Nothing like a little anaphylaxis to ruin your bedtime and send you to the ER for a Benadryl cocktail and a fat nap. I am so tired from last night’s adventure. Being chronically ill is dumb.

I will never understand kids and young adults making jokes about 9/11. I wasn’t alive during WWII, but I have certainly never made a joke about it. Listening to people’s terrified calls from the towers and planes should be required in school if they’re going to be THAT heartless about it otherwise.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

Are you a cat? Have you been forced to wait three to five minutes for dinner? YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION. Call 1-800-FEED-MEE. Operators are standing by.

Ugh, I have to get an up to date doctor’s note to be exempt from jury duty next week. With how bad my POTS has been acting up lately it would be bad news bears to be stuck somewhere without full access to what I need 😬

Spent the evening setting up my own PDS with a new ATProto account just to see how it works…I might just have to migrate this account over there, too.

I actually went swing dancing (not just dancing at a wedding) tonight for the first time in forever. I did better than I anticipated I would!

Becoming a part of the Pokémon community has been surprisingly amazing. The hobby is marked by insane scalping and investibros, but individuals have been SO welcoming, generous, and friendly. It feels really good to see people be this kind to one another, especially to kids like my little guy. 💜

Everyone in the house is asleep but me after a rough night of one person being sick, the other person being 8, and me being done with life. I still have volunteer work I owe someone 😭😭

Today I found the perfect shop for building up my collection of cute lil guys…tons of boxes of bulk Pokémon, sorted by expansions, right by tables to sit at and sort through. Right near my house. 25 cents each. Makes me feel like a kid. 💜

This week I jailbroke my Kindle so I could use the Koreader app and sync my reading progress across my phone (via Readest), Kindle, and Xteink X4. It works flawlessly!

I love seeing all the interest in the Xteink ereaders. I got an X4 a handful of months ago and it really is such a fun little gadget. Pretty sure I sold one yesterday at the nail salon when the girl next to me saw mine out and could not believe how tiny it is!

Tired today, but I’ve been able to take it very easy since I arrived and my room is super comfy and nice. Gearing up to go people for the day though, ugh.

Finally back on the plane and leaving…hilariously as soon as they had to give us auto meal vouchers, the plane was fixed before anyone had a chance to use them.
