able to get all of these since Eevee Grove dropped. I can't wait to see what the others look like.

Day One of the Woodshed's 1st Renaissance Fair in Topeka!
I lasted two hours and failed to get any full outfit photos, but I did do the whole thing in heels without dying.
I got many compliments, with the highest probably being that I looked like Sylveon. Now I have to add the ears to this!

I was worried that I would never pull a shiny in Shining Revelry until I got Dondozo, but Celestial Guardians is treating me so well!! I also recently got a Decidueye ex and the art card for Morelull!

I've got three! I'm missing Infernape, so I'll trade if no one hasn't yet!

I did so well with getting seeds to sprout and keeping sprouts alive... I'm overflowing into different windows and rooms now. I'm more than happy to donate, I just need more space 😭 Send help

What a lucky day! No shinies yet, but I'm still hoping.

I think I've outdone myself this time! This year's spring spiritual fair had a lunar theme, and I chose to represent Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, and Enepsigos, a demoness from the moon. Apparently, my contest piece was the talk of today 😅 I'm just happy to volunteer and see everyone again!!

Hmm. I wouldn't have thought I'd get Palkia out of a Dialga pack. But hey, it's one of the super rare cards!!!

Also got these! Palkia completes my set for cutscene cards with Dialga and Arceus, and Spiritomb completed a task! The cutscene cards always amaze me

My new goal is to be able to make at least one jar of pickles this year, if I can keep the cucumber plants alive. I might have to give some away, since I had so many good sprouts! I hope the tomatoes and peppers make it too.

I went out in my full Lolita outfit today and got mostly positive reactions! I talked with a barista about buying pieces online and cosplay/anime. A really sweet cashier told me all about her days as a lifestyler goth, and that she was happy to see such bold outfits! I also bought a plant!

I'm so glad I saved up my hourglasses! Plus an art card I got from the packs from finishing the Special Missions.
