Anyway, still not kicked in that I'm actually in Japan yet. Probably will after I've slept (and/or escaped the nightmare of Tokyo station)

Managed to use my very limited Japanese to get a train ticket for the time I wanted, which is great. Only now I'm stuck inside the station and can't wander outside, so probably could/should have got an earlier train.

The panic I just had when I thought I had left my passport at home because the sling it's in wasn't in my bag.
I had taken it out to get to something else in the bag.

I've travelled on my own multiple times now, and yet I still get really anxious about travelling. Actually flying doesn't bother me, but I think airports do? And the general exhaustion from travelling.
Anyway, I am finding it hard to feel excited and I hope that changes soon.

If I say I can't wait to move into a house with no central heating, that might give you an indication of how much I hate the storage heaters in our flat.

I might genuinely need to find a new career someday, because I refuse to become a vibe coder. Like, why take away the one good part of the job?

I'm gonna have to put myself on a fabric buying ban until I've used some of this. I even have projects in mind for a bunch of it. The big pile is mostly large scraps to keep for patterning purposes.

Some recruiter went out of his way to email me at work, and still managed to deadname me.

I can't believe I've reached the point where I now pay for Youtube premium and Twitch turbo. They wore me me down and I feel like I have failed.
But at least I don't get ads.

In an attempt to buy some new clothes that actually fit, I keep ordering 1 size too big, which I guess isn't the worst problem to have. I'm just overestimating how much bigger I am.

How did I only just find out that there's a Japanese castle stamp rally, after I've already been to 6/24 of them! Guess I'm going back.

I am getting properly hyped about Japan again which is nice. Mostly excited for buying stationery and journaling supplies, collecting eki stamps and having katsu curry.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll speak some Japanese this time.

Having our mortgage letter printed in black and white is kind of wild. I've wanted to buy a house for so long.

I wanna buy nice quality clothes, like a leather jacket that actually fits, but I have no idea where to go. Most of the time the high street doesn't have what I'm looking for.

When you're buying a house, and they keep putting the man's name first, even though I'm the one dealing with most of it. Misogyny at its finest.

I feel like I have far too much to do tonight before MCM, but it's probably not, I'm just easily overwhelmed

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Is it still crunching if I'm 3D printing a bought horns model for MCM next week?
I also might try to finish my Rumi wig this weekend, we'll see. I'm crewing, but I'd like to wear some wigs.
