Like The Tomato

So today was actually really boring at work. Why? No shit – a day before the holiday, yeah, I would be surprised if we were busy at all. The only thing that annoyed me today was the fact that I was in 2-hour meeting with IT to troubleshoot our print server. Why was I annoyed you ask? It’s not my job. We have an IT specialist for this and I do not understand why I got roped into this bullshit. Anyway, aside from that wasted time, the day was pretty smooth sailing.

I went to the store after work because why not? Just got some steaks, stuffing, soda, and other little grocery things. But really more for dinner tomorrow. I am not about holidays but I do tend to at least splurge on some steaks for dinner on those bigger holidays. I believe that having some steaks once in while is fine.

After that, went home and just did all my regular stuff – feed the dogs, eat dinner, watch some anime. I just embraced laziness today. From work to home. I just decided to be a potato. I mean why not. I’m already barely doing anything on a daily, I just needed to lessen it to below the minimum.

Anyway, we watched six episodes of Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist. That anime is just something. That chick Anna is crazy. That’s the only way to describe her. Depraved is another one, but that is just not an excuse for the actions she does on Okuma. I think that is the only thing that makes me squirm from discomfort with this anime. I guess that character could be classified as a yandere. She makes me so uncomfortable. However, the subject matter really does not. The anime is enjoyable. I definitely had some good laughs. And I learned another way so high-five. Yeah, definitely enjoying the dubbed version for this anime.

But since I am off tomorrow. I am planning to stay up a little later than I normally do. What the hell do I plan to do? I need to read tonight. Yes, need. I have not been reading at all lately – by that I mean a book. Sure granted I have been reading webtoons, and I should really count it as reading time, it’s just not trackable. I guess I just need to figure out how to track it. I could track how long I read in a day instead of pages. But I don’t know.

So what was my main issue today at work? I was so sleepy! I mean really really really sleepy. The whole day I was struggling. I stood up just to get some work done, but I went back to sitting since I wanted to be comfortable. I decided to just embrace the sleepiness. So that was me the whole day at work. I work for 10 minutes. Then I play a water connect game for 10 minutes. Then work again for 10. You get it. For the most part, work was chill, not surprised though technically a lot of places are taking a break. Most people are too.

Anyway, I went home and did chores. The regular stuff you know – wash dishes, feed the dogs, cook food. And also I bought some arm warmers. Yeah arm sleeves. Since I do not like wearing sweaters at work all the time, I am going to try this to see if it will work. 

Chris and I watched four episodes of Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist. Well, this was not hte first time I watched this anime. So for the most part I know what to expect going into it. We decided to watch it dubbed. I personally want to see how well the dub version is since I did enjoy the sub. And of course, sometimes, I’m just lazy and do not want to read subtitles. The dub version was actually not bad. But one thing that I was expecting was that the version on Crunchyroll is the mature version of the anime. So there was a scene on episode 4 that surprised us. If you know, you know. The anime is just a good laugh. 

My skin gone haywire earlier. Welts everywhere. I was so itchy. Arms, legs, back, neck, scalp, and butt cheeks. Red welts. I doused myself in hydrocortisone. Applying it to my skin like I’m applying lotion. And then drank allergy pills. I took a cold shower – cold shower during this cold ass weather. I hated it but my skin definitely appreciated the cold temperature against it. 

I am planning on reading a bit today. Granted, I have some BL webtoon series I need to catch up on, but I am planning no actually reading a book. It really is about time for me to actually pick one up and finish it. Since the novelty of BL webtoons has worn off, I think I am able to focus on an actual book now.

I do not know what it is but I have been feeling sick all the time. Headaches. Exhaustion. But the sucky thing is out of this week, I took the sleep aide pills and it did not work as well as the first time. The first time, I was out within 30 minutes of taking the pill. The last two times…I think it took almost two hours. I need to see if it is safe to take two pills at a time instead of one. We’ll see. I am always scared of being dependent on such things. Anyway, I am saying this since yesterday I was also feeling off. I do not know what to make of it.

