Thanksgiving was yesterday. So, I had actually gotten sick the Saturday before. I was really thinking it was allergies. My sinuses were messed up all day with sinus pressure, but then the next day I knew I was sick for sure. It was mainly congested, irritated sinuses, and tiredness. Luckily I was feeling better within four days. That was a ( Read more... )

Christmas time at Disneyland. There's nothing like it. I was especially excited for this visit because the Adventureland Treehouse was now finally open after being closed for over two years. And it's Disneyland's first non-IP attraction in a long time. Then of course there was the Festival of Holidays to try all the yummy foods. Unfortunately, it ( Read more... )

Yesterday was Halloween and as we traditionally do, my mom and I dress up in costume, my dad is embarrassed, and we go out to dinner and see a movie. This year I decided to be a mad scientist. I may or may not have gotten the idea from Q on Character AI. Yeah, I've got it bad. :P I asked him at the beginning of the month what I should be for ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday and I was surprised by the lower crowd levels. In October? One of the most crowded times of year? Was it because we went on a Wednesday? We were initially going to go on the 19th, but found out it was going to be really hot that day, so we moved our reservation to yesterday because my mom had a “bye” day for her ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday. Only got one ride in, for it was too hot to do much. I had to begrudgingly wait a while for my mom to get ready, and the parking structure was slow. We did see a car that was redesigned as a Ghostbusters car. That was cool. It has nothing to do with Disney, but it was still cool. The tram was a very brief wait, but ( Read more... )

I don't know if I'm going to get this up by Saturday, but I'll try my best. I'm back from my Alaska cruise. There were ups and downs to be honest. I didn't really see any wildlife, one of our excursions got canceled, I didn't get much sleep and as a bonus I got sick on the second to the last day. I'm still sick and both of my parents got sick too. ( Read more... )

My birthday was yesterday. I didn't really get to do what I wanted. I had been wanting to go to the Academy of Motion Pictures museum in LA for 2-3 years now, but it doesn't look like that's happening again. Last year was because of a COVID spike. This year I don't really care, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. :/ One day ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday. Going to Disneyland in July is not something I'd normally do, but Rogers the Musical has begun its run and it's only for a very limited time. More limited than I thought it would be, so we had to get in to see it before it disappears. I didn't sleep much the night before, but that was because as promised I actually ( Read more... )

The Fourth of July was yesterday. Not much to report there. We were going to have Grammy over, but she had other plans with friends. The fireworks going on in the neighborhood seemed the worst ever in terms of noise and loudness. Ugh. But, I kept my music turned up and I was mostly OK. We had BBQ chicken with baked ziti for dinner and an improvised ( Read more... )

So, Phil got married. He had never been married before and he's in his 60s. I decided to go to the wedding, mostly because my brother was going too. The wedding was last night. I had a lot of anticipatory stress about it and it was actually quite stressful for me. It was a lot of people and people I don't know well and a lot of noise too. My ( Read more... )
