Oh, I never never

bb!hockey is back in town and I'm so excited.

Yesterday met up with a friend from 2 jobs ago and did our 2-person book club check in, had lunch, and bought some cookies that I absolutely didn't need. But they were delicious, so it was all good. Last night met up with friend from one job ago (and also booster club) and checked out a spot for a party. Going to be too small, but will cater for us. One of the media interns for the team works there, and we want to support business that are also fans, so it will be nice. Restaurant was cute and food was good. Will have to go there again.

In my "going to try new restaurants" goal, I'm going to a place today called "Philly Ya Belly" because why not, right?

Back to school on Monday. I have to take 1/2 day on Thursday because I have a dentist appointment to do...something with my gums. I don't know. There's pulling? Hopefully it won't mean gum surgery, because that will be bad. Still, I would prefer my teeth to not fall out or whatever.

Car wasn't finished yesterday. When will I get it back? I don't know. It's terrible. Monday I have to call a zillion places and Wednesday we have an event for the booster club and, seriously, my schedule is crazycakes through mid-March. And then playoffs. Not complaining, but still. There's going to be a lot.

This weekend I have to help a coworker with an essay he's writing for school. I've read it and I'm not completely sure how to help him with it. Haven't really read or written this week. Or done much of anything. I will probably feel bad about that when I go back to work. Also will feel bad about fucking up my sleep schedule. I will blame Heated Rivalry/HR fanfiction for that. Because it's obviously not my own fault.

Ok. Must get ready for foods and hockeys. *mwah* (also I apologize all journal entries will be new TAI lyrics)(the new song does not have many lyrics. Lots of repetition. Still good. Oh, band.)

Windows down in the left hand lane.

Took my car in for service yesterday (it's a long saga that involves me wanting to sue people) and it's going to take 3-5 days to get the repairs done and $3000 more than I thought it would. I have my mom's car since she drove it down to my house so I could take her to the airport, but otherwise I'm stuck at home for the week - the reason I did it on mid-winter break). I mean, I could walk places, but it's cold and windy and potentially raining and/or snowy.

I'm thinking about looking into online classes of some sort. Obviously I can't have unstructured free time because it's bad for my brain. I did clean out our pantry and fridge yesterday as well as make taco chicken and rice. My mom brought me 2 dozen eggs when she left which was really too many as I already had 36, so I made egg salad too. I think I might have to do some baking. I'm trying to make six recipes that are new to me, but no one at home eats desserts and the husband is eating tofu (ugh) and the kidlet is eating either Hamburger Helper, orange chicken, or spaghettios (at least he's moved on from JUST spaghettios.) So making stuff while I'm not going to school to share seems pointless.

I have 11k words of my Heated Rivalry fic, but now I'm at a point where I hate it. It's kind of a retelling of the show from Ilya's POV and it feels derivative and boring. I don't think it IS, mind you. It's probably just my brain, but eh. We'll see what happens.

I'm not sure what today's plan is - possibly writing, possibly reading, possibly cleaning, possibly being a lump. So many choices.

In good news - TAI releases a new song tomorrow. Another month + for the whole album, but I've enjoyed 2005. I mentioned to Bill that the sound of it reminds me a lot of his solo stuff. We'll have to see if that keeps up. Also, 2005. Summer of like. Sigh.

Hello friends! I am on midwinter break, which means I have a week of trying to figure out something to do. I mean, I have things - puzzles, books, movies, etc. - but actually doing them seems to be the hard part. I have, like much of the universe, watched Heated Rivalry and fallen in love (except episode 3. It's just as blah as the book it's based on). I'm actually writing something, which I haven't done since 2021, so that's both cool and weird. I've been writing it longhand, but that means I have to type it up, so it's taking twice as long. It is helping with my "use three journals" goal for this year though.

I am taking my car in for service on Monday and I'm not sure how long it will take to do what it needs. I also found out on Thursday that someone slammed something into the rear passenger side. I can't quite figure out what given the placement, but whatever it was, it makes me mad.

I have decided that I'm not going to buy candy for myself this year. I will still eat candy, mind you, but only if other people buy it for me, because I'm a weirdo. That said, I really want some candy. I might bake bread to take my mind off sweets. We'll see.

I wish my life were more exciting so I had something to share with you. Alas, it is not. I don't even have hockey right now, because the team's on a road trip through central Canada, so I don't have any games to go to. WOE. Though starting in an hour I'll have the away games to watch, so that's something.

But now, bread.
