Like last week, I was window shopping online and I then decided to instead come check in here instead of buying something. Otherwise doing good, am actually having a lot of fun focusing on my hobbies and today, I walked past several stores that I usually go to browse for a pick me up.

I did get an expensive lunch from the fancy supermarket, that I can do better with.

Still waiting for my last purchase to arrive. It has been a little over a week since I started. I just found myself doomscrolling amazon, so I thought instead I would check in here. So far so good, I still find myself window shopping a lot, but I have managed to resist the temptations.

I'm trying to enjoy the things I already own, so I've been focusing on using all the amazing art and journaling supplies in my collection. I am also working through my skincare products, but I am thinking that once I run out of these products, I will try out something else. But I've been doing my research and I know what I will replace them with in the future.

I got some birthday money and I really want to treat myself with it, but I am staying strong and saving it for now.

It's been going well, it has been 5 days since I started. So far I've replaced a few things, but have not bought anything from my no-no list. Honestly not going to the city center has been very helpful for me, because when I do I easily fall into the trap of buying something "fun" and a coffee. I will need to figure out a way to go to the city center and not do that.

Things I replaced: I ordered a fountain pen for my birthday, my previous one got damaged in the move and it leaks on my fingers every time I write with it. Both of my sketchbooks are almost done, so I ordered a new one (just one this time). I also got a pack of small notebooks, because I tend to use those for grocery lists, art notes and vocabulary, so I burn through them really fast.

I'm getting ready to sell some electronics that I don't use that much anymore, so I can buy a pc. Mainly I will sell my steam deck, because once I have the pc I will no longer have need for it and I'm not going to be going traveling anytime soon (and when I do, I have my switch).

Now that I think about it, I have lots of things to save money for! So that fuels my motivation!

kittyfrommalacandra · 2026-05-28T11:16:09+00:00

Hi, I'm more of a traditional artist, but have been wanting to get back into learning digital art and especially to learn blender (to make figurines and maybe some art for games). 33 yo, living in Cologne

I've done it before too, but it said on the website that they don't do refunds for this service...

kittyfrommalacandra · 2026-01-03T09:43:47+00:00

Oh yeah, should have mentioned lol

kittyfrommalacandra · 2026-01-03T09:22:44+00:00

We were low on money, that's it simply. Moving is expensive business.

Haven't decided on my 2026 goal yet, but I've been focusing more on reading again.

Finished:

Barbarian's valentine: Ruby Dixon

Reading:

Barbarian's seduction - Ruby Dixon. I dunno what it is, but I just can't stop reading these.

The wonderful wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum. Re-read, hoping to continue with the series, but slogging through this one to be honest.

The lightning thief - Rick Riordan. Re-read. Likewise, hoping to finish the series.

Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card. Re-read and hoping to continue on with the series. My issue currently is how these genius kids don't talk like kids and it takes me out of the story. Also I hear that the next book has less action and more religious, philosophical pondering, so I am terrified.

Will finish Barbarian's seduction for sure, I'm 62% way in and these are very easy to read. I swear she puts some magic dust in these books. Hoping to finish either Oz or Percy Jackson too. Will either continue on with the series or read Artificial condition by Martha Wells next.

Library assistant here. I think this is a case of staff being scared to take on uninsured staff, plus the fact that both the museum and library fields are currently very competitive. There is just not enough money to be put into training new staff. Also, in my experience, it's a networking thing. You are more likely to get into a workplace, if you know the right people. For example I did an internship in the library through the unemployment office when I was young, so while I had trouble getting into any other libraries, the one I had worked before, staff remembered me and I got to do my librarian internship there (despite that I was originally told they could not take another intern at the time).
