I FINALLY WENT TO THE SEA FOR ONE (1) DAY and I loved it 🐚🌊

Short trip with a couple of friends and my crush, spent swimming and laughing so it totally worthed it ⛱

(Please don’t re/blog thx)

I worked 10hrs in 3 days being on call for work (among other things), but I fudged it a bit and didn’t come into the office when I didn’t have to since I live close enough to the office that it shouldn’t matter.

Started playing Chopped with some of my leftovers to mixed success. I want to start just making stuff up as I go instead of following recipes, because I already change recipes when I use them, and I think that’s going to help me get better at cooking more effectively.

Some of my wonderful friends graduated college! And I got to have lunch with @alyss-cant-sleep and her family (and @hallasurvivor and @thimblelina) and it was very nice.

This dude straight up yelled at me on the street and it was terrifying but my lovely support network of @nurturesaplings, @hallasurvivor, @jewcoded and others who don’t have tumblr really made that easier.

Had a four hour phone call with @jewcoded which was really lovely and I hope we meet up in person one day, but for now phone calls are a really great alternative.

I’m the Keeper for a Monster of the Week campaign and already planned out my first mystery. Super excited to see what awesome characters my friends come up with and really really ready to get started.

Started listening to Dissect S2 because I love Kanye’s music and I really like it! Definitely recommend if you like rap/hip-hop or writing or music analysis in general.

It took over 6hrs for me to move out of my apartment into my summer sublet but @hallasurvivor helped me move out and we got to hang out for a long time and then order IHOP at 1am and that was a lot of fun.

Flew home on Wednesday and I’m more at ease than I’ve ever been at home. I don’t like my hometown but my family is leaving the state Friday-Monday for memorial day which definitely makes me feel better. Also, my youngest sister took my childhood bedroom and completely redid it, which helped me more than I could’ve anticipated. Having the walls repainted and the place being completely changed really helped me feel like I can be my truest self at home without the past looming over me.

My university’s disability resources emailed me back letting me know that I can start the paperwork for my emotional support animal, which means I’m almost certainly adopting a cat! I’m finally in a financial place where I feel comfortable getting a cat (because now I know I can take care of it properly) and I’m beyond excited. I’ll most likely be adopting it mid-August, so look out for those cat pics.

Finished Half Empty which was SO GOOD and I want to keep up this streak of finishing books since I haven’t been doing that for a while. But seriously I haven’t read a book in years that forced me to pause and digest after each section and this one did and it was such a good feeling.

Saw my grandparents and my Saftah while I was home which was a good experience and an emotional experience which tbh I don’t want to get into publicly.

SAW RUBY THE PIGLET AKA MY BEST FRIEND AGAIN AND SHE CAME OVER AND LICKED MY SHOE AND THE ROLLED OVER SO I COULD RUB HER BELLY AND I LOVE HER.

Flew back to Pittsburgh yesterday and moved into my summer sublet and I’m very excited to have more time to cook and I’m so READY for all of the farmer’s markets that pop up during the summer.
