iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Today would have been my Papa’s birthday. I got a cake to sing and wish him happy birthday and wrote him a letter. It’s the first time I’ve done that since he’s passed. I’ll always miss him but I want to celebrate him too. He deserves that.

Made tofu “wing bites” tonight with Wingstop inspired seasoned fries and a little “homemade” ranch. First time I’ve done it and it’s one I’ll be doing again. Maybe garlic parm next time!

It’s Friday. I couldn’t be bothered with making my lunch so cafeteria for me today. And I’m ready to go home and have a nice rainy weekend with my games and my crafts and my books and my music. Let’s go.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth is among us. Ugh, it is evil incarnate I swear. I hate it.

Anyone else really like Alex Warren? The more I learn about him and the more I listen to his music, the more impressed and overwhelmed I am. WILDCHILD is a great album. The grief acknowledged in his lyrics. The joy and wonder in other songs. Perfect mix. My vibe. Happy and sad at the same time.

Anyone want to help me get to the UK to get my Social Work degree since the US doesn’t believe in having helpers anymore? I knew this is the way it was going but the reality of it is so upsetting and heartbreaking. I just want to help children. Advocate for children and keep them safe.

Tonight I made butternut squash and pumpkin mac & cheese. It’s pretty dang good. I added broccoli as a side, for health.

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I feel really happy. I’m engaging in my hobbies more and loving it. I feel really grateful for this life I’m building. I have a lot of faith in the future (hey-oh, I miss Louis) & I believe in my goals and myself. Hanging onto this as I head into my rough time of the year. 💗

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I feel like I shouldn’t enjoy Fortnite as much as I do. Why is it so fun?

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I want to go to an arcade. So so badly. I’ve been falling back in love with video games and I wanna play more and go to arcades and let me and my inner child have fun. 🎮

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Today’s crafting creative project. Giving it a little repaint (in process) & gonna add a little sparkle because duh. Everything needs sparkle.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Got another W this morning. Yes, I’ve managed to get the wins with the Mega Man Blaster helping. When that’s gone, I am in big trouble 😅😅

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Another one. LET’S GOOO!! Again, this game can be so frustrating but it’s also so fun.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Got out two more Sprites in Fortnite. I know no one cares but I’m having so much fun playing this game & now with the Kingdom Hearts stuff in there with the other classic games nods it makes my heart so happy. I’ve always been a video game girl, I just finally learned to express my love for it.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Yeah, I’m waiting for resales. I’m not dealing with Ticketmaster or buying any tickets for Harry yet. “These are the last shows” but yup wait, here are more dates. I’ll just wait ☺️☺️

020

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Got killed by the storm and I placed 2nd but I got 2 more sprites. Fortnite is crazy!

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I always get confused when people say “oh it’s such a hard job. You’re so patient.” about my job. I don’t know how to respond. This is just what I do. I’ve worked with children since I was 17. I have 2 degrees in this field. Babies have been the classes I’ve worked with the most. It’s what I do.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I want to see Harry but I am not doing the Ticketmaster madness. I’ll be checking for resales thanks. It’s just way too stressful & aggravating.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

This was my little crafty project today. I made the cloud from air dry clay (forever ago actually) I added the beads. My original plan was to use embroidery floss for the rainbow but I like the beads better. (There is only ROYGBV no I but that’s ok!) 🌈

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Happy Saturday. I’ve already been playing with my clay and making a few things. I’ve branched out into charms for like necklaces and beads! I’ve loving getting to know this material more.

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It’s storming & I really didn’t want to come to work today. I’m just tired and over so many things in a weird way. I love what I do. I’m just tired of…here. The here where I am like physically & just like…yeah.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I miss Louis Tomlinson so freaking much. I MISS HIM!!!!!

001

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Just finished 2nd in a Fortnite round. Very proud of that. That game is ridiculous sometimes but it sure is fun.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Long weekend has started. Thank goodness. You know how sometimes you just need a break? That’s me. Nothing bad going on just need a bit of a break.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I have wanted today to be Friday since last night. It’s pre Friday. Which is ok but why are the weeks so long???? 🫠

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Just listed my Harry ticket. I just can’t afford to go. Hopefully someone can get it and have a blast & maybe I can catch him next time. 🪩💋

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

🐇🐇🐇 Finally September. Have autumnal treat today y’all.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Getting very into polymer clay. Still very much a beginner. Currently only making stud earrings but it’s fun thinking of different things I could do!

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I made a thing today and now my brain & my heart feels a little better.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

You ever feel like breaking down sobbing in the store (Five Below specifically) because right now I do. I’m just trying to find some craft supplies to make myself feel a little bit better but there’s very much a slightly happy but incredibly sad at the same time feeling happenings. This week man.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

God, Wolf Alice is so good. Every couple of months I remember just how good.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Now Tim Curry?! Oh my god.

020

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Wearing my Dolly earrings today and all black because I am in mourning. Deep mourning. I feel like I did when my MeMe (my grandmother) died.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Oh my god, I’m so sad. I am so so sad. I home and I’ve just cried and cried.

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Fortnite is hard but also fun and I get to be Sonic which is pretty sick.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Feeling the deep need for some serious self care this weekend. Tonight I’ll have a little drinky (or 2, 3? Just 2), a bath, some video game time and this weekend I will craft and play in some dirt, and clear my brain. Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh

130

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I miss Louis so so so so so much. It doesn’t make sense. I do miss him so much!! 😩

021

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Time to be honest: I think I’m gonna sell my Harry ticket. I just do not want to go to New York. It’s never been a place I’ve wanted to visit honestly and it’s too freaking expensive. So if you or someone you know what a ticket for Oct. 3, let me know.

001

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I’m trying to figure out how I really feel about Fortnite. I am not very good but tonight I managed to finish 11th & 16th in my battles so I guess I should just keep trying.

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I was pulling the bag from the bin, which is why the lid was on the floor. I wasn’t like doing something absolutely wild 🫠🫠🫠

020

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I somehow got caught on the lid of my kitchen bin and slid across the floor a bit and landed on the floor. It was a very confusing experience. I’m fine just not sure how it happened 😅😅

120

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Dang it, working out relatively regularly really does make you feel better. It’s amazing how your perspective on stuff like exercise or just wellness in general can change when you realize you can absolutely do EXACLTY WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. You can mix and match and change your mind. AMAZING!

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

This Kindgom Heart news has gotten me very excited. I’m looking into game console purchase options so I can start replays (for real this time) and be ready for KH4. YAY!!!

000

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Got told I was essentially bad looking today. By a fully grown woman. Who’s a colleague. So it was cool. My day was really on the up tick after that. 🫥

100

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

My dinner plate. LOTS of veggies. Yummy cheese. Really perfect crackers. Delicious peanut butter & chocolate snack mix. A lot of these veggies will be in my lunch tomorrow ☺️

120

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Decided I just could not handle cooking tonight. So “picky plate” dinner it is (aka charcuterie w/on the meat) but they also means I had to make a plan for my lunch since I usually take leftovers. Tomorrow I’m having veggie pinwheels & BBQ chips. Being a planner typer person is tiring.

010

Cate A. @iamcate.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Not even 6:30 PM and I’m in my bed because there was just nothing else to do??? So I’m doing word searches and sudoku before I read. Who am I and what is happening??? I need friends or something.
