torachan: charlotte from bad machinery saying "oh the mysteries of the moth farm" (oh the mysteries of the moth farm)
[personal profile] torachan
1. All week I have consistently felt like it was one day further into the week than it was, and not for any reason I can pinpoint (like there wasn't anything that was on a different day than it usually is or anything), so there were a couple times today when I was like, glad it's Friday and then realized there was still another Friday, but now tomorrow is actually Friday for real and then the weekend! And in two weeks from today I will be on a plane to Japan!

2. It was so hot today I could barely take a half mile walk today at lunch, but I did stop and get a delicious teriyaki beef sandwich and freshly made lilikoi malasada while I was out.

3. Chloe really loves relaxing on Carla's bed, especially on the top half. She's got this nice window there, too.

Had one of my rare crash nights wherein the sleep deprivation finally takes over and I'm able to fall asleep at a decent time and get a proper eight hours in before work. The mornings still suck, though. Work still got my head spinning, we're so far behind on everything, but sold units keep jumping the queue so the old stuff just keeps getting older forever? I need more techs, but so many of them are BAD.

Less than a week to vacation. I need to confirm my flights and hotels, I'm missing a whole bunch of email confirmations. :\

24. Do You Want to Live to 100?

200 or bust.

Today's lunchtime joshi match is DASH Chisako vs. Momo Watanabe in what looks to be a random Sendai Girls Korakuen Hall show? Hardcore match Momo!!!

Current mood: hungry. Less than two hours to home, and we've finally made it back up to 0 degrees outside. Fallout with supper tonight.

1. I've been making the rounds to all the SoCal stores to discuss our upcoming system transition and get a better feel for some of the stores' current processes, particularly for their accounting department, and today I went down to San Diego. Long day of driving, which sucks, but it was nice to see the store again after a long while, and I did make a lot of progress on my current audiobook!

2. Tomorrow I have a lot of meetings, but the first one isn't until 11, so I'm going to take my time in the morning to make up for how long today felt (I didn't even get home until after seven, and I left around 8:30 this morning).

3. Carla and I are not fans of the warm weather, but the cats sure love having the front windows open.

I have spent two days having no goddamn clue what day it is?? I sent in all my weekly numbers yesterday like an idiot, was all ready to go for my Thursday meeting today at 10:30 on the dot, actively confused at several points throughout, just... why??? I think I'm slipping prematurely into vacation mode, gotta get my head back in the game.

Torn between perogies and Wok Box tonight. Both sound delicious, but one is much easier, but also I need to save money because trip. An episode of Wonder Man with whichever I decide, I think.

Stayed up toooooo laaaaaate last night reading Pet Sematary, because at the end of the day, we all just want to feel twelve again, don't we?

23. What Old, Worn Out Thing Can You Just Not Part With?

There are a lot of jokes I could make here, but the real answer is my little stuffed tiger from when I was a kid. I took him everywhere, and he is ragged and covered in blue ink from a pen exploding in my backpack in grade one and stuffed super full because I had loved him pretty flat until Matante Louisa redid him for me at one of my many visits to her cool old house just across from the Olympic ski jump venue where she had a spiral staircase and a basement full of fabric scraps to play with and a clock that opened up every hour and little Dutch children would spin around inside and now he sits on the shelves above my bed with my (much newer) plush wrestler dolls.

Today's lunchtime joshi match is Mayu Iwatani, Mika Iwata & Mio Momono vs. Takumi Iroha, Miyuki Takase & Utami Hayashishita from last week's NOAH Universe Magic 2026. An all-star affair featuring wrestlers from like three different promotions that really drove home how I need to work harder to get my money's worth out of my Wrestle Universe subscription, because goddamn this is good stuff. I miss Utami!!!

torachan: scott pilgrim pouting (scott pilgrim - pout)
[personal profile] torachan
1. Yesterday morning when I got back from my walk, I somehow lost the top to my airpods' outer case. It had to have fallen out either on the porch or inside the house, because it's very noticeable without it so it could only have been right after I put them back in my pocket after putting them in the case. I looked around a little but had to go to work, and Carla looked some more during the day and didn't find it, so I ordered a new case, which came today and I really love it. For one thing, the top is attached! I really like the variety of colors, so I ordered another one for my backup pair, and for Carla's ones as well. Right after that, Carla found the top to the old case in the living room in a tangle of power cords lol. But these new ones are cheap and I really do prefer the attached top. The one I thought I lost was a Star Wars Pride one from Disneyland, so I'll still use it seasonally (I also have a Mickey Halloween one).

2. I got my haircut today. Carla had an appointment, too, so it took longer than when it's just me and I didn't feel like going to Gardena just for a little bit in the afternoon, so I just worked from home the rest of the day. It was just web meetings in the afternoon anyway.

3. This morning when I got up, my PC would not turn on. The power cord is one of those that has a light showing when it's plugged in, so I could tell it was still getting power and that wasn't the problem. I thought maybe it was stuck in an update or something, so I went for my walk, but when I came back it still wouldn't turn on. I decided to unplug it from the power strip while I ate breakfast and then it finally came back on again! I really should do a backup of my files just in case...

4. Few things are cuter than cats covering their face coyly.

Watched the Oscars! They were fun, though not nearly as exciting as Revolution was, so I made the right call on Sunday! Also Mom quit her job and I'm stressed about it, but not nearly as stressed as I am about my own job and how bad my numbers are because I only have one useless tech at the moment, but not stressed enough about either of those things to dampen my excitement about my upcoming vacation, now just over a week away! Though I'm also stressed about that, because travel! I sense an episode of Heated Rivalry and some Sailor Moon in my immediate future. Hopefully I remember to pay my credit card bills.

1. The other day I got an email from Shake Shack that they have a promo buy one get one free for their Korean menu items and it's expiring today, so we went down there tonight for dinner. Not sure how much longer they will have those on the menu (the person I asked last time said probably until April) but we at least got to try them one more time.

2. We wanted to stop by Sidecar Donuts for dessert afterwards, but as it turned out they close at seven on weekdays, so we missed out. But Carla was really in the mood for donuts, so we stopped at DK's on the way home and they are open 24/7, so we were able to get some donuts after all.

3. I had a last minute meeting pop today for 5:30pm, but thankfully I was able to finish my other meetings, which had to be done in person at the office, by like 3:30 and then get home to take the later meeting by web (which was with people outside our company and would have been by web anyway even if I'd been at the office). It ended up going over an hour, so I would have hated to be stuck at work until almost seven and then still have a half hour drive home.

4. It's exhausting work being a kitty!

AEW's last PPV before the next one that I will be attending was last night, and it was a good 'un! I'm still mad that I had to miss the Oscars just to watch it, but I certainly do not regret doing so. At least four solid MotY contenders in the mix, though none of them were surprises in that respect. TO THE CUT!!!

Today's lunchtime joshi match was Syuri vs. Suzu Suzuki from the 2023 5β˜…STAR Grand Prix. Hell yeah. That is all.

While he was quite surprised to walk out for his morning on-leash ablutions into heavy snow above his knees, he's really starting to relax.

This morning I reached down to stroke his back and he didn't flinch.

Just now I was resting on the floor by his bed, petting his back. I started to scritch the scruff of his neck, and he relaxed even more, his dark eyes shining up at MyGuy behind the camera. (I'm reclining on my tripled-up exercise pad just behind him, shockingly without glasses.)

I was fretting that I'd permanently broken my iPod (it disconnected without being ejected, which meant the music on it wasn't accessible and iTunes didn't see it), but this method worked for me!
