It's hard to believe we are approaching the end of June. Where has the time gone??
This past year has been tough. I highlighted some of the stuff in my November update, but I was convinced 2025 would be a better year - HAD to be a better year. It has been worse, and we're only halfway through the year. I posted about the first 3 months of 2025 on my personal blog --> How 2025 Is Going So Far. I was sick and didn't feel great for a good portion of January. We lost Bailey in February after his 6-month battle with cancer. Ever have one of those days where you are stubbing your toe, dropping everything you touch, running into door frames, and whatever project you are working on is being extra difficult? Yeah, that has been all of 2025, every day all day for me. 😕 I have also been dealing with some personal issues and definitely some hormonal issues this year. (Gotta LOVE getting older...)
And then at the beginning of this month, we lost of one of our seemingly healthy 2-year-old cats, Vidalia. 😭 Her passing has been much harder than Bailey's and Targét's because whatever claimed her life came out of nowhere and was unexpected and quick. I have a more detailed post about Vidalia on my personal blog if you would like to read more. I miss that little girl so much. 💔 To many, she was just a cat, but to us, she was family.
We are still waiting to hear from Auburn University regarding an FIP test that was sent off. Not knowing what caused her quick decline has been tough also because we have 4 other cats to worry about. Any worry I do. It's definitely been anxiety-provoking. Whenever these two are hanging out with me in my room, I find it really hard to get up and do anything anywhere else because I just want to be there with them.
So if you are currently waiting for a custom video (or an email response...), I appreciate everyone who has been so patient. I am doing better today than I was 2 weeks ago, but some days are still really tough.
Speaking of my personal blog, I launched that back at the end of March, and each month I will post a video montage of snippets throughout the previous month. Plus, other things I want to write about - both personal and regarding the fetish work I do. I decided to take the personal blog stuff off of my Patreon, so that can be found here now --> Real Talk.
For those who have been checking periodically for video updates here, you know that the video store on Fanta's website went offline the beginning of April. The app I use to serve the links when you complete an order decided to go from $19/month to $159/month, and I couldn't justify a 736% price increase. Who does that shit?! The past 2 months have been really discouraging and insanely busy, so I never looked for a replacement. But with Clips4Sale's limitations on the types of clips you can post (no out-and-about videos that remotely show anyone in the background without a consent form), and their new requirements for admin stuff, I knew I needed to bite the bullet and just focus on finding a replacement app and getting things set up. (Clips4Sale is currently requiring all creators to go back through all of their previously posted stuff to add performers - models - and consent forms. I had over 2,600 clips that needed this. Still working on it. 🤬 Even though they told us 2 years ago these clips were grandfathered into their new 'rules.' But whatever.)
Anyway, this past week, I worked with another app through their customer service and FINALLY got a replacement in place and working! Then I spent a day and a half going through the 150 videos already posted, updating the links for downloads, plus adding the clips I had posted to C4S during Fanta's downtime. It is now current and up-to-date, with new content being added here again.
About 3-4 weeks ago, I started having issues with my phone's main camera. Pictures were very blurry and wouldn't focus when I tapped the screen to focus. After Googling, I discovered smacking the phone against your hand clears it up for a better picture. WTF? And I've NEVER been able to take decent close-up pictures (flower pictures mainly), which irritated me so much. It just wouldn't focus with that either. I didn't realize I'd had this phone for 4 years now (Galaxy S21 Ultra), so yesterday morning, I finally broke down and ordered a new S25 Ultra - OUCH my wallet. 😲 But having a dependable on-the-go camera is essential. After doing custom pictures this past Monday and having to review them after 5 pictures at a time (to see some were blurred or most would be blurred if I didn't smack the phone), I knew I would have to do something. I also do almost all of my Patreon content with my phone and about 80% of all my custom videos because, honestly, the quality far exceeds about every other camera I've used - even the GoPro.
So, I am waiting for that to ship and come in. The GoPro definitely has its place with some videos, especially in the cars. However, I have always HATED the sound quality on the GoPro. AMAZING video quality (most of the time), but terrible audio quality. So I also invested in some add-ons for the GoPro to improve sound quality when I have to use the GoPro for certain videos. I'm waiting for those items to arrive as well.
I know I've had quite a few people asking about clothing and shoes/boots I might have for sale, and this is the next thing on my list to tackle. I do have quite a few things I am selling. I just need to snap a few pictures and weigh each item so I can get them up in the Items for Sale section. Once I get those all posted, I will post a big announcement at the top of the main page so you know about that.
And then I need to start working on ME. While I am aware there is a BBW category, I feel so unhealthy right now. I've had trouble the past month or 2 with nausea, shortness of breath, GI issues, and off-and-on odd head feelings. I am the heaviest I've been in my life, and I am so out of shape, if I tried to do Zumba now, I might die. 😂 Seriously though, having just turned 46, I am too young to feel this old, and I need to take better care of myself. I have a 6-month checkup next week, so hopefully all bloodwork is good, and I can just work on eating healthier and adding in some exercise (mainly walking right now) to get some energy back - and so my current clothes and boots fit better. Having to work hard to get into some of these outfits for customs and pictures has been... blah. If I don't do something soon, my current wardrobe will be very limited.
So that's pretty much June's update. I will get there eventually... at some point.
