All gift things for the godson are in. I also recently learned that Etsy sold out? Which I guess I shouldn't be surprised happened but still, eww? There's still a few retailers on it that are trying their best and I can tell the products look good at least, but when those big sellers start gaming the algorithms harder, then things are going to go to shit fast.

It reminds me of how Flickr used to be a great community until Yahoo bought it and they tried to streamline it by finding ways to make it harder to use. Fun times. Fun, terrible, times.

My weight is fluctuating all over and what's probably making it worse is my mild migraines that may be from hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia since I'm cutting back on my carbs again although I don't know anymore. My joints are feeling sore from overuse though my upper body muscles are looking pretty tight (an annoying contrast from my legs which are fairly tight but flexible). Despite that, my results are barely showing, which makes sense: I'm not exactly taking creotine or anything professional for this.

Been really tired these days, though.

I've heard that about Etsy - it is supposed to be a site for people to sell handmade goods but companies came in to sell items under the guise they were a small business.

I got to check with someone who does crafting and she confirmed as well that they're also raising the cut of what they take from sales, basically making it unsustainable for small shop owners. It's pretty messed up.

It's a worry with how many sites and companies are bought out by bigger ones now, and how quickly it's happening. :/

I hope you feel better soon!

It comes and goes, I think it's just a result of losing so much weight and getting old: it's kind of annoying, but hopefully it gets better if I lose more weight/replace it with muscle!
