Man, I just watched a really weird and disjointed documentary about scent. Or perfumery. Or something. It finished and Netflix did that thing where it's like, thumbs up or thumbs down? And I dunno. My reaction about the credits rolling was, "Huh. Okay. Uh huh." I guess I learned a few things intermittently, but it was also just like...an hour and a half of people talking about scent. In the broadest sense of the word. Also there was an Italian truffle hunter. I'm not really sure about it all. I guess it was good? Maybe? If you want to watch it, it's called Empire of Scents. Also, if you do have any recommendations for documentaries, scent-related or otherwise, I'd love to hear them.

Work was indeed long today. I guess it's spring break for a lot of people, so the world is busy, even at midday on a Friday. Pretty glad I've got a chill weekend ahead of me to be honest. Maybe I'll pick up a dog walk or two.

March 29th

So my depression really kicked my ass for the first half of today. I felt absolutely awful, so I didn't do much of anything. I even canceled my doctor's appointment. It was rough. I feel better now, thank goodness. Just in time for a long shift at work tomorrow. Hooray!

March 28th

Dinner and wandering around IKEA on a Wednesday night? Sure, why not!

That’s kind of it, though. Tomorrow I see my doctor, and I guess I might do some laundry too. Slow week.

March 27th

I'm so messed up on Dramamine right now. Not as bad as earlier, but whoa. Sleepy.

So the concert was wonderful. I think they could have benefitted from a different venue, as this one was kind of retro (I believe it's a converted movie theatre) and has like...carpet from the 80's. It was also really...narrow? I just feel like there could have been a better setup. (Think something like First Ave. in Minneapolis.) Floor's vocal were great, the whole band seemed like they were having fun, and everyone cracked a few jokes. It was a good time for sure.

The Nightwish concert was rad. More tomorrow, sleep now.

March 25th

Guess what tomorrow is? It's road trip day! Only about two hours, but still. I'm going to a concert with friends and we're seeing Nightwish! I am so excited. I've wanted to see them for like...almost ten years now? This is gonna be so rad. It's also been almost exactly a year since I've been to a concert, so I'm extra excited. Plus Brad and I are driving down together and we're gonna stop at the Disney Store outlet. Gotta add some Disney in where you can, you know?

March 24th

So I was a bit exhausted yesterday. I had woken up at around 2 AM and never fell back asleep. Then I went to work, an apartment showing, hung out with Brad...I was so beyond tired. I slept for like 12 hours.

And today I kinda have a terrible sore throat again so that's super cool.

March 23rd

Long day. Very long day. Not bad, just lots going on. I’ll chat about it tomorrow...because right now I want to sleep.

March 22nd

I'm typing with one hand because Cas is laying across my chest. It's pretty adorable, actually.

Isn't it weird how we subconsciously know where every key on the keyboard is?

March 21st

Highlight of my day: I got to walk my BEST DOG FRIEND Ace! Did I do much else? Not really! I grabbed dinner with Brad since he lives close to Ace, but we got Panera and neither of our meals were great. Normally I love Panera, but like...it did not agree with me. Now I'm at home chilling with Cas. I did a marginal amount of room cleaning, woohoo!

March 20th

I was so anxious about snoring last night that I stayed up way too late and then didn’t sleep well at all. Also, dinner didn’t sit right with me. So it’s one of those days. C’est la vie.

March 19th

So I found out that I have, in fact, been snoring. I don’t know how to feel about that. I’m kind of weirdly nervous...? I don’t need any more weird medical shit going on. It’s so strange, because when I’m awake I can tell something is off. My sinuses feel off. Sometimes my tongue feels too big for my mouth. Sometimes swallowing is hard. Is it allergies? Something else? If I can force myself to sleep on my stomach or side it seems to help. But I’m wondering if I should see a doctor. It’s all very weird.

March 18th

Nothing too exciting to report from work today. Brad and I grabbed dinner and went to Tous R Us since they’re closing soon. And then I came home and slept. Gonna do some more of that. Then I have a week to kinda chill before work again!

March 17th

Mmh, upset stomach from mini corn dogs. No fun. I also slept like all day because depression. Work tomorrow should be okay though. Short shift!

March 16th

Story time: I tried to start this post off my writing “Happy Friday!” but I wrote “Happy birthday!” instead. So happy birthday, everyone! Make a wish!

March 15th

Ahh, depression day! I felt super sad last night and into this morning, and it's just lingering. Life stuff is just feeling like a lot right now. One might say I am "stressed af".

