Grabbed the Caramel Apple Empanada after work today and holy moly, it is INCREDIBLE! It reminds me of a fried apple pie; the thing does get messy so if any of you decide to order it, so make sure you have plenty of napkins handy!

I can understand why so many people wanted this item back. Even my mom was curious about the item!

The Caramel Apple Empanadas are back at Taco Bell and Ryan and I are gonna try them tomorrow! We're pretty excited because they haven't been on the menu for a few years and people have been begging for them to come back. I hope it's worth the hype.

Since I got Ryan the Korean Latios plush last week, he told me he would get me whatever I wanted so I asked for the 25th Anniversary Ho-Oh plush. The prices were kinda nuts (given that the merch is Japan exclusive), but Ryan ended up getting me the plush anyway! He was gonna ship it to me, but then I told him it wouldn't work because my parents would complain. So, he's shipping it to himself so he can compile all my Christmas gifts. I will do the same for his gifts so we can make it easier for each other. (I mean, we do this every year, to the disdain of my parents)

Tried to get a leg up on fixing my car by looking for repair shops that are affordable, but my dad told me not to book anything until he takes a look at the damage more throughly. I don’t blame him for not looking at it sooner since he’s been booked, but this is kind of starting to worry me.

My boyfriend and I's anniversary is coming up but I don't think I'll do anything too major. Might not ask for fanart this year given the situation with my car.

Not gonna lab hunt for a while as I have to clean out my Wondertrade Box.

Check the Auction House!

Congratulations! A shiny Teddiursa hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #57)! Your PokéRadar reset and needs new batteries.

This is probably the only shiny I'll be getting from this hunt. And I'm kind of glad it came early!

Ended up going to the mall today because my mom wanted to take advantage of the Black Friday sale at Macy's. She also got me the shirt I mentioned some feeds ago. She asked me if I wanted to lump it with all my Christmas gifts, and I said that was fine. I also found a Korean Latios plush that I am going to gift Ryan (I ran the plush by him because I didn't know if he had it or not).

Parents are STILL on my case about my car getting dented. They still think it's my fault when it really wasn't. On the way to the mall, my mom told me that they didn't deserve to get me anything because of my car getting damaged.

This is getting ridiculous.

My parents came home from their trip earlier today. They took a look at the damage and they were a little bit shocked. At first, they didn’t blame me, but when they found out I went to the store for groceries, they started pointing the finger at me. Dad claimed my Starbucks drink wasn’t “free” because I managed to get the damage done to my car. That doesn’t make sense, one and two, he told me I’d have to stop eating out to pay for the repair.

I have no idea what train he is on, but he’s CLEARLY on the wrong track!

I am still feeling uneasy about the damage done to my car. My parents are coming back home tomorrow, and I am terrified because I have no idea if they are still gonna blame me for going to Starbucks instead of focusing on the car damage. Speak of the damage, I still don't know who is gonna cover the damage.

Remember when I stopped at Starbucks earlier today? Well it turns out something else happened and I didn’t notice until I was about to leave for work. It turns out that my car got dented. I don’t know why I didn’t notice anything while I was at Starbucks but I’m guessing that somebody must’ve hit their door on my car. The damage appears to be minor, but I don’t know how much this is going to cost me because I wasn’t there when my car got hit. I informed my dad via text and he was more concerned that I got Starbucks instead of the car getting damaged. I told him that the drink was free (I used some reward points) but I don’t think he believed me. Unfortunately, my parents are still on their trip and they’re not supposed to be back till Saturday. So I’m basically screwed.

I got word that Macy's has already started their Black Friday sales, and there's this certain shirt I have been eyeing since they have teamed up with Disney for the Thanksgiving Parade (They have a new balloon). I hope I can get my hands on it before it gets sold out because the said shirt is on sale now. The problem is that I have to ask my mom for help on purchasing it because she is a Macy's member; she's currently on a trip with my dad and won't be back until the weekend. If all else fails, I asked Ryan if he could get me the shirt.

Well, we finally got some cooler temperatures and it looks like they’re gonna be staying! It was also Red Cup Day at Starbucks so it was perfect weather to get myself a hot drink!

This bug bite that I have is by far the worst bug bite I've had in a while. I'm trying my hardest to not scratch it, but apparently I've developed a rash pretty close to where I got bitten and I'm not even sure what on earth bit me. To make matters worse, my parents aren't even home because they went on another trip and I don't know if this bite is going to heal by the time they get back. I already took a Zyrtec because of the itchiness and I already put some ice on the bug bite.

Hoping for the best here

Why is it called the Weary Cat emoji if it doesn't look tired?

Still being eaten alive by insects. Found out I got a massive bug bite on my right arm and it really itches. The good news is that we are supposed to be getting some lower temperatures this week. I hope it stays that way.

The constant summer weather was okay for a while, but now I think I'm starting to get sick of it. I am an insect magnet and I can't afford to keep getting bitten. I know this partially has to do with my blood type, but I don't feel like getting into that today. I have no idea when it's gonna get cooler. This autumn has been more like Summer 2.0, and I don't know if it's going to actually get cold. I hope it gets colder by December. If not, my area will have to pull an Australia and have a summer Christmas.

The Christmas onslaught is continuing. The local radio station in Ryan’s area has started the Christmas music! How do I know this? I got a notification from iHeartRadio and went to check… and got hit in the face with Mannheim Steamroller. (FYI if you don’t know who they are, go check them out. They’re awesome)

I am not mentally okay and I can admit that in full confidence. The constant negativity is driving me to insanity, and I don’t know how to tackle this.


I can’t help everyone knowing that my own mental health is in shambles. And I can’t be the Ho-Oh that you guys know and love. I’m so sorry. 😭
