Volume four of 10 Dance is such an emotional roller coaster. I think I need a moment to recover.

Is it possible to get high on oxygen? Suddenly I can freely breathe again and my head feels bizarre.

playing with toys

I had wanted to attend a museum gallery preview tonight, but clearly I’m not going to make it.

Wow, that “might make your drowsy” warning was no joke. Lost my place in the book I was reading, but the nap was amazing.

Went to the doctor this morning and turns out I have a sinus infection. Goodie.

i need to put this on meme because lol 😂

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I’m so happy it’s raining! Clean the air of evil pollen!!!!!

In positive news, since I suddenly have time today, I can catch up on my reading. Diving into the second volume of Silent Reading. 🤩

I’ve coughed so much over the last week I think I’ve pulled two different muscles in my chest. At least I’m in pain in two places. I bought a new mucus medicine this morning, so I hope it saves me. It hurts so badly to cough. Even breathing hurts right now while walking.

Day two of having no voice and of course I still have the really annoying cough. Hoping my voice can make an appearance tomorrow. Work is so awkward without one.

Picked up a random fantasy novel while at the library. From the synopsis, I expected a serious story. Instead, it’s a series of horrible events written in a fluffy way. There’s even a fire character named Puffy. A little over 100 pages in and no idea where this plot is going.

This has to be the wildest weather report swing I’ve seen in a while. Today’s 74, to 60 mid week, and then back to 77 next Sunday. It’s no wonder my allergies are going crazy.

Thought I was safe from the coughing for a bit, so was trying to eat a sandwich. Nope. Stealth cough struck 90% through and then I was trying to not also inhale bread crumbs and cough some more.

LDR: I have absolutely done hand signs of enthusiasm in the book isle with fellow fans of another language. We gotta stick together. 💪

Still my favourite tweet of all time

Went for a walk to escape the four walls. Found a nice umbrella tree for Fig’s place. The clerk was so nice despite me only able to talk at a whisper.

I may have no voice atm but at least I had some Jajangmyeon on hand for a tasty lunch. It’s the small things in life.

Ugh. My head feels like it’s been stuffed full of wool. I’m glad that at least the sinus faucet has stopped. My voice barely exists though. 🫠

Despite saying very little today, my voice is still absolutely trashed from the sinus drainage. 😩

At this rate all my packages will be getting shipped with someone else. Even before the hike, odd shaped packages were already cheaper with another carrier.

The U.S. Postal Service announced they're charging a 8% surcharge on all package shipments to offset rising fuel costs • The surcharge will begin April 26 and would remain in place until January 17th, 2027 Source: about.usps.com/newsroom/nat...

Made popcorn for the first time in years and I’m amazed it came out perfectly. Makes me think I just used up all my snack good luck in one go.

Fantastically good news. I need some good news like this: OpenAI shutting down Sora video-creation app share.google/lV9OxHJr4u2A...

I finally found the throat lozenges I knew it had. If only one now would work all night. 🥹

Had my insomnia decide to hold hands with intense allergies. It’s been such a long day. I barely have a voice thanks to unending sinus drainage. 🫠

yall remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? we need a version of that campaign for AI usage

My official sewing project manager is making sure my embroidery planning is on point.

I’m so tired of the “I found a new goth clothing line, but they make 14 fem items and only 3 masculine ones.” shopping experience. 🫠

I didn’t realize just how much I have missed watching soccer until I’ve had access again. All now feels right somehow in my personal bubble. Looking back, all of my favorite major embroidery projects have had a portion finished during soccer games. 😆

I kind of hate that everything needs to be turned into like, streamable or video content. Play games? Stream it. Draw? Why don’t you stream it. Cosplay? You should stream in cosplay. No that’s fine I don’t wanna do any of that actually

Picked up my favorite shade of blue hair dye and a bleach kit. June is going to be wilding around here.

Every once in a while, a soccer player has either an extremely amusing name or a rather unfortunate one. My current game has a lad named Tripper. He’s a defender! This is just… fate served you a funny huh. 😅

Reading yet another news article about how three big tech companies in the area are planning to lay off 10-15% of their staff. Again. Since December. “Due to increased overhead due to a/i…Thanks to a/i tools our workforce can be more efficient.” What a load of hock. 😒

Watching soccer and seeing an ad for Kodensha at the stadium is rather surreal.

Soccer jerseys are such a racket. New jersey from this season $95-140. Jersey from 5+ years ago… $12-45. Why does there need to be a new version every single season anyway?!

Work was intensely hot today. I swear it was 90f+. 🥵 it’s not even remotely summer yet! Definitely feeling justified for hunting down some old premier league soccer jerseys to broaden my meager collection. Might as well before the W.Cup raises prices in a month as the hype grows.

This is such a weird decision to make about reblogs. What the heck even prompted the want to do this?!??

tumblr just announced the weirdest and stupidest change in its core functions ive ever seen a website do (completely gutting the "reblog" feature itself), and promptly stopped loading completely lmao

Trying to shop for an England soccer jersey, and the shopping app keeps showing me U/SA ones all mixed in. Wth is even happening?!? So annoying!

Trying out a new spice packet for buttered chicken. It claims to be “mild”, so heres to hoping. So far it’s not burning my nose by fragrance alone, so that’s a good start.

Been researching embroidery patterns for my noragi inspired “jacket” project, but suddenly I’m very tired for some reason.

Climbed the big hill to do errands, only to discover three perfectly good poster frames on the curb. Yep, picked them up and awkwardly made the trip back home. At least I didn’t have to go up the hill with them. Huzzah for future large format art projects.

The replacement power cord for the sewing machine has arrived. And it works! Whew. 🥳

I have been trying to figure out why Amethyst won’t settle down tonight. I finally discovered it’s because she’s upset my arm isn’t bare for her to lay on. Took one long sleeve off and suddenly all is right with the world. Such a spoiled gecko.

I can hear the micro geckos chirping. I really wish i could record them to share, but it’s so hard to catch them doing it.

I bring you the stylish gecko bracelet. 😂

Goma has woken up from his semi hibernation! 🥳 It’s so nice to see his little face. 🥹
