As I lie in bed with my shoulder triggered I remain extremely frustrated about what happened at the PT last week. Saw the doctor earlier for my shoulder/neck, specifically saying I was interested in dry needling some knots because they’re real stubborn and haven’t responded to any stretching I do—

I need the man upstairs to stop making whatever stinky stinky dish he’s been making the last few months. Whatever this new craze is must cease. Smells like garbaaaaage down here now.

Reasons to go see a movie in theaters: Dino kids talking dinos, ladies who scream SO LOUD at the jump scares that everyone laughs. Reasons not to: kids coughing and sneezing behind you, and you didn’t bring your mask 😬

Tempted to challenge myself to not use the internet (outside of work) for at least a week and see what happens to my productivity…

Man, I need a Canadian merch mule so I can buy some GF stuff from outside the US. No one is shipping here and it S U C K S

Anyone else tired of how there’s just constantly new stuff to consume? I miss the new fall line up when it was like eeeeh ok maybe one of these shows will be worth my time. And now it’s like there’s 20 things every week in 8 different locations so good luck. Oh and they’ll all vanish by next week.

I know I have 0 reach here, but I’m selling some “sad” triangle stickers in my Etsy shop: thesalmonshack.etsy.com/listing/4535... #gravityfalls #billcipher #thebookofbill

Must summon the strength to clean my bathroom after turning into jelly.

Going from having an online friend you talk to like ever day to them being too busy to even have a 5 minute conversation with you is something I have yet figured out how to cope with. Hahaaaa Yaay.

A month ago I was spending my bday at Trillium Lake and hanging out with this cheeky Stellar’s and hoooooo boy I just wanna go back and never leave.

The upcoming feature The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will bypass a theatrical debut in theaters in October 2026 and premiere on Paramount+ as the streamer becomes the exclusive home of all animated content from Avatar Studios.

Omg we should just get to go home. Our log in server seems to be down so we can’t really do any work today. I especially cannot. -_-

Boy, next year is a shopping ban. No more stickers, no more tshirts, no more whatever thing I neeeeeed. I’ve got too much stuff. -_-

I love not sleeping. -_-

In other news: I am very ready for the upcoming time off. Can’t wait to knock stuff off the to do list.

Winter basement living update: it suuuucks. It’s not that it doesn’t seem to retain heat, it’s that the heat doesn’t seem to be able to compete with the cold, cold ground underneath that is constantly radiating cold. I could handle it being 68 in the duplex, but here it just feels drafty,

You know, I don't care for these streamers being like, "We own you so bad, we're gonna have the guts to put up big new episodes on holidays." Nah fuck you guys. I'm gonna wait.

OMG but what will happen to the penny pressing machines???
