Oop there goes my alarm, time for my evening spiro & estradiol dose

So I left work early because of this enormous storm and it was the most fraught drive I've ever done. And I mean I made it back home okay, but now I'm day drinking with popcorn.

Also let me clarify because the question arose irl: the popcorn is not floating in the wine, they are separate.

Like can I use it to cast spells, I don't remember how these things even work

So this book I'm reading for book club is really interesting for the following irrelevant reason: as far as I can tell, there is, like, no ebook available at all, so I have to read a physical paper copy like a medieval witch or something.

I am an old lady who is desperate to go to bed at 9:30, but I still like to consider myself "cool" and "with it"

I played F-Zero for a while before it made me nostalgic and I started crying, somebody please send help.

I know I said that earlier about finding that action figure but I need a lot of help these days, thanks in advance

Ugh so Target unexpectedly had a bunch of these in stock so I made what was probably a bad impulse decision...

I have a big problem: I cannot for the life of me figure out where my action figure of Arwen Undómiel is. Everyone please send assistance at your earliest convenience, thank you

But the other thing that soothes me is this Chinese takeout and pink moscato

Literally everyone at work is convinced I'm in my early twenties and it always seems to BLOW THEIR MINDS when I tell them they're off by ten years.

It soothes me to think about that this evening, when the lady at the wine & spirits shop didn't card me...

I know I've mentioned this before, but years ago I attended a presentation at work on the SMART technique, where I was taught to make goals:

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Ra's al Ghul
Tyrannosaurus

Now somewhere in there I stopped paying attention but I forget where exactly and I don't care.

Okay so actually I'm waiting at the doctor's office to get my levels checked, because as of yesterday, I'm three months on HRT? And it's kind of a big deal?

Also I'm very tired.

Don't cry on the train, Emily, generally speaking for most of your life it's been very easy to just not suddenly cry on a train for no reason.

Typing this out and posting it is what kept me from crying! Hahaha we have fun, we have fun

Everything went great, we are going home but now I am very drunk, so I'm super into the conversation!

(to clarify again, I am drunk but not my parents who are driving)

I'm going to dinner to come out to my aunt and uncle tonight, so my parents (my uncle is mom's brother) are coming for support, but I made the biggest mistake of my life and decided to go over their place and carpool.

Between talking about presidential politics and how we need to prepare for the EMPs, I am now hunched over in the back seat listening to Green Day like a fifteen year old girl.

Podcasts and Blur aren't loud enough.

And then sometimes I have dreams I'm being chased by the cops and I hide behind a giant marble statue of Chelsea Manning and I wake up and say out loud, do I know too much about myself?

I don't even REMEMBER my friend's bad opinions about Pretzel Crisps while I'm eating an entire bag of Pretzel Crisps, that's how little his opinions about Pretzel Crisps matters to me!

That last one feels like a PRETTY BIG DEAL. I had a conversation with my other friend about it, and that reminded me that my #1 recurring nightmare is I get lost in a crowded public restroom that's huge and shaped a little funny
