Also? Fridge is still dead and beeping every 5ish minutes, and still shares the same wall as my bedroom . That does not help with not waking up at 3am. But! Fingers crossed, it should be fixed, finally, today. This move has been a challenge in ways I never anticipated.

Well, well, well 3am we meet again. Wish we’d stop seeing each other like this. But here we are.

She made herself a nest with our Oma rug and one of her blankets and I’m dead of cute.

My tongue is numb because I munched on too much raw garlic. I have no regrets.

Oh. Neat. Okay. Turns out I didn’t think about the fact that I planted some of the dog’s favorite treats (broccoli, lettuce, and spinach), she is obsessed with the beds and is going to be a pain to keep out lol. Whoops 🤣

Plant babies!! Have broccoli, lettuce, chives, two kinds of cucumbers, spinach, and beefsteak tomatoes popping up already 😍

And yes, because of everything health wise, am finally taking myself to urgent care in the morning. Have had a few telehealth visits, but at this point, I give up. Am actually falling apart and damn I’m tired. Would like to sleep but burning throat is like nah, we’re not doing that.

Can’t sleep, so I’m sitting here ordering more seeds and planning more containers because I’m so excited about how well things are growing. I am a ridiculous person. But dang it, I love my little set up and growing things is pretty dang cool.

Throat is on fire, because OF COURSE, but turns out seeing that a bunch of my seeds have sprouted helps one forget!

The beeping fridge may be keeping me up, but that also means that I get to run it into my siblings who both woke up to temps in the 30s, that even at 4am, it’s 70 here and I have seeds sprouting in my beds and wow, they’re unimpressed but also clearly jealous lol

So we were already going to be in California for New Year’s Eve - aka my dad’s birthday and subsequent big birthday bash, and after all the recent disasters, decided to go a few days early and be there for Christmas. Haven’t been there for Christmas since 2009, cannot wait!

Protest Unicorn has been deployed to Hawai’i for No Kings! Good turn out here in Hilo, too! Didn’t get many pics, it started to rain and well, an inflatable in the rain is a whole thing.

But upsides to being awake, found the unicorn costume!! It is a requirement for No Kings today, Hawaiian unicorn debut is imminent!!

Fridge is still dead, but last night, at about 2am, heard this persistent beeping. Turns out the fridge, after being completely dead for almost 2 weeks, turned on! Wtf. The freezer is cooling, fridge is not. Fridge is at room temp and beeps every few minutes as a high temp warning. Neat.

This baby. I swear. So frigging cute because they were a very tiny demon…and I say that with lots of love, because for real, they were. But again, so damn cute.

My parents went to see Whalefall tonight with a group of friends because while definitely not their normal style of movie, parts were filmed at home, so they felt they had check it out. My mom flipped out at the trailer to Sharknado and has been scared of Jaws for decades lol but okay 🤣 go for it.

And then, I was like where the hell did the corgi go?!? Found her. Again, truly comically tall bed.

No idea where the dog is hiding. None. Not even one clue.

Bestie is currently watching Metallica at the Sphere and sending me pics and videos and I’m so fucking jealous but also so excited for her and love that she’s there. And straight up told her husband that it should be her and I there instead haha.

Garden has been prepped and planted, now it’s the waiting for things to grow and patience isn’t my strong suit. But will try to be so, because omg I can grow food!!

After coming up empty at 4 stores, including Sally’s, ordered alligator clips for teen to re-bleach their hair. Corgi is for scale. Yes, the clips were the only thing in there. Absolutely ridiculous.

Teen took the truck today and well, now they’re sad because they have to fill it on their dime AND do the trash run after work that I was going to do today. But am not putting stinky trash in the Prius. Being lazy is both expensive and leads to more work, as it turns out.

Evergreen post: every time I get an ancestry dna update, I get more white. Who knew that was possible?! (I knew. Not shocking, at all, as I know exactly where my grandparents/greats immigrated from lol)

Plopping geckos will be the end of me.

I don’t want to brag but I turned off the ac that was on dehumidifier mode so not even cooling because I was cold. It’s 75 in here. My joints are so freaking happy.

Wait. Today is a holiday? Ohhhh. That explains a lot. This is what happens when you’re gainfully self-funemployed, days lose meaning and little things like “federal holidays” aren’t meaningful since everyday is a weekend now.

Predictable: put a step stool next to my bed, great for getting up on comically large bed, bad when I forget it’s there when getting out of said bed. Whoops lol

House smells soooo smoky, kiddo has a migraine, and there were weird clouds in the volcano’s direction today. Waiting to see what Kilauea does but guessing it’ll be new and fun.

Spicy margarita with jalapeños I grew, trying to murder the parasite with tequila and spice or something like that.

Every time I see my comically tall bed, I laugh. Hamstring may be sore af today but worth it because with everything else going on, this has brought levity I really needed.
