I'm a few days late on my shot and now I'm debating whether or not I'm too tired to poke a needle into my belly. 😪

I found my 2026 planner!! (Jibun Techo Days, bought last fall, went Into A Box for the move, and did I remember which box ahahahah absolutely not.) I was so desperate, I was trying to recreate the layout in a dot grid journal, which was *not* going to be sustainable lol @crispy-ghee.bsky.social

Grocery delivery order (scheduled last night) originally had a 5-7 delivery window. Then they said delayed, estimating 8:10. It's 8 and they haven't started shopping yet, so right now I'm not optimistic that I get my food tonight at all. And there's no delivery windows tomorrow.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Water was shut off for most of the day, for repairs to an underground pipe. It's back on for the evening, but they'll have to shut it off again tomorrow (time/duration tbd) to resume repairs. 😩 They apparently found *five* leaks in that area??

@kateelliottsff.bsky.social Out of curiosity, is Witch Roads a duology? The conclusion of "The Nameless Lands" seems like it could go either way.

Just got home from three days with my parents and an afternoon with my mom. My first overnight trip since...2019? Headspace right now is very weird. (Some of it may be allergies tbh)

Algorithmn has been pushing "Epic" on me, so I finally let it play "Would You Fall in Love With Me Again" and I'm just super curious if the whole Circe...thing...happens in the musical, because I feel like Odysseus super glosses over "fucked a witch and had two kids with her while you were chaste"

Got sidetracked and put off my T shot, again, and now it's 1 am. Debating doing it now, or postponing to "tomorrow" again (i.e. after I sleep).

Everybody's got me hype to watch "Wake Up Dead Man" but I'm leaving for a holiday party in 30 minutes, and I have a library book due back Tuesday that I have to finish because the hold queue is loooong and it'll be at least a month before I get it again ("Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by @sgj.bsky.social )
