Ugh. Sorry for going missing like that.

Isn't that little bubblegum tongue just so perfect and adorable!? ('Bubblegum' is what my husband and I call cat tongues, especially when it's a black cat, because the pink contrasts so well against the fur color.) Adorable blep is courtesy of Comet.

Hey guys. Sorry for just vanishing like that.

I've been working on stuff, sleeping, spending time with my husband over the weekend.

I tried to take pictures of my eyes, but they aren't turning out well. And it's really painful to keep getting myself in the eye with the flash. I have some older photos of my eyes that I took years ago, which I personally think are beautiful, but my eye color changes in hue. The hue tends to go back and forth between being more green and being more blue. But they aren't just green/blue color changing. There's more to it than that, which is why photos are necessary. However, the person that guessed hazel I think is the winner, since that's what's on my driver's license because the DMV couldn't figure out what color to put on my license (and there is brown). But I won't announce an actual winner until I can post pictures. I promise that in future Let's Play a Game posts that it won't go this long unless intended to, in which case I'll let you know.

I'll have to have my husband take a picture of my eyes once he returns home from searching for our friend's missing father.

In case you haven't already heard and you're in the #KansasCity area, my friend's dad went missing several days ago. My friend had to travel up here from quite a ways away to be with his family and to look for his father. As much as I don't want to think about it like this, I think it's pretty obvious that we're looking for a body at this point. I feel so awful for our friend and his family.

I had planned on participating in the search, but I woke up feeling like absolute death. So...yeah. I feel really awful that I'm not there right now. But at this point in time, I'd be completely useless.

I'm still working on Freebie Friday WEEKEND requests. Requests are still open for another eight hours!

I also had a thought about #FreebieFriday, would anyone be interested in watching me draw the requests via lifestream? Won't be doing it this weekend, but I mean in the future. I think it could be fun, but I also want your opinion on the matter.

Working on three contests to launch soon! All three will center around the same theme, but be different mediums. I may actually launch four, but I'm not sure about the fourth yet. The fourth possibility will take longer to put together, so it'll probably take longer to launch, if I do launch it. The fourth one is basically a choose your own adventure game much like @papa-pepper's STEEM-POCALYPSE, but it'll have to do with animals. (No, not furries.)

So, I've been using chloraseptic throat spray to fight the electrical nerve pain in my shoulder blades for a could days now. It's been working fantastic for me! It works better if I scratch my skin up a bit with the back scratcher before applying the chloraseptic, but it works! I hope it continues working, because this is the most relief I've had in years.

I recently hit reputation 50!

And I'm gonna convert my SBD to USD very soon. With part of it, I'll most likely be getting a daith piercing in my left ear to help fight off my horrible migraines. A lot of people swear by them, and a lot of people (most of which haven't even tried the piercing) claim that they're useless for anything beyond aesthetic reasons. My migraines are so damn bad and frequent, that I'm gonna go ahead and take the dive and give it a try. Yeah, I get infections at the drop of a hat, but if I take good enough care of it, I think I'll be fine, since I don't tend to get infections around my ears.

I'll make sure to document how it goes and hopefully my experience with it, positive or negative, will be useful to others and help them weigh the pros and cons and make a better informed decision.

The rest of the payout will go to our truck. The reason it isn't all going to our truck is because if I can get the migraines under control, it'll help me to be more of a functional human being, and if i'm lucky, it'll give me more energy to spend on earning money.

Um...what else? Oh! Yeah! Tomorrow will mark one year exactly since I had all my teeth removed. A year without teeth, there've been ups and downs but damn do I not regret getting rid of them. I regret that things ended up the way they did, but considering how bad things did get, I'm very happy to not have teeth.

The way things have been going here on Steemit, I may very well be able to finally afford dentures in the not-so-far-off future!

I have a Discord server! Come hangout and chat with us. It'll be the home base for chatting about the contests I'm launching (once they're launched) and Freebie Friday, and just hanging out and chatting in general. You can join us here.

Alright, that's enough for now! Back to Freebie Friday requests and working on contests to launch and other interesting content! (At least, I find it interesting. Hopefully you will, too!)

Take care guys!
