I’ve been scrapbooking for hours for the last two days and couldn’t be happier lol

Had to come up to #Philly to do a mini #cheesesteak tour and record my first in-person of Casting The Net with The Adorable Lil Hybebeast ( @notthatclari.bsky.social )! Shoutout to her hubby for playing chauffeur! ☺️😋

I hate my stress tension headaches, I just took the last of the Good medicine and I’ll only get more when I visit my mom 😭😭

hey folks! if you like my stuff please share, comment, all that jazz, since the surgery + move this year I haven't been very active and my numbers are in the toilet, i'm gonna need some help to get back out there TT

ok, I dont want to jynx it, but I have woken up at my reasonable 7:30am these last 4 days; AM I OUT OF JETLAG JAIL??

Become ungovernable

I am not a huge Steam gamer unless it's Baldur's Gate lol

I know I've made friends with the right people here because our texts go "wanna go out Friday night for a quiet after-work drink?" "sure!" "let's check in again on Friday to be sure we still want to go" and I think that's beautiful

My copy of Little Majorette's 2011 album arrived. Swedish Indie pop band that arrived, made an Oops All Stomp and Clamp Bangers and just...left. I think it just never took off but I'll always love them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1r...

I give up. I will no longer try to take active steps to fix my sleep schedule. I am now one of those intangible creatures that wakes up at 5am. This'll have to adjust eventually.

This is very different from Miami

I keep seeing the take that we have to stop saying “millennial optimism” was a thing, that we were actually very nihilistic I dunno man even with straight depression the vibes felt more optimistic to me on a global scale compared to the last decade 😭🤷‍♀️

I woke up at 5am anyway

I did it!!! Im up by practically 10pm!!! I am a sleep schedule GENIUS

I calculated how many steps I walked, total, in my Japan trip 267,596. Avg of 20k a day. Highest days (2 of em) were 30k lol Ryan and I may be out of shape, but we can WALK like we're being followed by those Long Walk tanks

Update: the coffee has been working. For the last week I've been a dead worm by 3pm, but it's now almost 5pm and I am WIDE AWAKE. I can do this!! I can fix this sleep schedule!!

An eternal reminder on my work desk that Ryan would love me if i were a worm

i stand by this statement every year

This is ridiculous. For 4 straight days I've gone to bed at 7-8pm and woken up at 5am. New gameplan: I'm going to get the most roided, caffeine-infused drink I can get at 3pm (when I start crashing out). Hopefully that keeps me up a little longer to survive into sleeping at 10pm.

I am begging for the weekend to come quicker for I am so, so tired everything is MOLASSES

One of my favorite things about the period I watched a ton of Bob Ross was catching the weirdly dark jokes he would sometimes make.

Weirdest thing this week is that I keep looping into a dream where I'm STILL in Japan and am boarding my plane to the US any minute now. The jetlag dreams have been VIVID. I'm not even particularly happy or excited to be in Japan in those dreams, I just wanna go home in them LOL

They were right, the best slightly ominous, contemplative Christmas music is to listen to Ukrainian Christmas Carols, 10/10 open.spotify.com/playlist/2St...

Relatable

I MAKE THEM TAKE TURNS HOLDIN’ MY PURSE

Ok, I think I can call it now- one downside to joining travel planning groups is that you'll be shown the worst case scenarios of other people's vacation. Proud to have returned from our trip without: -getting sick -breaking bones -being butsukari otoko'd

Looking at my work inbox after being out of office for 17 days

Pro: I don’t THINK the jetlag is too bad, I think I adapted back to the timezone fine Con: I shouldve taken a few extra days off bc i am unfortunately a person who needs a vacation from her vacation, I am EXHAUSTED

Unpacking

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

The worst leg of my return is almost up and it was SO MUCH easier than arriving. I slept about 80% of this 15 hour flight from Tokyo to Toronto and I’m really relieved

Go birds

This was the trip of a lifetime and the best vacation I’ve ever had, but…it’s all so much 😅 I’m ready and happy to finally go back home ❤️

Got some really cute magazines to end the trip!

Today we’ll be flying back- and we’ll arrive around the time we left the day before? Trippy stuff

Me seeing I went over-budget in my souvenir shopping 🥲

First by Land, but yesterday by Sea

No but if the Tokyo Disneyland crowds were intense, it’s nothing compared to rope drop at Disney Sea. Ryan was shoved by a 23-year old suave looking man DESPERATE to get in line for Frozen 🤨

Lol

Good day

The monorail here is SO CUTE

I didn’t even feel baller, my vacation package got me to skip this line and I could feel the gyarus ready to rip my hair out

Ppl watching in Tokyo Disney is legendary. The locals REALLY dress up for the parks, more than California (which had been my highest standard so far). I never really like taking candids of strangers, so here’s Pinterest pics to illustrate what I’m seeing here rn, they actually all dress like this

Where do i even begin bro

In case you’re thinking “why would I shop Uniqlo in Japan, we have Uniqlo at home”, I am 80% sure they must have a different supplier, because the quality feels a lot better than anything I got in the US (and I get a LOT, im a uniqlo stan)

Don don don donki

Ryan and I just casually* climbed all the way up mount Inari and I want you to know I’m making this my entire personality now. *I lied I was not casual about it, I complained about the stairs the entire time
