Entombed, PHEE MY BELOVED.

Omega is having so much fun in the junkyard she finds extreme enrichment in being able to Steal and Scavenge. I love that Omega craves Treasure this season, it's for a sad reason (SHE HAS TO EARN HER RIGHT TO EXIST WITH HER FAMILY RIGHT?) but it's also delightful to watch. LET SMALL GIRLS STEAL ALL THEY WANT, IT'S IMPORTANT TO THEIR PSYCHE.

Bolo and Ketch at Phee's storytime is so cute

Tech you would only know the story changes every time if you were listening every time she told it (and remembering the details) you know you like storytime.

God Hunter has reached maximum tired dad in this episode like legitimately the most exhausted I have ever seen him. His completely tired voice on 'Those two will believe anything.' Tired glances exchanged with Echo. This face.

We have a bit to go before he gets to that face but I am fucking entranced by it. Haunted by it. God give him a nap.

Tech and Phee sorting through the garbage haul together. Date Night Ideas for nerds.

MEL-221 is SO cute I love the paint job

Tech absolutely wants to pick Phee's brain for more unknown systems he wants to put them on his map, he MUST put more systems on his map.

Hunter turning around while they're talking though like he senses a disturbance in the force and it's going to make his life more difficult isn't it?

God him doing grouchy knife tricks in the background watching Omega copy Phee like she used to do with him, Hunter is so mad that is HIS little sister and Phee is STEALING HER.

"Who'd wanna hide treasure here?" Echo let's be real, the best place to hide treasure is where no one in their right mind would ever want to go. It just makes sense. Their distaste for how much this place sucks is great though, Echo has two sides: One wants to be doing more to fight the Empire, the other wants to find a nice sunny spot and drink a margarita already. Notably NEITHER of those sides wants to be on Suck Planet looking for Supposed Treasure.

CUTLASS CUTLASS CUTLASS

"If I'm right, which is always~" I love her so much.

Also her dramatically like THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO SKARA NAL! And Echo is just. The WHAT? Genuinely one of my favorite things is when someone says something and Echo's entire reaction is "What the FUCK are you TALKING ABOUT?"

Phee you need to be aware when discussing 'the ancients' that everyone besides you in this room is less than 12 years old and their entire culture began that long ago too, they have very little reference for ancient anything.

Omega <3 BABY GIRL IS SO SMART also I love laying the compass on Phee's lantern to make it a projector that is so good

Hunter sensing the creature coming before it growls, I always love to see some of his enhanced senses at play. AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS WRECKER ABOUT TO GET EATEN, WHAT ABOUT HIM IS SO IMMENSELY SNACKABLE?

"You're just making this up as you go" hush Hunter that is your entire MO and you know it.

"So we have to navigate this death trap without it?" "Good thing you have me :D" *HUNTER GIVES THE LONGEST SIGH AND DRAWS HIS GUN FOR NO REASON JUST TO EMPHASIZE HOW UNCOMFORTABLE HE IS*

I love the door opening with the SPINNING as it slides

Heart of the Mountain is so pretty I want it as a rock candy

I've noticed when they need someone to fall while they're dangling precariously it's always Echo that goes first, life is hard when you have one hand capable of gripping.

The interior when the... it looks like a tomb guardian from Jedi Fallen Order iirc... activates looks so good.

Phee protectively clinging to the Heart of the Mountain, she doesn't WANNA give it up! Fair, Phee.

Hunter saving her last minute is such a good moment too, honestly this is a fun episode and yet another one I can't understand why people hated it sooooo much. This fandom lacks joy sometimes.

Let me tell you this thing approaching the Marauder is still stressful despite knowing nothing happens to it because of my intense belief that the marauder is NOT making it out of this show in one piece.

Them all being in this thing as it randomly self destructs is a lot, WHY DOES IT DO THAT WHEN YOU PUT THE THING BACK IN

"This puts as at 0 for 2 in treasure hunting"

MEL being blown up so much that Phee keeps a backup of her on the ship is a great detail.

Feb 23

Big big anxiety, not sure why. Maybe PMS? Maybe just something in the air, seems like everyone is going thru it rn. Couldn't sleep last night bc of it but ended up texting D and he was very helpful at distracting me enough to fall asleep lol. Weed would've helped but I only have half an edible left, might go to one of those CBD places and see what kinda delta variations I can get around here. Went to the farmers market with my mom this morning and almost had a meltdown bc of stupid random anxiety? So now we're back home and I'm laying in a dark room pretending I'm napping just tryna chill out haha. Supposed to rain all day tmro so I feel bad about wasting this beautiful day but it is what it is.

Bossman finally texted, next gig starts in about 3 weeks so I gotta find a way to fill my time before then. Might go see my dad for a day or two, he's vacationing about 5 hours from here. Might go camp in the woods somewhere. Gotta clean the van and do all my responsibility things. 3 weeks to lose 5-10 lbs though lol 🤪

Thinking about buying a 30ft RV and finding a campground to work/camp for the season but idk. What if I hate staying in one place for too long? So many layers to it. Not really feeling excited about another year of the same festival circuit so idk. Maybe just one more year to save up for the initial expenses/renovations. Who knows.