Also my tummy is upset because I had a popsicle. I just wanna hide under my blanket. At least Cas is being a good boy today.

March 14th

Hi friends! I mostly had another do-nothing day. Brad and I are hanging out though! We went out for dinner at a yummy Mongolian place!

March 13th

So I didn't fall asleep until like...5 AM? I've been trying to save on my electric bills, so I haven't been turning on my heat much. However, this is making me all dry and post-nasal drip-y and my throat was really bothering me last night. So the heat came on. I slept all fucking day. It was glorious, and my throat feels better. Sure, I wasn't very productive today. I really didn't do much. But like...it was a good, restful day. And that's important.

March 12th

I had a really productive day! Then my lunch didn’t agree with me so I came home. I say lunch, I really ate at like 4:00 PM. It was my after-work meal. But the only thing I had before work was breakfast, so...? Regardless, I went grocery shopping, went to the pharmacy, went to the post office - all this after a shift a work! Who knew I could be so proactive? I also got my flights booked for the wedding I’m attending in May. Accomplishments all around! Oh, and extra bonus: my Cat Lover’s Reddit Secret Santa gift arrived today and I’m in love. Who doesn’t love a box full of cute cat-themed items? Of the three Secret Santa exchanges I’ve done through Reddit, this one is definitely the best.

March 11th

Guess who didn’t realize today was daylight savings? Kinda didn’t know I was losing an hour of sleep. Now I’m sleepy. Work wasn’t bad though! Pretty steady. Not too crazy. Tomorrow should be nice and slow!

March 10th

Sometimes you have a bad day and your best friend asks if you want to go to dinner together so you can get cheered up. I feel so much better now. Work was hard and traffic made me late, but Panera with Brad made things so much better. Now I'm home, my throat hurts, Cas doesn't want me to be typing because he'd rather me be petting him, and I'm pretty ready for sleep. I just need to wind down a bit. Hopefully tomorrow is easier!

March 9th

Day one of my four-day work extravaganza is complete. It was strangely slow tonight. I feel like I'm not gonna have the same experience tomorrow. Slow, on a Saturday? That doesn't tend to happen.

Cas is truly snuggled up on me right now. It's really precious. (And hard to type.) He's been pretty good lately! Less nose biting. That's very good.

I think I'm pretty ready for sleep. I left early for work so I could go to the post office so my schedule today was a little weird. And tomorrow I have to leave early as well since CVS' pharmacy hours on Saturday are really crappy and if I don't go before work, they'll close before I get home.

March 8th

All right, so I might have slept most of today. My cough was awful last night so I was up basically all night, and thus...a lot of sleeping during the day. Good sleep though! Usually when I sleep during the day it's fairly restless, but I truly got some solid sleeping in. And I feel much better now!

Plans for tomorrow: Post office, work, groceries. That's about it. I work each day for the next four days, so I don't really get to have a social weekend, which is a bummer. But next week I'm going to see a prospective new apartment!

March 7th

Coughing is still happening. Work was okay though. And I just ate some dinner and it made my tummy upset. What a day. I am gonna stay online for awhile and then fall asleep.

March 6th

Did I leave the house today? No.
Can I breathe better? Yes.
Do my sinuses hurt? No.
Have I been coughing all day? Yes.

Let's see how sleep goes tonight. Hopefully my coughing won't keep me up. Work tomorrow!

March 5th

Wow awesome guys I have a terrible cold. You know, the kind where you can't breathe right and your nose is so clogged up that you can't taste anything. It's really great. Truly. I definitely wanted to spend this nice, sunny day off laying in bed feeling gross. Awesome.

March 4th

Welp, blogging now because I'm working 6pm until ??? because of inventory. I can't say I'm particularly thrilled but maybe it'll go quicker than expected. I hope so. Wish me speedy counting!

March 3rd

All right guys, I did it. The long Saturday shift is complete. My feet hurt, and my knees hurt, but it's okay. Brad even came to visit me because he's the actual best.

I'm tired and I'm going to rest now. Peace, homies.

March 2nd

Well, I’m tired! Haha. Work wasn’t bad though. And the weather is nice! Tomorrow...I hope it’s nice too!

March 1st

Happy March! I am tired, surprise! Yesterday was lots of fun, and I had a good time sleeping in, and grocery shopping and laundry weren’t too bad. I’ve got internet stuff to catch up on! And I think I want Oreo ice cream.
