Still Going Strong

Guess what??? IM STILL ON THE MOST BESTEST BORING VACATION OF MY EVER LOVING LIFE!!!! So guess what?? Today… I put on real clothes. Well I mean I had on a hoodie but I wore REAL BLUE JEANS… AND… AND… I wore makeup!!! RED LIPSTICK AND did my eyes up so they would sparkle. I even added EYELINER!!! But here is the kicker y’all. I Khrys got up… and PUT.ON.A.BRA and real underwear not just old gym shorts. I was a whole person who VOLUNTARILY left the house at 830 this morning. I know you are asking “Why is this Chile( Child without the D on the end… Old black women say this) out here ready to go to the club?” Well I will tell you why. I glamorized so that I could**drum roll please** buy plants from Home Depot. I got dolled up with red lipstick and ER’THANG to go to Home Depot to buy plants. You can’t pay me to put on the tiniest bit of canceler for a regular ole day but let it be plant shopping at Lowes or Home Depot and that’s the game changer.

I walked out of Home Depot with 100 dollars worth of plants, potting soil, new pots and gardening gloves. I was in there for what seemed like FOREVER… but in a good way. I grabbed plants, put plants back, inspecting, grabbed more, put more back, dreamed about new BIGGER plants. I think the most jacked up thing about this is that when I got home and unloaded everything, I changed back to my hoodie and sweatpants, washed all of my makeup off, and took that bra off with a quickness.

My kitchen was completely destroyed in the process of repotting all of my plants. I had potting soil everywhere. My music was loud, I was singing even louder and having the gosh damn time of my life. There may or may not have been alcohol involved.

All that matters is that I had the absolute best day yesterday. How was your day??

Living My Best Introverted Life

Guess what… I am still on vacation and guess what?? I am living my ABSOLUTE BEST INTROVERTED LIFE!!!! OHHHHH MAAAAAAH GAAAAAAAAH!!! Not having to do peopling for three weeks is a gosh damn dream come true. I’ve been on vacation for a week now and I have left my apartment MAYBE 4 times . Grocery store and dentist. I have been happily crocheting blankets, eating all of the food and watching all of the Netflix. I have cooked all of my meals and have had absolutely no takeout. #GoMe #ADULTING

Part of adulting has included washing my hair. But not just washing but using this cleansing clay. Its part Clay(the powder) and apple cider vinegar. Slather the mix in your hair and then cover it for a while. As you can see below that I look a hot mess because I had to cover my hair with an old grocery bag and then covered that with not one but TWO shower caps because all of my hair won’t fit under just one.

Always a hot mess

I cleaned my apartment again… Well its not necessarily agin, it’s just that I never finished the first time because I was distracted. I was cleaning this time as well before I decided that my hair needed a deep clay detox. Can I just add that it takes FOREVER to wash all of that crap out of your hair?!?!?!?! HOLY HELL!!!! 2 days!!!! Every time I would wash it… It seemed that I would miss a spot. Finally Said “F&^$% IT!!!!” So after that came time to twist my hair. Normally I do it on a Sunday before I have to head back to work so I move really fast. BUT GUESS WHAT??? I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO soooo I TOOK ALL.DAMN.DAY!!! Made cocktails, twisted hair, drank, twisted hair, ate, twisted hair… and drank some more.

Between twisting my hair, drinking eating and crocheting… I’d say ya girl has been keeping her days pretty full. The other day my parents did the bestest thing EVER!!! Im talking they know what love is to me. Love… is all things food and random things that I think I need but really don’t.

Two GIANT packs of homemade tea cakes, TWO GIANT boxes of homemade lemon cookies. 4 PACKS of BBQ ribs, a bag of homemade rolls, and 1/2 a loaf of homemade chocolate sour dough bread. #WINNINGATLIFE They love me… They really really love me. Then mom sent me all of the tiny goodies: New workout leggings, tops, sports bras, all of the socks, allergy nose spray oh and Glitter pepper spray(She’s knows I love a good razzle dazzle) Ive been eating cookies EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!!! My dads baked goods are right up there with all things donuts and cupcakes. For those of you who know me know that donuts and cupcakes RULE MY EVER LOVIN UNIVERSE!!!!

CROCHET AND YARN ARE LIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!! I have been in crochet heaven!!!! Im working on like three things at one time because when I am bored with one, then I change over to another one and work until all of them are done!!!

Yesterday I went outside of my “Home bubble” and went to another introverts bubble where we proceeded to do what we do best drink and laugh. Going to someone else’s house meant that I had to put on real clothes… sort of. I just changed out of my sweats into a pair of leggings and a bra and actual underwear. I still looked a hot mess BUT at least I was a hot mess with undergarments on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Alright. Now it is time for me to finish my drink and go back to watching Netflix. Talk to you guys tomorrow!!!

Vacation Blog take 2…

Alrightee people. Guess what… I’m still on vacation. Im probably going to start every single entry this way. I am living my BEST BROKE LIFE right now. I shouldn’t be broke but I had dental work done yesterday that pretty much took ALLOFIT.(Yes that’s supposed to be one word)

Yes I Went to the dentist like this. Just a hot ass mess

I know you guys thought that I was joking when I said that I have “no plans to go anywhere”. Uhhhhhh I was dead serious. I am not going anywhere. I am going to sit right here in the middle of my bed in raggedy sweat pants and hoodie for the rest of my time off. I’m not even going to bother to put on a bra. Thats how SERIOUS I am. I do have a few goals though.

  1. Finish all of the blankets that I have started crocheting.
  2. Get some kind of workout it every day.
  3. Repot all of my plants.
  4. Continue to organize and clean my tiny apartment
  5. Eat all of the food and drank all of the dranks.

