Blast Off [Tuffin]

[Tuffin]

You can take all of my snow, anytime i get it
do not want it

==========

blah
been very tired but okayish
pink concert was a fantastic show (despite sister being an utter miser)
in fact, trying to not fight with her/ignore her stressed me out so bad i got physically ill when i got home
so, let ma know that if she wants to see shows with her i wont be going anymore
just getting too old to be around people that stress me out that bad
show was great tho! she still did her flying acrobatics over the crowd, which was a sight to see when its not in an arena and instead an old ass baseball stadium
in about 24 hours ill be off in north jersey for another stadium show, this time its BlackPink!
Might be the last time I see them, as the show quality seems to be going downhill while the prices go uphill
Sure I will have a fun time though!
AND this time its in the stadium right off the main drag, no need to take the damn bridge into downtown newark like the last few times
Should save me about 45m-1h of traffic sitting drive time

[Tuffin]

Show was fun!
It rained hard but they still performed in it and it was super fun!
Glad I went to see them again.
Still unsure if I will ever again for many reasons, but still enjoyed this one quite a bit.
Just went to a local theater for Rocky Horror auditions.
Even if the group I have done it with about 6 times does it again, unsure I want to return there.
Maybe I will do both?
Maybe I won't be in either?
Who knows.
Just love the show so hopefully involved somehow in one of them

[Beex]

I'll take the snow.

BlackPink did a collaboration with MapleStory M. I didn't get anything.

Snow is pretty but it's a pain to shovel when you get lots of it.

[Tuffin]

Gonna be part of the ensemble/phantoms for rocky horror with this new group
looks like old group aint doing it
so just with this new group this year
hopefully it will be fun!

[PharaohAtem]

Good luck but I'm sure you'll do great.

[Tuffin]

brother came by and cut down my last dead tree
it was sad to see it go but also a relief
it did not have much time left before a good storm of the wind and/or snow variety forced it down
prolly will spend any not rainy time this weekend cleaning up the mess it is now
i could rant about work, but i wont
it is mildly annoying, but it pays so gd well that i can easily tolerate mild annoyances
finally got confirmation that my school loan repayments are in full swing and are officially due again on 10.20
booooo
so many still left
tho the one i have been focused on the most is now down to about only 3k, so thats nice
might even have it down to 2k or smaller by the time payments officially restart
wouldnt mind the loans so much if i had finished school fully, but oh well
shit happens
works also been a bit on edge and looking to potentially pull any/all ndt people to send to pratt
i get it, faa is pissed at them (rightly so it would seem)
but i also hope they dont end up needing me
im positive it would mean stress and headaches ha

[lolin]

avoid those headaches if you can :<

also i'm assuming the tree was dangerous how it was?

[Tuffin]

i will for sure try to avoid the headaches!
and yes, tree was very dangerous
it had been killed off by these fuckers a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymantria_dispar_dispar
they managed to defoliate all of my big old oaks, back to back years too, and only one of my five made it through the double defoliation
i only had the money to cut down the two other dead trees close to my home
this one was far enough away from my home(meaning not right above it like the others had been lol)
but basically each storm brought pieces crashing down and causing damage and also just being a risk of dropping on me or my pets or parts of the house or parts of the neighbors house
so finally got it down
what isn't rotted out will be split for firewood
so at least it might come to some use still
still wish i could have saved more of them from those fuckers

[Tuffin]

most of the tree is cleaned up and stacked to be burned in the fireplace once seasoned
huzzah
first rocky rehearsal of the year is tomorrow
i think this places director works for my sister company
fun
momo keeps sleeping on my keyboard
its cute but the fur
how do you restart/resume friendships?
i have always been shit at communicating but it got to like zero levels during pandemic
now would like to reach back out
miss a lot of people
mom driving lessons are going well
i think she could pass a test but she doesnt agree and wont try yet
idk how to trick her into it
my oldest friend finally quit his fun but shitty job (min wage, no benefits, crazy hours)
should be seeing him thursday for jazz night to see how new boring but functional job (above min wage, full benefits, set schedule) is going for him
hopefully its going okay

[lolin]

for friends you just gotta make the first move

just be all "hey i wanted to reconnect with you because you're a cool person" maybe?

[Ojisama]

... how new boring but functional job (above min wage, full benefits, set schedule) is going for him.

Can you throw one of those in my direction?

[Tuffin]

ha, i would but i didnt throw him this one in the first place lol

[PharaohAtem]

===========

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
been very busy and stressed recently
i have had some work stressors
but mostly house and car and life
been flooding a lot out near me
this meant at one point we had a water feature in the basement
oh and my retaining wall burst from the middle....so prolly gotta replace that
then the plumbing started acting up
then the septic started acting up
then check engine light on car
etc etc etc
all this while doing rehearsals for rocky about 3 times a week and normal chores/errands
so been very busy
car and plumbing issues have been solved as of today
so thats a start at least
also, no more water feature in basement
right, need dumpster rental for further basement cleanout too
the list is getting a bit long
prolly going to have to work some OT to pay off these extra fun times
things could be worse, but they obviously could also be better
