you're stronger than you know⁷

That might be it. I probably shouldn't be letting it run at normal speed and slow it down a bit.
Thanks~

Have you ever have the machine needle hit the pinned needles directly, causing either or both to snap? That's the main thing that scares me a bit when I use that many pins for anything that needed it.

Canada getting impacted by US shipping issues suuucks.

Bloodywood has so many catchy songs.

Anyone driving to Otakuthon or know anyone driving to Otakuthon?
Really wanted to send them a manga donation but am not able to go myself there (anytime soon at all), sadface.

Why does medical insurance provider not have dermatology as a service but they have naturopath??????

I /just/ caught up with the anime tonight and am sooo not ready for this season to end!! DX

A meme with top text reading "Is your backlog finally getting smaller?" The middle frame is an anime screenshot of a katana being pulled from its sheath, with the word "yes" visible. The final frame shows the katana more fully unsheathed, with "yes" becoming "yesterday i started more WIPs"

For my work's micro-ing system, you have to change the status when you go for lunch or whatever. A big bubble covers the screen saying "you're on a break!" and all I can think of is Friends.

So I only managed to take out 30ish places yesterday but then found out hubby pinned lots of new things on the map that's not on the list.
O....................................TL

Got the list of 200+ places to visit down to......170+. OTL Still need to finagle so many day plans. Doesn't even include the rando garden near Fujisan hubby wants to visit (and how to get there).

Another late bedtime yet again while doing trip planning and actually forgot today I needed to book train tickets at 2:15am and only remembered 2 minutes ago (I forgot to set an alarm). Thank goodness the train we were aiming for wasn't a popular one. Still managed to get the seats we wanted.

Work sent an email about how to update the wfh stuff a day after taxes were submitted. :')

Last year I learned that Iceland publishes an annual list of highest taxes paid. Their wealth flex is also a flex on giving back to the country and government and social services and I think about that a lot

Super advanced voting done! I can finally close the tab to the elections office on my browser.

My computer speakers of maybe 2 decades might have just died. D:

We're not here for advance poll dates either but hopefully an elections office will be opened soon nearby.

We're out of the country during election day. Really hope we can vote before we go. 😩

Was super bummed to just find out that the best fruit sandwich place (and amazing fruit parfaits) in Tokyo is now gone. At least they still have their original shops but not in a prefecture we'll be visiting.

AC keeps updating our return flight to leave earlier and earlier. One of the downsides to having chosen Narita to fly in/out of. But it was also 2k difference (EACH way) with Haneda so...

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Work's really going all-in on micro-ing their lowest paid workers.
The last time they forced this, they wasted a ton of money and it didn't even last 2 years (though they kept pushing it in that time). Now they want a repeat after 7 years.

I love seeing the clean lines in your clothes!

We didn't get our voting card yet but we still stopped by the advanced polling station today. It was so fast and easy.

Anyone else getting insomnia because it feels like there's not enough time to properly decompress and recover day after day after work ends, so you're staying up later to try and unwind so you dont just work and sleep, but now you're just getting more exhausted and each day is getting tougher.

Getting a lot of "why do I have to do my job?" replies for incorrect work these days because they've seen the lazy peeps always getting away with not doing their work. It's the problem when you have toothless supervisors.

Gold embroidery and couched chain on metallic green fabric

Gold embroidery and couched chain on metallic green fabric, in a knotwork design

Finished the embroidery for the main part of Loki's obi. This fabric is fancy enough that I probably didn't need to do all of this, but 🤷

There's a big change to one of our daily processes and the ones that updated it just chalked up peoples' frustration with it to "people don't like change".
Change is fine so long as the change isn't from "something's fine" to "this is now utter horseshit".

That's a great place for it! For both. XD

Pull up bar?
