I have not been able to read in ages - or much of anything really. I'm on a new medication that puts me to sleep as a nice side effect.
          	I'm supposed to take it 1st thing in the morning but, upon almost wrecking my car twice, I switched it to night. After still falling asleep randomly, I switched it to every Other night. 
          	Are you supposed to make changes like that? Absolutely Not. I've worked in pharmacies & doctors' offices. 
          	Would I rather let myself die by taking it regularly? Absotively Posilutely Not.
          	I'm just lucky that I never got the desk job that goes with my now $60,000, in student loans, degree.
          	Instead, I'm on my feet all day & able to stay awake. I would have already lost said job if I had gotten it

@VailedStarz I made the decision to stop taking it. The only thing you can do with a prescription, that's worse, is to have a heavy OD. Suddenly stopping a medication can be brutal on your system.
          	  However, I think this is actually much safer for me. I got a written warning at work the other day - as well as a couple of verbals. I cannot function on my days off & I obv can't be on my best at work either. 
          	  Excuse me but I have a mortgage to pay & my kid NEEDS a cardiologist I cannot even find cause of falling asleep all the time.
          	  It's a necessary med for my thyroid but life is more necessary. It's been 2 days without it & I'm starting to feel better now.

@VailedStarz I've been searching for a new doctor - since this one never listened to anything I had to say. Unfortunately, I tend to fall asleep at the computer too

Wattpad Premium books are supposed to be so awesome.
          However, I now find myself reading just to read. After all, you only get 1 month to read them for free. 
          I cannot tell you how many times I've just wanted to put my current book away but I'm reading it anyway. 
          There are just a few (I used to think many) really good authors here & I find it difficult to read any others now. Instead, I seem to just re-read the same stories over & over again.
          I'll try out another, realize they're just meh, read them anyway, & then go back to re-reading the same books as before

@VailedStarz I hope you were able to find some stories that you fell in love with! Check my reading list if you want recommendations.

@fublle I keep all my TSS on my original acct. Well, Roman has a list on here too but it's not even got all his stuff.
• Balas

fublle

@VailedStarz okay. That makes sense. I usually check to see if what I found has an ao3 version and if not, suffer through it. Actually, that sander sides fic Trustfall has an ao3 version, though is at the same update as the one on here.
• Balas

VailedStarz

Istg, I didn't think I would ever be able to get back on. My phone has let me read about 40 minutes in the past 2 weeks. Granted, I've been busy af but, I haven't been able to read much even when I've had the time. Imagine my surprise when Wattpad actually opened

VailedStarz

So, my $60,000 bachelor's degree, in Healthcare Administration, has me working in retail rn. Mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, it's fantastic for me.
          Omfg! I have 3 fave Latino families at my job & 1 of them I haven't seen since the election. They were there Sunday though & I about broke down. I already had a message written, in Google Translate, for if they ever Did come in. 
          Here I am, with a line of people & I hear this very faint "hello" from the other side. The mom is standing there, smiling at me, & she fn spoke English to me. She called for me. She smiled at me. She spoke English to me. hklrimdhflhgxih
          I immediately handed over my phone so I could keep working. The message was simple. "I've missed you. I've been worried about you. I'm so glad you are here." 
          As soon as I got the chance, I was actually able to figure out why I hadn't seen her in so long. She's been working an extra job now that her son is in school & she has more time. Their family is doing well rn. I didn't ask their status; I never do. I'm just happy that my people, for now, are safe. After what happened to that woman from Puerto Rico, I'm more scared than ever but seeing her was a big relief

strazydaze

@VailedStarz It was in Texas - not long before a Canadian was arrested, & sent to detainment, by ICE because her papers weren't in order. I have a friend in Canada who told me that they still haven't been able to get her back in over a week. I really need to talk to her to find out what's going on with the woman; I haven't spoken with her in a couple of days.
            I could even ask her about the 2 petitions they have going on. The 1st will revoke Elon's citizenship & the 2nd is to ban tRump from setting foot inside their country.

VailedStarz

Status Absolutely Does Not matter. Unless you're a straight white Christian man, that's it. I fall into the white category, & they would probably assume that I'm straight. Do they even know what bi is? My son is bi too. Meanwhile, my child is pan enby & we Had Planned to get their name legally changed but I don't see that happening anytime soon now. 
            At least their school is good though. They were Offered a pass for the use of single stall bathrooms. I was Not expecting that.
            We'll see how long that lasts 
            
            I cannot remember what state it is but they have just passed a bill to incorporate the bible into their K-5 teachings. Wtf?

@VailedStarz It's a valid fear. I'm Native American and have been told to have my tribal ID on me just in case. I don't think it truly matters what their status is. They aren't currently safe in this regime. I am very glad that they are okay, and I hope they remain that way. Good luck.

Heyyyy VailedStarz!
          
          Sorry to bother you, I know this can be annoying. I saw you commented on an orc romance book (Tansy of the wilds, I LOVED that one and was inspired by it), and was wondering if you wanted to give mine a shot? It's a sweet orc romance, featuring a shy princess and the commander of the orc armies! Just want to give it some more publicity. It's still early in the story, and I'm a new author (but I don't write badly, promise! ;) ) so any feedback is super appreciated<3

Yo, remember the cat shifter and Wendy the Wendigo, that whole series? I can not find it. The authors username is on the tip of my tongue. I can picture it, I can't read it. I was going to recommend it to someone and so went on a hunt through my reading lists and nada. I think they've finally gone.

VailedStarz

@563747y that is sad AF. That series was one of my favorites. Istg, if I ever somehow come across them, I will let you know. As of today, they're still just gone.

VailedStarz

So, EnticingElite is still nowhere to be found.  However, while I was going through my Keep notes, I came across this:
            1. How to Tame a Cat
            2. How to Catch a Fish
            3. How to be a God
            4. How to Save a Hero
            5. The Scared God
            6. The Unwanted Wendigo
            7. The Captive Titan
            + there are 3 side books, though unnecessary, have chapters (listed within the books), that are really good to read as well:
            How to Deal with War
            How to Deal with Demons
            Come and Get It
            
            I don't usually write out separate lists for books but someone had asked, at one time, & I had written them out in order for them.
            Now, I'm sad all over again though. I really loved that series

I wanted to post this to @amlkoski but she is wise enough to not allow anyone to post on her profile.

@VailedStarz I posted it on your page today. Your readers, & not-yet readers, need to know. This series is absolutely incredible. Can you guess what I'm getting for Christmas?

VailedStarz

Inkett has enabled side comments, like Wattpad has, & I'm super excited. There are a few books that, since they don't meet Wattpad standards, I've had to read on there. I've just hated not being able to comment. Since my phone hates ao3, this just makes it even better

VailedStarz

@sno_sno Now, if they would just make it so I could do my reading lists the same...
• Balas

VailedStarz

@Tippy446 prepare to be bombarded. When you finish rewriting AM, I plan to dive into a whole re-read of the series. Are you going to post the rewrite to Inkett with everything else?
• Balas

VailedStarz

@The_Revenant_King Inkett is another app/website for books. I've been on it for a while but, without the commenting, I still preferred Wattpad. However, if enough of my fave authors move over there, it will probably become my number 1

            It sounds really interesting. I enjoy new concepts! I'm not one for reading incomplete books; I've read too many in the past.
            However, I did add it to my library & I will Definitely check it out