Update we ended up going out to dinner and I ate too much + 2 margaritas so I'm feeling better lol

We took the shuttle and headed down to the river. The kids loved it, ran out some energy (endless storage of it I guess), and we looked for some dinner. Similar to everywhere else in the country, places are short-staffed. So - restaurants are full at about 50% capacity. We kept walking until we found another Mexican restaurant - one that also serves chicken nuggets and grilled cheese, and of course, margaritas. I snapped a great photo of how last night’s dinner went:

Ryin mowing everything in site, dipping her hand in the salsa asking for more syrup (she had syrup in a similar container yesterday morning), and kev and I downing our beergaritas. Kev managed to offend everyone he talked to. 1. He told this “couple” behind us to think twice about having kids right away. It was a dad and daughter. 2. A woman walked by and made a comment, in a nice way, that she could hear our kids from across the restaurant. Kev apologized and said something along the lines that margaritas help. And she said ‘you shouldn’t drink’. 3. Kev was showing Gray the ‘turn the beer upside down and the lime goes down’ trick and ended up spraying the older woman behind us who was drinking a Mountain Dew. She went along with it, but almost too much. Like, we got it, you got sprayed. So we hightailed it outta there to catch the shuttle (comes every 30 min but if we miss this one… we’re in trouble with naps).

We got home, got Ryin to bed, Kev made us dinner - and we ended the night with some s’mores. Gray ate his first s’more so fast he asked where it went.

Survey #198

“i woke up on the wrong side of my floor.”

