I got a 91* on my stats final!
*One question hasn't been graded yet and it's likely that it will add 3% to my grade so I probably have a 94!!! I thought I was going to do horribly oh my god

Friends of ours who live on acreage on Ebey Island in Everett are having to evacuate. This is going to affect so many people and it’s terrifying. Folks think “oh the rivers are high, floods aren’t that big of a deal” but when you’ve been in the thick of it, you know that’s a lie.

Wild Waves is closing and maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, but it just got me thinking about how we are losing way too many whimsical third places to spend a day. No more Wild Waves, Fun Forest, Robinhood Lanes or Funtasia. Don’t come for anymore bowling alleys or arcades!

Aleister’s bloodwork came back perfect and I’m so grateful that we have a healthy baby (yes he’s 11 but he is baby)

Being adjacent to the deadly flooding in Texas this past summer has made me really not feel great about the flood warnings here in WA. Already had one friend get an evacuation warning 🙃

Every family member and friend of mine from Orange County (mom, aunt, cousins, at least 3 friends) ended up liberal or left wing instead whatever Gwen Stefani is, and I’m super grateful.

Got 8ish hours of sleep, woke up 2 hrs before needing to get ready for work, took my medication 2 hours earlier than usual and was done getting ready an hour before needing to leave? Now I’m going for a nice walk before work and okay wow I guess I needed this ✨ feeling the burnout leaving my body

Although I’ve lived in the Seattle area my whole life, I think I’ve finally become a teriyaki hoe in my old age. Took long enough.

Today was the first time I got emotional in therapy and now I feel like a giant puddle on the floor (in a good way). It’s wild how past judgement from your family members and even some people you used to consider friends can affect your self-perception years later. Be kind & gentle with yourself.

Uh oh do I need to start paying attention to the Seahawks again? I’m not an NFL girly and also my ex ruined a lot of whatever joy I used to get out of watching it. But the Seahawks are crushing it this year. Seattle sports teams are having a ✨moment✨

Petition for more bands to play multi-night stands at smaller venues doing album plays because I really wish I could see y’all play more than the one mediocre popular single off of that one album from 1997 that I actually really like

When we took Aleister to the vet today, the tech kept calling him “big guy” and said “wow, he’s just full of tiny squeaks”
and yep, that’s our guy. 🥹

I really wish I was born with a palate that liked green onions because WOW that’s one food that will make me gag and viscerally react if I accidentally eat it 😀

Today marks 11 whole years since my son and I came into each other’s lives serendipitously and unfortunately for him, we had to spend it at a routine vet visit 😅 our boy has a clean bill of health other than skin allergies that we’re investigating, and needing to drop some pounds!

lol Instagram just reminded me that 10 years ago today, I went to the zoo with my ex and he was MISERABLE the entire time and whined and gave me the silent treatment while I tried to have a good time. And tried everything to help him have a good time but he was determined to hate every moment 🫠

I am obsessed with Australian pub/punk rock right now and I know that's pretty niche but you'd be hard pressed to find another genre that gives you that much serotonin and the energy to make you wanna kick down a barn door, okay?

Also - officially weaned off my nightmare BP med. Here’s hoping the quality sleep will come pouring back and not just in intervals where my body is so exhausted that it’s forcing itself to! 0/10 do not recommend

I’m not exaggerating when i say that our apartment building’s elevator shits the bed once a week. They’ve “switched vendors” and “switched repair companies” every time, yet it keeps happening. Absolute comedy.

In a perfect world I’d be packing the last of my things tonight and flying to Chicago tomorrow. I hate that I’m not going!!! But also relieved. Damn being a responsible adult.

Apparently my ex casually strolled (hobbled?) into my last place of employment last night and asked the bartender if I still worked there and she said no - but then told him where I currently work 🤦♀️ I know it wasn’t on purpose but GIRL

Going to start a weights routine at the gym as part of my mental and physical health overhaul starting probably this week. School and work have me sedentary way too often and I need to get that blood pressure down! I can’t wait to feel so much better.

The more I smell the perfume I bought last year (Valentino Donna Born in Roma) the more it smells like something from the 90s or early 2000s lol. It’s not bad, just…generic? I smell like 2002
