getting your shit together sucks actually. nobody tells you that you then need to work pretty hard to keep your shit together after getting it there. so unfair.
really spent all weekend bragging to people about how we got a fancy new mattress just to wake up today the most bent-out-of-shape i’ve ever felt smh

just got offered a new desk location at work (basically catty-corner from my current spot):
- good bc it’s a window desk, benefit for my plants
- bad bc it’s right outside boss’s office
- good bc i’m a little further from coworkers who annoy me
- bad bc i’ll have to move all my many desk trinkets
🤔🤔

imagine ordering a shot from the bar while you’re at a death metal show and instead of doing the shot you carry it all the way across the venue thru the crowd instead. wild.

very fun and chill to see that someone tried to request a password reset three times on my ignored instagram account over the weekend. whoever that was, you probably want the other ariana, you know, the famous one.

this october has been so jam-packed with events, group plans, and life updates that i feel personally entitled to the third payday that coincidentally lands on halloween. give me that untaxed paycheck, it won’t make me completely sane but it still might help!!!

it’s so so cool to have insurance through your really stable employer until all of a sudden your physician and your dentist both call you up saying “yeah hi sorry but your insurance refused to pay us for the stuff they said they’d cover” and then you just have to pay for it yourself. so cool.

learning magic the gathering is maybe gonna be my all-consuming winter hobby. i caught myself making several searches today about spell triggers in my precon commander deck and it pointed me to like, three really cool new-to-me cards. it could get so bad so fast y’all, idk what to do about it yet 😅

awesome day to have multiple people spell my name wrong, including my easy af whitey last name apparently

ended my shitty day by spilling water everywhere while tending the plants, then snapping the healthiest, thickest stem off the best of my three potted Tradescantia pallida. meanwhile the rest of the stems on the same plant are losing leaves for seemingly no reason. great 🫠

hahahaha as if the normal work catch-up wasn’t enough i need to do my fucking open enrollment for health insurance before Thursday when i thought i had til next week hahahahahahaha fuck this fuck me
no coworkers, i do not feel refreshed nor am I ready to get back to it. i did not use my PTO for a traditional vacation and i’m not going to explain anything more than the possibility that i might be more tired and steeped in emotional turmoil than when i left last week. fuck.

figured i’d update: this is the newest leaf that was produced from the previous leaf’s damaged petiole!! i was honestly shocked it was able to grow at all, especially in the midst of my war on thrips. the leaf with the bent/broken petiole had to go though. overall, not the worst outcome!!

just saw the bright light social hour for the 3rd time this year, which i think is a record for us and for them. talked to Jackie extensively after their set about kglw among other things. i love this band so fucking much, pls catch them wherever they end up, they deserve crowds and everything else

don’t be like me. don’t wear a jersey if a team that isn’t playing a ga e tonight while out on the town, even if it’s your favorite team. people will most likely judge you even if it’s clear you’re a diehard fan of said team.

love to encourage five to eight friends (me and @theporkofcrime.bsky.social + six friends tonight) to come to a show not only for the main act we know and love but also to support their opener. we have good friends.
