trainerlyra and another week gone... week had some ups and downs, so let's get into em.
monday: i was exhausted from the weekend's fighting, so this was a very lowkey day. i was pretty subdued through most of it, mostly editing for birthday hell and playing some more cyber sleuth. oh, and cleaning, i cleaned and did a ton of laundry. really like nothing happened that day besides kyle telling me that we were gonna be okay and that i would and could get better even if i didn't think so. my in laws also dropped by briefly to hear about our germany trip, but i just hid in the bathroom under the guise of a migraine lol. couldn't people. this also started my week of horrifically little sleep unfortunately LOL. i usually can get between 5.5-6.5 hours most nights, but i was operating at a pretty even 4-4.5 all week... which sucked.........when i went to try and sleep (at like 3:30) birds were CHIRPING REALLY LOUDLY LMAO and i couldn't sleep until almost 5. sigh.
tuesday: therapy tuesday, which was reassuring to hear that he believed my blow up on saturday was not normal and was likely because of the issue with my psychiatrist ghosting me and not sending my meds... which did in fact get fixed thankfully. kyle was out a bit late hanging out with jorie & will, but he called me and made a deal where if i had a real actual lunch he'd pick me up macaroons of my choice lol. so of course i did:
not a very fancy lunch at all, but those gardein mandarin orange (fake) chicken are really fucking good lol. for my bribery treat, i chose blueberry & rose, as i have never had either of those flavors in macaroons before. i'm usually very into raspberry/passion fruit/lavender, so this was a nice change! they were very good. and very pretty!
not much else happened tuesday; i played cyber sleuth, got some writing in, edited. the usual. unfortunately went to bed at 4ish. again. this trend will keep up through the whole week...
wednesday: very lowkey day again for the most part. laundry was done, kyle and i playd frisbee when he got home, i really. did not do much LOL. i was so exhausted because i had not been sleeping so the day is very much a blur. however i did wake up to kyle's silliness at my desk:
also, importantly, some DVDs came in the mail...
i know the x movie is horrendous in terms of plot/dub, but i MUST torture jason and kyle with it, so i had to own it. the tokyo babylon DVD is really just for me. but i'll make them watch it too!
thursday: jason day, of course, but first and more importantly a VERY important package was delivered:
HOLY LANTERN IN GREEN!!!!!!! my phone does not pick up how gorgeous the color is irl, but i'll try again when i finally get a chance to wear it out (aka when it is not a million degrees outside). i've wanted this dress since i first really got into lolita in 2019, but holy lantern has always been so sought after i could never justify the price. i finally said fuck it (despite having no job lmao) and went for it. it's so so beautiful in person. this is the 2018 release, so it has the original flocky instead of the poly that was used in original releases. i'm so thrilled to finally have it in my closet and i look very much forward to wearing it out. my actual ootd to wear to j's though was this:
yes, my shoes are two different colors, i have two pairs of them in black/pink but the other shoe on each broke... and needs to be repaired.... so i've been mixing them for a few weeks now lmao. absolutely adore this skirt, i love liz lisa black prints. i need more of them eventually when income is no longer fixed lol. jason's overall was a great time, we watched demon slayer, got wicked good pizza (regina's my beloved), and then just hung out and cuddled for awhile together. he's been really worried about me later which is very sweet of him. kept asking me if i was okay or if i needed anything. he leaves for scotland tomorrow for 10 days, so i'll really miss him while he's away :( we got home wicked late from his place, almost 1am, so kyle went to bed at 2:30 and i went to bed at....5. oops. oh, also kingdom hearts came out on steam which was an insta buy (please ignore my lack of income). i haven't actually replayed KH in years, the last time was the year before KH3 came out so... it's been awhile. i'm excited to go through them again soon. i love KH a lot.
friday: kyle sent me money to buy lunch which was really the highlight of my day lol. partially bc we were tired from the previous night and also because groceries wouldn't arrive until the evening. i got falafel king, which. man. they have GOOD falafel there. the meal i ordered was more than enough for both lunch & dinner, which was very nice to not have to worry about cooking:
kyle was out with quinn so i mostly did. the usual. LMAO. i did hear back from the place i interviewed at last week, mari's workplace, and they offered me a temp position but with only phone calls and no chat/emails. i declined, because not only does that sound miserable but i don't want temp work at all whatsoever. sucks, but hopefully they reach out if there's another opening. but yeah as i said, i was very much a zombie this week. the 4 hours of sleep is something i can sustain for a few days, but not every day in a week anymore... i am no longer 15 and can stay up for literally 73 hours straight without sleep. i may not need MUCH still, but my god i need something lmfao. once he got home it was a pretty lowkey evening!
saturday: paintball & a party for kyle today, so i was on my own again. he offered for me to come with him to the party, but wasn't pressed about it, so i declined lol. i did a lot of writing, and a LOT of editing... even though i had an editing scare where for some reason vegas decided this project sucks and it wants to crash and attempt to corrupt it a lot. sigh. the life of an amv editor... i've mostly been working on my ikarishipping day edit, since birthday hell crunch is finally finished. i love ikarishipping, i miss them very much. i also watched the tokyo babylon OVAs while folding laundry, they are still not... GREAT..... but they weren't as bad as i remembered, so that was a pleasant surprise. i also got my july break bingo! i'm looking forward to writing for that, too, after my tanabata fest fics are finished.... which reminds me what i SHOULD be doing but am not yet. lmao. he got home at almost 4am, which was good because i could NOT stay asleep without him. oops. he gave me a very nice leg massage though and i finally got some decent sleep.... for 5 hours. lmao.
sunday: today! it's father's day here, and i love my dad - my one good parent lol - so i was happy to go out to lunch with him, his wife, and kyle. we went to applebee's, which i did not realize had gotten rid of like, their entire vegetarian section barring the impossible burger which i cannot eat because it is too much like real meat..... but i was able to get one of the bowls and sub out the shrimp for more black beans and that was fine enough. i was surprised how cheap it is over there now though? kyle said we should go back sometime soon which i would be very happy to. i love dinner dates. other than that, today has also been very lowkey. he's actually still asleep (went right back to sleep once we got back from our lunch) and i have been editing. i think i'll get some writing in & play some cyber sleuth after i finish this mask, though.
last week's goals? i was much better about cooking this week... partially bc i didn't eat much, but still. i have not yet finished one of my tanabata fest fics but i am SO CLOSE on the one i was working on most of this week. i literally just have to finish this scene and the connecting one and the fic is finished. it's not my best work but it IS work and it's also my first time writing TB!seisub and more also seisub with no smut so. i did not organize my closet.... i'll try and tackle that this week.
hopes for next week-
