1. Inching close to The Rebrand. I have a few more pages left. If I finish by next week, the only thing I have left are to draw assets.

2. I've decided to stop dieting the way I do. My method of "trying to lose weight" was "calorie counting and eating less" which... isn't working out. My impulse control has improved by drinking inositol this year and it helped me go down 3 pant sizes and 1-2 shirt sizes, but I'm lowkey starving myself by not eating much. It's impacted my brain functions, when I have "low calorie/food" days I have a hard time thinking and doing what I need. So I'm not going to obsess over eating under 1500 calories, just being a bit better. I bought tomatos, eggs, and avocados, and I had a really good breakfast days ago by having that on a rice cracker.

3. I've been addicted to Monster energy. I quit in September because it fucked up my teeth, but went back last month because I worked so many hours before Sonic Expo. Sometimes I really need at least one to get through my shifts. Now I'm trying to cut back again, because out of my two vices, I spend more money on Monster than Littlest Pet Shop toys. My work lets employees have free Red Bulls in the back, so I was drinking those. The issue is, people drank all the regular Red Bulls... and the zero flavor is disgusting, as is the juneberry. So if we don't get normal Red Bulls again tomorrow I may drink ONE Monster a day. Ugh.

Hopefully I will get that bad tooth in the back removed next year... I just don't have time I find a dentist with my work insurance, and then get an appointment on a day off.

4. I'm also cutting down on sleep aides. I'm still taking them, but I realized 5mg of melatonin and 25mg of Diphenhydramine is actually better than 5.5mg and 50mg. I've had trouble getting out of bed or waking up at night on higher doses, so I'll continue this smaller dose on work nights.

5. Speaking of Littlest Pet Shops, my work has holiday-themed blind bags. I got 3 out of 4 so far. Unfortunately, I got a dupe of the rabbit, so I might double check the codes to get the deer. I got the tiger yesterday, and I like it enough to keep as-is instead of modding. Same with the rabbit. I like the deer too and really want it. The penguin on the other hand goes in my "to trade at conventions" bag, lol.

6. My Bluesky domain stopped working last week and the site I got it on, handles.club, is down. It was inevitable, honestly. Giving out people free domains isn't going to last long when meme ones like .pizza, .wine, .voda, .men, etc. are expensive to renew. So I am not getting my .pizza meme domain back because it's very expensive. I might buy a domain after I rebrand, I just don't know which. I figured something like .xyz.

7. My time off request on the 23rd was rejected, so I'm working for the next few days. I REALLY hate last minute shoppers. I almost had a panic attack on the day before Thanksgiving due to complete idiots shopping last minute. The kicker is EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT!!! For the love of god, stay home on the 23rd. Don't order online. Leave me alone!
