weekly write up 7/28/2024
this week was better (mostly) and busier so let's go!
monday: firstly, i went to home depot to grab paint + a new doorknob to fix ours in the bathroom. back in january, i had an... episode, so to speak, and kyle had to break the doorknob to get me out of the bathroom OTL we've just left it for the past. half year. partially bc we had other things to worry about, partially bc it didn't really bother either of us... but it was starting to bother kyle so off i went. i forgot to take a sample of the door's paint to home depot, though, so i winged it color wise. more on that later. unfortunately our dishwasher BROKE. so that SUCKED lol. i spent a solid few hours trying to fix it, but i eventually gave up so i've been hand waswhing all week...the real reason we are fixing the doorknob: so the landlord can come in and send someone to fix the dishwasher. lmfao. i ended up making nachos but unfortunately, they (like everything lately) did not agree with me. however, they were delicious:
but the day was very salvaged! our really close friend carli was here from LA for a few days for her friend's wedding, so we went out to dinner with her and will to the cheesecake factory! i decided to go casual jirai that night:
honestly most so i could wear my new bubbles shoes out. they are sooooo cute. i'm such a huge fan. anyways, even though i'd been pretty sick for a few days now (not like, contagious, just the eds making me miserable!) i managed to hold down my food (+cheesecake). and of course, i brought the boys with me. does that typo say gong? yes. swipe to text failed me.
so that was fun! i didn't know cheesecake factory did breakfast all day now, so i got the egg combo with potatoes, scrambled eggs with swiss cheese, and an english muffin. it was good! i couldn't eat all of it because of the aforementioned sick but still, it was the most i'd eaten in days so at least there's that. and, of course, cheesecake. this time i opted for the mango key lime bc that has never made me throw up like some other heavy pastries LOL. it worked out fine thankfully! kyle, however, felt a little left out of my pictures so he decided to take one of my joongdok clear cards to take a picture lmao:
i REALLY adore this clear card. one of my favorites that i keep in my wallet. the night ended with will and carli smashing the remains of her cheesecake as a joke (no i don't know how this happened) but then we all started laughing SO HARD that one of the waitresses came over and asked what we were laughing about lmao. all in all a very busy day!
tuesday: mostly chores again, which was boring. however, orv 222 spoilers started, which meant i became briefly insane and had to once more monologue in incomprehensible paragraphs to my friends in an attempt to get them to read orv. so far it has not been terribly successful, but i'll get them one day. i got lena. i can get everyone else. other than that, since it was carli's last day in MA for a bit, we went over to will's house to hang out for a long while. i unfortunately felt worse than i had been feeling, so kyle/carli/will had to go pick me up some food and give me one of will's fancy hydration tablets, which thankfully helped somewhat. i don't think my recent inability to sleep for more than 4 hours a night has been helping this, but you know...
anyways, will's was fun even though i felt like garbage. we played bullshit, which i won because i always win hehe, and then quite a few rounds of sushi go. it was my first time playing despite the fact jason offloaded his set onto us months ago, but i really enjoyed it. def a game i will be glad to play more of. i... also won 2/3 rounds, lmao. i like games!
it was really good to see carli, though. i've missed her dearly. she's basically my only irl female friend? that i (used to) see on the regular. as much as i love my boys, it's nice to have her around. she also as always had some hilarious stories of life over in LA and the bad dates she's been having hahaha. poor girlie can't catch a break. either the girls she likes are all taken or the guys she likes are Bad.
wednesday: literally like nothing happened in comparison lmao. i did chores, hand washed approximately a million dishes, played a decent amount of zzz and wrote some things. kyle was exhausted since he had only gotten a few hours of sleep and unlike me he's a normal person who needs more than 4 hours, so he mostly stayed in bed after he got home which was fine. i didn't mind taking care of him. but yeah i'm struggling to recall if anything really noteworthy happened wednesday? i finished an orv edit after 222 made me insane, but that's like. it lol
thursday: i did So Many Tasks. it was like. all chores. i barely had time to do anything for myself lmao, between chores and job apps and scheduling an interview etc. anyways, when kyle got home he decided to start on fixing the door, so he asked me about the paint and i was like "well i.... eyeballed it. bc i forgot to peel some from the bathroom door." and i had also gotten him the wrong paintbrush so he was not particularly happy with me.... and bc both of us are awful when we were stressed he was kind of not very nice about it.... but jason ended up coming over as usual and that def salvaged the night LOL. instead of watching stuff like usual, jason decided he needed to talk to us about philosophy and the meaning of life for. 5 straight hours. so we ordered pizza and listened to his revelations and it was pretty delightful all things considered? j and i are often on the same wavelength so it was very easy for me to follow. after j went home kyle apologized for being so rude about stuff earlier so we moved past that pretty quick thankfully.
