>w> It's actually really good exercise I think, depending on what you're imitating. T-Rex is fun. Raptors are MOST fun. xD
Pteranodon is good for arms. :]
Stegosaurus is good for arm-leg synchronization.
And if you got something soft to crash your noggin into, Pachycephalosaurus is a good one for bipedal charging. x'D

Lol. Derpy and I can work out together!
Picturing me stalking around like a raptor and Derpy just charging into my ankles headfirst. XD

lol

But actually I really should workout again after work.

One niece has strep so the other is going to be here for who knows how long. She is a migraine by herself, and worse when her sister is here because she feels the need to assert dominance over her sister (older is five younger is two), which means a lot of yelling
Mom and dad are going to be away all Sunday
As you can imagine, I am not thrilled in the slightest to have to deal with that shitrag
I get headaches easily when the noise level keeps bouncing all over the place. Such as when kids are around. So, if you can't tell, I am beyond annoyed about this

I have 3 bags of coffee on order from 3 different places.

But I don't have a problem.


I can quit any time.



*twitches*

Derpy waddles over to your house and sits by the mailbox to wait for the deliveries to arrive.

You'll need a key and have to guess which number. But smell would probably help with that.

But I can share. A cupping session would be interesting, having never tried it before.

"Taste-test!" Derpy stops drawing something that looks suspiciously like a fake ID and claps in excitement

I have no idea whether or not to feel angry, tired, depressed, or cuddly.
e_e;??? Am I wasting time thinking?
Am I needing rest?
e_e Or should I be getting things done?
Should I get them done with fire?
o_o Should I set something on fire?
ouo Should I destroy the backyard??
=_= or should I just like, chill out?
>-> Maybe just leave the house for a while?
>n> Maybe visit the places I used to know?
._. Or just like, you know, bum out and write on my laptop?
*shrug*
<M<; I think my period is about to arrive...I feel like an angery tiger and also like I want ice cream. >H>;

Ugh, I may need to contact the post office about a package next Monday if it doesn't move this week. Giving it the rest of this week in case packages are being quarantined for some reason even though it supposedly got there on the 22nd. (Was sent via ups smartpost or surepost or whatever they call it, where it's sent most of the way through ups and then passed off to the post office for final delivery.)

Also, I've bought way too much stuff online in the last few weeks and I really should start keeping track of them so I know what's still out and what I need to keep up with for tracking...

And before the chorus of "you should also buy local, not online" rises up....yeah I should. But nowhere in town sells nail art stamping plates, bath bombs with dragon and fairy themed rings, Disney movies that aren't scratched all to hell at pretty low prices. The overnight oats, I probably could have diy'd, though some of the ingredients (like protein powder) are harder for me to buy just because of my work schedule and lack of car. And the coffee? I could have bought local except the one place in town that roasts their own beans...isn't that great. And store bought beans tend to be too stale/not fresh enough for me.

you got my PM, Kaderin?

in other shouty-into-the-void news - i have a telephone hearing about my unemployment on july 13th. thing is, i tried to ask if my part-time job was eligible, they told me to apply anyway. they included my full-time job. and i completely missed the part where they'd said when i get to the question "did i work?" to answer it "yes" and put in my gross pay. BUT - for 8 weeks, i didn't know that they really did include my full-time job, and when i answered "did i work?" - i took that to mean my part-time job. i DID get paid from my full-time job. i'll bet i'm going to have to pay back the money unemployment sent me... as well as that $600 per week the state sent me as well. *sigh*

I did, yeah. It's and incoming package giving me issues not outgoing.

yeah, i get that. so far, my incoming packages have all gotten to me. i think i'm still waiting for one more. it one of those where they spend forever printing your shirt, and then people on facebook start to post that it's a hoax and they take your money and you don't get the shirt.... and then my shirt arrives. LOL XD

Yeah....mine is a travel mug thingy. The original estimated arrival date for it was May 29th. When tracking still hadn't been updated around mid-June, I sent an email about it. Tracking finally updated with a new estimated delivery date of June 23rd. It's supposedly been "awaiting acceptance scan" at my post office since the 22nd.

The stickers I ordered with it arrived before May 29th at least. *shrug*

yikes, that's a little backlogged, yeah.

I figure if it doesn't move by the end of the week, I'll get hold of them again. XP

yeah, that makes sense.

Tracking seems to be really slow with updating in general.

I already got one of my coffees rather quickly, but I guess that's because they're local. Although, one was pre-ordered for mid-July and they already sent it which messes with how I space things out.

