Man I need a break. I really could stand to have an adultier adult come in and do the adulting for a week or so. It just feels like there's always something. I'm physically tired, mentally tired, and emotionally tired. But shit has to get done, so shit I will continue to do. I'm tired of there always being someplace I have to be. I'm so tired of appointments. The beginning of the year I was going to doctor appointments for myself. Now it's vet appointments for the dog and maintenance shit for my car. I need a haircut but I don't even want to make an appointment because I don't want to HAVE to be somewhere. I also want to go to the eye doctor soon, cuz I feel like my close vision is starting to go downhill, but again, don't want an appointment. Even the library classes that I like doing are starting to feel a little like a burden. I do still want to do them though. I just really wanted like, a month of no appointments, but it doesn't seem like that's possible. Even therapy like, most Mondays I've been like, wanting to have my therapy appointment but also don't want to do it as soon as I get home. I almost wish I could do therapy before work, cuz after work I want to be able to just relax. But considering I usually end up crying it's probably better not to do it before work lol. It's probably a good thing I did finally start therapy again before all this stuff started happening.

I burned frankincense incense in the apartment Wednesday to try to clear out the bad juujuu that felt like was around the building. When I got home from work Wednesday there were people talking to the police because apparently there'd been a couple of guys around who threatened them with a knife and spit on them? Then later that night a car crashed outside the building. Or possibly into the building, because one of the windows of the theater is broken. But we still can't figure out what happened. (The people inside the car seemed to be fine. They didn't even go in the ambulance that showed up). I don't know how much it really did, but the vibes did feel better after the incense was finished burning. Maybe I should do some more.

In new year's resolution updates - I did complete the fix-it pile last month, so that's good. And I'm almost done with the current rare breed wool that I've been working on. Honestly I probably could have finished it a couple of weeks ago, but I kinda forgot that it was ready to be plied already and then the times I remember I've either not had time or just been lazy. Hopefully this weekend I will finish it. I also need to make my mom's Mother's Day present still. I want to make her some silk flowers like the one we made at a library class. Hopefully I remember how to do it. Eep.

Well, I suppose I should go take Charlie out so we can all settle in for the night. Hopefully I'll have more fun/less complainy posts soon.

I woke up this morning feeling anxious. I dunno if it was my travel anxiety already kicking in for our trip, or just based on how everything seems to immediately be going downhill. As the day's gone on I've mostly just been feeling incredibly sad. I'd tried to ignore the alarmists before and immediately after the election because it just felt like making myself anxious for no reason. But I guess there was a reason. And can't ignore the things that have already happened within just 24 hours. I feel so sad because I can't understand how there's people happy about this. The only people who are going to benefit are rich, straight, white dudes. I'm pretty sure literally everyone else is going to suffer in at least some way. And I'm sad because I feel like I'm being pushed out of my home. We were already planning on trying to live in Japan part time in the future, but now it seems like something we HAVE to do, rather just want to. And it's going to be hard, and require sacrifices that I'm still not entirely convinced will be worth it. But how can we stay here all the time when progressively feel more and more unwelcome? But then part of me feels like that's what they want. They want anyone who's not with them out of the way. Is it better to stay and fight? I don't know. I hate this. I want to go home to a reality that unfortunately doesn't exist.

We also decided earlier today to cancel our trip because the only reason we were going was to enjoy some nice weather, and that wasn't going to happen. It would have been wasting money. Unfortunately we didn't cancel hotel soon enough to get full refund, but it'll still probably be cheaper overall to cancel than to go just to have nothing to do.
