Bought my first JSK from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and it arrived in the post today! I finally decided to take the plunge and buy some lolita pieces after admiring the fashion since I was a teen, lol. Made the mistake of showing my incredibly judgemental mother and she made a really snarky comment about it (colour me surprised), but I'm hoping to enjoy my purchase as soon as some other things arrive

Got off work late because I got stuck with a particularly nasty call this afternoon that involved our system randomly deciding to merge customer numbers??? I was hoping to catch up with the story for Where Winds Meet since I'm playing with my FFXIV friends, but I'm completely sapped of energy...

I got LTO for staying late, at least. I'm gonna go curl up in bed and play ACNH now :')

I was so busy last week... I spent 10 hours in a car travelling to and from a funeral, then went to a fireworks event in the countryside with my partner after. I passed out so early!! I'm hoping to sit down and do some more coding soon... Maybe it would be better if I talked about my life in long-form blogs again LOL

Finally watched House's Head and Wilson's Heart after putting it off for literal months. Cried a lot. Doctor Amber Volkais they could never make me hate you.

Finished a 88x31 button for the site. Thought about work without stress for the first time in a moment because I got a perfect QA score sent to me today. Had a nice talk with my TL. Life is good actually!

Work has been stressing me out, I worry I'm secretly doing a really shit job and people are too scared to tell me. Maybe it's just because I've basically been here five minutes though and I've never had an induction/training period that lasted more than a month or so. IDK. At least I had some interesting customer interactions today...

I was really worried I wasn't going to get along with my team leader, but I had a buddying session today with her and she's actually really cool. I really am that girl who is going to be okay.

The more I think about it, the less I managed to accomplish within this past year... I wanted to read roughly one book a month, but I kind of fell off around March since I got really depressed. Of course, Now that I have a job, I have even less time to do things... I can still manage to squeeze in twelve books total for this year though, if I really try...

Since I have this site now, I might post the reviews and thoughts I had about books I read earlier this year since I typed them up in a document a while ago. It'd be nice to have a place to compile my thoughts about books somewhere...

Daylight savings robbed me of another hour of sleep... tons of blisters from new shoes since they're in the process of being broken in... took a lot of phone calls... have to make biscuits for a shared lunch tomorrow... having big girl money is so nice though, so I can't complain~

Katsuragi Ace's solo song was announced to be on the next Umamusume CD release, I'm soooo looking forward to it... I was just thinking yesterday about how I wanted her to have one, lol

The way a weekend feels when you're unemployed vs when you have a job is completely different, huh...
