(5)

all of my clothes are comfy, i cannot participate in jeans friday at work because bc virtually everything i wear i could sleep in

i am cool with just kicking my socks off and curling up in bed

excellent

... tbh unless I'm leaving the house I just stay in my pjs all damn day >.>

same

like i usually sleep in my underwear, but on weekends i have one or two garments to just drag on and pretend i got dressed

I have snuggly cats with sharp claws, so that is a bad idea for me.

I do sleep in actual clothes XD

lol very sensible

my ID just arrived, thank god

also looooooool it literally says "not for federal purposes" on it bc Maine is that far behind on updating how we make the damn things

my last one did not say that

google says i'm good to fly with it tho

thank goodness

now just left to organize luggage, like, if it comes down to it i have a backpack i can use as carry-on if i pack very sparingly, plus apparently a purse qualifies as like secret invisible carry-on, but having actual luggage pieces would be nice

yeah I used to fly with a backpack and a carry-on that I'd stuff in the overheads

do not under any circumstances let them put a backpack into the actual luggage compartment though, like if they say they don't have room in the overheads and want to check it. I did that once and they destroyed my backpack

I will not

This is the backpack that was a decade old BEFORE it carried me through homelessness. No one gets to fuck with it

omg I’m actually going to California to visit you, like, my adult life has featured enough instability that I haven’t quite trusted it would actually happen until just now

I have cleaned the futon that you're sleeping on and scheduled actual cleaners to come next week cuz the kitchen and bathroom are beyond my ability, so I sure hope it's real

I’m gonna meet you and possibly one of ur cats and watch TV together and eat at interesting places and go to a museum and see a California beach and come back home at midnight-thirty to wake up everyone else in the house I can’t wait

you'll meet both my cats! Momo will probably sit on you. Misty will hiss at you

lol I was not sure Misty would allow me into her presence at all

when you're here that long you'll see her, at least when it's food time and she's hovering, but definitely from the stairs while we sit on the futon

excite. I love her so

My gmail will not autocomplete it so, yet again: your email?

cacopheny @ gmail

same as my handle literally everywhere else XD Iam predictable

Gmail?

at gmail yeah

There was an adjustment to my flight schedule not long after you bought the ticket, and I’ve been waiting to forward it to you in case there were any w

more

sent

awesome. I was gonna ask you to forward me your flight info anyway, so I'd know which baggage claim to find you at

(I know you might not check baggage, but it's the easiest place to find people)

i've hopefully got a suitcase incoming, so i'll be checking that. like, i could just pack backpack and purse, but leeway is precious. especially if i'm able to afford anything to bring back

suitcase: procured

temperature on this unseasonably warm day: 10-8 degrees lower than LA

next week looks like it'll be around fifteen degrees' difference? this fucking "winter" has been ridiculous here, just the scariest evidence of climate change yet

yeesh

I just saw a thing on tumblr about that

Yeah, like. Aside from a couple snow storms and a cold front that brought us two days of the coldest weather in decades (freaky in its own right), winter has felt an awful lot like late fall. It’s just been so goddamn warm, rarely near freezing when most winter days should be there or lower

We are so fucked, long term and short term - summer here is gonna be like molten lava

. . . anyway. suitcase, soft, fun pockets, standard size so 30 bucks to check each way bc Delta, gonna put all the important shit (electronics, cords, skincare, couple changes of clothes in case of luggage loss) in my backpack and purse, gonna spend saturday getting my shit together and sunday in the air remembering

everything i forgot

and jfk is requiring all delta passengers to check in at terminal four, so i know that in advance which really helps my stress level in re: the traveling part

and i shelled out a few bucks to upgrade the flight between portland and new york and back, so that will be a nice way to ease in on the way out and to relax coming back

nice ^^

Like okay and I know I’m fixating on the flights but TO BE CLEAR i am so fuckin pumped about coming to see you and to do a few outings and to watch TV and movies together and to have Misty hiss at me

no it's cool, I understand :3

/loves on!

Also lol I talked a bit about visiting you, a person I have known for years but never met in person before, to an older coworker and he was like “but what if ur getting catfished” and I said “then I will shake Gail’s hand in respect for playing one hell of a long game”

that would be pretty tricky to do ahaha
