The week off is half over, and I'm feeling like a person again! There's lots to do and lots I've already done. Mostly recently, ducked over to the movies to see the Mission: Impossible franchise off into the sunset (WHIGHAM HIVE RISE UP), and while that live action Lilo & Stitch looks like the typical Disney infinite-money glitch dreck they will keep pumping out until standards improve, gosh it's nice to see a packed cinema again. We're so back!!!

Tomorrow will be for visiting my grandmother and then getting drunk enough that I won't be able to go out and commit arson if Hangman doesn't win the Double or Nothing main event. You know, typical weekend stuff!

Chill Sunday. Chilly, but chill. I'm less annoyed by everything than I was yesterday, possibly because it's dead quiet so I'm basically being paid for attendance. Twelve long hours of attendance. Gonna ask my mom if she'll pick me up on my lunch break and give me a ride downtown so I can get that package waiting for me; it had better be the cute wrestling merch, I can't think of any other package I'm expecting that I'd be willing to pay $25 in duty fees on. And I need to order movie tickets for tomorrow and also figure out what the hell I'm doing for my mom's birthday on Wednesday??? Ugh, the inexorable march of time kicks my ass a little bit harder every year.

17. Would You Consider Moving Overseas for a Job?

Are you kidding me? In a fucking heartbeat.

ETA: THE FUCKING POST OFFICE IS CLOSED TODAY BUT OPEN TOMORROW???? FUCK CANADA POST, ALL MY HOMIES HATE CANADA POST.

There's a work barbecue today, but it's all the way at the body shop, which is a good ten minute walk away, and it ends an hour before my lunch break, so I will probably not get any, which is annoying. Also, we were supposed to go to the movies tomorrow night, but now mom wants to do a double feature on Monday instead. These two extremely minor things are currently doing some sort of fusion dance in my head to make the next three days feel like an insurmountable obstacle that I'm just slamming headlong into and ugh. I need a new life.

Temperature was back below freezing this morning. I have busted out the cozy cardigan and hate everything. Except the cozy cardigan. And Elvis Costello, apparently!

Staring down the barrel of another eighty hours* in this big frigid building, but feeling okay about it. Sleepy, but okay. This too shall pass, and it'll hopefully be sunny on the other side.

In watching more movies this month, I have fallen behind on my TV shows, and Yellowjackets suddenly sucking hasn't helped matters any. Also it's Best of the Super Jr. season! There simply isn't enough time for it all!

It's beginning to seem like I will be spending my entire day thinking about pasta. That's not going to make the next nine hours any easier, but should make the eventual reward that much more triumphant.

*oh shit I need to ask if we're closed on Monday, actually
