So I gotta say this was a pretty epic week for me ^_^

- Abilify has been added to my drug plan \o/ there was no way I could afford to take it, which is why my doctor had been sampling me until now. And with a fresh supply of pills I've been noticing positive results again.

If that wasn't great enough I give you this:

-
Oh Yes! That is none other than Martha Jone's Jacket which came in on Tuesday from Abbyshot I'm 100% thrilled with the cut and fit ^_^

And finally

- Progress on Berlin, last time to yesterday.

It doesn't feel like the home stretch yet, but I'm getting there.

For some reason I was reminded today of just how many little things I'd wanted to post this month. Unfortunately my depression took a serious noes dive [thanks in no small part to excitement of a possible trip to Holland. I didn't realize until I knew it wasn't going to happen just how much I really need a change of scene]

So I think the only way I'll ever get caught up is if I make a list of the weird--I won't go so far as to say 'wonderful' don't promise what you can't deliver right?--things that have been piling up.

First: have a couple of TARDIS sightings
mum thought the design on the back of this hoodie looked TARDIS-esque


AJ and I were out for a walk one day when we noticed this lovely blue house ^_^

See the window above the door? Unfortunately I understand from my dad that isn't bigger on the inside, but seems ridiculously made up of hallways.

Second: A cross-stitching update.
I've been struggling for awhile now to stitch but picked up a pattern which I realized I needed to restart and have been making a lot of progress.

First image is where I was with the first attempt, I was stitching over-1 on 32ct, which I've decided is smaller than I actually want to try and work. Second picture is the restart stitching over-2. I started January 16th and that picture was taken on the 26th.

What else?

Oh! the money Alwin wanted to give me for the pillow, came in the mail today, which was a great relief. He hopes I can put it aside for my 'future' trip to Holland. That would be wonderful, but isn't possible. However my Oma has given me a gift I really don't deserve which has left me feeling like saving up for a trip is no longer impossible, it'll still take me quite awhile but *fingers crossed* I should manage it, in the not too distant future.

I believe there was more that I'd wanted to share, but I've either decided not to lay it on all of you...or--and probably more accurately--can't remember right now ^_^

For starters, here's an updated picture of Whiskers that I just too.

Where I was on March 30th and now April 11th

I'm steadily working on filling in the black of Whiskers' coat right now. I think I'll feel like I've over come a major hurdle when I'm done that.

Showed Sherlock Holmes to my family on Friday [at my uncle's home theater] it was a huge hit, and I've acquired a new addictive habit. Those of you that know me, know I hardly ever actually sit still for any length of time. And if I'm watching something I'm not really content unless I'm also doing something with my hands. This usually involves writing or more recently cross-stitching, neither of which I can do in a theater setting.

I decided to pick up a silver dollar [I call it that despite the fact its 1980 so nickel] and learn to roll it across the backs of my knuckles. It takes a surprisingly little amount of time [or maybe I practice more than most] to learn. It's ideal to keep whatever portion of my brain doesn't like to be bored occupied ^_^

shuffles and I watched the first episode of Doctor Who Season 5 - \o/ Am most thrilled with Eleven. I think the conversation he had with Amelia was what completely won me over, Ten was so obviously in there! I'm really looking forward to seeing more adventures with Eleven!