Let’s break all of this down shall we? Yes we shall. Ok so I have basically told anyone that’s having life changing events in their life that they are getting a blanket. Since covid hit yarn has been my sanity. It has been my happy place. It has been my peace of mind. There was one thing that I said that I would never do and that was make a blanket. I said I would stick to scarves and call it a day. Well Covid hit and I was like “Maybe I could do a blanket or two.” 10 blankets later and I am still going!!!! Everyone is buying houses and having babies and I AM HERE FOR ALL OF IT!!!! Honey let me celebrate you the best way that I know how and that’s by making something for you. Am I charging?? Not really. If someone wants to pay then I just tell them to pay what they think is fair. I don’t feel that it’s professional level work. Some of my edges are kind of wonky or I miss a stitch somewhere… I am getting better though. When I feel that my crochet game is at a really good level then I will have set prices. Until then… its just pay what you want. Is that the best move? HELL NO!!! But a lot of these people didn’t ask for the blankets. I just offered them because I am bored and have the yarn and hooks and need something to do.

Bullet point number 2. Get in a workout… ER’DAY!!! Ok so for the past 5 years my free time has been dedicated to running OCR. Well covid hit and shut ALL OF THAT DOWN. With absolutely no motivation for anything… I stopped moving. I know there were and still are a ton of virtual races and events going on but for me it’s just not the same. There is something about the energy that surrounds you at those races. It’s now freezing and covered with ice and snow outside so running is also a no go. The gym is also a no go because… COVID!!! So I purchased the CrossRopes set, some resistance bands and… yeh that’s it. I’m determined to do something every day even if its just a few minutes. Last night I did a 16 minute cross ropes workout and the night before I did 15 minutes of ab work with the FitON app. I woke up this morning, sneezed and about DIED!!! EVERYTHING HURT!!!! OH MAH GAH!!!

Bullet Point number 3 is to repot all of my plants… and maybe buy some new ones. All of my plants have kind of outgrown their pots and need new soil and new pots. Since the pandemic hit, I have become that crazy plant mom. They all have names, I talk to them every day to make sure they are ok. I play music and make sure they all get plenty of sun. So I will probably get all of this done next week.

Bullet point number 4 is to continue to clean and organize my apartment. My apartment is a little over 350 square feet. Its not like I have a ton of stuff but I am easily distracted, and hate folding laundry. I start off cleaning and then somehow find a face mask and all cleaning is forgotten. By the end of this vacation my skin is going to be gosh damn flawless.

By the end of this vacation, my pores are going to be AHHHH MAZING

Bullet point number 5 I have been doing pretty well with. I have been eating all of the food and drankin all of the dranks!!!! Margaritas have been my go to because tequila treats me right. Ive cooked all of my meals and haven’t ordered take out one time!!! GO ME!!!!!!!!!

Now lets see what the rest of this vacation brings.

So This is What Vacation Is

HO-LY SHIT it has been a hot minute since I have touched this blog. I think part of the reason was because I felt that I just didn’t have the time. Part of the problem was because I was slightly depressed and I didn’t want to just be a person that bitched about everything when people were and still are going through rougher shit than me. I know for a fact that there was absolutely not one ounce of motivation… Not a sprinkle… Not a fleck or even a spark of glitter… NOTHING!!!

Ok lets fast forward a bit shall we. I’m at a new job and I am happy and at peace. I am not stressed out about the unknown and I no longer feel trapped. I am still a nanny. Anyway as of right now I have 3 weeks off from work. 3 weeks. That’s three weeks of thinking of no one but myself. Thats three weeks of sleeping solid. Thats three weeks of no peopling. OH MAH GAH HOW AMAZING IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!?! Socially this pandemic has been AWESOME for me!!! I am super introverted and am living my best introverted life. “I can’t talk to anyone??? SIGN ME UP FOR THAT!!!” “Ohhh You want me to stay home??? DON’T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!!!!” ” Do not go outside??? YAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!” “You mean to tell me that you just want me to stay in my apartment and look out my window day in and day out??? MF DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!” **insert my best Tina Belcher dance moves right here**

This is Day 2. Technically its day 3 but as for full days of absolutely no work this is day 2. I have been in sweat pants and tank top for 2 full days. My biggest decisions have been: “which coffee am I making today??” “Order breakfast or cook it myself??” “Do I put on a bra today?? Do I even want to put on underwear??” ” Am I combing my hair today??” A lot of my decisions have basically been yes or no questions and the answers to a lot of those questions have been “No” or “Maybe” Most of the time its no. You want to know what I have said yes to??? “Should I make a drink?? Yup” “Oooh finished that drink… should I make another??? Yes I should.” “Going commando today??” “Yes. Yes I am.” For the remainder of my time, I don’t have to do SHIT outside of this apartment. Everything can be delivered and I can workout in my apartment. WINNING AT INTROVERTED LIVING!!!!! I will fill my time up with crocheting all of the blankets, trying every single face mask under my sink, drinking all of the drinks and just enjoying everything that is Khrys. I will clean and have dance parties for 1. Oh and if I do go out in public then I have to step out as tacky as possible. “Match… for what?? Who am I trying to impress??”

  • ALL OF THE YARN
  • BOOTS AND SWEATS
  • NOTHING MATCHES
  • GIGGLES
  • FACE MASK TIME
  • BOTTOMS UP

I know to a lot of people this sounds like the most boring vacation in the world. This is a time where I can sit in the silence of my mind and just be. This is a time where I can live in my head. This is a time where I can turn the switch off and recharge my internal battery. So every day during this here vacation I am going to blog. I don’t care if it is just a single word… Something will be written. Let the introverted adventures BEGIN!!!! **insert creepy manic laughter here**
