finally finished watching heated rivalry with my friend! now i can understand all the jokes everyone was making a few months ago 😅

i have serious cute aggression towards kevin aymoz.

this is the first day this week that i've come home from work with my will to live still in tact

realized that i've unintentionally seen jacob sanchez skate more than probably any other skater this season, because i watched him in cup of china, US nats, 4CC, and junior worlds. and now he'll be at senior worlds (replacing jason brown).

i don't care what god or demon i need to summon to get a company near me (within driving distance) to produce this show. i want to see this so bad. youtu.be/tSUdalypey4

spent at least an hour working on fantasy figure skating drafts instead of work tasks this afternoon. 😅

i'm going to make a film called "the importance of being horizontal" and it's just going to be me, dissociating under my weighted blanket after work

girl, famously dumb at reading, thinks she's making Connections (the girl is me, and i think i'm right this time)

apparently a meteor hit and everyone heard/felt a bit boom? well, i guess it's a testament to my office as a bunker, because i literally experienced nothing. FOMO validated by a cool astronomical event. ☹️

should i have spent that much money on a bird clock? probably not. but, you see, i wanted it.

it was over 70°F yesterday and i sat out on my porch in bare feet while i worked on tulip exhibit signs. now it is snowing. 🙃

i feel guilty for being strict, but if you are a grown person, and i answer a simple question for you in writing on friday, i expect you to remember, or at least be able to look it up, when you have the same question on monday. if my standards are too high, then so be it.

i just enrolled in a month of skating lessons!! i registered for the adult beginner lessons, even though i can already do the skills they say they cover, because i feel like i probably have a lot of bad habits to correct. (that said, underestimating myself is my no.1 bad habit........ 🤷‍♀️)

(suffering) why does my fic only get finished if I write it

whenever i remember how small kevin aymoz is, it makes me want to cry with affection. it makes his ending pose in bolero so cute. "i wanted to scare the judges into giving me a good score." ok, kevin. 🥰

apologies to my supervisor, who is quite cool and chill, but i have just remembered that i am single-handedly responsible for what could easily be divided between AT LEAST three jobs, and i'm about to become very annoying about it.

absolutely insane shit that i am being billed for therapy on top of my annual check up because my doctor asked if my lexapro dosage was working and i said yes.

ha ha ha ha shit i stayed up too late reading 🙃

i have the best excuse ever for not practicing viola today, but unfortunately it involves having just fallen down the stairs lol 🙃

my PTO is almost over and i wasted it working and worrying about work. welp!!

(hootin' & hollerin') it's thunder storming and i have a PORCH on which to watch it roll through. this is why we are alive!!!

today was so busyyyy... - finished intern interviews - answered deadline emails - 1.5 hours skating - went to drug store - replaced battery in my car fob - unpacked and hung all my wall decor - took out trash - changed sheets

it's actually annoying that the only way to ease my anxiety about work while i'm on PTO is to work while i'm on PTO.

feeling like there is a mystery shoe somewhere, waiting to drop, and i'm very distressed!!

my viola teacher, trying to get me to embody the music, suggested i try dancing around the kitchen to some classical music. she doesn't know how often i slide around my house in my socks pretending like i am doing kevin aymoz's bolero 😅

having a hard time believing kazuki tomono's sofi tukker program wasn't even *nominated* for most entertaining program of 2026. someone at the ISU needs a stern talking to.

me, ignoring my viola for yet another week: "i really wish i had a hobby"

i just woke up from an accidental 3.5 hour nap, and i could probably sleep even more 🫠

i've had an absolute shit day that only finding salamanders and listening to a chorus of frogs can fix. 🤞

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

fuck it, i'm watching junior worlds men on the clock. i earned this.

(sobbing) look at them 🥹

this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

move over kevin aymoz, it's salamander obsession time lol

i am forever fated to look back and think of all the ways i could have done better

oops read an old kevin aymoz interview from after his breakdown and now i'm crying

doing growing degree day math to predict whether the rains later this week will bring salamanders.

it was honestly a game changer for me when my friend brought me to an adult skate session in college more than a decade ago. it's my favorite thing to do on a rare afternoon off.

on my way to my viola lesson, i was thinking about my favorite skaters who can, like, leave their bodies and let the mood and emotions of the program take over, and how there's a lovely, vulnerable moment at the very end when they come back to themselves...

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

how is it possible that every robin hobb book i check out from the library is longer than the last one? 🫠

other languages my phone thinks i understand after the olympics: french, russian, italian, korean, japanese other languages i actually understand: german

oops bought two new orchids 😅 (they were on sale because they'd finished flowering)

my phone keeps wanting to autocorrect "omg yay!" to "omg gay!" ☺️

i feel like i might be getting sick, but it could just be the yo-yoing weather or the fact that i haven't really had a day off since last monday. (or maybe it's because i stayed up late reading haha)

i have read 758 pages of this book and i still have 50 pages left 🥺 i want to stay up late and finish, but i'll regret it tomorrow.

i quit my job in my dream last night, and it felt so good. and then i immediately regretted it. alas, the indecision extends to my subconscious.

here is my abridged manifesto on whether or not i think kevin aymoz retires this year: a cautious no. obviously i'm not in his head, but his career has had so many rebirths, it just seems too soon, even though he'll be 29 this summer. it feels like he just came back, and that cycle isn't over (yet).
