Got the hotel for Orlando debating if we want to do just Universal Studios/Adventures one day and do Epic the next day. We could just do Universal Studios/Adventures because I like having more money more.
 
I see a lot of people in this thread are trying to lose weight. I wish you all luck, and I warn you with my fullest heart to stay away from HAES/fat positivity drama, please.

"What's the issue though? The Youtuber is making fun of HAES/fat positivity! He even has a Discord, strange that it's full of anorexic 14 year olds that he has multiple DMs with, but I'm sure it's fi--"

No. Please.
 
Spent my Saturday with my parents, I got a lot of shopping done and I even got to take the dogs to the beach.
I walked through the lower part of my local IKEA (it's divided into a showroom and a part with knick-knacks like pots and pans, towels, candles etc) TWICE because I couldn't find a specific type of washcloth I wanted. I asked a worker who told me that they'd recently removed the item from the lower part into the ass-end of the showroom that's dedicated to kids' stuff. Luckily I could take the shortcuts to the elevator up to the showroom and then go backwards through the end to get my washcloths. Success!
I even bought some grass seeds and some wildflower seed mix that I plan on spreading on my lawn once I've dealt with my dandelion problem but I of course forgot the weed puller that my dad is (eventually) lending me.
I even made cake, which was tasty but like my usual luck with cooking and baking lately, most of the topping decided to ooze off of the top of the dough, so the caramelised topping was on the bottom. I still don't know how or why, because the dough was room temperature as was the caramel topping.

Today I woke up relatively early. I've been prescribed melatonin in an attempt to help me regulate my sleep pattern, but the melatonin is doing what it has done to me before - instead of sleeping through the night, I wake up at random. No Hat Man ™️ or anything like that, I just wake up at 4:57AM and can't fall back asleep even if I try.
I can't tell if the Abilify is doing anything for me, in fact I feel a little more anxious in general after the changes to when I take my medication and what I take. I'm still a little hung up on my recent escapade with a phone plan seller in the mall near me, I hadn't felt that kind of panic in the back of my skull in a long time.
I did manage to get something done with the first half of my day - took the dog out for a walk to the forest, then the dog park that's next to the forest. Saw some cute scottish highland coos, I wish I could go pet them but they're not willing to come close to dogs (understandable)
I socialised with a handful of different dog owners and I even got to pet a very cute, very good curly coated retriever bitch. Very handsome dog even if she is outside of the breed standards.
Got a bit rained on, but we got dried off when we came back home. Now I'm just catching up on some of my gacha games before the daily reset.

Next week is easter and my tard wrangler is off on holiday. I can't wait for the family traditions around easter, although I don't think I'll be seeing my sister's family. Such is life. We saw them in February for my father's birthday, so I can't really expect them to uproot their life for an extended weekend, however much I'd like to see my nieces and do easter crafts with them.
 
Last year one of my cherry trees got skeletonized by Asian beetles and since the veriety I bought isn't self pollinating I had to get a new one to pollinate my surviving tree. Turns out Lowes sold me a $70 stick instead of a cherry tree and I swear I'm going to [REDACTED].

All my other plants are thriving though, even the purple raspberry I transplanted early this year, so at least there's still other fruit to look forward to.

Oh, I named the two original trees Chantal and Tess after the gorls, and it was Chinny who died. If you participate in the death pool thread and believe in, ”signs”... Welp, there you go.
 
Man, I am relapsemaxxing. Alcohol, ordering food, doomscrolling, whole nine yards. I got a three-day work week coming up, thankfully alone in the office, then a week at home. Hopefully I can use that to reel it back a bit. Then two weeks and I'm outta this hoe back to my old job (hopefully). Got an interview wednesday and they aren't even bothering setting up an interview, I just have to show up at their office so it's basically guaranteed. Was hoping for a month of unemployment but alas.
 
Still deciding if I just want to Epic or I would I be happier 300 dollars richer.
 
I’m ecstatic over having the opportunity to drop a grand on our second vet visit in as many days, because the only veterinarian open on Sundays is the emergency vet, to find out my dog has nothing worse than an upset tummy while he also got hurt at the vet’s office. I know if I had done nothing then the prognosis would have been an immediately fatal issue. On the up-shot, I’m now up to seven different veterinarians complimenting on my dog being in good shape, being so intelligent, and being so well-behaved during this weekend alone.

Made plans to travel for one of my kids' college graduation + a couple extra days hiking - I'm excited! Weather is amazing today (before it tanks again this week) so impossible to be burdened by much of anything.

Maybe your body wants to be up then - maybe try just getting up when you wake?

Maybe, just feels insane to wake up at 5am when I've never ever done so except for when I'm taking melatonin. I'm not a morning person at all.

Me, neither! And getting up then feels ridiculous. But I've been on a mission recently to get up early because I really have to to get in to work early like the rest of these insane people I work with. So my alarm is set for 510-530 and this week I managed to get up then or even wake before the alarm, and...it's kind of nice. Means I'm going to bed ridiculously early, too, but for first time in years I'm getting good, solid sleep with fewer interruptions.
 
What a week! Hm, a mixed bag it's been. On one hand, it's been very eventful and fun. On the other, I've noticed I've been more... Idk the word, it's been a lot easier to sorta "take me back" this week-- In a bad way. A lot of throwaway comments made me space out. I'll probably get over it eventually though. Either way, I got pizza today and it was really good. I haven't had pizza in a while!

You know what, you're right. I'll try getting up the next time I wake up and can't fall asleep again. Do something with that extra energy or whatever it is.
