no work today but I stayed awake bc of my early alarm jsnxxnnx

at least I can laze around in bed but I am tempted to head to the beach

oh beach...

update I took a shower and am now walking on the beach pier

that awkward moment when you order a coffee drink but it's now been over 10 minutes and you also finished your bagel and still no drink

I feel like they're stressed out in the back over something but it's kinda bad to be forgotten about!! or let me know that you've run out of stuff!! but I paid for my drink

I gotta Karen here so I can prep myself to ask nicely after they're done with the other customers

At least you are being polite and understanding! You did pay for your drink so you deserve what you paid for!

looks like barista straight up forgot... dude same, but pls

I am in constant brain fog

late night bc i did my best not to engage in election brainrot but it got in a bit, but i won't go into it

i will keep going day by day with gritted teeth and living well on the power of pure spite.

i'll improve myself, be kind to others, and do better to stand up for what's right

i'll keep finding joy in things i like, in people i love, and hopefully make new friends, reconnect, and take care of my family

That’s a great approach. I’m hoping to do the same. We can only take things day by day.

hhmmmm contemplating this uh, christmas gift? gift? from my uncle's wife.

so basically at thanksgiving my uncle's wife gave me a bag of five cross stitch christmas ornament kits, two santa hats, and christmas themed curling set

and i'm kind of overthinking it, but it kind of makes me feel... annoyed? being kind of ungrateful, but i guess she thought it was fine to give to me bc i'm an artsy crafts person

i feel like i just took the bag of stuff bc she kept reminding me to take it with me so it was out of politeness if nothing else

but now it's just a bag of extra stuff in my room and im like I don't want to do anything with this i have my own crochet and drawing projects im doing

so yeah, i'll figure it out ig

I am sure to her she thought it was nice because you are an arts and craftsy person so she thought you might like it

but once a gift is given it has served its purpose so you can always donate them or give them to someone who would actually make use of it, etc

nod nod, thank you for the input, you and my mom are right (and my mom was also like, she also shops too much so)

i put it in the garage so out of sight out of mind

i have an okay, but not incredibly close relationship with my dad's side of the family (older adults anyway, me and the cousins are cool) and the best way I can describe it is that no one really knows me? so it's rare things that are gifted to me

are super meaningful... it's a whole thing I won't get into it, so it's just, "well, thank you"

alright gonna change my tune, my friend gave birth to her fourth baby and there was a health scare that kept them both in the hospital for long, but she texted me a picture of the babbu with the blanket i crocheted for him weh

i hope i can visit them soon

I hope you can! I hope they are on the mend and can come home soon if they are not already

I love seeing babbus with blankets I made for them, it's such a good feeling

he's so sweet looking and my friend said she admired the blanket i made for him

Adorable...
