Fun update: he's now not getting on a plane until 5:30 and landing at 7

Maybe 🙄

I'm so frustrated and I'm not even the one flying/missing my friend's wedding. I can't even imagine how he feels

[coffeewithcalypso]

He was supposed to be here at 10. Apparently his flight has been delayed three times, now supposedly landing at 12:15. We're trying to make a wedding at 2

I know so many industries are bad right now but truly what the fuck is going on with the airlines? I don't know anyone in several years who's flights have gone as planned.

I booked my first flights since before covid with a one hour layover. Within three days I was informed it was 30 minute layover. This is for a flight in June, not a last minute change. Who do they think can make that connection??? I have rebooked obviously but wtf.

Now today my partner had a one hour layover, and he was forced to reschedule before he even got off the ground, but of course after he had done security and whatnot. So now I'm not going to see him tonight.

I've flown a lot in my life and only had issues like this occasionally. Now it seems to just be industry norm. I don't know what everyday people can do but I don't understand why we're just being complacent about it.

I'm just so tired of hearing covid as an excuse four years later for consistently subpar if not outright hostile behavior toward consumers

My sisters said I don't seem as excited as last time for my partner to get into town. And they're probably right. Not that I'm not excited, just that I seem less excited. I'm kind of stressed because I have this big to do list I'm trying to get through but I can't figure out why I'm doing this to myself. Who cares if the toilets are scrubbed. We've even talked about it and he was like "I don't care what your house looks like I just want to spend time with you" and then showed me videos of his house to make me feel better.

It has nothing to do with him. I think I'm feeling a bit disconnected, which I knew was going to be an issue with a long distance thing, I have a hard time making things feel real that I'm not experiencing in person. I actually manage to go way longer than I thought I would before the feeling starts but this seems about the right time. It doesn't help he wasn't feeling well for awhile so was kind of self absorbed (as you do when you're not feeling well it's not a judgement) but made me feel a bit ignored.

And of course there's that pesky attachment style I have that gets scared any time something serious is going to happen and tries to play it cool. So I'm piling up tasks for myself to avoid feeling things like excitement in case somehow I'm disappointed?

I've been sitting with myself a lot the past couple of days and I know that's what it is. I don't know why my brain is incapable of being a normal person who is excited and happy about things but at least I know what it's doing I guess. If I can hold out for less than 48 hours he'll be here and my stupid brain won't have won.

#knowing i have an avoidant attachment style is helpful #but it also makes me frustrated with myself #like when your cat knows they shouldn't be on the counter but gets up there anyway #it's like why are you doing this??? You know better #pinball baby

If you get this, answer w/three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifications. Anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

I'm so bad at these icebreaker games. Let's see…

I've been in a DnD campaign of one sort or another consistently for over a decade. Not the same campaign but always at least one, if not more. Not always DnD technically, but people understand that better than saying a tabletop game. I'm currently in three.

I've been to Europe six times. Which isn't as much as some people but is a lot more than others. I was supposed to go a seventh time in 2020 but we all know what happened there.

I freakin' love action movies. I feel like this tends to surprise people because I dress very feminine and I am very feminist, and action movies tend to be neither of those things. But I think they're a fun time if I can turn my brain off enough. The new Mad Max movie comes out next month and I'm super excited for it! (To be fair the last one was certainly more feminist than most action movies.)

Got a new Mac for work. Cool, I don't want to ignore the privilege of that. Now that it's acknowledged let me say, it is the ugliest piece of machinery I've purchased since the early 2000s. It literally looks like the boxy ass Mac I got in 2006. Who signed off on this?

Like, not to be dramatic, but it literally makes me angry every time I look at its ugly ass.

New keyboard feels great, the OS is fine. The case of it is hideous.

Me filling out TSA precheck information:

But what if my name isn't spelled the way it appears on every legal document I've ever had???

What if I'm not actually female???

Have I ever lived anywhere in my life???

#government documents make me nervous

Pulled through right at the end around 11:50. Not too bad for not realizing what was happening until around 3:30 in the afternoon

Holy shit, I love all of y'all! That took like 30 seconds! Feel free to keep spamming me if you need the boops, I just may not be super good about returning them. I've been at this for hours and I want to be free. But this was a great day!

If anyone wants to spam me for a badge feel free.

I've got all my badges but I'm about 125 short of maxing out my received counter

I just realized there's a boop tag where people want to be booped so I'll probably go hang out there instead of annoying my mutuals.

So if you're there and see this, please boop me!

#boop #april fools #i love a zeitgeist

[coffeewithcalypso]

Apparently there are badges to be warned by booping people. I have not been booped so I don't know how annoying it is but I'm gonna be booping everybody. For the badges. So sorry in advance

Get you a man who ships you your favorite condiment because you don't live near a Trader Joe's and he does

#I'm only an hour away but it's been awhile since I made it there #and I'm obsessed with this stuff #and am the one who introduced him to it #pinball baby

Slightly related, he was telling me last night actually that he's been getting ads for rings. I was like well that tracks given that you've been jewelry shopping. And he was like "yeah but these are like wedding rings. And I'm just like, it's been three months, universe*, calm down." (A sentiment that I, for the record, agree with.)

But then this morning he was telling me he woke up and one of the joints on his ring finger was hurting. In my head, I was like "oh no, it's a bad omen". And he says, "which I guess is a sign." Me in my head, panic because yes, when something hurts it's a bad sign, a sign that something is bad. And he continues, "like the universe is doubling down on what it was trying to say with the wedding ring ads, and is mad that I was saying it's only been only been three months." I even in my next video was like "you took it as a good sign?" And he was like, "of course it's a good sign."

This man was literally in a relationship for over decade. It's been three months and he's talking about wedding rings 😂 

*I put universe, I don't remember exactly what higher power/omnipotence he referenced

#pinball baby #i mean did i have the thought the other day that i should start a pinterest board for rings? #sure #but that was because my sister said that a couple weeks ago and planted the seed #it's been three months and that's ridiculous

[coffeewithcalypso]

So my boyfriend, with no guidance from me, started wearing a simple silver chain a couple of months ago. I love it, I am very into it. I love jewelry on men. Which I of course told him. I even sent some pictures of men wearing bracelets and rings, like look how cool. Which I would mention again every now and then. So then about a month ago he mentioned that he was thinking about getting a bracelet. I was very enthusiastic about this. His bracelets came in today and they look great. Now I've just got to start planting the seeds for a couple of simple rings. He's gonna be so fucking hott. Even hotter than he already is. He's gonna be so fashionable. Plus we love a man who actually seeks out my opinion and tries it.

Okay maybe I'm not the idiot because everything I'm seeing online is assuming you have a white primer you want to tint a color. Which makes me feel slightly better except for the part where I can't figure out how the fuck to tint my clear primer white??? Do I just walk into Lowe's with a previously purchased container and ask them??? Are they going to laugh at me??? Do I just assume it's money wasted and buy more primer to avoid being laughed at??? But how do I make sure it's not clear again??? I just don't fucking understand

I thought I was buying white paint when I bought some exterior primer. Then I worried that wasn't what I bought so I opened it and it's white. So I started painting the door and it isn't white it's clear.

Who let me buy a house? Why is every single thing I try to do in my house 50x more complicated than it even seems possible for it to be. Where the fuck do I get exterior white paint???

Dad is coming help me hang this door Saturday and it won't be painted at this rate.

I need a nice butch lesbian to walk me through basic house projects I guess because even for what seems like simple projects, I'm apparently too stupid to even be able to buy white paint.