What do you get tired of having to explain? It's not something asked frequently at all, but since I had to to new doctors and ER workers etc., I'm not a fan of re-telling the break-up story with Jason. What perk of being “grown up” lived up to your childhood expectations? Independence, though I. Don't act on it much with my dependent ass. Who is your least favorite character in the last show you watched? Shoot me, Sara and Con, but so far Zuko as a villain doesn't impress me. If you weren’t in a relationship with your significant other (or last) and you met them for the first time tonight, would you hook up with them? I wouldn't "hook up" with anyone. Is there a place that makes you sad to return to? It's just better for me to stay away from the place Jason and I took our first prom pictures. I actually returned there last fall to take pictures however; I was fine, but it still felt weird. What is the most morally questionable thing that you’ve done? Idk. Has anyone ever surprised you by changing when you didn’t believe that they could? Dad, 100%. What is the best advice a sibling has given you? Something from Ashley regarding the break-up when I was starting to recover, but I can't remember exactly what. Was there an opportunity that you feel like you missed out on in high school? Hm... thought about this quite a bit, and I actually don't think so? I mean I wish my mental health had been better, but I overall had a fair experience. What was the biggest lie you’ve told a significant other? Idk, it's just about impossible for me to tell an s/o a serious lie; or small ones, for that matter. Maybe that I wasn't mad about something when I was? Idk. Have you ever treated someone badly because someone else treated you badly? I'm sure I have at some point, just not deliberately. What is your favorite lyric from your favorite band? Don't- What is the worst thing you’ve said or done while PMSing? Boy, I've done some dumb shit. Probably self-harm (no, it's not something I do now). Did you have an irrational childhood fear? Oh, I'm sure. None are coming to me now... Well, do you consider serious separation anxiety "irrational?" Do you and your significant other have ‘a song’? What is it? Oh boy, a lot. "Pretty Woman" by Van Halen and Paramore's "The Only Exception" get me the most, though. Do you ever give things away to your friends? Don't really have anyone to do that with. Is there anyone’s friendship or relationship, in particular, that makes you jealous? Nope. Well, it'd be absolutely incredible to have a friendship (so in this case, not counting Sara) like Rhett and Link. I'm not even remotely kidding, they were the ones that made me question my former, humiliating outlook on homosexuality because my heart just yelled at me to ship them & I still do lol. Do you have anyone’s tweets sent directly to your phone? Whose? No. Have you ever caused a lot of noise in a library? No. Do you complain a lot? Eh, depends on the day and subject. Have you ever been to a music festival? Yes, but only to take pictures for a photography class. What was the last thing that completely took your breath away? The blood wolf moon. I stayed up 'til like, 2-3-something to see totality, and it was fucking incredible. I hadn't seen a full lunar eclipse since I was a kid. If your life was a movie, what would it be rated? R, probably... mostly due to excessive cursing lmao. Are you more of a talker or a listener? A listener. Have you ever called in at a radio station & dedicated a song to someone? No. Would you ever go to a protest or be involved in a protest? Sure. When playing rock, paper, scissors which do you usually pick? I think scissors. Have you ever tried to write a book? Yes. Have you ever been hit by a chunk of hail? Maybe a small one? Would you ever try any extreme sports? No. Is it true that if you don’t love yourself, you can’t love another? I've always found that idea as absolute and utter bullshit. Do you ever try making your dream up before falling asleep? I just daydream; I don't like, actively hope it'll transfer into a legitimate dream. Ever been on a golf cart? Yes. Have you ever slapped someone in the face? No. Last person you took a nap with? Sara. Are you embarrassed by anything you have in your bedroom? No. Is your last ex currently in a relationship? Not to my knowledge. Has anyone ever given you roses? Yeah. Would you rather have your parents catch you having sex or smoking weed? asjfpawe quite honestly, smoking weed. The former would probs kill me. Do you owe anybody money? No. How many times have you gotten into a argument with the last person you kissed? Now as adults and not stupid kids, just a handful. Maybe just one or two serious ones. What’s the most positive thing anyone has ever said about you? When I actually had a brain, compliments I got regarding my intelligence meant a lot. Maybe there's something else, but that's just the first that came to mind. What’s the most positive thing you would say about yourself right now? I'm very empathetic and care a lot about cheering people up. Have you ever been to church? What was it like? I grew up going to church, and at no point in my life did I enjoy it. When I was old enough to not be forced to go, I quickly stopped, even when I was still religious. What’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day? If it's not hot, swim. How many different drugs have you tried? None that weren't prescription. List each drug, and how it made you feel. N/A Which drug do you consider to be your favorite (including alcohol)? Well, I don't even like the taste of alcohol... but I guess that has to be the answer as it's the only one I'll ever indulge in. Who have you had sex with in order from best to worst (you can use initials if you want)? Only done it with one person. What’s your favorite kind of alcoholic beverage? Margaritas. Do you feel like different alcohols have different effects on you? No. Honestly, how good do you think you are in bed? What about oral? Eh, I'm shy, but I don't think I'm bad. It was good enough to get the job done, at least. I fucking hated oral so therefore rarely did it, so idk. What’s your biggest thing you want to accomplish? Overcoming my hard-as-diamonds anxiety. Three favorite candies. Go. Reese's. Sour Punch Straws. Peach rings. What was the last stupid thing someone talked you into believing? Idk. What’s a song that would describe your life at the moment? I legit feel "In The End" by Linkin Park pretty deeply of the late. Man, somehow been a year and still R.I.P. Chester. ;_; What was the last thing that you shared? Idk. Do you ever eat leftover pizza cold? I love cold pizza. Where are you the most ticklish? FEET. When you’re wanting a midnight snack, what do you normally get? I don't have them. Which cartoon character would you want to keep as a pet? Maybe Vulpix. Small and cute and isn't like, actually on fire. Have you ever considered a career in music/acting? No. When was the last time you felt seriously embarrassed? At a VR class when I was talking and completely lost my train of thought and caused like five awkward silences. If your bedroom walls could talk, what would they most likely say? "Bitch u ever move?" Did you ever really believe in Santa Claus? Yes. Have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book it was based on? Maybe? I'm unsure, but I doubt it. Did