A little late but a quite a few things happened in my life these past few months, some good and some concerning. So let's start with the best part to happen to my life, on July 7th, 2020, @FatalAryia and I got married! Short engagement, but we considered ourselves to have been engaged longer than that and really didn't see any benefits in not getting married. We already live together, we already share everything, and we really make an amazing couple! So got legally married by the state, which I want to add that we had to go to another state to get married because Kentucky sucks. Small rant, Kentucky is a terrible state to live in and I wouldn't recommend living here to anyone. You literally need to have the full marriage ceremony with two witnesses just to get a marriage license! Seriously, that's just one of countless reasons why this entire state sucks so much! I just wanted to add that little rant in there because it's why we had to travel to literally another state just to get married. We are also planning our wedding sometime in the future, still not sure when. My entire family and most of my friends still live in Massachusetts and many others are scattered about, so it's going to take time and money to plan everything for our wedding. Still, we do know a few things that we are planning, the first being that Potato will be the Ring-bearer, and Aryia's younger sister will have the more important role of the Potato Carrier. We also know that we plan on having this song playing when the wedding is finished
Why? Because wedding outro!
So yeah, still got a lot more planning to do for the future and waiting for things like COVID to stop being such a massive issue. The last thing we would want is for either of our loved ones to get sick attending our wedding. A lot of good stuff going on there and I am super happy for our future together!
This is the less fun stuff that I need to address, which is concerns about my health. Let me fully disclose that we do not know what's going on, nothing is confirmed, and nothing looks too serious but somethings are pretty serious. I talked about this in a previous blog, I really don't want to die anymore., which talked about my shift in mental health and concerns about my immune system. So my last visit with my doctor I decided to bring up concerns about my immune system and asked for some tests to be done. We did some basic testing and found that my white blood cells were a little elevated, vitamin D was extremely low, and my red blood cell count is low as well. Which has raised some concerns when coupled with me dealing with some deep bone pains throughout my body, mostly in my legs. So, yeah, kind of worrying stuff and we are still in the process testing for everything. We can confirm that it's not AIDS or anything like that, that's something that I've been tested for, even though I will be tested again just to make sure. I will keep the Temp posted on this because it's in development and it's kind of a scary thing going on. I am not going to lie, I've been a bit shaken from this because I really don't want this to be serious and the uncertainty is deeply upsetting.
Which on the topic of my health, it’s actually this doctor’s visit that is going to cause me to quit my job. The health insurance I got through my job only covered part of the bill and as a result, Aryia and I are going to be paying nearly $2,000 for our visit! I’ve spent the past few days fighting this and trying to get someone to deal with this and ended up being told that because my policy was new, they weren’t going to cover the full amount. This is on top of my health insurance not covering my medications and my pharmacy literally having to use GoodRx to cover our pills last time. Now, this is just the final straw for me as I was already getting sick of the job, to begin with. In recent months the job has started to become less rewarding as they’ve been quietly removing products that we make a commission on and not telling anyone when they do. A good example is that I used to make commissions selling Airpods, they remove that without telling anyone but still count the sales towards our sales numbers. So I have been keeping up the same constant rate of sales and not getting paid for those sales. The job has also been adding more and more responsibilities, requirements, and making it more stressful as an attempt to bump up sales, which has just resulted in everyone becoming more overworked and stressed out as result. The job simply isn’t worth it anymore when I am making less every month and current in debt because of this job. So it looks like I will be going back to Amazon for the time being and using the free time I get from leaving this job to help @FatalAryia with her art career!
My wife and I are actually planning on furthering her art career and I will be helping her along the way with that. She currently has a Patreon and a discord setup that we’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks. She’s also been building up her art resumé by taking in commissions and starting to make some fan art of her favorite video game characters. We also plan on making a webcomic based on a script that I’ve been working on for many years now. I am going to be keeping most of the details secret, but I am going to say that it’s going to be starring Lilith and Aryia, it’s going to be a satire of slice of life anime, and the story is loosely based off my real life. I am going to be writing most of the story and she is going to be drawing all of the art for it! I am pretty excited when we finally see this project get off the ground! We’ve been planning this comic since the day we got together and it’s been something we’ve been fleshing out for over a year now. I am also pretty excited to see her art career get off the ground and see that becoming a success for her! I’ve been rooting her on ever since day one, so this is a pretty amazing moment for us!
So there are a lot of unknowns in my future, some to look forward to and others that kind of shaken me. Still, I am happy that I am finally taking my health seriously, finally married to the woman that I’ve loved for so long, finally seeing our lives coming together, and just finally seeing a future. That being said, today’s Lilith art is brought to you by @FatalAryia! Just a cute little cubi desperate for attention!
