Stunning 8K-resolution meditation app. In honor of the revolution, it's half-off at the Gap
Day 3 of some sleep issues. I feel like the Mounjaro is slowing down my digestive tract more than the Rybelsus did. I'm finding that I'm getting full quicker and also staying full longer, which means that if I ignore it and keep eating, I feel uncomfortable longer. I'm learning, but it's not easy to catch that full feeling before it tips over. Especially for dinner, when the ADHD meds have worn off, and I tend to be more checked out of how I'm feeling. Yay mild dissociation!
Today shall be another busy day, and afterwards, I shall make the halibut that hadn't quite defrosted last night. I'm still debating on seasoning.
This morning, I checked the countdown app, and it rudely informed me that the trip is in 2 weeeks, 2 days. WTF? How did it come up so fast! I know I've been obsessively checking the app and had watched that number dropping, but somehow 16 days sounds so soon. And now I'm wondering how I will get through the next two weeks until we can run away. I know I'm going to be losing my mind by Wednesday. That day of work is going to feel like it takes forever. I need to look at my big suitcase and see if there's anything that needs to be added or subtracted. I think subtracted is probably the case. I might have a few too many pairs of leggings and what not. And maybe I don't need as many dresses. I will think upon it. I apparently do not have to take an empty Sharps container for my fingerstick lancets and my Mounjaro needles, the cruise line will provide that, so that's aother corner of my luggage that will be open. We'll see what else I need to take. I think I need to put a couple of night gowns in the bag still. I'll figure it out soon. I think the jackets take up the most room, but they're also vital with Alaska's May weather. I need to get busy on making him food for the 12 days Yoda be in the boarding place. Not to mention for when he goes next week for 5 days.
Why yes, I am having one of many minor panic attacks this trip has caused. Why do you ask? It's starting to sink in that in just over 2 weeks, I'll be on my way to the airport to start an adventure I started planning over a year ago. After all the videos, and work, it's almost here.
I'm going to fly 2335 miles to the other side of the country, and then drive another 200 miles to Vancouver, and then another 1900 nautical miles. That's a lot of distance covered. And then back home to Baltimore. I can't wait, but I'm also nervous. Having trouble turning off the part of my anxiety that is telling me that something is going to go wrong, but I know that's just brain weasels.
It's going to be an amazing bucket list trip, and things are going to go well. All the little moving parts will work, and we'll be peeping the Pacific Ocean in no time. In another couple of days, we should have boarding passes that can be printed out. That'll be a definite milestone, and I will tuck them into my carryon to be doled out when we reach the cruise port. The BIL is not good with technology, and since I don't know what the port wifi is like, it seems better to have a hard copy just in case.
I know objectively that I am as prepared as I can be, and that if I left right now, I'd have everything except my nightgowns, but anxiety is gonna anxiety. Plus, I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself. I want things to go smoothly. I want my well organized plan to work exactly how I imagined.
In other news the Animate!Phillly convention just added a new guest--one of the voice actors from the Amaing Digital Circuis. This means that there's still hope that they add someone else Jess really wants to meet. I'm holding my breath for Michael Kovach who voices their favorite character, Jax. That would be awesome. A picture of Jess holding their Jax plushie with the dude who plays Jax.
I'm debating getting a picture with the person they just added. They play Ragatha, who is a stuffed Raggedy Ann style doll with a tendency towards anxiety and overthinking and people pleasing. "I don't like you, but I want you to like me, is that weird?" Just at me next time.
Today, I shall relax after work and throw on the Halibut and have a nice dinner. Still waffling about the seasoning. Do I do the one with a bit of spice, or go mild. I'll think on it.
I've been looking at the Marchen campaign, seeing what I need to have ready for our next game on 5/2. I've got the maps for the first few places they're going to be going to, so I think I'm covered for that. I do need to make some characters that they might meet in case they end up having combat, but aside from that, I think I'm good for at least the next session. Might need a couple of other things for our game on the boat, but that's still a whole 19 days away. And honestly, we might not even get to it. The whole setup for this game is roleplay heav, so things may take longer than expected. I'm excited to play D&D on a cruise ship. It should be awesome, as long as the wifi is up to the task. The first session went so well that I want it to continue to behave.
Okay, time for me to get myself in order for the day. Everyone have a fantastic Tuesday!
