jiu jitsu all day

friends got a kitten and named her MORTADELLA

went to see immersive phantom of the opera with max and got to meet so many amazing people whose fic i have been salivating over for literally like nine years now and they were all so nice funny smart gorgeous amazing that i'm still like Did that happen???? was this real???? is that allowed?????

DID miss the second show we were gonna see very tragically but we are going back to nyc to rebuild and recover because we are beyond help. now IS this a smart life decision considering i make minimum wage? no! not at all! very much not at all!

but with the upcoming 40 cent increase to minwage i will be basically making the same hourly wage i did when i started animation. now it's a fraction of the hours so there's still a problem. and my rent is twice what it was then so it's less than ideal. but last time we waited responsibly to see the phantom of the opera we waited so long in fact that there was time for a global pandemic and the show closed on broadway and the industry we work in received a blunt force injury and i had to spend all that responsibly-saved money on like rent and bills for several years?

so would retirement even be worth it if i didn't have memories of the Live Bed Event in MASQUERADE NYC. no. there are pros and cons

also like a month ago at work in one of the houseplants there was a BROWN ANOLE and it was a whole saga but now we have custody of it. creature:
