I got a sore throat late last night. I had just made 2nd date plans for Sunday on yesterday afternoon. Plus today I have 3 internship interviews and tickets to a show. Really not a great day to feel terrible.

Hopefully it passes!

Hi! You have such a majestic beast! Wow. I love black cats and i always wanted one. But CDS seems to send me different colour ones.

Today was oddly satisfying. I had a lot of work and i was productive. Those days give me a lot of energy. I went to the gym. People were throwing their weights and the music was too loud. Luckily I had my earplugs with me, so i was able to workout without feeling too overwhelmed. I think deadlift is slowly becoming my favourite exercise. And yay weekend!

Woke last night (again) choking on reflux. Pretty sure I'm going to need a procedure / surgery to fix my esophagus. It sucks double because spicy food was my favorite, but now those things are likely killing me which means they're off menu indefinitely.

A positive is getting into cosplay. There are two characters I'm working on now, and it's a brand new hobby, so it's both exciting and scary.

Aw I feel you. I love spicy food but it hates me. I have never tried chilli crisp because I'm so scared what it would do to me.