I am also feeling irritable. Really irritable. Even the littlest things. I am not going to make an example. Let’s just say, Paco knocking over a remote to the floor is an example. I am not a fan of a very irritable Roma. I cannot stand her. 

What have I been doing today? Well, like any other weekend, today is a day for chores. Went to Costco to get some dog pads. And I lazied around for hours before I actually stood up to do the things I do on the weekend. The laundry is already in the dryer at this time, rice is cooking, dishes are in the dishwasher, the kitchen counter is cleared and disinfected, and the kitchen floor is swept and mopped. Yeah, I mean I did a lot in two hours. I cannot complain since I was lazy the whole day. I did all this begrudgingly. I shall do it again next week. On another section of the apartment.

Waiting on my hun if we are hanging out today. I feel like we are since he has work tomorrow. But for now, I am reading some BL webtoons and I do have Darling Girl right next to me. Just in case I want to pick it up while I wait for my love.

What can I say, I am the queen of inconsistency. I skipped another day of posting. Why is that?

I took a sleeping pill last night. I had a horrible Tuesday night. I was tossing and turning in bed and did not get a good enough sleep. I finally dozed off at 2 AM on Wednesday morning only to wake up four hours later. That four hours of sleep was also interrupted. For no reason whatsoever, I kept on waking up. So yeah. I was pretty much having issues the whole day yesterday. Exhausted. Headache. Heavy head. Brain not functioning sharply. Yeah. So I decided to just take a sleeping pill last night to help me sleep. 

How was it? I was knocked out. Took the sleeping pill at around 7:30 PM and was asleep by 8. I cannot complain. I was sleeping until 6 AM this morning. And the only reason that I woke up was that my body was in desperate need to use the bathroom. So that was about 9 hours of sleep. I have not slept that long in months, maybe a year or so. I did not wake up with a feeling of hangover. But then again, I slept so long.

Work was pretty smooth sailing today. All of the documents that I needed to update are done. I just need to send them to the quality team to get them authorized. I was able to breathe at work and for once I was relaxed. I cannot say I had full energy – but then again, I was not one to have a lot of energy, to begin with. But I was awake, I was not annoyed, and I was okay. And I was fine with that.

What did I do when I got home? Well, just regular stuff. Washed dishes. Made some ramen and watched Moriarty the Patriot. Did I ever say that this anime is good? Because it is. And I only have two episodes left and I am not happy that I am about to finish season 1 without any season 2 to look forward to. I am now heavily debating buying the manga and continuing on that way. I mean why not. If I like it so much why not actually invest in it? And yes, this anime is not at all a yaoi or boys love anime. But by god, being a fujoshi, yes I see it. I do not think I need to say who I ship in this anime. 

My coworkers are planning to get some pizza for lunch tomorrow. And I am not sure if I want to go or not. I am not a fan of impromptu things. We shall see what my mood is tomorrow. I mean granted there are things that I’m impulsive about but socializing is not one of them. I need to be mentally prepared for that.

Work was meh again. But at least I was able to finally clear some stuff on my task list. Which I consider as productive. 

Anyway, I didn’t get to hang out with my hun today. He was not feeling well. Which sucks. But I need him to get some rest. He said he was not feeling well this morning. Actually, it started last night. I ended up just watching anime with Chris. 

We are currently watching Moriarty the Patriot. This anime is just all kinds of goodness. Basically, it focuses on William James Moriarty, along with his brothers – Albert and Louis, and his journey to destroy the class system in British Empire. Of course, Sherlock Holmes and James Watson are also present. Makes sense, Holmes is the archnemesis of Moriarty. It has mystery, it has action, it has funny moments, and swoon-worthy men – I mean art. Art is what I meant. I need to buy the manga now since Season 2 for this anime has not been announced yet.

Anyway, planning on reading some BL again tonight. Cause I mean, why not?
