Kind of tempted to take Wednesday off because why do I have four straight hours of meetings on my birthday, this is cruel and unusual (In fairness, one of them is ripe for folding laundry)

I don't mind working today since I'm taking the rest of the week off but my brain is very much not here.

My parents don't really eat leftovers but still make a ton of food for Christmas dinner for some reason, so now my post-holiday meal prep plan includes using some of the turkey and ham that I'll get tired of eating in a few days.

I must have been a very good Sushi because I finally got a god pack in TCG Pocket!!!!!

To the person I just 1v3'd in GBL with shadow Toucannon alone: happy holidays and I'm so sorry.

Happy Festivus, ya nerds

I'm sleeping ten hours a night despite going to bed when I normally would on east coast time. It's the worst of both worlds.

Oh thank goodness, I misheard the fifteen degrees and it's closer to fifty in F. Hello Atlanta, I'm back in you! Now get me off this plane; I need to pee.

On the plane back to Atlanta. I don't wanna.

I've been exploring some coffee shops in the area while I'm in San Diego to get out of the boyperson's apartment and to get some sunlight during the work week and look, I need a moment alone with this baklava.

Day two of SoCal coffee exploring was less successful. If I can hear the shop music loudly over my very loud earbuds, that's no bueno. But at least I'm getting some daylight because the sun sets before I'm done with work and that's some bullshit.

It's 46F at home right now and I'm so glad to be in sunny SoCal where the short walk to a coffee shop was perfect basking weather.

Writing about binary content at work and resisting the urge to discuss nonbinary content.

Look, Spotify Wrapped already guessed my age right on the money today so let me enjoy this 90s girl pop blasting in the airport pickup zone in peace. Also, Born to Make You Happy. Haven't heard that one in awhile.

You know what's rude? Starting at home in broad daylight, flying three time zones west, and being plunged into darkness upon arrival.

I had a friend help get my bag down the stairs and to the train station, and the luggage person was grumpy at me when I was checking it because I couldn't lift it due to getting sliced open, but this little bit of exertion through security and to my gate is the most activity I've had since surgery.

Got the mostly clear (still no heavy lifting for awhile) at my post-op appointment!

I did not get a Pikipek with good PVP IVs. This is biphobic.

I don't do Black Friday in general, but getting cut open last week, lifting restrictions, going out of town next week for two weeks, AND my condo charging me for leaving stuff in the package room for too long is a great way to make me not buy anything.

Wordle 1,622 2/6* ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I finally did it

Fun adventure time: I had an ER visit midday on Thursday and ended up having surgery on Friday to remove a bigass hematoma in my belly button. Fun! I was able to go home Friday evening, but thank goodness Past Me did a ton of freezer meal prep a couple of weeks ago.

I got two shiny Pokemon on the way to and from the dentist and zero cavities. I may be learning the wrong dental hygiene lesson here. Also, hearing my hygienist sing along to Pink Pony Club while cleaning my teeth is everything.

I went to Pokemon Go raid hour last night to do some trades and someone said "Aren't you usually writing right now? You usually just disappear in November." Oh boy. Ohhhh boy.

I spent Saturday going on a hike with a friend in the great outdoors and then became Lumiose trash in the great indoors on Sunday. I'm almost done with the main ZA story!

This is the kind of year where it's anyone's guess who my Spotify Artist of the Year will be. (Yes I could look at last.fm and try to guess but where's the fun in that)

Someone just asked me how NaNoWriMo was going in a meeting and I probably should have given some coworkers a heads up about NaNo no longer being a thing.

Since people are coming back and realizing NaNoWriMo is gone and there are 238394 alternatives of varying quality, it's time for a confession. I wrote the NaNo scandal doc that has found its way around the internet for the past couple of years.

I finished the "follow routes for seven days in a row" task for getting to level 72 in Pokemon Go and the real accomplishment is me putting on pants and leaving the house for seven days in a row despite the cool rain the last two days.

Dear person in front of me at the grocery store, I'm not judging you for your appearance or choice of groceries. I'm judging you because you're in the ten items or fewer lane with at least twice that many things while I'm standing behind you with four things.

Someone at this coffee shop is explaining why BCC is a good thing in emails and how people just like to reply all and thank you for doing the Lord's work.

Wow it really is breakup time in webcomic land huh

Can't believe Google Fiber is really making me want to switch back to Comcast right now. Just work.

I had Google Fiber for years in my old apartment and had no issues. Moved here and I've had at least three outages in the past two months. Enshittification is real.

I haven't been to the No Kings protests yet due to bad timing; the first one was during NAIC and I was hosting family from abroad in town today.

IT'S LEGENDS Z-A TIME LET'S GOOOOO

Legends Z-A comes out today and work decided to have a meeting that I have to talk in at 4pm so I can't just sneak out early. RUDE.

What kind of people are you who actually have earbuds die before losing them

This Pokemon Go level update means I'll never be level 69. WHY.

happy closing night of atlanta pride from me & @sushimustwrite.bsky.social we are elder millennials and going to zero afterparties 😂

Catching Solosis (the cell and definitely not a vagina Pokemon) during Pride Community Day feels appropriate.

Wearing my Azumarill shirt to this Pride drag brunch as the most subtle sign iykyk

Got my flu and COVID shots today, be sure to get yours too if you can!

I hope sandwiches become a new type of dish in Pokemon Sleep just so Big Pikachu can get in on the sandwich definition discourse. (And it's thematically appropriate, hello sandwich-loving dragon bikes.)

My gynecologist said I look a lot happier now than when she saw me last year. Was I really that miserable??? That was just the beginning of occupational hell.

Who has two thumbs and burned two potholders on the stove in the past week solely by using the wrong stove burner? This girl!

Hi. I've been extremely offline for... well, most of my summer. Almost entirely for good reasons, to be clear. I did a lot of traveling this summer! I went to New Orleans for NAIC and Anaheim for worlds and Pittsburgh for the first P!P regional of the season and saw a lot of old and new frens.

Oops I missed Bi Visibility Day, time to be invisible again

My local library branch is FINALLY open again!!! Which is great because I have an ARC of the Legends & Lattes sequel but haven't had the first one, and my newly opened local branch has a copy. Time to make a visit.

I've worked on this for over three months, well before escaping my old role. Welcome to my year of occupational hell... and Hades. www.sushimustwrite.com/2025/09/02/o...

I got home Wednesday night and since then I've had no Internet and a leak in my water heater closet. Is it too late to go hang out with Mickey and Pikachu again? I'm already tired.
