Today was the first time in ? days that I have taken the shuttle to the EDR for lunch. I did want to use the trip to pick up a few pakidges from the post office, but when I checked my box I could see that the light was off behind the counter even though it’s definitely a Monday, which I just now realized is because it’s (gross) Columbus Day. None of my pakidges are in a parcel locker even though I’m fairly certain that all of them would fit in one, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

But the general store was open, so at least I got a bottle of wine to drink after surviving work. Blah blah blah, work work work. Today is eighteen days since September 25th, and in those eighteen days I have only had two days off. So I am extra extra EXTRA ready for this particular weekend.

In a few minutes I have to leave for work. Again. Day five of six. I would quite literally murder for some extra time off.

If one more FOH bitch asks me where the dirty glasses go while they are staring at the racks, I just might snap, “What do your eyeballs tell you, sugar cube?”

If Mike does one more inconsiderate thing, I might choke him to death with my bare hands, right there in the middle of the kitchen. 

Now that my birthday has happened, I actually do want to try to stop buying myself presents. Of course I will still give myself permission to buy books somewhat regularly, and if I find a great deal on something that would be really good to have in my room I might make the purchase, but for the most part, for the rest of October I want to make an effort to limit my spending to the essentials. T-Mobile, cannabis, Netflix, not much else. 

THAT BEING SAID, here is a list of toys that I wish I could buy right now:

12 Days of Halloween Barbie (good thing you have to be some sort of club member to buy her - I'm not a member, so I literally can't spend the money on her right now!)

Monster High x Wednesday Bianca Barclay, and a second one to re-dress because this doll is too gorgeous to not be at least one more character

more X-Men '97 action figures, especially (in no particular order) Bishop, Fabulous Magneto, Nightcrawler, Morph, Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Jean, Maddie, Emma, Storm, and Professor X

2-5 more Storm action figures

more Hello Kitty Care Bears

Elphaba Care Bear

several Hello Kitty and Friends plush: Badtz-Maru, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, My Melody, other characters . . .

a few more plush Hello Kitty characters dressed up as other animals (for example, this Kuromi in a unicorn costume)

a few more Elphaba dolls (one is in a mysteriously delayed pakidge that may or may not ever arrive, but eventually I want three to display together)

at least one Megazord

all four of those rare expensive Charmed action figures with interlocking pieces of an attic playset

one Black Widow action figure with a motorcycle

2-6 Invisible Woman action figures

President Barbie (from the 2023 film)

at least one Descendants Audrey doll (partly because her actor was also a Charmed One)

this The Little Mermaid doll set, which I was and still kind of am seriously tempted to buy for my birthday

maybe one random Winx doll?

many more Trolls Band Together Mineez --- I like these way more than I thought I would, considering that most of them don't have brushable hair!

. . . do I like my new Kuromi doll enough to get My Melody as well?

A Goofy Movie Doorables set

maybe one or three Na Na Na Surprise Minis?

 Obviously I always remember that I have the same birthday as Professor McGonagall, but I often forget that in 2001 my birthday was the airdate of "Charmed Again," Paige's first episode!