you like the show Invader Zim? I never really watched it. What’s the greatest/most influential song you’ve ever heard? Ozzy's "Life Won't Wait." Have you ever bought yourself a present at Christmas? I mean, I've been given money to buy something myself. Is there someone that you’re mean to for no good reason? No? I have damn good reason to be unfriendly to Bentley, but not mean. What was the last thing you got out of the freezer? A rat for Venus. How many people signed you latest yearbook? Not too many, but I didn't ask a lot to. How is your mom today? Probably the same as always: Tired and stressed. Do you prefer long or short hair on the opposite sex? Generally, longer hair. But of course it varies on the person. Would you swap your first name for your middle? No, that would sound so weird. Plus I like my name. Would you rather have 10 siblings or be an only? Hm... growing up as an only child would suck, I think. Ten is a hell of a lot, but I'd prefer that over none. What is your favorite soda? Mountain Dew Voltage is my Achilles' heel. Do like country music? No. It's seldom I'll like any. Tim McGraw impresses me most of the time, though, but not to where I'll go look up a song and binge it. Are you afraid of black cats? Not at all. Do you watch the lightning during storms? No, I stay inside. If I'm in a car though, I keep an eye out. Do you like Scentsy stuff? Sure, but I don't buy anything from it. Do you like House? Never seen it. How many tracks were on the last album you listened to? Idr. Which one of your relatives is most likely to embarrass you? Probably Dad. The way he interacts with some people is kinda... weird to where people may feel like he's being rude, when he in no way intends it. You can tell some people don't get him. Are there any songs in your iTunes library that you’ve never listened to? No. Who is the most intelligent person you know? My psychiatrist probably qualifies as a genius. Who was the last female you were introduced to? My personal VR coach. Who was the last male you were introduced to? I have no idea. Who is that last person who harassed and annoyed you? I feel like it was some kid that annoyed me, but idr. Who is the last person who made you feel hurt? Probably Mom. What was the last thing you were worried about? My job future. Are you worried about anyone now? Not really. What time of day feels the most magical to you? Early morning, especially when it's dewy with a light mist and a pink sky as the sun starts to rise... whew. Love it. Who are you jealous of? My sisters and an old friend that's a professional photographer now. What is the last physical ailment you took medication for? Nausea. If you are a YouTuber, are you behind on posting videos? N/A Who is a great YouTuber you have recently discovered? Not really anyone recently. What color is your bathrobe? I don't have one. What is a great pain reliever? Depends on the pain? Are you interested in a guy who has a girlfriend? No. Do you sell any products? If so, what do you sell? No. Are you responsible with money? I believe so, having learned to be very frugal from growing up poor. My weakness is tats, though... I have to make a genuine effort to save for other things. Are you responsible in general? Not very, honestly... but it also depends on what I have responsibility over. Do you use a nightlight? No. Kaiju's and Venus' lights stay on, however, if you wanna count that. Do you have a girl that is strictly a friend that isn’t related to you that you can go to? Not really. Are you “the good guy”, or “the bad guy”, or somewhere in between? I guess the good guy? Have you ever watched the original British Skins? No, nor the American. It disgusted me. Do you like Oreos? Hell yeah. Have you ever had a sex dream about someone you barely know? I don't believe so. Were you a cute baby? I was, dude. Would you ever shoot someone right in the face? If it was in self-defense with someone trying to seriously hurt or kill me, that's right where I'd aim. Have you ever sold drugs? No. Have you ever been shot? No. Are you on good terms with your parents? Yeah. What’s your opinion on border control? It's necessary for the protection of our country. I'm totally for legal immigration, mind you. Have you had any major tragedies in your life? I'd say one event qualifies. What do you think of open casket funerals? No opinion, I think... A part of me feels like the risk of someone disrespecting the body isn't worth it, but simultaneously I firmly feel the actual family and those very close to this person have the right to see them one final time looking at peace. Have you ever had a pet rat? Quite a number. I had two pairs where three died of unknown causes, while one developed cancer and passed. Went through two that died last year; one had to be sick upon adopting her, as she passed very quickly, and her sister immediately followed suit. Adopted Mitsu, later another to try to give her a partner (rats are social and aren't supposed to live alone), but she'd already grown territorial, so the sweetheart had to be returned. Now I just have Mitsu. Could you go a year without sex? It's already been three, and longer wouldn't matter to me. Have you ever wore pajamas a whole straight week? I'm just about always at home in my pj's, and considering I leave like, never... but not the same pair that long. Have you ever waxed your legs? No. Have you ever taught a little kid to flick people off? The fuck, no. Are you more of a taker or giver? Giver. Have you ever itched yourself until your skin was raw? I have permanent scars on both shins from that; my skin becomes unbearably itchy after I shave and then scrub my legs in the shower. Nothing seems to stop it. Do you always clear your history after using the computer? No. Have you ever been chased by a cat? Playing with kittens/juveniles, probably, considering just how many we've had throughout my life. Have you ever had your food stolen by a bird? No. Have you ever dyed your hair light auburn? No. Do you take really good care of your feet? Run now w/ potential TMI: My feet are like. Nothing but thicc calluses from when I would walk like crazy. I haven't been able to get rid of them for nothing, and it's been YEARS. Like, I probably need a professional for this shit lmao. My nails are fine and I keep them clean, it's just the callus ordeal. Is the snow where you live the icey kind or powdery kind? It can be either. Do you get blizzards where you live? I think we've only had one that qualified in my entire life. Can't remember if the wind was bad... What’s the coldest you can remember it ever being? With the wind chill, it was actually around 2 degrees, I think. When was the last time you did something rebellious? Um. Idk. What are your favorite things to create? OCs. What’s an old hobby that you want to pick back up? Reading. :/ Do you ever read books to a pet? No. Which has better craft supplies: Dollar Tree or Dollar General? I have zero clue. Which dollar store do you shop at the most? I think Dollar General? What color is your trash can in your bedroom? I don't have one in here. What was the theme of your childhood bedroom? Baby animals. What color was your nursery as a baby? Idr. What was the last surgery you had? A cyst removal. What’s something you prefer to keep private? Lol yeah, ask that on a survey I'mma share with the Internet. What is something cheesy your high school’s principal has said? Idr. I don't remember much of him other than he was a goddamn ass. Are you more of a rule breaker or rule follower? Depends, but typically, a follower. Are you good at prioritizing? Idk. Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? HALLOFUCKINWEEN If you’re not religious, were you ever? What made you lose faith? I was raised religious, but just life in general brought me to just theism, which I don't really consider a "real" religion. Is there a particular tradition that you follow from your heritage? No. What are your thoughts on where feminism is today? Yo calm your tits. How would you describe your aesthetic? Likes pastel and soft things but is also gore-crazed and obsessed with dark shit that'll probably lead me to Hell. Are you at all interested in philosophy/theory? If so, what philosopher/theorist caught your attention? If not, would you ever consider reading any? YES; however, as someone with OCD that heavily manifests itself as incredulous ruminations to the point I face breakdowns, I try to avoid philosophical debates. No one in specific has caught my attention, but I mean, I haven't exactly made an effort to learn about anyone. Have you ever played any virtual reality games? What was that like? If not, would you ever like to try? No, but I would LOVE to. Is there anything about technology that scares you? The potential it has to reaching some form of sentience the more and more we advance with it. I ain't about that singularity shit. What’s a song that you know that does a lot of wordplay or anything that you find clever? Shit dude, lots of Otep songs. She can make rhymes and such with the creepiest shit. Bring me back the Otep whose music wasn't just political ranting, please. What do you do before you go to bed? The last thing I usually do is DragonVale. Where did you last go out to eat? Hardee's. Do you have unlimited texting? Yeah. Who of the opposite sex has seen you at your worst? Jason or Girt. Girt came to the ER after my suicide attempt, my lowest of low points, while Jason saw me in absolute hysterics the night of the break-up when I said something suicidal so he came here briefly. I feel each was like... a different kind of "worst," if that makes sense. One was absolute, utter defeat, while the other was seeing a human absolutely shatter. Have you ever won anything from the radio? No. Will you keep your last name when you get married? No. What song are you listening to? Shane Dawson's "Fuck Up" is a Big Mood. Do you know anyone whose name starts with an X? Not that I know personally, I think. When was the last time you took a picture with your pet(s)? Roman like over a month ago, Venus a while before... I rarely take pictures including me because I'm ugly. Who’s your favorite Muppet? I don't know like, any. What’s your favorite monster? (can be Monsters Inc., horror films, stories, or myths, whatever) These are too many options man. I guess probably Pyramid Head. But I'm crazy for cryptids too man, I love me some Jersey Devil and Mothman shit. Have you ever seen a polar bear in person? At zoos. What’s your favorite thing to order from Taco Bell? If you heard me eating cinnabon delights in the next room, you'd have all reason to believe a porno was being filmed. What do you think of off-brand soda? I'm fine with them. Which do you like better – carpet or wood floor? I generally find wood prettier, but carpet is comfier. Getting down on and up off the wooden floor when exercising hurts, though. Buuut wood is also easier to clean... but also louder... why the fuck am I getting this deep into a question jeez idk basically. What embarrasses you the most in front of other people? Being a 23 y/o teenage fangirl lmao. Have you considered running for president? Hell no. If you had to choose one thing you were most passionate about, what would it be and why? Hm... there's a lot. I suppose ending poverty? Or environmental preservation, which I am already extremely passionate about, but I could actually take more action. Where is the most beautiful place on earth and why? I'd imagine the Grand Canyon. It's so vast and ancient and gives you an idea of just how small we truly are. Are ghosts real? Yes. Are aliens real? Probably. Do you know how to play dominoes? No. What food will you absolutely not, under any circumstances, eat? Anything from an endangered animal. Would you ever adopt a child? If I wanted kids, possibly. What is one thing you’re embarrassed to admit you want to try? *shrugs* Is there something you wish you had said sorry for but never did? I wish I'd told Jenna about the Joel thing. Have you been on your first date? If so, how did it go? Yeah, it was fine. Cute really, though unorthodox as he invited my mother along. It actually did make me less nervous tho. What woke you up this morning? My cat meowing his damn brains out. He does this loud, deep meow when he really wants something, and it woke me up. He does that some mornings, and I have no clue why. Your mood? Eh, nervous. I have a short VR class today, and I have to talk to the woman who handles my case, and I don't believe she'll be happy I haven't applied anywhere yet, even though it's been like, five days... I've been working on getting an Office certificate instead. Did you ever watch The Land Before Time when you were younger? I WAS IN LOVE. Do you check your texts right away when you receive them? Usually. What feeling do you have the most difficulty in expressing? Envy. How do you think you would handle yourself in a crisis situation? Have an absolute panic attack and die lmao. But it also depends on if anyone is in the situation with me. Like if someone I seriously loved was endangered, I have a feeling I'd rush to immediately help them. Does any particular season make you happier than others? Why/why not? Autumn. Beautiful and cool. In what circumstances do you feel most at peace? When I'm with Sara and we're both happy and laughing. :') What is the best thing about being a male/female? Female: It's more "socially acceptable" to show emotions. Male: Don't have to worry about menstruation cycles. Do you enjoy hugging people? Do you enjoy receiving hugs? Yeah. Do you think that luck has much to play in your life? No. I don't believe people have premeditated-by-nature good or bad luck. It's all random or related to your own choices. Do you think you are competitive? Do you really dislike losing? In only a few areas; no. What is a talent you wish you possessed? The ability to draw hyperrealistically. When was the last time you went to McDonald’s? It's been quite a while. Maybe around a month. Could you go a whole day without your computer? Definitely not willingly. Have you ever really liked someone to begin with, then changed your mind about them? Yeah, Juan. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone, for more than half an hour? What did you talk about? Most likely Colleen. It was a personal matter, so not saying. Has your ex fallen in love with anyone else, since the two of you broke up? I'm assuming Jason did with Ashley, maybe not. When was the last time you looked at your significant other/crush’s Facebook profile? Been a while. What was the last thing that one of your parents bought for you? Food for me. The last time you went to the hairdressers, what did you have done? A muuuch-needed trim.