I hope your hearing gets things straightened out, trystan. That sounds like quite the mess, but I can see how easily it can happen.

thanks. i hope it goes well, I've never done this before

Am proud of myself. Have organized my online orders and have also contacted the company about my "constantly stuck in transit" order since in their last message when they updated and actually got the item shipped they had said if it hadn't arrived by the 24th to contact them.
Turns out I actually had 6 online orders. O.o
But one arrived yesterday, so only 5 now, though only 4 are in various states of shipping and 1 is a preorder so it won't ship until probably mid-July at the earliest.

*facepalm* How does this keep happening to me?!?

So....reported the missing/delayed package to the company I ordered from (because it was 6 days past the "if it hasn't arrived, please contact us" day...and they responded very kindly saying they were sorry for the delay and they were sending a replacement order.
Out of curiosity, I checked the tracking again. To find that the package is moving again. XP

Earlier in the year, a similar incident occurred with a nail polish order. It was supposedly delivered, but wasn't there, I contacted customer service about it being stolen, then after they sent a new order, the "stolen" package turned up.

that sounds all very frustrating, Kaderin :(

It's mostly just frustrating because I know that they'll take a loss on sending an item and I feel like a jerk for basically ending up with a free item.

But if the package (my new travel mug!) actually arrives tomorrow like it's supposed to, I'll see if they can cancel the replacement order. I'd have them cancel it tonight, but the shipping has been so hit or miss on it that there's a chance it still might not arrive.

It was supposed to arrive May 29th, but that estimated date was updated to June 3rd once the package finally shipped on May 28th. Then the package didn't move at all until June 20th, after I had sent an email about it and delivery date was then updated to be June 24th. It arrived at the post office "awaiting acceptance scan" on June 22nd. Where it sat, unmoving and apparently unscanned until today and delivery date was updated again to tomorrow.

yeah, that's just a little insane, too....

What kind of travel mug? I'm on the lookout for new ones.

It's just kind of a standard travel mug.

But for Ace/Aros.

Ah, the one I have now keeps drinks hot for too long. But a lot of the others seem too likely to leak.

O_O huh...out of nowhere.
I suddenly really miss Rockband and Guitar Hero...
<8'C <3 ...wow...those were uh...some good times. <x'{

Well, against all odds, mine actually arrived today. It's a stainless steel cup with a screw-on top with a rubberized seal in it. As a test, I put some water in it and then flipped it upside down and shook it around. And it holds just fine. Not sure about how it holds temperatures yet.
(For the record, while the one I linked and bought is ace/aro, redbubble offers a wide variety of artistic options and you can get probably anything on a travel mug.

I'll give them a look. I've seen the metal lined ones can alter flavor, but haven't tried it out.

Something not cool...coming across another scorpion. Not cool at all.

Probably not any worse than plastic ones. >.>

Awww....poor scorpion just wanted to say hi...

My brother is in Arizona now.
:/ He just left in the morning with his girlfriend, to take a little vacation I guess.
I hope he enjoys it. :] And he's safe.
<:/ I'll miss him since he's coming back on Monday but...
B] He also can't stop me from cleaning the room and conquering it. Heheheheh.

I also seem to have too many cheeses at one time. But it at least led to a new favorite, even though it's something I've seen pretty much everywhere for quite some time. I just never realized how different it was compared to other cheeses. Brown cheese or Gjetost, basically tastes like brown butter in cheese form. But the main downside is how sticky it is. Also am loving a goat’s milk based tomme.

he does know Arizona is one of those states where cases seems to have exploded, right? tell him to stay safe out there, but that he might want to self-isolate for two weeks when he gets back...

o_o yup. He's aware. <x] Though I'm sure he'll be alright if he's social distancing and washing his hands often. :T It's his frail tiny girlfriend I'm worried about. >.>; (says the frail tiny sister.)

it sounds like he'll be staying safe then. oh, and wearing a mask. :)

Yes! X] Masks are a must!

agreed! :)

Ugh. The worst thing about loom knitting is needing/strongly wanting a pattern for something, but it doesn't exist, so you have to either spend months to years testing and inventing a pattern or just give up and never make the cool thing.
XP

Why is there no fitted shrug pattern? Lots of loose, bulky ones, but nothing fitted.

i still haven't gotten to a commission and am nervous about getting to it because it's been at least a year by now. hell.

I waited in the drive-thru line at Raising Cane's for almost 30 minutes...the line was like 50 cars long...
.U. and I brought chicken fingers home for lunch. Yey!
