HAPPY LEAP DAY!

Ya girl is just watching Pokémon videos on YouTube tonight. I am freshly showered and shaved so I’m feeling nice and clean.

Hoping for sunshine and a fun day tomorrow! And also I gotta check my mail.

February 28th

I went to the Wild vs. Blue Jackets hockey game tonight! Minnesota totally kicked ass (5-0) so it was a good game for me. Now I’m feeling a bit hungry and also pretty sleepy. I don’t know what I want to eat though. Snaaacks.

February 27th

I am sleepy and hungry tonight. Work was long. I did inventory at work today. And no, I’m not back in retail. I also scanned legal documents what a day. But I got Subway!

February 26th

Work sucked today, the weather is grey, but Brad and I hung out so I feel better. I just had chicken nuggets as well. Oh, and I bought three pints of ice cream.

February 25th

Couldn’t fall asleep last night. Having energy between 8pm-2am is super frustrating, especially since I’m always way super tired when I need to get up in the morning, even if it’s like 10 or 11 am. I’m gonna chat with my doctor about it tomorrow.

I want SUNSHINE!

February 24th

A slow day at work today. But in a frustrating way, not a chill way. Sigh.

Here, I made this!

February 23rd

Well if it’s not blogging, it’s Duolingo - gotta keep up that’s streak baby! That and TimeHop. My TimeHop streak is over a thousand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD! We got Turkish food for dinner! I like their bread!

February 22nd

Slept in then walked around outside in the sun. Aside from a contact lens malfunction, it was a really nice evening!

Tomorrow is Brad’s birthday!

February 21st

Today was extra chill at the office. I did some more German on Duolingo, then talked to someone in German on Reddit!

Aside from being a little chilly and having a tiny headache, I think tonight will just be nice and calm. Might have a little snack before bed. That’s about that!

February 20th

Slept in today, had a reasonably busy/normal work day, and just felt pretty good.

Also just ate ice cream. Time for YouTube and some cozy sleep with the cats!

February 19th

It occurred to me earlier today that I no longer have to blog every day. Like, I did the tens years every day thing. My recent posts have been pretty boring. Yet I feel like until I wrap things up, the daily thing has to continue. That's silly though - at this point, I can say, "Hey, I blogged every day for ten years!" and posting sporadically now doesn't change that. I did the thing! But I still feel like I should blog every day. I'll give some more thought to it. Maybe on days where I'm sleepy I won't. I know it would be nice to have something good and positive here every day. But I also need to realize that it's okay to only blog about the extra cool stuff too! Both of these are good and valid, so I shouldn't feel bad about doing either. But here I am tonight again, though at least it's because I'm giving my thoughts and writing a decent post!

Not a full perfume review, but I've tried a few good ones lately. Amouage Reflection is really nice and fresh and green.

February 18th

Slow work day today! And then I napped after work. So it’s a chill day.

Gonna watch some YouTube and eventually take a nice lil shower as well. Might play some Pokémon too!

February 17th

I’m sleepy tonight so I’m blogging early! Currently having some nice chicken nuggets for dinner, though I forgot I only have four left, and I was definitely feeling like it was a five nugget night tonight. Ah well!

Work was good and a bit slow, and it went from sunny to grey by the end of the day. So now we’re just relaxing!

February 16th

Oh hey, I went for a walk today! And it was sunny! Also chilly, but that’s okay!

Then I bought groceries and spent a few hours in front of the computer. You know how it goes.

I love Kirby and the aesthetics of Kirby games. That’s the thought of the evening.

February 15th

I went to the mall again today, this time with Brad! Caught up with some old coworkers, wandered around, you know how it goes.

I was hoping to hang out with a friend who was visiting from out of town but I kinda slept most of the day and we didn’t plan things well, and then I needed to shower.

No plans tomorrow! I hope it’s sunny!

February 14th

Took my Klonopin at like 8 am instead of noon. It was also sunny. These forces combined to make a good work day! I even went to the mall afterwards! It was a lot, but I got some stuff from Bath and Body Works (soap, hand sanitizer, cat scent things) and some undies from Hot Topic. Almost bought stuff at Pink/VS but there was a better selection online sooo I did some online shopping when I got home. Might have also grabbed some sale stuff from Hollister/Gilly Hicks as well.

I bought tickets to see (and meet) Hank and John Green next month! Aside from the $40 in ticket fees, it was a reasonable price (and ticket proceeds go to charity) and I’m super excited!

February 13th

2.5 hours at the front desk today out of the four hours that I worked...so a pretty easy day, aside from struggling to lift a 20 pound set of plans.

Feeling a little wiggly tonight. A bit lightheaded after my nighttime meds. Just had some chicken nuggets, not sure if I’m up to showering tonight or if that’ll be a tomorrow activity.