Day 17: Saturday July 9th – Monday July 11th, 2022 [FINAL DAYS]

Breakfast: Coffee and toast / pizza pocket / cinnamon scroll Lunch: Margarita pizza and mimosas / chicken baguette Dinner: Cheesy chicken with potatoes and veg / lamb with potatoes and spicy veg

Steps: 12, 480

Andrew had booked an apartment close to the airport so wasn’t at our apartment for the last night. Amara had an early flight, so she left at 6am while Tim and I were still asleep. We’d settled up our Splitwise spending the night before and it was lovely to get $300 AUD back from Amara and $143 AUD back from Andrew for joining our accom. What a delight! I’d done most of my packing the night before, so had a long shower, 2 slices of toast and then it was 10am and time to checkout.

With luggage to drag behind us, there wasn’t much we could do, so we just walked to the nearest cafe and had a coffee. I called Dad while Tim played on his phone and then Jane joined us. While Jane had a coffee, Tim went off to try the last thing on his to do list - fermented shark. He ended up going back to the Dick Museum as we had seen it on the menu at the museum cafe but not many other places. When he came back he was chewing gum and said that fermented shark tasted like shit. He was glad to have tried it though.

We had 3 Airbus tickets booked for 12pm so waited at the bus stop at 11:50am. Hoards of people followed us, but they were getting on a day tour. At 12:15pm, our bus still hadn’t arrived and we were contemplating getting a taxi. The shuttle arrived at 12:25pm and we thought that was our ride to the airport, but instead it was a 3 minute drive to the bus depot where we got on a charter bus. The drive was 45 minutes and Tim slept most of the way. I deleted some of the seconds from my travel video and looked out the window.

When we arrived, the luggage check in was an absolute circus. We followed the TV list and then got sent back to whence we came. We lined up for 45 minutes in self-check in after printing luggage tags then cruised through security in 3 minutes. Jane then went to the business class lounge (lucky) while Tim and I sat at a restaurant and shared a pizza and mimosas.

We walked 20 minutes to the terminal and were still in line to get a bus to the plane at 4:07pm when our flight was meant to depart at 4:10pm. We waited another 15 minutes, then got on the bus and waited another 5 minutes for it to leave. We were lucky to have exit row seats on the flight and the seat next to me was empty. Two wins! I felt so drowsy on take off that I had a wee nap. I then spent the rest of the flight watching The Circle on my iPad.

We arrived at Heathrow at 8:45pm and were first off the flight. We had to walk through all of terminal 2 to go up an escalator then down another escalator so that we could get a 15 minute transfer bus to terminal 4. Hooley Dooley. There was a woman on our flight who was rushing to get her connecting flight to Israel and she ran to the security check where we arrived 5 mins later. We cruised through security and got to our gate to find out that our flight had been delayed by half an hour. We had nothing to do but sit down and wait.

We boarded at 10:30pm and when we scanned our boarding passes the machine flashed red. Our luggage wasn’t registered as being on the flight. The woman checked our luggage receipt and updated our details in hopes that they would be popped on board before take off. Once on the plane, we had a spare seat next to us again and a 1hr waiting time on the tarmac. Amara messaged us to say that she’d made it to Spain, but that Heathrow had lost her luggage. Zac messaged and said that he was stuck in London until the next flight to Melbourne on the 11th. What an absolute circus. I had cheesy chicken with potatoes and veggies for dinner and watched Turning Red. After that, I tried my best to sleep while we had such a luxurious amount of space.

Our transfer at Abu Dhabi was relatively painless - we got off the plane and onto the final one within 30 minutes. I checked on our bags and we were told that they were on the plane, which was a relief - I hoped it was true! We were seated in the back half of the plane where there was less leg room and way more children. One of them cracked it before we’d even taxi’d out which felt like an omen for the 12 hour flight. I surprisingly slept about 6-7 hours on the flight. I watched Moana & Encanto while eating. The meals were average, but the cinnamon scroll we got for breakfast before landing was delish.

We cruised through customs and duty free and had to wait about 30 mins for our luggage. It didn’t come out. The rest of our flight slowly cleared and we were left without our stuff. We went over to the service desk, reported our luggage missing (luckily we had taken photos of them) and were then told to wait 24 hours then call to follow up.

Then it was Uber to Tim’s, drove myself home and waited for Morgi to get home from Perth.

What a trip! Until next time X

A quick June recap

Just what’s happened so far, since so much has happened so far.

I went to Wisconsin on June 7-9. I was supposed to drive with Sydney but I ended up driving alone. I was frustrated about that but it ended up being totally for the best. I drove through Chicago without dying and felt so happy and excited but very tired too, and then I met Nicole Sydney and Anson for dinner with nicoles family at Texas Roadhouse. I ate cesar salad and bread and had a margarita for some reason. Nicoles grandpa paid. Anson drove back to the hotel with me and then played video games while I did my makeup and Sydney and Nicole went to the store. We got dressed and went to Paige’s house, then walked downtown into Madison from there. We went to a bar that was having a Latin dance night, learned to salsa dance, Ernky kept buying me vodka crans, I danced with two random boys one of which I did not enjoy and one which I enjoyed a lot, the girls rode the mechanical bull, I flirted with a girl and got her number, and then we left. Sydney Nicole Anson Paige and I walked downtown, then sat in front of the city hall building and talked until like 3:00am. We walked home and then drove back to the hotel and passed out. We got up the next day and went to get breakfast which turned into lunch which turned into dinner at a diner nearby and I ate a grilled cheese with tomato soup. It was cold and rainy out in spite of being June. We went back to the hotel and took a nap, then went to the lake to get ice cream with Paige. We went to nicoles moms volleyball game, embarrassed ourselves in various ways, and then went back to the hotel and played We’re Not Really Strangers with Paige. We watched Velocipastor and fell asleep. We got up the next day and cleaned and packed and listened to music then checked out of the hotel and went to nicoles grandparents house. Sydney Nicole and I took a walk in the neighborhood and sat at a gazebo where we saw a family of sandhill cranes. We said goodbye to Nicole and anson and drove home. I stopped at a weird Starbucks with all trans baristas and then took an extra hour to get home because I drove through back roads and it was a wonderfully easy trip that I thoroughly enjoyed. I spent the whole trip wanting to go home and then wanted to go back as soon as I got home.

