Spring Season: Weeks 49/50
Feb. 15th, 2021 06:05 pmMaybe I should pick a different day to update this thing, by the time Monday finally rolls around, I'm just like... ??? What is anything? What has even happened to me? All I know is my work box and paperwork and keys. No sleep ever, all is box. BOX.
Maybe I should say fuck it and start updating EVERY day. Just tiny ones, really spam it up. Try to bring back the bad old days of Livejournal, pre-widespread social media usage, when we were interacting this way all the damn time. I need to get better at replying to people when they DO pop up on here, because I really miss engaging on this platform on the reg, outside of RP. (This ties into a more general issue I have, where I've been trying to engage with my friends better in general, starting on Twitter because that's where we all are all of the time, but I'm still not... great at it? I tend to treat internet platforms as these big voids for me to shout into while I block out the world, and I enjoy that, but like... I also love my people, and I love all of their bullshit, that's why I follow them, I just don't show that a lot, so. Trying!) Bringing back Pollventures would probably help with this, too, THIS IS STILL ON THE TO-DO LIST, it's just a matter of finding a way to fit it into my new (no longer new) 'up at ass o'clock half of the time' schedule.
It's Family Day, so I think I'm gonna order a burrito. This makes sense in my brain somehow. I am working because we traded this stat holiday for Heritage Day in August, which is not technically one. I checked to make sure my work week falls over that day, and it does, so I accept this trade-off with quiet dignity and repose.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and my mom ordered heart-shaped pizzas for when I got home from work and then I watched wrestling and a Mae West movie, so that was nice. Sometimes I feel weird for not wanting to be in any sort of permanent romantic relationship (not aro, I don't think, just... happy to be single forever), but yesterday was not one of those times.
It has been very satisfying to watch our coronavirus active case numbers spend the last month and change dropping precipitously. The freefall has tapered off in the last week or so, but we still tick down a couple of cases every day or so, and my grandmother has been vaccinated, and overall I'm just feeling... much better about that whole situation. Now I just need the theaters to open again (and hope that doesn't trigger another spike, though if the tier 1 and tier 2 openings due to come before that stage don't do it, I won't be too concerned).
Fuck this polar vortex bullshit! I think we peaked (valleyed?) out at -57 degrees overnight, which is the coldest I've seen it get in years, and while it's improved significantly in the week or so since then, it's still fuckin' cold. Some very miserable walks to and from work have been had, made slightly more tolerable by the fact that the sun has finally begun making a debut as I set out in the mornings. It's still dark, but by the time I start my next seven, we should be in full blown sunrise territory, baby!
To the spoiler zone! Movie themes for the fortnight were Cary Grant and Mae West!

Okay. Only one more hour here, I do not even have time to reread this for glaring errors, then I can go home and watch BTE and the first round of the Japan side of the AEW women's eliminator tournament bracket. And then just one more day of work after that to freedom! I got this. Let's go. My eyes hurt.
