I'M SO GODDAMN COLD. But we've made it past the shortest day, so at least I have a few extra minutes of daylight to look forward to every week. Christmas in two days. I need to get some cards together and also ask my boss if I can leave early Wednesday, because Mom is really on my ass about it. Slept so much last night, but I'm still yawning constantly? Unclear whether it's because of too much sleep, too much cold, or some miserable combination of both.

Enjoying my stupid expensive yoga mat so far. Still have a ton of laundry to do. Need to journal more. Got seven inches of hair chopped off on a whim! Trying to convince someone to take me to the movies tomorrow because it's cheap hot dog night. Failing! Really just want to go home and watch some wrestling; I want to get back into NJPW with the Road to Tokyo Dome shows ahead of WK20, and I'm sure I won't have time over Christmas and then Worlds End weekend.

Those four days off of work are gonna be nice.

22. What Fantasy Invention Would You Want to Exist in Reality?

One week out from Christmas, and I'm getting the blues about it all. I keep trying to write about why and deleting it all because I can't get it quite right, but basically a lot of years of miserable Christmases has led to us just not really bothering this time around, which is probably for the best because it greatly reduces the likelihood of my having to spend Christmas Eve running between different rooms to try to get everyone to stop crying again, but I'm sure my mom is quietly disappointed about it regardless. Probably doesn't help that this is our first Christmas without a pet, like, ever? We've got to at least get a tree next time.

Just got pulled in for a meeting with my managers because I've been doing my job too well and they're giving me more to do starting next month, damn it! More techs to work with, a whole other department (in a whole different building) to manage internal work orders for and coordinate with, whyyyyy? I spent a decade keeping my head down just to avoid this sort of thing!

Successfully walked home from work yesterday for the first time since throwing out my back. I was pretty sore by the time I made it, but not cripplingly so, and then mom ordered Boston Pizza so I was able to rejuvenate myself with overpriced pasta and the one-night-only return of AEW Dark (oh my god, I've missed Taz so much).

Experimented with magnetic nail polish again last night. Was still unable to do anything cohesive with it, but it looks prettier than it did last time!

My goal of not spending money that I don't have willy-nilly anymore is not going great so far (I blame the sleep deprivation), but hopefully this expensive yoga mat will aid in my recovery efforts??? I have, however, shut down two very pricey subscription services that I've been on for years to make up for it, so NOW it's time to get serious about saving. Two days to the AEW pre-sales!

In honour of Saya Kamitani becoming the first woman to ever snag the top spot in the Tokyo Sports awards, Stardom uploaded a killer playlist of all the big singles matches from her current run, so if you want to see a bunch of dramatic women beating the ever-loving shit out of each for several hours, fill your fucking boots (the third of the three Tam Nakano bouts is particularly poignant in the immediate wake of John Cena's hilariously lackluster retirement match).

20. Are You a Hoarder or a Minimalist?

All my shit is what separates me from the animals!

Gotta be a legendarily terrible weekend in the news, huh? What with the multiple mass shootings and the tragic Hollywood parricides and whatnot? Definitely a Monday to just kinda tune the world out and focus on work and/or my rich inner life.

Back is doing much better! Spent some of the weekend with spiking pain from my neck to my thighs, but I think those were just normal sore muscles and knots from coping with the initial injury. I'm mostly just very stiff now. May even try walking home from work during this brief break in the -40 degree weather, but we'll see how I'm holding up towards the end of the day.

Monday Mystery Movie tonight! I think it's probably gonna be the Hugh Jackman Neil Diamond impersonator one? Weird!
