@star2000shadow: Thats good. i feel like i wasn't productive, even though i was. I went grocery shopping (yay for curbside pick up), got gas, did dishes, and then finally i was able to fall asleep around 7 or 8ish. I'm only up now cause Tyi was hungry and his mom's asleep so i went to the gas station for pizza.
@CooperationIsKey: Those are all good rides! I like haunted mansion cause it's relaxing and out of the sun, but my favorites were Thunder mountain rail road, the avatar ride, smuggler's run, and test track.
Yeah, i think my mom had some fake pothos for decoration in the house when i grew up. There was this.... shelf thing in the livingroom up by the ceiling that was built out of the wall? anyway, she put a spider plant up there with the decorative silk pothos leaves, as well as a few other interesting things like an ostrich egg and a crystal scale (like this one ) and a blown glass conch shell and an actual conch shell. I think she put them up there so we didn't break them lol
@shadami: I totally get it. Theme parks are super overwhelming for some people. Honestly i think if it werent for the fact that my brain is always understimulated(adhd) i would have been overwhelmed too. For me it was just the right amount of stimuli for me to really enjoy myself, even while waiting in lines or eating. I really liked animal kingdom because it felt pretty laid back for the most part compared to the other parks, but also because my favorite ride was the Avatar ride- flight of passage. It was really really cool for me, but i can see how some people would hate it (my husband doesn't do heights, even simulated ones).
As for the bugs life show, i can completely see where you'd have so much anxiety and stuff from it. We started our day with it, and i can tell you it's not something i particularly enjoyed. I really did like going through the entrance to it and getting to see all the carvings in the tree of life though. that was really neat.
@Totalanimefan: i did finally get some sleep, thank goodness. I'm about to go get more though, soon as this medicine kicks in.

@Rei Ann: I get that. I wish i was able to be on a set schedule like that, but my body won't let me. Actually, it didn't let me sleep for 24 hours which was super annoying, but i did finally get to sleep for a bit. I'm honestly only up right now because hubby was hungry and we're all sick, but i'm least sick? so i ran to the 7-11 and got pizza. And then when i got back i made us both some theraflu, which i'm waiting for mine to cool a little before i consume it and it makes me tired again.

@Totalanimefan: I think hotels are generally expensive, unless you REALLY look for something or go with an airbnb.
Tyi preordered both of the new pokemon games and he's really excited about them both. ( Sorry for the delay, i tried to lay down and couldn't sleep. i've been up since about 7 last night)
@Shadami: I have been to both disneyland and world once. My mom/Aunt took me and my sibling to disneyland when i was a kid (i vaguely remember toontown? or roger rabbit themed trolly cars? I don't really know what it was. it was so long ago it feels almost like a fever dream, and that was really about all i remember. i think i was between 8-10 years old when we went, based on pictures and how old i looked in them.) and then mom took us (me, her, my hubby, and my sibling) to wdw with 10 day tickets and she and i went the full 10 days, Tyi went like 4 or 5 days, and spent at least 1 full day in each park (he had a bum knee at the time) and my sibling went i think 6 or 7 days. The star wars area was super neat, even as someone who isn't super into star wars. I didn't get to ride the really big attraction, but only because no one wanted to wait in line with me that long, and i didn't wanna separate the group, but smuggler's run was probably one of the coolest rides- it was super interactive.
@Rei Ann: that's okay, it happens. i am also east coast, just.... my body doesn't know what a night time sleep schedule is, and right now it apparently just doesn't know what sleep is. -shrug-

@Totalanimefan: yeah i think so too. I know it did for me! mostly because i check discord before i even get on my computer, so i hopped in as soon as i woke up yesterday.
That sounds fun! I've never been to any of the states in the east to vacation (and most i haven't even been through yet), but i think it's cool that you can basically pick somewhere (whether you've been there before or not) and decide that you're going to vacation there, and you can find things to do- historical markers, concerts, various activities, etc.
So my mother in law came home sick a couple days ago and now Tyi and i are sick too. it sucks and my throat hurts. it's not covid, at least.
@TeaTales: honestly, me too. i haven't been very active for a while, actually, mostly because of depression, but also partially because of the hurricane. I honestly don't know what happened to all of october and september- the days have blurred together so much that it really just feels like the end of august for me.

Finally finished the jigsaw, and then i remembered that the confetti payout was broken, and still needs fixed, but at least i know that Vozzy's working on it. I forgot how much i hate doing the jigsaw puzzles, my hand is sore from being in the same position for so long.

@CooperationIsKey: I unfortunately don't have any plants right now. I hope when my mother in law moves out that i will be able to get a rack for some plants in the kitchen window, since it gets the most sun, but i have to wait because she has stuff there.
Yeah, i don't think i could do more than just the jigsaw and chat in here. I have untreated ADHD so the hyper focus hits hard, especially when playing games. I haven't played minecraft in a while. I ended up buying it on PC (i had it on ps4), and then basically as soon as i did my friends stopped playing it, so i haven't touched it.

@CooperationIsKey: Yeah, i dream of having a garden full of edible flowers, unusual plants, and a small section of my yard devoted to fruit trees. But also at the same time, i'm not one for harvesting things, and i don't have a green thumb, exactly, so i'd need my mom's help for sure (she has a degree in horticulture) even though she lives across the country.
I am so bad at juggling multiple things. like even right now i'm struggling to do a puzzle and chat in here (talking in here is my main priority)

@CooperationIsKey: Yesss. i love most of their lemonades. I wish i had a mango tree and some pineapple plants... I can easily get the pineapple, but the mango tree is a different story since we rent. That's a tad more permanent than pineapple plants. Maybe if we buy a house in a couple years, i might get a mango tree.. And an orange tree.. and then plant a bunch of lavender and cat nip and other bug deterrent plants... yeah....
Oh you just reminded me i was supposed to be on disney dreamlight valley working on the halloween events...

@Shadami: Yeah, it's a little pricey, but so worth it. They also have a light saber thing too, which is really neat cause they have a whole presentation with it, but we didn't do that. My sister did though and she really enjoyed it. Man, i wanna go back to disney so bad... tax season cannot get here soon enough.
@star2000shadow: I get that. I'm the one that makes the food in my home, so when i don't feel like cooking we go out to eat. Tonight we went to wendy's cause i wanted the fries. Which, while i ordered a burger and a combo meal (total of 2 burgers+ a lg fry) i only really ate the fries and half of a burger. The rest is now in the fridge for later or for tomorrow.

@CooperationIsKey: I understand the struggle. I imagine sitting up would hurt your back after a while anyways because of lack of back support or from hunching over.