friday: since the paint debacle happened, i bit the bullet and decided i would head back to home depot and get a different paint with a chip from the door to match. however, i got curious and wanted to see how off i had been from memory, and, uh:
to which i texted kyle that i didn't think we needed new paint and he just. was completely horrified that my color matching memory is so good from all those years of graphic design/amv editing that i could do this from a crappy phone picture of our bathroom door and my own memory... and honestly i was pretty horrified too. so i ended up going JUST IN CASE i could find a better match. i did end up grabbing one bc in different lighting it matched better? but in other lighting my original sample matched better. so figure i could let kyle fuck around with it and decide himself lol. that's about the only interesting thing that happened to me friday tbh. kyle went to will's to see him and nick after work since nick so rarely comes out of hiding lol, but i was tired and people'd out from the week so opted to stay home and play a ton more zzz instead lol. he ended up getting home wicked late like 1:45am? when there was a paintball event the next morning lol so he sort of regretted that, but apparently will after doing his microdose was feeling very vulnerable and wanted a friend for a bit which i understood. he was okay! just a little lonely and i was happy kyle was able to help out. but when he got home he was like "oh you're still awake?" to which i said "yeah it's not 4am yet" that he laughed at but... that wasn't really a joke........ sobs
saturday: kyle head out to his paintball event pretty early, so i just hung out and relaxed at home. writing, zzz, reading, some laundry, the usual. i MEANT to clean my bookshelf but by the time i remembered i wanted to do that he was already coming home lol and i hate doing big cleaning projects when people are around me so. yes even my own husband. no, this doesn't really make sense. but that was fine! it was a perfectly alright day. he got home around 6ish and we just hung out for the rest of the night. i helped with some graphic design stuff for the paintball field he wanted to do and that was about it. i still felt really crappy though, so i ended up heading into bed at around 1:30 instead of my usual, but still didn't sleep well... or much.... in between was also sapphy's birthday! and missy and i deciding we were only editing camera shy for the rest of the year LOL.... what would i do without my friends...........
sunday: here's where a bit of hell broke lose. i am having a super annoying billing issue with my therapist's office, and they'd processed another charge despite me emailing asking them to contact me to figure it out. i don't have much in my account obvs with the whole no income thing, but i was also supposed to be the one using my savings to pay rent since kyle had to pay his quarterly taxes the past month and that always takes out a metric fuckton of his savings. so i was SUPER freaking out. bc after rent i would've had like $300 in my personal account bc of the charges which is just. no thank you! so when he got up he realized pretty quick i was not okay and i had a bit of a breakdown about it and he was like. wtf why didn't you tell me any of this you dummy. i would've helped and figured it out with you. so we did talk about it and came up with some things to change up/do to kind of alleviate this, and also i no longer have to have the rent come out of my account which was a huge relief. still not a great situation and i'm not happy about having to deal with it this week, but hey, better than nothing. esp since i got another interview somewhere AND the OTW got back to me about my recruitment volunteer application and scheduled an interview with me, which i was psyched about.
more importantly, though, my MIL wanted to treat us to the zoo down in providence today! here are some highlights, ft seisub on a very topical to canon zoo date:
while i didn't get a picture, the binturon and the giant river otters were also highlights for me. the live bird show was also awesome! i was pretty impressed with the zoo overall, it was my first time there and they had fantastic care going on. makes me happy! we then went and grabbed takeout courtesy once more of my MIL. since i still am not feeling very good, i got udon:
it was very good udon! i still have some leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, so that's nice. we also played set with her and my FIL once he got home from golfing lol. i was forced to sit out after one round bc i am too competitive and too fast...... LOL. as i said earlier, i just like games! they scratch the perfect brain itch. also frances was way too kind and saw me panicking about finances and sent me some money to buff my account up a bit, which was really kind of her and i wish she wouldn't do that lmao. i appreciate it immensely and i know she can afford it, but idk. feels bad! she's a friend i don't want her to think i only talk to her for her money or something.
anyways, one of the things we decided on before the zoo was that kyle would finally be sending out a price raise email to his clients, and i was really proud of him for it. he was putting it off because of anxiety, but with my situation he was like okay i just gotta. i told him to feel free to leverage my health if needed hahaha. and now we're here!
last week's goals? literally none lol let's try this again
hopes for next week:
