Haven't done this one in a while, so!

Your pup has just ingested a large quantity of truth potion. Any questions asked of them they have to answer truthfully, whether they want to or not! There's absolutely no way around it.

Tag in your pup's name, and others will ask them questions. Nothing is off the table!

Two days in a row without the temperature ever once popping above -40 degrees is... wearing on me, but at least it's Friday, so I can finally get a decent night's sleep tonight. We successfully went out and picked a new set of living room furniture on Wednesday, and while that meant dropping another $1000, we ended up with even nicer stuff and the guy gave us a genuinely great deal on it and was very helpful throughout and I'm actually feeling cautiously optimistic about the whole thing again? Delivery is tomorrow afternoon (after all of the sleep), so hopefully it doesn't fall apart at the finish line again!

It's still night when I both get to work and leave it, but there are a few more hints of sunrise/sunset on the horizon with every day that passes. The end will come. Just gotta get there.

Theatre's still closed, though. Pretty sure now that I'm going to miss The Bone Temple entirely, and that that list of films is only going to grow. Bleak shit! I don't think I've ever hated living in this city more than I do this month!

At least I have plenty of wrestling to catch up on. I don't want that to be all I watch, but watching movies at home just upsets me right now, and I have inexplicably finished season 1 of Sailor Moon, so I may just hunker down in a little cave of obsessing over the graps for a while, until this bout of lowercase-d depression passes.

Okay, back to dealing with the absolute stupidest emails from car salesmen that you can possibly imagine for eight more hours, bye!

Bad mood. Bad day. So tired, even though I got to bed at a decent-ish time. I'm a little concerned that, after a little over half a year, I may have hit the wall where I cannot continue to exist on this schedule? Hopefully that's not true! So cold, and also I feel like shit because Mom went to all the trouble of bringing me a space heater and I turned her down because it was too big and I'm scared of tripping a breaker at work? Why did I do that! I should have at least tried it! I'm so miserable all of the time! Still weigh more than I ever have in my life and feel like walking garbage as a consequence. I need winter to be over. I need the theatre to open back up. I need to stop eating and shopping my stress away. I need a lot of things!!!

Hopefully tonight we'll at least be heading back to the furniture store to pick out some new options that can actually be successfully delivered this time around and that particular hassle can be put in the rearview by the weekend. It's going to be expensive, regardless.

I hope Evil Uno announces Mystery Wrestling dates soon; I need to know if they might factor into my vacation plans.

And we're back to work! Again! Some more! The holiday party was Fine, the food was decent and the band was decent and they put my name on a plaque and gave everyone fifty bucks for attending, so definitely worth it in the end, even if I would have rather stayed at home and watched lucha libre.

As one of the 29 employees silly enough to still be working here after ten years of the new owners, I have received a gift certificate for a dinner theatre in Edmonton, so now I have to decide if I use it when I'm down there for Dynamite in April anyway or plan another trip sometime this year to go see something other than One Night With Roy Orbison. Something to think on! I will need stuff to do when I'm down there because there's a full week between the Winnipeg and Edmonton shows, so.... I HAVE BOOKED MY DAYS OFF, IT'S TIME FOR THE PLANNING TO BEGIN IN EARNEST. Though it'll be another week before ROH/MLP tickets go on sale, and I should wait to lock those down before committing to travel and accommodations.

Current mood: cold.

Currently trying to motivate myself to get moving and get ready for the work holiday party tonight. I really don't actually want to go (weekends are so short as it is! I just want to get high and play video games!!), but I know everyone will be on my ass Monday if I don't, so. Free food is free food, I guess.

ROH and MLP announced a joint show in Windsor for the weekend before the Winnipeg Dynamite, so it's looking like my two weeks of vacation will be transitioning into two and a half weeks of vacation with even more hot cross-Canada train action to look forward to! I kinda want to wait for them to confirm where the AEW shows for the rest of March are gonna be before I book things, just to be on the safe side, but that might take a while. UGH, working Monday to Friday makes cool long vacations so much harder to take, I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

RIP Jay Briscoe, three years today. RIP David Lynch, one year yesterday. This damn birthday week, I swear!

Theatre is still closed. I lose more hope by the day. Thank god for wrestling, but I need more regular, short-term things to look forward to to survive! And getting dressed up to go to the casino and hang out with my co-workers sure as FUCK does not count.

Made it through the week so to celebrate, I am sharing a few things that make me happy right now:

How Lizzie is a such a cuddlebug
How Milo is such a good little friend without a single solitary thought in his head
How Partner takes such good care of us

So the new couch that we picked out on Boxing Day and have been eagerly awaiting for weeks... does not fit in our house. So we have to go pick out a new one after all that (eating the cost of the failed delivery in the process) and do this all over again, and in the meantime, we don't have a couch because we had already arranged to have the old one hauled out. The old one that was fucking massive, so I don't understand how the fuck this one can't possibly get through either of our doors, and work is stupid and frustrating (love 2 b bulldozed by a stupid bitch manager, also when porters tell me they'll do something and then immediately fuck off for three hours) and I'm still so fucking cold and I just want to cry.

Also, the wind was so crazy last night that it completely carried off one of our massive recycling bins, so that's just... gone. Throw all that in with the theatre STILL being closed, and this is shaping up to be pretty much the worst birthday week I've ever had? Dinner out Tuesday was nice, at least. Hopefully leftovers and Dynamite will let me forget about all this shit for a couple of hours tonight.

Ugh, I'm just so fucking discouraged about everything right now.

First of the year!

Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

What I Just Finished Reading
The Exploits of Arsene Lupin by Maurice LeBlanc. I did enjoy this, but moreso when I sat down and read a whole story in one go (it's a book of short stories). I think it's harder to remember what's going on when you read in bits and this one was particularly tricky because some of it was from Lupin's point of view, but the narrative didn't tell you that.

Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her by Daisy May Cooper. I only know Daisy May Cooper from Taskmaster, but this was 99p. It was interesting how her family were so poor at one point they'd basically pawned all their possessions.

The Grapples of Wrath by Alice Bell. This was the third in a series. I mostly enjoyed it, but it was about a murder/ghost within the world of wrestling, which I'm really not into at all.

What I'm Currently Reading
Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. Christmas is a good time to read this, and I fancied a re-read. The trouble with trying to pare down my unread books and buying 99p books on Kobo and borrowing library books is that it doesn't leave a lot of space for re-reading books I already own. So I decided it was time to do some re-reading. I have totally forgotten what happens in this one.

What I'm Reading Next
The Book Forger by Joseph Hone. This is a book I borrowed from my sister, purely because I saw it lying around in her house and thought it sounded interesting. But when she lent it to me she said it was hard going. And I noticed it has small text, so I did put it off. But I really need to get round to reading it so I can give it back.

Work is still very busy, but I'm 37 today, and that's pretty neat I guess!! I have some balloons and flowers, and I have eaten two pieces of work cake ahead of dinner out with the family tonight. I should figure out where I want to go!

Movie theatre still closed. Mental health still suffering about it. I hope they re-open in time to get The Bone Temple. And that that isn't one of those hopes I look back on in future months like 'lol you had no idea'.

New couch is getting delivered on Thursday, so hopefully the guy Mom talked to take away our old one shows up tomorrow, otherwise me and my brother will be chucking it into the snow-filled backyard like proper white trash.

Weather is insane. From -35 to 10 degrees in a couple of days. Everything in the streets is melting and freezing again overnight, it's a nearly unnavigable jagged hellscape of ice and slush out there. But at least it's warm I guess???