Just watching some Paper Mario content on YouTube tonight. Can you beat the whole game without leveling up? Yes, you apparently can. I love it.

February 12th

Half of my work day today was a meeting, which actually wasn’t bad. It keeps me focused on something. But our meeting room was chilly!

I got energy around 8 pm again! What funk!

I should shower. I’m feeling unmotivated. But I got new shampoo and conditioner!

February 11th

I think my new meds are doing something weird to my sleep schedule. I keep getting energy around 8pm. I’m also quite sensitive to light and lightheaded as well.

Gonna try to sleep a little earlier tonight. We’ll see how it goes!

(YouTube for now, though.)

February 10th

I have been sleepy all day! I took a nap after work and I got up to eat dinner! And I’m still sleepy! So sleepy! New meds I’m guessing. Just gonna try to go to bed early tonight. Also might try caffeine tomorrow.

Cas was the best cuddle buddy during my nap though. I woke up and he was my little spoon!

February 9th

Hi friends! I spent several hours hatching Wooloo today. No shiny Wooloo yet, but I got a shiny Garbodor from a surprise trade! I love him!

I’m just chilling and I’m gonna have some ice cream. That’s my evening!

February 8th

Today was a sleepy day! My meds seemed to do well though, I slept soundly and don’t feel anything weird today, so that’s good! Gonna try again tonight and just keep at it!

I listened to music while laying in bed and watching the snow fall today. It was super peaceful. Good mix of Snow Patrol, Pink Floyd, and Ludovico Einaudi. (And a little Nightwish.)

I’m trying to hatch a shiny Wooloo! It’s the first time I’m actively trying for a shiny! No shiny charm but I have the oval charm and I’m using the Masuda Method, so we’ll see how it goes. I’ve hatched maybe 75 so far. Woohoo! Wooloo!

February 7th

Work wasn't too bad today! I had a meeting/training for two hours, then it was just a pretty normal afternoon. Then I went home and slept, like hardcore. Didn't even hear my phone ring or anything.

I'm in the mood for frosting and sprinkles.

February 6th

Work was slow, but Brad and I got Wendy's for dinner and honestly it made me feel a lot better. However, they have made the chicken nuggets in kids' meals smaller and that bothers me. Now I gotta order a real chicken nugget meal like an adult? What's up with that?

Today feels like Friday. It is not. I have had a long week and I am ready for a restful weekend.

The CVS pharmacy inside the Target by me is so many leagues and scores better than the CVS I was using previously. I'm super stoked about this.

February 5th

I’m still feeling off today. Lightheaded and anxious. And sleepy. Haven’t started my new med yet because of these tummy troubles...I don’t want to be sick and then possibly have side effects. Lower back is still not great, and my mattress doesn’t feel like it’s helping. I might try to sleep with a pillow under my back tonight. I can’t tell if I’m anxious because I’m sleepy or sleepy because I’m anxious. Also my eyes are dry and it’s making my vision weird and that’s freaking me out too.

I’m just going to have a super chill evening. Kiss some cats. Watch some YouTube.

February 4th

Today was grey and rainy, but I went to work! I still have lower back back, and my gastrointestinal track is out of whack. Sometimes my stomach hurts and I’m bloated, sometimes I’m really hungry, then that doesn’t sit right with me, but then I’m okay again. The lower back stuff isn’t helping but it doesn’t feel related. It feels like I strained a lumbar muscle or something.

Played some Pokémon tonight. Did some more surprise trades. Ran around. Caught some new friends.

Tomorrow is an early day at work because of a mandatory meeting. And I have to stay until 5 as well. It’s gonna be a long day, but it’ll be fine. I can take a lunch break in the middle!

February 3rd

The weather was so lovely today! My back is still out of whack, but I saw my doctor today. We’re gonna try a new med! 5 in 5 months! I hope this one is good and gets me back on track.

I need to do laundry.

February 2nd

The weather way so nice today! It’s also a super palindrome day! 02/02/2020! I love it.

I went out and about for Pokémon Go today and caught some cutie pie Minccino. And I got two shiny friends! That was fun.

My stomach has been a bit hurty all day and it still is. I took a nap when I got home and now my lower back hurts as well as my stomach. Not sure what’s going on with that! I’m going to have some gentle food for now.

February 1st

January was both very long and very short. I’m glad it’s over though. I’m ready for warmer weather and longer days! I want sunshine!

Brad and I went to the game store to play some board games, we had dinner, and we visited puppies. Not bad for a rainy Saturday!

I also got my hair cut today! I actually really like it so far. I dyed it last night, just a darker brown, and I’m really feeling it with this cut. Gotta bring out the pale skin this time of year, you know?

Anyway, gonna see about beating Pokémon Shield tonight. I think I’m getting close!