June 11th was my birthday. My mom stayed in bed and Sydney and I picked up Panera and ate it in the park for a few minutes. I went to pick up my mom, who fought with me and then told me to get out and leave her alone, so I didn’t go to the concert with her. Instead I sat in the parking lot for an hour and cried, then took Michael’s trash out and talked with him for a while, then went home and talked with my dad. Carissa Seth Sydney alton Kyle Rachel and Audrey came over and we had a fire in my driveway and it was awkward but somewhat enjoyable. Rachel called alton Bebop and it stuck. Alton only wanted to hookup with Sydney. Everyone left, I went to bed. Everything was okay. I was anxious.

June 14th I went to a doctor’s appointment with my mom. My dad asked if I had decided yet whether I wanted to work as a bar tender. I told God I would go for it unless he stopped me. He stopped me. Jadon called me and offered me the position of Interim worship leader at Hopewell after he leaves. I have been excited and scared ever since. I feel guilty about that.

June 18th Rachel invited Sydney and Ricky and I to go to Middle Waves with her at the Foellinger. We saw my dad, Rachel and I got ice cream, we got friendship bracelets and painted our faces and made flower crowns, and then we saw Young The Giant and it was an awesome show. I met the sound guy for the band and he gave me their set list. I went home and then turned around and went to the new meijer to pick up a cookie cake for Father’s Day. A worker in the parking lot did a double take when he saw me, paused his conversation, smiled at me, and then continued talking. I got ready and went to bed. The next day I got up and went to church, then went home and napped, then went and picked up food, then dropped it off for my mom, then ate with my dad, then went back to my mom’s. I wasn’t home again for four days, but I sort of was. I’m still confused how I feel.

June 23rd I took Sylvia to the botanical gardens downtown. We saw butterflies, then walked around, then ate at the Landing. A waiter told me I looked underage. Sylvia and I went back to the house and spent time together playing music and talking and doing brackets until 3:00am. She went home and I got ready for bed happily. The next day I went to John’s house and spent time with him and his animals. We went to the pet store and the cemetery and I showed him Hopewell and we walked down by the river off of Tonkel and found a lovely place to sit and talk and wade in the river. He took me home and I went to my mom’s to spend time with her. The next day I went to the store and then went to Kyle and Rachel’s apartment for L’s hippy themed birthday party with John. Sydney Nikhil Audrey Nessa Princess Alton and several others were there. I got to meet Nikhil and he was so nice. I met Hunter. Hunter was gorgeous and flirted with me and gave me his number when I left. John watched, and we laughed about it on the drive home. I got up far too early today and did worship at Hopewell. We said goodbye to Jadon and Molly. Everything is happening so fast. I’ve been getting signs everywhere that signify change, and I feel blessed that God has been so faithful. I am going to take a nap and then go to youth group later. This week I have to train with Jadon. Next weekend is Sydney’s birthday weekend at the lake. Who knows where we’ll go next.

Dec. 24, 2021

not much happened...I woke up late as usual and was with my mom most of the time. she was so worried over yoongi having covid :< I don't like seeing her worry. I jokingly asked dad for a margarita and he actually gave me one. My parents don't know it wasn't my first drink,,it actually wasn't bad just not sweet enough. we had started watching black widow but stopped cause mom and I felt sleepy, but instead of napping we cooked dinner instead. mom and I cooked Thai food for dinner lol it was fun cooking with her, it didn't feel like a chore. it was so good I could've kept eating until I exploded. after dinner we opened presents 🎁. I got my sister a bts long sleeve but I couldn't find it (plus they opened it already so I didn't wrap it). I got my mom the same shirt but I will never forget her reaction. despite already knowing what she got her face just lit up like a child. she loved it so much that everytime I think about that memory it gives me a reason to live and work hard, so I can give my mom more memories like that :>. I got dad a kobe puzzle that forms a picture of him from when he was young and still #8. he doesn't show a lot of emotion all the time but I still think he loved it i mean he said it was cool lol. sometimes I forget that my parents are actual people sometimes and not just like characters in my life. recently I've been thinking and caring about my own life too much and never once considered that they too have aged the same amount of years as I am old. I want to spend more time with them but they're too tired all the time. i regret letting my depression take away the years in which my parents were more active and "trying to be in my life" I hate myself for pushing them away my one regret is probably for making my mom feel like a failed mother since she probably at one point felt like both of her daughters hated her...but anyways after our stupid fight and me crying over not wanting to play uno, we eventually played and it was really fun actually I'm writing this memory down because for years honestly I cannot remember how a single Christmas went and for once I actually want to remember this one. I dont know how or why my memory is so bad but I want to remember this one for the rest of my life

my gifts :)

weekend things + nana’s bday fiesta

Hi friends! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and that your Monday is off to a great start. I feel like I have so much catching up to do; I didn’t mean to disappear on Friday, but we had a little too much fun on Thursday night. If I’ve learned one thing over the past 10 years of blogging, it’s “Don’t sangria and blog.”

Thursday was nana’s birthday, so we had a family fiesta here at the house.

I made 3 pitchers of tequila sangria,

and we all brought different components of the meal. We brought various meats to grill (chicken drumsticks and steak), Kyle made mango guacamole

(he used a pepper that he blackened on the stovetop, along with all of the usual guacamole suspects, and it was the best guac I’ve ever tasted),

Uncle E made calabacitas,

I made Instant Pot Mexican rice, Sophie’s chopped salad, and ordered salsa + mini chimichangas from Calle Tepa,

and madre brought brought homemade beans, tortillas, and dessert.

If you saw my IG stories, you could see the ridiculous spread of food. No one leaves a family party without a food baby.

We were trying to brainstorm ideas for the fiesta and things that nana really likes. Kyle suggested mariachis, and we were all like DONE.

So around 7pm, a trio of mariachis surprised nana with “Las Mañanitas” and played in the backyard for about a half an hour. It was THE BEST THING EVER.

Nana loved it, and the kids all danced around in the backyard while the mariachis played.

The rest of the evening was spent chatting, drinking sangria (or strawberry margaritas), and then whacking a cactus-shaped piñata that I hung off the balcony.

(Liv helped fill the piñata during P’s nap… while eating two lollipops. Doing it right.)

I had a little too much fun yanking the piñata around to get them to miss it, my shoulder was super sore the next day. I told the Pilot my shoulder was killing me from yanking the piñata rope and he claimed it was the most Mexican thing I’ve ever said hahah.

The rest of the weekend was filled with fun events. We went to Uncle Eric’s on Friday night,

Saturday afternoon was spent with Grant and Katie filming 4 new videos for ya (!!), and Sunday, we went to church and the girls hung out and swam at my dad’s while madre, nana, and I went to see “Mamma Mia.”

You guys. It was SO GOOD. When it first started, I thought it would probably be cheesy/campy, but I was ready for it. The storyline was surprisingly good, I fought the dinosaur cry in the last third of the movie, and the music was fantastic. I’m a closet Abba fan – my music teacher in middle school loved Abba, so I have an odd amount of their songs in my repertoire – so I was singing along in my head the whole time. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a lighthearted movie.

Bonus points if they have jalapeño popcorn.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, watching the girls ride their power wheels in the backyard, swimming, spending time with the fam, eating crepes at the farmer’s market,

and making strategic Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases. (They were sold out of quite a few of my faves, so I keep lurking and some have miraculously popped back up on the site.)

This week, I’m going to start getting the girls’ stuff ready for school (WAHHH) and planning some adventures and road trips. I’m also finally figuring out my teaching schedule, so I’m looking forward to teaching some classes when the school year starts.

I hope you have a happy Monday!!

See ya in the morning with a new workout.

xoxo

This Was Not The Plan

Lord, we all know life doesn't go anything like we pictured. Real life is unexpected and random. Its one of the best and worst things we go through daily. Some days are amazing. Somedays are terrible. While most days fall in between. Today was on the lower side of the scale.

It wasn't an all together bad day, just busy. (I pulled an all dayer y’all. I didn't get my daily mom nap.) It started out great. I had lunch with my elementary kiddos. Was a great time, but an hour and a half on a school lunch table bench is tough on fat crippled people. Then I picked up one of my besties and her son. He had a doctor’s appt for a stomach virus. Then of course to the grocery store for meds, and food for dinner. Taco Tuesday on Wednesday.

Then on the way to take them home I get a text from my oldest. “My back hurts bad, and it burns when I pee.” Well crap. Let me call your doctor and see if I can get you in. I leave a message for the nurse. I get the call back, and they have a 3:30 appt. Well my elementary kids are already on the bus on the way home, so that won’t work. I ask about after 4pm, and they have a 4:10. I say okay that works. Then the bus is 10 minutes late, which puts me in the very end of the car rider line. So we pull into the doctor’s office at 4:25. Just a few minutes late. Thankfully they let us keep the appt. UTI test was negative, so ibuprofen and some rest should make everything good again.

At that point I realized I didn’t have chips for dinner, so back to the grocery store. Yay. Grabbed what we needed, and a few extras. Then I’m so glad I’m headed home. I can finally relax with my wine, and cook dinner. I check my phone and have a message from my sister. “I’m at the hospital, can you come get me?” Ugh really?!?! Being the soft hearted person I am, I go to pick her up, just to find her husband is there too. BRUH!!! Okay we’ll go back to my house. I’ll take them home in the morning, and pack a bunch of their stuff, and get it out of my house. Thankfully, they helped cook dinner. We sat down together and ate. It was nice. My plan to take them home first thing in the morning was foiled when I got a message from my dad wanting me at the hospital in the morning with him for his girlfriend’s surgery.

Meanwhile, my FRIEND (never ever more than that) comes by. He is one of those people who always have to be right, thinks its 1957 (I’ll explain.), has a huge unrequited crush on me, and has major health problems. What I mean by “thinks its 1957″ is he thinks it is okay for any adult to get on to any kid, women need men to take care of them, women in short shorts are “floozies”, and gays are gross. He thinks I am kidding or “giving him a hard time”, when I argue with him about any of that. Which is pretty much every time he comes over, because I totally disagree. He means well, and is a great help financially for what the kids need. Tonight he was in rare form. He said, “You’re not letting them move in are you?” (Meaning my sister and her husband.) Of course not. I do not need that crazy in my life, but it isn't any of his business what I do in my own house.

Originally I had planned on having a margarita in a mason jar while sitting on my porch, watching my Paparazzi jewelry sales lady ordering stuff I know I don’t need. I ended up taking two of my PRN anxiety pills, and blogging my emotions out. I will have that margarita tomorrow night, or the next. According to how life goes. We have to roll with whatever comes our way.

-Joni
